*The ominous music begins to play as the steel cage begins to descend from the rafters*
Tazz: This is it folks, the final chapter of one of XWA's biggest fueds is about to come to a painful end for one of these men.
JR: That is right. Raven will defend his title against the Money in the Bank winner, Rob Van Dam in a steel cage.
Lilian: The following contest is a Steel Cage match and is for the XWA World Heavyweight Championship! In order to win this match, you must either score a pinfall, or a submission.
ROB VAN DAM!!! THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW!
"The Whole F'N Show" by Krushinator begins to play as RVD appears on the ramp as the fans come alive.
Lilian: Introducing the challenger, from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing in at 230 Pounds, Rob Van Dam!!!
JR: Looks like RVD is going to try and be the whole F'N show tonight, and out-shine Raven in the cage.
Tazz: Yeah, good luck with that, here in reality, Raven is the whole show, the whole world, and the entire universe.
JR: Oh, Brother.
*RVD does his signature thumb taunt on the stage with the fans as some pyro goes off behind him. Some close ups show some fans starting a mini mosh pit, with security trying to break it up*
Tazz: I haven't seen so many rabid fans since Limp Bizkit played at Woodstock!
JR: Yeah, and wasn't that a great show.
*RVD rolls into the ring and holds his arms high as the crowd continues to cheer for him*
Tazz: This is his last chance, you better make the most of it Rob. Even if you do, your best still isn't good enough.
JR: He looks focused to me, he knows what is on the line.
*RVD's music fades as he stares at the entrance ramp as we see people approach a stage on the ramp*
Lilian: At this time, please welcome Hed (p.e)!!!
Tazz: There is Raven's favorite band, I wonder if they are here to play Raven to the ring.
JR: I am pretty sure about that.
Jared: What's up XWA? It's your boy, Jared. Tonight, we are going to do things a little diffrently, but, you know the deal.. ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD!!! HE IS HERE!!
* Upon his phrase, the lights begin to dim as a single guitar riff begins to play as the rest of the band kicks in and begins to play "Renegade"*
Tazz: It looks like Raven has a new theme song, this is going to be my new ring tone.
JR: Why doesn't that surprise me.
*Smoke begins to pour out the entrance ramp. The crowd in a frenzy cheers loudly as The Dark Lord himself becomes visible as he walks out of the smoke to a thunderous ovation*
Lilian: And the opponent, from Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 215 pounds, the current XWA champion, The Dark Lord, Raven!!!
JR: Raven seems prepared for this match, you can tell he knows this is a big match for him.
*As Raven begins his walk down the ramp, we see the pale figure of Daffney slink out of the smoke behind him. Decked in her corset top and ripped jeans, she slams her fist into her palm and walks slowly behind Raven*
Tazz: There is the Scream Queen, obviously going to watch this ringside.
*Raven pauses in the middle of the ramp, he looks out into the screaming fans in the stands, as he unclips the title from around his waist, and hoists it over his head as a large barage of pyro goes off behind him, causing the fans to cheer louder. Raven puts the title around his shoulder, as he stares ahead at the cage and continues his walk to the ring. Raven hands an outside official his title and walks towards the steps and climbs up and enters the ring. He walks right in RVD's face as his music fades and the bell sounds*
JR: You can feel the tension. For the final time, Raven and RVD will face off.
Tazz: And for the last time, Raven will make RVD look bad, and humiliate him in front of the world.
*Raven and RVD face off and begin to trash talk one another*
JR: You can feel the animosity between these two.
*Raven backs off and decks RVD with a hard right hand as he is rocked and fall to the mat in a hurry*
Tazz: This will be nothing but a fight, the cage just makes sure one of them can't run away.
*Raven picks up RVD and tosses him face first into the steel cage*
JR: Good lord, you could see the cage shake.
*Raven lifts up RVD's lifeless body, and rams him into the cage again as the crowd roars with approval*
Tazz: Looks like Raven has a lot of support tonight.
*Raven picks up RVD, and slams his face into the cage a third time*
JR: Raven is relentless here. Rob Van Dam is not getting any time to breath.
Tazz: Raven is trying to end this match as soon as possible, he doesn't want to deal with RVD anymore.
