Hello everyone! You may have seen some of my posts before
where I fantasy book PPV's 1-2 days before they occur. I have been doing these
since Night Of Champions 2015, so this will actually mark my 1 year
anniversary! If you want, you can click on my name and read some of my other
ones. Today, this is how I would book Clash Of Champions 2016. Enjoy!
PRE SHOW
We get the usual pre show panel of Renee, Booker, Jerry
Lawler and Lita. A SML is announced with Cesaro earlier in the day. Use
#AskCesaro. The panel gives their predictions and hype up the matches and we
get video packages. Enzo and Cass vs Shining Stars is also announced the day
before the PPV for the main show. We get to our kickoff match.
1ST Kickoff Match: Nia Jax vs Alicia Fox
Nia comes out first followed by Fox. The match goes 8 1/2
minutes. Nia dominates 99% of the match but near the end Alicia starts to make
a comeback. Fox is beating Nia down and is setting up for her finisher when out
of nowhere she's attacked from behind by the returning Paige and Emma. The two
beat the hell out of Fox and the match goes to a DQ, being won by Fox. Nia
joins the onslaught. The 3 women leave Alicia in a heap and then pose over her.
I've been seeing this idea keep popping up to make a female shield. Paige isn't
doing anything, Emma wasn't even drafted so she could come to Raw, and Nia is
already on fire. It gives all 3 girls something to do and they would dominate
the women's division as a faction. I think it could be an awesome new angle. I
can't really think of a good name for them off the spot, but maybe the could be
called something like "The Revolution".
WINNER by DQ: Alicia Fox
The panel continues to hype the matches, and we get the
Cesaro SML. We get to the main show.
MAIN SHOW
We get the opening video package and we get highlights of
all of the greatest champions ever, going with the PPV theme. We get the
opening pyro and Cole welcomes us to the show. I honestly have no idea how long
it takes to construct stages, but it would be awesome if the stage was in the
shape of a championship belt, and for each title match that title was displayed
on the stage.
1ST MATCH: T.J. Perkins (c) vs THE Brian Kendrick
(Cruiserweight Title)
Perkins comes out first followed by Kendrick. We get formal
ring introductions. The match goes about 12 minutes, and there's a ton of high
spots and crazy moves from both guys, hopefully creating an amazing and
memorable match. Throughout the match, TJ targets Kendricks knee all throughout
to soften him up for the Kneebar. The story all throughout the match is that
Kendrick still believes like it's been before where this could be his last
chance for glory, his last chance to prove himself, so all throughout he keeps
getting ahead of himself as a desperate babyface. The match ends when Kendrick
does the backslide into the Pirates Hook, but can't hold it because of his
knee, and TJ rolls him over into the kneebar, and Kendrick screams in pain for
a while and then taps out. Especially with Kendrick's "this could be my
last chance character", he needs to be the type of face that just can't
seem to win the big one but fights and claws and eventually finally gets his
big win. It would tell a great story in this match.
WINNER and STILL Cruiserweight Champion: T.J. Perkins
As we get into our next match, Cesaro vs Sheamus, we get
highlights of the series so far.
2ND MATCH: Cesaro vs Sheamus (Match 7 in Best Of 7 Series)
I'll admit, these two have fought so many times lately I've
been getting really tired of watching them, but they've gotta pull out all the
stops here. I really like how they've booked this too, with Sheamus getting 3
wins first, and then that leaves Cesaro to get the win on a "4-0
streak", and he will look extremely strong and hopefully will get him over
even more. Sheamus is out first followed by Cesaro. The match goes 13 minutes
and hopefully is the best match of the series. Near the "end" of the
match, the fight spills to the outside, and Cesaro gets Sheamus onto the
English announce table. Cesaro is going for a Neutrilizer through the table,
but Sheamus escapes, and both men grab each other and go crashing through the
Spanish announce table. It ends up being a double count out. The crowd boos but
out comes Mick Foley. He says that the series isn't ending like this, and he's
restarting the match as No Holds Barred. The crowd pops and the bell rings
again. The two beat each other up with chairs and kendo sticks for a few
minutes, and the match ends when Sheamus and Cesaro are in opposite corners of
the ring and Sheamus runs at Cesaro with a chair but Cesaro hits a huge
springboard uppercut, sending the chair right into Sheamus's head, and then
gets Sheamus up for a Neutrilizer on the chair. Cesaro wins the series, and
celebrates with the fans.
