[[ The Glory intro airs, and immediately after it ends, we cut right to the office of James E. Cornette. He's seated at his desk with his hands interlocked. He sports a smile, and then begins addressing the LoC audience. ]]

James E. Cornette: Hello, LoC fans, and welcome to Glory!

[[ Crowd pop. ]]

James E. Cornette: Tonight's a very important tonight for not only this company's history, but for the current state of the business as a whole. On July 1, as mentioned on SGDubya' Shock, the three companies currently engaged in a workin' relationship: League O'Champions, Japanese All Pro Wrestlin', and Solid Gold Wrestlin', will host a joint pay-per-view entitled Wrestlebrawl.

[[ He continues without much of a break. ]]

James E. Cornette: On LoC's side of the show, you'll see the ELITE title bein' defended against a challenger to be named sometime this month.

[[ Crowd pop. ]]

James E. Cornette: You'll also see for the main event, Shawn Michaels and a partner of his choice takin' on Bryan Danielson and a partner of his choice.

[[ Big, big pop for that main event quality match. Cornette looks very proud of himself. ]]

James E. Cornette: But really, most importantly, will be the match to determine the first-ever World Women's Champion. That's right, after Eric Bischoff tried makin' his own Women's Champion after sayin' he possessed the best crop of women's wrestlers in the world, Trish Startus and the LoC women weren't gonna' take it lyin' down and I don't blame 'em! So an agreement has been reached.

[[ Cornette pushes his glasses back up on his nose. ]]

James E. Cornette: Startin' next week on Glory, an eight-women tournament will be held to determine who will be the representative from our company in the Women's title match at Wrestlebrawl. The participants will include Trish Stratus, Melina, Nattie Neidhart, Gail Kim, Maria, So Cal Val, Traci Brooks, and MsChif. The finals of the tournament will be held on the June 30 edition of Glory in Dallas, Texas.

[[ Pause. ]]

James E. Cornette: This is a very excitin' time for all of us here in League O'Champions. The Final Showdown on June 23 will be an awesome show, but Wrestlebrawl will definitely be the biggest event in wrestlin' history! So it's with great honor, that I, Jim Cornette, toss it to the ring, as for the first time, the women of LoC get to take the stage on primetime television! Enjoy the show!

[[ We go to the ring. ]]

Match One: Women's Tag Match
Trish Stratus and Melina vs. Gail Kim and MsChif

The first women's match in League of Champions history did not disappoint whatsoever. It was an eventful match from the second the bell rang to start the match, til the moment the final bell rang to signal the end of the match. Melina and Gail Kim started, and it was a display of some great women's wrestling. The contest was very evenly displayed for the better part of the match until Trish got the one, two, three on MsChif after hitting her with the Chick Kick as Melina downed Gail Kim. Melina and Trish celebrate, gaining momentum going into the women's tournament next week.

Winner: Trish Stratus and Melina via Pinfall  (9:49)

May 26, 2007 - After Glory Went Off The Air

[[ In this previous recorded footage from last Saturday night, we see Lance Storm and Colt Cabana walking down the street, trying to put their grudge behind them. ]]

Colt Cabana: Man, what a night, huh Lance?

Lance Storm: I suppose.

Colt Cabana: All we got to do now to make this the best night ever is to find us some lady friends. Am I right? Am I right?

[[ No reply. ]]

Colt Cabana: Am I right?

Lance Storm: I have a wife.

Colt Cabana: BFD, that ring isn't cloggin' up any holes.

Lance Storm: ...BFD?

Colt Cabana: Big freakin' deal.

[[ Colt approaches two women awaiting a taxi on the side of the road. Storm stands a few feet away, letting Colt do all the talking. They keep turning, looking at Lance, and then laughing. Colt brings the two back to where Lance is. ]]

Colt Cabana: Lance, meet Stacy and Madison.

Lance Storm: Hello.

[[ They shake hands. The girls look sad. ]]

Stacy: I'm sorry to hear about the cancer you had.

Lance Storm: Excuse me?

Madison: Yeah, your friend told us about you having testicular cancer, and losing both of your testicles. It's really sad.

