[[ After the Glory intro ends we cut to a live shot of the fans in the jam-packed area in Salt Lake City. The excitement quickly grows as the sounds of AFI fill the arena loudly as "Miseria Cantare" hits and the fans remain on their feet as CM Punk comes walking out wearing his ring tights and a "Straight Edge" t-shirt. He enters the ring as a large "C-M PUNK!" chant fills the arena, overriding the music. He's handed a microphone, but soaks up the adoration. ]]

CM Punk: I only have one thing and one thing only to say tonight.

[[ He pauses. A soured look comes across his face. ]]

CM Punk: Randy Orton, tomorrow night in Kansas City.. It's going to be your last day on this planet!

[[ Crowd pop. ]]

CM Punk: Last week, you jumped me from behind. You attacked Ace Steel, a man who has nothing to do in this situation between you and I. You put your hands on, not just a woman, but my girlfriend. You went and you made this personal, Orton. That was your first mistake.

[[ Punk lowers the mic, rubbing his chin. You can tell last week is really eating away at Punk. ]]

CM Punk: Your second mistake came when you didn't fucking kill me!

[[ His voice suddenly becomes more stern. He stares right into the camera, like there's no one else around but him, and that camera is Randy Orton himself. ]]

CM Punk: If you're going to bloody a man's friend and mentor, put your hands on his girlfriend.. You better leave that man dead. YOU DIDN'T COME CLOSE, ORTON!

[[ Punk's getting more fired up and emotional as he goes. ]]

CM Punk: Tomorrow night, you make your third and final mistake.

[[ Pause. The camera zooms in closely on Punk. ]]

CM Punk: Showing up to the match thinking you're going to win.

[[ The camera zooms out. ]]

CM Punk: You screwed me over to win that ELITE title. You screwed me over last month at Canadian Collision. There's no screwing me over tomorrow. See, I talked to Jim Cornette earlier today when I got here. He agrees with me on the fact that you're a lowly piece of shit who needs a reality check.

[[ The crowd pops again as Punk continues rolling. ]]

CM Punk: He thinks you attacking me.. Pouring that alcohol down my throat, the one thing I have sworn to never put in my body.. Beating down Ace Steel and Maria.. He thinks it was all cowardly and it needs fixed. That's why he's broken his word of not putting hardcore gimmick matches onto LoC shows, and making tomorrow night CM PUNK VERSUS RANDY ORTON IN A DOG COLLAR MATCH!

[[ Punk becomes more and more intense as he goes. ]]

CM Punk: Cornette said after tomorrow, there'll never be another match like this in LoC unless the Championship Committee agrees to it. What started as a friendly series of matches has quickly escalated into the end of the road for you, Orton. With you on the other end of that chain, no disqualification, no countout.. I WILL GET MY REVENGE! I WILL BECOME THE LoC ELITE CHAMPION!

[[ Pause. ]]

CM Punk: As I tasted that alcohol that was poured in my mouth, I realized that you were willing to go to extremes I never expected from you. I wasn't prepared to go that route. It took me off guard completely.. You treated my straight edge lifestyle as a joke. IT'S NOT A JOKE! IT'S REAL! IT'S WHO I AM!

[[ He's fuming angry. The staredown he gives the camera is cold. ]]

CM Punk: Now, Orton, you've woken a monster inside of me that has never seen the light of day. Tomorrow night, that beast inside me makes you regret the day you were born.. I will make you wish you had never crossed that line. I am the next ELITE champion. I am straight-edge, no matter what you try to do to me.. and I am..

[[ He crosses his arms, showing his X's on his wrist-tape. ]]

CM Punk: Better... than.. YOU!

[[ He drops the mic and leaves the ring, a determined and focused man. The fans pop as we go to commercial. ]]

Match One: Singles Match
Shawn Michaels vs. Petey Williams

Shawn Michaels came into this match ready to get his hands on Bret Hart.  Petey Williams is looking to gain some momentum going into the battle royal tomorrow night. The match starts off with Petey trying to slow things down and wear HBK down with some submission techniques. Michaels powers out, using his size advantage on Petey to control the match. It was downhill for Petey right after he went for the Sharpshooter. Michaels blocked it, kipped up, clothesline! Petey blocks a punch, kick to the gut.. He's going for the Canadian Destroyer, BACKDROP BY HBK! He's warming up the band as Petey gets to his feet.. SWEET CHIN MUSIC! That's all she wrote for Petey Williams as HBK has picked up a big win going into Pride tomorrow night!

Winner: Shawn Michaels via Pinfall  (16:26)

[[ Backstage we see the door to the Kings of Wrestling's locker room open. Chris Hero looks as Claudio comes in looking very disappointed. Claudio just begins running his hands through his hair. ]]

Chris Hero: What's wrong?

