We are in Birmingham, Alabama and your announcers are John ‘Best for Business’ Layfield and Michael ‘Hell in an Announce Table’ Cole.
Michael Cole is in the ring and he welcomes his guest. He is the Game, the King of Kings, and the COO of WWE. He is talking about Triple H.
Hunter makes his way to the ring for a sit down interview with Michael. Hunter welcomes everyone to Smackdown. Michael thanks Hunter for appearing since he is probably busy with Hell in a Cell on Sunday.
Michael mentions Big Show and what he did on Raw. Hunter says that he hopes Show is happy because his actions cost six people their jobs. Two people from IT, three from production, and the woman who set up the satellite feed. Stephanie fired all of them.
Hunter says that Big Show has done what all heroes do when their backs are against the wall, he files a lawsuit. Hunter says that he has been advised by his lawyers not to talk about Big Show. Big Show is fired and will remain fired. Since Big Show is no longer part of the WWE Universe, he is now irrelevant. Hunter says that he is focused on Hell in a Cell.
Michael asks Hunter if he is worried that Big Show will appear in Miami and wreck the show. What if he appears tonight?
Hunter says that he cannot talk about it. He says that Michael wants to ask the hard hitting questions, but don’t ask something that he cannot talk about.
Michael asks Hunter if he can talk about the World Title Match between Alberto Del Rio and John Cena.
Hunter say that he cannot wait for the return of John Cena. Hunter says that he knows what it is like to come back from that devastating an injury. He is looking forward to the World Champion defend his title against John Cena. He says that it will be epic.
Michaels wants t ask about the WWE Title. The title has been held in abeyance for six months. In the Hell in a Cell structure, Daniel Bryan will face Randy Orton for the vacated title. The WWE Universe chose Hunter’s best Friend Shawn Michaels to be the referee. Shawn has guaranteed that a WWE Champion will be crowned on Sunday.
Hunter says that he is happy with the guarantee and he is happy with the choice of Shawn as the referee. He is happy that there will be a definitive champion. Hunter says that Shawn is the right guy to know what will happen when the cell lowers around you. He says that it is like 5000 pounds of steel crushing down upon you. It can destroy a man’s confidence.
Michael brings up the disagreements that they have had. He mentions the man that Shawn trained, Daniel Bryan.
Hunter lets the crowd chant’ Yes’. Hunter says that they have been friends for 20 years. They have been best of friends and fierce competitors. They share similar beliefs in a lot of things. They agree with how the WWE should operate. They both know what is best for business. When it is all said and done, Shawn Michaels will do the right thing.
Michael asks Hunter what the ‘right thing’ is. Hunter says . . .
Daniel Bryan’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Daniel says the right thing. The right thing is to let Randy Orton and him settle everything, once and for all. Regardless of anything that people will do. That includes Hunter, Big Show, the Shield, and his gardeners. No one gets in and no one gets out . . . until there is a definitive winner.
Daniel says that he knows that Shawn is his best friend. We have heard it a million times. Shawn is his own man. He will not favor Daniel or Randy. He will do what is best for business. When he does, after everything that Hunter has said to him. Daniel says that he will prove Hunter wrong.
When he does, he will become the new WWE Champion. And, as much as Hunter hates it, the new face of the WWE.