Stacy: Yeah, sad.

[[ Colt looks to the camera and gives a smirk. ]]

Stacy: He also told us you were fixing to get a transplant.

Lance Storm: That so?

Stacy: Yeah, something called a personality transplant.. Something about you having the personality of a dish rag.

[[ Lance Storm snaps and shoves Colt Cabana to the ground. The girls run off as Petey Williams and Val Venis come absolutely out of no where and hit the scene and join in on the mugging of Colt Cabana. After a series of stomps and kicks, they pick Colt up and throw him in a trash can sitting nearby. Storm stands over the trash can, looking down. ]]

Lance Storm: Not so funny being the butt of the joke, is it Colt?

[[ Storm looks disgusted. ]]

Lance Storm: I tried to be nice. I tried to make this nothing more than a friendly rivalry among competitors.. But you, you're the one who made this what it is. Your not taking serious this business, the Pure title you once held.. It just makes me SICK!

Val Venis: Very sick.

Lance Storm: You say the better man won, tried making amends.. And now tonight is what you had planned all along? To humiliate me AGAIN? Colt, looks like tonight, Lance Storm will get the last laugh afterall.

[[ Pause. ]]

Lance Storm: You in the trash can is ironic.. Because your personality, wrestling skills, and you as a person.. Nothing but GARBAGE!

[[ Lance Storm, Petey Williams, and Val Venis get in a nearby car and drive off into the night, leaving Colt beaten in the trash can. Payback's going to be hell for Lance Storm and the New Hart Foundation. ]]

[[ We're in the ring, getting ready for our next match to begin. Petey Williams and Steve Corino are waiting for the bell to ring to begin this competitive contest. Before the bell gets to ring, a man slides in the ring from the crowd. RODERICK STRONG! RODERICK STRONG IN IN LEAGUE OF CHAMPIONS FRESH FROM SOLID GOLD! Petey and Corino don't know what's going on as Roderick stands in the middle of them. He grabs a microphone, slaps it, making a loud thud that echoes throughout the arena. Roderick looks around, bewildered by the crowd response and the situation. ]]

Roderick Strong: Um, I'm sorry I interrupted you guys' match.

[[ Roderick shrugs, not sure what to say. ]]

Roderick Strong: But, I figured now was a better time to.. Ya' know.. Debut than any. I mean, may as well make my presence known now before everyone goes and gets popcorn during this match.

[[ Petey and Corino look pissed. Roderick realizes what he said and tries to quickly recover. ]]

Roderick Strong: I'm sorry I said that.

[[ He continues. ]]

Roderick Strong: But, I'm here in LoC now. SGW, man.. It really pissed me off, ya' know? I hate so much the things it chose to be while I was there. I don't know why it was the way it was.

[[ He shakes his head. ]]

Roderick Strong: None of that matters now, though.. 'Cause, like, I'm here now. And.. I.. Ya' know.. I wanna' wrestle tonight here in Phoenix and stuff... Of course, if you two don't mind and all.

[[ Petey and Corino look at one another, not really sure what to make of all of this. ]]

Roderick Strong: Good.

[[ RODERICK HOISTS PETEY ON HIS SHOULDERS, DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER! HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER ON STEVE CORINO! The referee, Jack Doan, rings the bell, evidently making this match into a triple threat match! ]]

Match Two: Singles Match
Roderick Strong  vs. Steve Corino vs. Petey Williams

Roderick Strong dominates this match all the way through. Steve Corino's chest is busted open, and blood trickles down thanks to the super stiff chops from Roderick Strong. Strong is a man unlike any other seen in League of Champions besides Bryan Danielson in terms of sheer brutality. Petey gains some offense, and sends Strong reeling out of the ring. Petey goes to work on Corino, setting him up for the Canadian Destroyer. As he goes to flip, Corino blocks it and sends Petey flying over his back, being caught in the air by Roderick Strong, and then given a backbreaker on his way down! Petey rolls out of the ring, leaving Corino to suffer the Gibson Driver for the one, two, three, giving Roderick Strong a win in his LoC debut!