WINNER: Cesaro
We get an ad for Tapout.
3RD MATCH: Charlotte (c) vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley (Women's
Championship)
We get a vignette of all the greatest women's champions in
history and then a video package for the match. Sasha comes out first, followed
by Charlotte and then Bayley, and we get formal ring introductions. This match
could be the show stealer. The match gets the slot to kick off the 2nd hour of
the show, and it goes about 15 minutes. All 3 women put on an incredible match
with lots of near falls. Throughout the match, Bayley and Sasha argue a ton and
break up each other's pins, and a turn is teased. The match ends when Sasha has
Charlotte locked in in the Bank Statement, and it looks like Charlotte is about
to tap but Bayley slides back into the ring after being on the outside for a
while and grabs Sasha and tosses her out of the ring. Bayley waits for
Charlotte to get up and hits a Bayley To Belly on her and the crowd pops hard
but Bayley turns around right into a chair shot to the face from Sasha. Sasha
turns on her friend, and in doing so just pins the stunned and injured Bayley
off the abrupt chair shot to become a 2 time Women's champion. Obviously, Sasha
would be heel now. This would be a huge swerve with Sasha winning and turning
on Bayley like this, and with WWE wanting to have women main event a PPV in the
future, what better way to do it than following this match where these 3 women
face off again in the MAIN EVENT of HIAC in the first ever Women's Hell In A
Cell match.
WINNER and NEW Raw Women's Champion: Sasha Banks
We get a backstage interview with Brian Kendrick. He says
he's disappointed in himself for losing tonight and got ahead of himself. He
says he won't stop until he becomes champ. T.J. walks up and they have words
and stare off as Perkins hold up his title. Kendrick vs Perkins in a title
rematch would be announced for the next day for Raw, in a 2/3 Falls match.
4TH MATCH: Rusev (c) vs Roman Reigns (US Title)
When I did Summerslam, I had the idea of having Samoa Joe
debut and cost Reigns the match, and then recently I had an idea for THIS match
that Reigns would win and Austin Aries would debut and attack Roman, but that
wouldn't really make much sense. I guess the mark in me just wants all these
NXT guys to debut already. Nonetheless, we get a video of all the great US
champs and the match goes about 10 minutes and Reigns wins clean with a spear,
after what happened at Summerslam, and with the fact that Rusev hadn't been on
raw at all to build up this feud anymore, I just don't care about it, but I
feel Reigns will win for sure, and it would definitely be the right decision.
Reigns as US Champ is intriguing. Roman is out first followed by Rusev. Reigns
wins clean with a Spear.
WINNER and NEW US Champion: Roman Reigns
We get an ad for No Mercy next month.
5TH MATCH: New Day vs The Club (Tag Team Championships
I'll be honest, I'm even less interested in this match than
Rusev-Reigns. The stuff at Summerslam with John Stewart costing the Club the
match just killed it for me. We get a video of the greatest Tag Champions, and
Club come out first followed by New Day. The match goes 9 minutes. Club need to
dethrone New Day if they want any credibility back. I won't even bother with
New Day breaking up here after they lose, as I had happen at Summerslam. It
just wouldn't make sense here, and if it would've happened it all it would've
been the best in the way I booked it in my Summerslam post. Club wins the
titles.
WINNERS and NEW Raw Tag Team Champions: The Club
We get an ad for the WWE network and all the new shows
coming to it, and then we get a backstage interview with new United States
champ Roman Reigns.
6TH MATCH: Chris Jericho vs Sami Zayn
Now THIS is a match I'm pretty damn excited about. Jericho's
current run is likely coming to an end pretty soon, and what better way to
leave than work with Sami Zayn, staring up his push again, too. The match gets
the spot to kick off the 3rd hour. The match goes 13 minutes, and it ends after
Jericho hits a Bulldog from the corner, and runs and springs off the ropes to
hit the Lionsault, but Zayn gets his knees up and Jericho smashes stomachs
first into the knees, and he staggers up in pain into the corner and Zayn
quickly runs at him and hits the Helluva Kick.
WINNER: Sami Zayn
We go to our kickoff panel and they give their thoughts on
the show so far.