Claudio Castagnoli: Nothing.

Chris Hero: Something's wrong. I can't tell. What happened?

[[ Hero raises an eyebrow, noticing Claudio doesn't have his LoC Tag title they stole weeks ago. ]]

Chris Hero: Your belt.. Where is it?

Claudio Castagnoli: What belt?

[[ Claudio shrugs, playing dumb. Hero gets out of his chair and into his partner's face. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: What are you talking about?

Chris Hero: You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about! Those titles we stole from the New Hart Foundation! I have mine in my bag.. Where.. is.. yours?

[[ Claudio lets out of a groan. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: I lost it.

Chris Hero: WHAT?! HOW!?

Claudio Castagnoli: Crazy story it is.. See, I walk to get cold beverage, they sold out of said beverage I want. I storm off after telling them their babies will be born without livers, and I see the James Gang smoking the marijuana. I stop by them, and I wave and say "HEY!"

[[ He waves his hand. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: And then I show the my Tag title, and I mock them! I tell them.. "You will never get 'dis! You will never get 'dis!"

[[ Claudio shakes his head, not knowing what happened next. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: And well.. Next thing leads to next thing... I get knocked on floor, boots on Gang crush my ribs and spine.

Chris Hero: ...

Claudio Castagnoli: No need to say, but.. they.. they got 'dis!

[[ Another shrug. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: Terrible success!

[[ Hero is fuming mad. ]]

Chris Hero: Claudio.. You ignorant slut.

[[ Fade. ]]

Match Two: Six-Man Tag
Lance Storm, Harry Smith, and Teddy Hart  vs. America's Most Wanted and Val Venis

Right off the bat things didn't look good for America's Most Wanted, as they have the struggling Val Venis as their partner in this six-man tag team match. Chris Harris and Lance Storm start, both men exchange moves left and right for the longest, neither able to get a clear advantage. Finally, as the match progresses, America's Most Wanted's experience as a team comes into play, allowing them to hit several tag team moves. The referee gets knocked out, as does James Storm. Teddy Hart gets a steel chair and brings it into the ring as Val Venis plants Storm with the Blue Mountain Bomb. Teddy raises the chair back, fixing to clock Chris Harris with it, VENIS TAKES THE CHAIR AWAY.. THEN HITS CHRIS HARRIS HIMSELF! WHAT THE HELL! MONEY SHOT ON CHRIS HARRIS BY VAL VENIS!! Harry Smith revives the referee as Teddy Hart applies the Sharpshooter! The referee calls for the bell as Chris Harris is unconscious! Val Venis has his arms raised by Lance Storm and company! Has he joined the New Hart Foundation?

Winner: The New Hart Foundation via Submission (11:18)

[[ After that shocking conclusion of the six-man tag, we go backstage with Michael Cole and the Trouble Franchise Kings, Steve Corino and Shane Douglas. Corino looks confident going into his World title match tonight. ]]

Michael Cole: Steve Corino, tonight, you face the undefeated, reigning LoC World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan Danielson for his title. If you win, then you will face Kurt Angle tomorrow night in Kansas City at Pride.

Shane Douglas: That's not gonna' happen!

[[ Corino turns to Douglas, stunned his partner just said that. ]]

Steve Corino: What do you mean it's not going to happen? Why can't I beat Bryan Danielson?

Shane Douglas: Because he's really fuckin' good.

Steve Corino: And what's wrong with me?

[[ Douglas just stares blankly at Corino. ]]

Shane Douglas: You're really fuckin' fat.

Steve Corino: Look at you! When's the last time you've seen a gym?

Shane Douglas: When I walked in Cornette's office and said "are you fuckin' stupid?! Corino's gonna' die tonight!"

Steve Corino: No, not a JIM.. A G-Y-M.. One you workout in.

Shane Douglas: Oh, never.

[[ Corino turns to Cole. ]]

Steve Corino: Look Cole, plain and simple, tonight, the Trouble King's gonna' cause a whole lot of trouble for the powers that be that want to see Bryan Danielson take on Kurt Angle for the LoC title. I'm gonna' throw a wrench in those plans tonight! I've won World titles all over the world. ECW, NWA, AWA.. Some of the most prestigious organizations in the world. So I might as well add a fourth World title to my resume tonight against Bryan Danielson!

Shane Douglas: Oh, please! You'll be in the same fuckin' battle royal I'm gonna' be in tomorrow night! And when you are, Steve Corino, I'M GONNA' ELIMINATE YOU, JACK! HAHAHA!