Winner: Roderick Strong via Pinfall (9:25)

[[ Backstage we see Davey Richards in the locker room area lacing up his boots for his match tonight. Shawn Michaels walks up to him, taking his attention away from his boots and on him. Richards looks confused as to why HBK is standing in front of him. ]]

Shawn Michaels: Hey, kid.

Davey Richards: What's up?

Shawn Michaels: Nothin'.. Just heard you got yourself a match with Bryan Danielson tonight.

Davey Richards: That's right. I do. I'm gonna' give it my all out there. Got to impress everyone in my debut in the big leagues.

[[ Michaels smirks. ]]

Shawn Michaels: That's the spirit. Look, if you don't mind, I want to accompany you to the ring tonight. Ya' know, make sure Danielson doesn't try to take privileges with ya' in the ring and all tryin' to send a message.

[[ Davey nods. ]]

Davey Richards: Oh, totally. That'd be great, man.

Shawn Michaels: Great. I'll let ya' get ready and I'll come check on you later.

[[ Michaels and Richards shake hands as HBK walks out of the locker room. Outside in the hallway, we see Terry Funk, Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, and Ricky Steamboat just entering the building. Shawn walks over to them, getting a warm response as he shakes hands with the legends. ]]

Dusty Rhodes: How are ya', Shawn?

Shawn Michaels: Great, great.. How about you guys, doing good?

Terry Funk: Look at 'em.. Kissing asses to persuade us to let 'em have his precious little cage match.

[[ Steamboat steps in before things get ugly. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Terry, cool it. Shawn, it's great to see you.

Shawn Michaels: Thanks. So what brings you guys here tonight?

Arn Anderson: We're just here to observe Glory tonight. Kind of getting a feel on how to vote on the 16th about the stipulation.

Shawn Michaels: Sounds good. Maybe you guys will make the right decision.. I'm a man fightin' my own battles. I don't need someone else to do my work.

Arn Anderson: You never know about us old timers.

[[ Michaels laughs and shakes Arn's hand as they begin to walk away. ]]

Shawn Michaels: You guys enjoy the show.

[[ The camera pans from Michaels to commotion down the hallway. We see LoC road agents and medical officials checking on two fallen wrestlers. The camera gets closer and it's revealed to be AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels laid out on the ground. A pool of blood surrounds AJ Styles' head. Edge and Christian must've attacked them! Those cowards! ]]

[[ Fade. ]]

Match Three: Singles Match
Kurt Angle vs. Harry Smith

Kurt Angle's experience helped him to have his way with the son of Davey Boy Smith. Harry fought back, though, stunning the former World Champion with a series of power moves, turning the tide in the match completely. Angle hits five German Suplexes in a row on Smith, leaving him down and out on the canvass. Angle drops the straps on his tights, signaling the end of this match. He slaps on the Angle Lock, and Harry Smith is doing everything he can to try to get to the ropes or find another way out of the hold. Angle screams "TAP! TAP! TAP!" at him, trying to get this battle over with. Teddy Hart comes sliding into the ring with a steel chair, and clocks Angle in the back of the head! The referee calls for the bell, giving Angle the DQ win. Harry Smith and Teddy Hart continue the beat down on Angle, leaving him laid out on the mat as the fans boo the Tag Champs.

Winner: Kurt Angle via Disqualification (26:42)

[[ After the referees finally clear the ring of the mayhem inside of it, we cut to the interview area as Michael Cole is standing by with CM Punk, who is still showing the effects of his dog collar match two weeks ago. The ELITE title rests on his left shoulder, and a large bandage covers the better part of Punk's forehead. ]]

Michael Cole: CM Punk, two weeks ago at PRIDE, you were in a vicious dog collar match against nemesis Randy Orton. It was the second of three matches, which each of you have won one a piece. You won the ELITE title in the last match, but it was at a very steep cost.

[[ Punk nods. ]]

Michael Cole: How does it feel coming down to the finale of you and Orton's three match series, going in as ELITE Champion?

CM Punk: It hurts. A lot.