7TH MATCH: Enzo and Cass vs The Shining Stars
As mentioned in the pre show, this match would be announced
earlier in the day. The Shining Stars are out first. To save time for the main
event and because other matches have all been pretty long, Enzo and Cass beat
The Stars in about a minute with the Rocket Launcher, kind of like how Alpha
squashed the Usos recently, and then they celebrate after the match.
WINNER: Enzo and Cass
8TH MATCH: Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens (Universal
Championship)
We get a video package before the match. Owens is out first,
followed by Seth. I think the buildup to this match and this feud has been
great, and I've been loving babyface Rollins so far. The match goes 17 1/2
minutes. Here are some spots in the match:
Owens goes for a Powerbomb on the apron, but Rollins turns
it around into a Hurricarana, sending Owens into the timekeepers area.
The match starts when Owens rolls out of the ring and grabs
his title and tries to escape through the crowd but Rollins chases him all
through the crowd and they come out near the stage pit and Rollins chases Owens
down the ramp back into the ring, and Rollins nails KO with a Superkick.
Lots of Frogsplashes and high flying moves from both guys
Owens lays Rollins out on the English announce table, and
then Owens goes to the top rope, and tries to hit an elbow drop but goes
crashing through the table after Rollins moves.
Near the end, Owens hits a Pedigree, because now HE has the
rights to the move, but Rollins kicks out at 2.99999999. Then, Owens hits a PUP
but Rollins gets his foot on the rope.
After 5 happens, Rollins hits his springboard knee off the
ropes, knocking Owens down. Then, Rollins looks toward the ropes, and rushes to
the top rope and hits a PHOENIX SPLASH which would be his "new
finisher". Owens kicks out at 2.9. Then, Rollins looks toward the other
corner this time. He goes and teases setting up the CURB STOMP. The crowd is
going crazy for the return of the move, and Seth runs to stomp Kevin's skull
into a mat, but in a spot similar to the end of Orton-Rollins at WM31, Owens
launches Rollins into the air and hits a PUP for the clean win, being a
complete dick heel by not letting Rollins deliver on the Curb Stomp. We go to
replays and then Owens is celebrating. He taunts Rollins and then goes to the
ramp, and then HHH comes down out of nowhere and holds up Kevin's hand. Then
HHH goes to the ring. He waits for Rollins to get up, and then hits a Pedigree
on him, further building to their Mania match. HHH gets the best of Rollins
again, and we go to replays and HHH's music plays and the PPV ends with HHH and
Owens celebrating on the stage and a battered and beaten Rollins laying in the
ring. After the PPV goes off the air, we get videos on Twitter of Rollins
cutting a short post match promo, saying he wants HHH, selling the beating.
WINNER and STILL Universal Champion: Kevin Owens
Of course, here is my card for Hell In A Cell next month:*
Sasha Banks (c) vs Bayley vs Charlotte (Hell In A Cell Match
For The Women's Title)
Kevin Owens (c) vs Cesaro (Hell In A Cell Match for the
Universal Title)
Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar (Street Fight; if Rollins loses
he is "fired")
Roman Reigns (c) vs Sami Zayn (US Title)
The Club vs Enzo and Cass vs New Day vs The Shining Stars
(Tag Team Titles)
T.J. Perkins vs Gran Metalik vs Cedric Alexander vs Noam Dar
(Cruiserweight Title)
Braun Strowman vs Luke Harper
Rusev vs Chris Jericho???
PRE SHOW: The Revolution vs Dana Brooke, Alicia Fox, and
Summer Rae
Some of those matches are probably confusing, so as far as
Cesaro vs Owens, Foley would make that match because Cesaro earned the title
shot after winning the best of 7 series. As far as Rollins vs Lesnar, after
HHH's second attack on Seth at the end of COC, of course Seth won't get HHH
until Mania, so until then HHH uses authority guys like Lesnar to try to get
rid of Rollins, and he will be fired and out of sight and out of mind if he
loses, and he makes it No Holds barred to let Lesnar do extra damage. Plus, the
two have history, with Rollins cashing in on Reigns and Lesnar at WM31, and the
match between the two at Battleground 2015. And with Zayn-Reigns, Foley gives Zayn
a title shot after the impressive win over Jericho.
Well, that's how I would book Clash Of Champions. Tell me
what you liked or didn't like, and tell me what you'd like to see happen in
this post. Enjoy the PPV tomorrow, everyone!