[[ Douglas frantically starts stroking his goatee as Corino storms off the interview set. ]]

Match Three: LoC Elite Title
Randy Orton vs. Matt Hardy

Randy Orton overlooked Matt Hardy in the beginning, expecting an easy title defense leading up to tomorrow's match with CM Punk. Orton got a wake-up call very early in the match that he was in for a dogfight to keep his title. Matt Hardy got several near falls on Orton before he flipped the switch and went into attack mode. Orton comes back like a crazy man, popping Hardy in the nose, busting it open. Orton just unleashes his offense on Hardy, who gets no other offense in the rest of the match after attempting a Twist of Fate. Hardy goes for the Twist of Fate, it's blocked, he's spun around, RKO! Orton picks Hardy up, ANOTHER RKO! He covers, one, two, three! Randy Orton added insult to injury in retaining the Elite title!

Winner: Randy Orton via Pinfall (20:09)
STILL LoC ELITE Champion

[[ We see Shawn Michaels walking out of Jim Cornette's office with a big smile on his face. He makes his way out of the hallway, exiting the arena. He makes it to his car before he's jumped by the New Hart Foundation! The group lay the boots down on Shawn Michaels before Petey picks him up, CANADIAN DESTROYER ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR! ]]

Teddy Hart: Yo, Shawn Michaels, Uncle Bret wanted us to send you a message!

[[ Blood starts pouring out of HBK's head as Harry Smith grabs Michaels by the hair. ]]

Teddy Hart: He says just because Cornette found that loop-hole in that contract to where he has to show up next week.. It doesn't mean that you're gonna' be getting off easy! This man still is the best there is!

[[ He slaps Shawn Michaels. ]]

Teddy Hart: The best there was!

[[ Petey punches Michaels. ]]

Teddy Hart: And the best there ever will be!

Lance Storm: This is something ten years in the making, Shawn! Tomorrow night WILL belong to the New Hart Foundation!

Petey Williams: That's right! Teddy and Harry will get their Tag titles back!

[[ Nods from Harry and Teddy. ]]

Petey Williams: I'm gonna' win the 20-man battle royal to get a title shot!

Lance Storm: And I'm going to make that joke Colt Cabana the one that gets embarrassed in front of people as I take his Pure title.

Harry Smith: Not to mention Uncle Bret righting a wrong that happened ten years ago!

Petey Williams: Especially since you're not going to make it to PRIDE!

Val Venis: We.. will END YOU!

[[ The New Hart Foundation is going to do whatever they can to make it easier on Bret Hart tomorrow night at Pride! They're going to try to cripple Shawn Michaels so he can't even make it to the match! The beating on Shawn Michaels continues until COLT CABANA and AMERICA'S MOST WANTED hits the scene! The four Canadians battle the three guys coming to help Michaels., and the numbers game takes advantage. That is, until Shawn Michaels springs up and clotheslines Harry Smith to even things out! The battle ensues as finally LoC officials and road agents hit the scene to finally break this brawl up! Tensions are high on all parts as we head into Pride! Who knows what will happen tomorrow night! ]]

Match Four: Tag Team Match
Edge and Christian vs. CM Punk and Colt Cabana

This was probably the best match of the night. The match went back and forth until the very end. Four men at the top of their respected games with everything to gain momentum wise heading into tomorrow night went all out. Edge and Christian busted out several of their classic double team maneuvers, and Colt and Punk showed why they were a force in RoH. Colt's comedy antics pissed Edge off, who released his anger on Colt. Lance Storm runs down to the ring, distracting Colt after he fights Edge off and Punk downs Christian, knocking him to the outside. Randy Orton slides into the ring, RKO ON PUNK! He slides out and raises his arms in the "Hey!" pose. JOHN CENA enters the ring, F-U on EDGE! F-U ON CHRISTIAN! F-U ON ORTON FOR GOOD MEASURE! Storm slides in and starts pounding on Cena and we have an all out-brawl going on in the ring! The referee has no choice but to throw the match out as order is trying to be restored! Tensions are at an all time high for tomorrow night!

Winner: No Contest via Interference (27:41)

[[ The camera switches scenes as we cut to backstage. Maria is smiling, holding a microphone as AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels comes into the picture. Styles is in jeans and a t-shirt, and Daniels has gone the more stylish route with the dress shirt and pants. ]]

Maria: Hiya guys! Tonight, I'm standing here with AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels! Christopher Daniels, I'm going to start with you..

[[ A big pause as she gets the courage to ask. ]]

Maria: If you're the Fallen Angel.. Why don't you just get up?

Christopher Daniels: ..It's just the name of my gimmick.

Maria: Okay.