[[ Pause. ]]

CM Punk: But it's a good hurt. It's a pain that lets you know you're making progress. Two weeks ago, I righted a wrong that was a long time coming. I gave Randy Orton a dose of his own medicine, and a brush with death. I hope as Randy Orton saw his life pass before his eyes as he hung over the top rope, being choked by the chain.. That everything he did to me and my friends on the road to PRIDE..

[[ He looks at Cole. ]]

CM Punk: ..Was worth it.

[[ Punk adjusts the belt on his shoulder. ]]

CM Punk: Thanks to us, violent stipulations are banned from this company. The sad thing is, we're not even done yet. Two rounds are down, one's left to go. The Final Countdown, June 23, that'll be all she wrote on this feud. One last time for all times.. But that's in 21 days. Tonight, I fight Jay Lethal, one of Orton's running buddies.

[[ He turns back to the camera. ]]

CM Punk: People say I shouldn't even be walking, let alone walking into a wrestling ring tonight. I tell them they know nothing. Wrestling is my only medicine. Wrestling is what I live for. I thrive off competition, and it's my only true addiction in life. There was no way I was missing two shows in a row. Jay Lethal, you'd better be ready for what's coming up next.

[[ Pause. ]]

CM Punk: I'm not one-hundred percent... But me at any shape is always going to be able to get the job done, Jay Lethal. Because I'm drug free, alcohol free.. I'm straight edge.. And that means that I am..

[[ He flashes the "X" with his arms. ]]

CM Punk: Better than you!

[[ Punk stands there for a few more seconds, staring into the camera, and then walks off to the curtain. ]]

Match Four: LoC ELITE Title
CM Punk vs. Jay Lethal

CM Punk struggled early in the match, showing that he's not fully healed from two weeks ago. The hungry Jay Lethal and his unorthodox offense dominated the better part of the match, getting several near falls on the champion. The will of the champion stays strong, as he continues to battle back against Lethal, sending the challenger reeling back. Lethal dives off the top rope and hits a double axe handle on Punk. Lethal quickly jumps back on the top rope, he poses to the fans.. ELBOW DROP! One, two, NO! Punk kicked out. Lethal argues with the referee about the count as Randy Orton slides into the ring, looking as rough as CM Punk does. Punk turns around, RKO-No, Punk blocks it and sends Orton running into Jay Lethal! Orton falls out of the ring, STO on Lethal! ANACONDA VICE! Lethal quickly taps, giving CM Punk his first title defense as Randy Orton looks pissed on the outside!

Winner: CM Punk via Submission (20:30)
STILL LoC ELITE Champion

[[ As CM Punk celebrates, we cut to the locker room of Sports Entertainment Xtreme. Russo and company are pissed that Jay Lethal just lost to CM Punk. Maria looks happy as she's in no man's land for an interview. She sticks the microphone in Russo's face. ]]

Maria: Vince Russo, Jay Lethal just got beat! How does that make you feel?!

Vince Russo: What 'da hell are you doin' in here? Did our not almost killin' Ace Steel, pourin' Jack down ya' boy's throat, and scarin' you not make you wanna' stay away from us?

[[ Maria thinks about it. ]]

Maria: I kicked you in the crotch.

Vince Russo: ... I know.

[[ Edge and Christian enter the picture with Trish, cornering Maria. ]]

Edge: Maria.

Maria: The Edge.

[[ She turns to Christian. ]]

Maria: Nicholas Cage.

[[ She smiles at Trish. ]]

Maria: Slut.

Trish Stratus: WHAT did you say?

Maria: You're going down in the tournament!

Trish Stratus: Oh, so let me get this right.. YOU'RE going to win?

[[ She frantically nods, giggling. ]]

Maria: I'm gonna' be the champion! Yay! It's gonna' be bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

[[ Trish pushes her against the wall. ]]

Trish Stratus: Maria.. If you win the Women's title..

[[ Trish scratches her head. ]]

Trish Stratus: I'd.. I'd probably jump off a bridge. I mean, honestly just dive off a bridge with a cement block tied to both of my ankles so that I'd not be able to survive.

Maria: Cool~!

[[ Maria turns to Edge and Christian. ]]

Maria: Why did you two attack Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles?

Christian Cage: Say what?