*Raven goes to pick RVD up again, and attempts to toss him into the cage, but RVD blocks it with a knee to the midsection, and sends Raven into the cage*
JR: RVD had that one scouted, Raven went to the well one too many times.
*With Raven down, RVD takes some time to collect himself and get his bearings. RVD runs back and dropkicks Raven and sandwiches him between his boots and the side of the cage*
Tazz: RVD now using the cage as a weapon, I don't like it, but it's smart.
*RVD approaches Raven and lifts him up and hits him with an elbow to the head, rocking him back, he hits him with another elbow that knocks Raven to the ground. With him on the ground, RVD does a spinning legdrop, crashing his weight across the throat of The Dark Lord.*
JR: RVD senses this is his oppertunity, and he is going for it.
*RVD goes for a quick cover, but Raven powers out at two*
Tazz: Way too early for the win. RVD is trying to make Raven use his energy.
*RVD goes for another spinning legdrop but Raven rolls out of the way, causing RVD to hit the canvas*
JR: That is one way to stop momentum.
*Raven makes it to a vertical base and begins to stomp RVD, over and over with stomps acorss the body*
Tazz: Raven is punishing every part of RVD.
JR: No remorse in Raven's eyes, those stomps are brutal.
*Raven delivers one last stomp directly into the forhead of RVD as Daffney screams from ringside*
Tazz: Have I mentioned how much I love that woman?
*Raven puts RVD in a seated position on the mat, and delivers a running kick to the spine of RVD*
JR: Raven is going to try and weaken RVD's back, it takes out a lot of moves from his game.
*Raven backs away from RVD, who is in a kneeeling position... Raven rushes at RVD and goes for Head Trauma, but RVD moves out the way and delivers a spin kick that sends Raven to the mat*
Tazz: What a counter. Raven was going to kick RVD's head off, he is lucky he moved.
Let's Go Raven!!!
RVD!!!
Let's Go Raven!!!
RVD!!!
Tazz: The fans seem to be split here tonight. I guess they are fans of good wrestling.
JR: Raven and RVD are two of the most popular stars here in XWA, and the fans are appreciating this early action.
*RVD once again on the offensive side and delivers a standing moonsault, crashing his weight down upon Raven*
Tazz: That had to knock the wind out of him.
*RVD stands up and delivers another standing moonsault*
JR: RVD is trying to break Raven's ribs. Good lord.
*On the second one, RVD lands in a cover and gets a two count*
Tazz: Each kickout drains Raven of energy.
*RVD shows a little bit of frustration as he slams a fist down onto the canvas*
JR: You can see RVD really wants to win the XWA title.
Tazz: Not only that, he wants to get a win over Raven. How many times has he lost to him, like 4 times.
*RVD sprawls raven in the center of the ring, rushes against the ropes and goes for Rolling Thunder, but Raven gets his knees up and RVD's back lands over his knees.*
JR: Raven with enough awareness to get the knees up.
Tazz: No way Raven is going to let RVD out-smart him.
*Raven lifts RVD up by the hair, and once again rams him face first into the cage. The force causes RVD to bounce back in front of Raven, who downs him with a clothesline*
JR: Raven is starting to build up steam, this is not a good sign for RVD.
*RVD gets up, and Raven knocks him down with another clothesline*
Tazz: Raven is not letting up, it looks liek RVD's title hopes are going up in smoke.
*Raven takes a little bit of time to gloat as he raises the Devil Horns as the crowd cheers loudly*
JR: Raven might want to cool it with the show boating, and stay on RVD.
*Raven picks up RVD and goes for a suplex, RVD blocks it, and hits a suplex of his own*
Tazz: The momentum keeps shifting, it's hard to keep track of this.
*RVD scales the ropes and does a split-legged moonsault to the prone body of Raven*
JR: Could this be it?
*RVD goes for the pin, but Raven kicks out at two*
Tazz: Close call. That was a big move.
*RVD agains shows signs of frustration as he once again climbs to the top rope*
JR: Could he be going for the Five Star Frog Splash?

Tazz: That had to hurt a lot.
*Raven hooks RVD's head in a DDT position, Raven looks out into the crowd, as they cheer madly. Raven grins darkly and snaps back causing RVD's head to be driven into the canvas, as his neck whiplashes back from the impact*

*Raven gets aa little pissed as he stalks to the corner of the ring and ducks down*
