Cheeseburger vs. Bully Ray
Ray got into a verbal back and forth with Cabana as he came out, with Cabana reminding him that he promised to help this generation of wrestlers. Ray shoved Cheeseburger down on his rear end. Burger got right back in his face, psyching himself up and drilled him with a right. Ray grabbed him and tossed him across the ring with a powerbomb. Burger tried to pull himself up with the ropes, manning up.
Ray grabbed him again and nailed another powerbomb. The referee checked on Burger as Ray walked around the ring, sneering at the audience. Burger demanded referee Todd Sinclair not stop the match. Ray grabbed him, spun him around and nailed another powerbomb. Ray cupped his ear to soak in the fans booing. Ray grabbed the chain he brought to the ring but the referee didn't allow him to use it. While the referee was removing it, however, Ray lowblowed Cheeseburger. Ray slipped out of the ring, staring at the fans, allowing himself to be counted out.
Your winner by count out, Cheeseburger!
Ray returned to the ring and raised the dazed Burger's arm before nailing yet another powerbomb. He then teased another one on the floor before throwing Burger back down. He menaced the fans, Bobby Cruise and others before returning to the commentary area and told Cabana to mind his business.
As a way to get Ray over as a heel and Burger over as a sympathetic character, this was perfect.