Maria: Yeah, you two beat them up and make them fall down and go boom earlier tonight! Why? You already beat them once.

Christian Cage: We didn't jump them.

Edge: Nope.

Maria: LIARS!

Edge: Seriously, I've only beaten up one thing tonight.

[[ Edge turns to Trish, licking his lips. ]]

Christian Cage: Yeah, Maria!

[[ Edge turns to Maria, giving her a seductive look. ]]

Edge: Play your cards right, Maria, you can be next.

Maria: You're not Goldberg!

[[ We go to the ring as Maria giggles and walks out of the locker room. Edge and Christian say they didn't attack Styles and Daniels, but you know Styles and Daniels are going to be looking for revenge next week on Glory! The main event is next! ]]

Match Five: Non-Title Match
Glory Main Event
Bryan Danielson vs. Davey Richards

Davey Richards and Bryan Danielson have had some battles in the past. Davey Richards is looking to become a permanent fixture on the LoC main roster. Shawn Michaels is accompanying Richards to ringside to keep an eye on Danielson and Ric Flair. The match starts and Danielson lays in some stiff chops on Richards, knocking him down with an European Uppercut. Danielson paintbrushes the back of Richards' head, trying to get him. The match continues with Danielson in control, comfortably. Danielson is getting real cocky, overlooking his opponent. This comes back and bites him as Richards mounts an incredible return, getting a near fall with a back-cracker! Stiff forearms from Richards has Danielson's nose busted open. Double underhook piledriver! The DR Driver only gets a two count! Richards lifts Danielson on his shoulders, military press now.. He's going for Go 2 Sleep 2.0, Flair on the apron! He drops Danielson and goes for Flair, who drops off the apron before Richards can get him. Michaels clocks Flair! Richards turns around to go back to Danielson, SUPER KICK! One, two, three! After Shawn Michaels stole Danielson's move last week, he steals Michaels' Sweet Chin Music to finish off the man HBK accompanied to the ring!

Winner: Bryan Danielson via Pinfall (24:17)

[[ After the match, Bryan Danielson gets a microphone as Davey Richards goes to the back. Flair slides in the ring and celebrates the win with his protégé. Shawn Michaels stands outside, awaiting to see what Bryan Danielson has to say this time. The fans aren't interested, as they throw slurs Danielson's way before he can even start talking. ]]

Bryan Danielson: You know, something you said earlier really struck a nerve with me.

[[ He walks around the ring, making a circle. ]]

Bryan Danielson: You said earlier tonight that you did things on your own.. That you fought your own wars and didn't need anyone. Now, it's obvious that was a shot at me since I'm being managed by Ric Flair.

[[ "WOOOO's!!" fill the arena. Flair slaps Danielson on the back and sports a big grin. ]]

Bryan Danielson: I'm the type of man who loves to prove people wrong. I love making people eat their words. Now, you think I have to rely on people to get ahead, that I'm truly not the best.. wrestler.. in the world... and that really makes me mad, Shawn.

[[ Danielson leans over the top rope and points to himself right in front of Michaels. ]]

Bryan Danielson: One, I AM the BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD!

[[ He holds up two fingers. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Secondly.. I don't need ANYBODY to maintain this World title.. And if you need proof..

[[ ROARING ELBOW ON RIC FLAIR! WHAT THE HELL? Shawn Michaels and everyone else in the arena is stunned than Bryan Danielson has started unleashing forearms and stomps on his fallen mentor, Ric Flair. The beating continues with Bryan Danielson locking his leg around one of Flair's arms and delivering a series of stiff elbows right in Flair's head, just like he did on the very first Glory! Flair's face is covered in blood. Danielson stands up and grabs his LoC World title. He holds the belt in his left hand and raises his right hand, giving everyone the middle finger. Danielson spits on Flair and exits the ring as HBK slides in. Danielson backs up the ramp screaming "I DON'T NEED ANYBODY! BEST.. WRESTLER.. IN THE WORLD!" Danielson raises his arms in the air as he gets on top of the ramp, drawing huge amounts of heat from the fans as the show comes to an end. ]]

Fade out.