[[ Maria looks to the camera, rolling her eyes. ]]

Maria: Anyway, you two are among the twenty in the battle royal next week, but you're partners.. Will you two stop being friends tomorrow?

AJ Styles: I doubt it, Maria. See, Chris and I have been through a lot of stuff the past couple of years. Here in LoC, it's be no different for the past three months.

Christopher Daniels: Nope.

AJ Styles: The twenty-man rumble's a big deal. Whoever wins it gets a shot at Bryan Danielson or Kurt Angle whenever they want it. It's a great opportunity, and whoever wins it will definitely deserve it.

[[ Daniels nods. ]]

Christopher Daniels: Maria, twenty men enter the ring tomorrow night, but only one can walk away as the winner. AJ and I have already talked, and we agreed, if it came down to it, we have to do what's best for ourselves.

Bryan Danielson: Blah, blah, blah.

[[ The LoC Champion makes his presence known as he walks in the picture followed by Ric Flair right behind him.. Danielson has a smug look on his face as he looks at Daniels and Styles. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Who cares about some battle royal? Seriously, it's nothing but twenty guys who weren't good enough to get a title match or a REAL pay-per-view match! Me, I am the LoC World Champion. I will remain champion past tonight, when I go to the ring and beat Steve Corino.. I will remain champion tomorrow night, as I cripple Kurt Angle in an iron man match.. And whoever wins this precious battle royal, decides to grow a pair and challenge me..

[[ He points to the belt around his waist. ]]

Bryan Danielson: I will still be champion then. Especially if either of you win it.

AJ Styles: We'll see about that.

Bryan Danielson: Whatever. Fuck you, pricks! I am the best.. wrestler.. in the world! I don't have time to sit here and bicker with some guy who does flips, and some guy with a stupid little goatee.

[[ He smiles a confident smile. ]]

Bryan Danielson: I have a WORLD TITLE to go defend.. Good luck to you two next week. If one of you win, don't bother cashing in that title shot. It won't be worth it.

Ric Flair: WOOOO!

[[ They walk to the ring, leaving Styles and Daniels there, fuming mad. We go to the ring as Danielson defends his title! Can Steve Corino pull off the upset? ]]

Match Five: LoC World Heavyweight Title
Glory Main Event
Bryan Danielson vs. Steve Corino

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is your Glory main event. It is scheduled for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit, and it is for the League of Champions World Heavyweight title.

[[ Crowd pop. Danielson removes his title belt and places it on his shoulder. ]]

Jeremy Borash: Introducing first, the man to my right. He is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and he weighs in at two-hundred forty-two pounds.. He is a former NWA, AWA, and ECW World Heavyweight Champion.. He is the "King of Old School," the "Trouble King-"

[[ Corino leans in Borash's ear and whispers something. Borash's eyes go wide as he shakes his head 'no.' Corino sternly stares at Borash and says "DO IT!" ]]

Jeremy Borash: ..And the ...ahem, fucking God of professional wrestling.. STEVE CORINO!

[[ Streamers fly into the ring as Corino salutes the fans. ]]

Jeremy Borash: His opponent to my left.. He is the reigning and defending League of Champions World Heavyweight Champion.. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the undefeated--

[[ Danielson leans into Borash's ear and whispers something. He then grabs Borash by the shirt and yells "YOU'D BETTER SAY IT!" ]]

Jeremy Borash: Best wrestler in the world.. the "American Dragon" BRYAN DANIELSON!

The bell rings and Danielson goes to work. Steve Corino gave it his best shot, but the champion is too focused and that good. Corino tries softening the champion up with a series of stiff forearms, which are immediately returned back by Danielson. A big lariat by the challenger sends Danielson down. A series of arm drags by Corino sends Danielson to the outside to gather himself. Danielson comes back in and starts chopping away on Corino's chest. A big headbutt sends Corino against the ropes, ROARING ELBOW BY DANIELSON! Steve Corino is OUT like a light! The referee checks on Corino as Danielson rushes over to try to apply the Cattle Mutilation, but before he can hook the arms, the referee calls for the bell! Bryan Danielson has knocked Steve Corino out to retain his LoC World title in the shortest match of the night!

Winner: Bryan Danielson via Knockout (13:42)
STILL LoC World Heavyweight Champion

[[ Danielson and Flair celebrate in the ring as the fans boo big time for the victory. Bryan Danielson looks to be in good shape as he prepares himself for the fight of his life tomorrow night against Kurt Angle in the iron man match. Kurt Angle comes out on the ramp and stares Danielson down. Danielson raises his LoC World title high in the air over his head and gives Kurt Angle the middle finger. Tomorrow night at Pride's going to be off the charts! ]]
