Vendetta III had been off the charts so far, the fans were riled up from the solid matches and only one was a no show, Evan and Connor being taken out by a superstar identity and reasons unknown. They knew what was next, it was finally time to crown a new champion inside of BUD. Lily moves into the centre of the ring raising her microphone to her lips "Ladies and gentlemen, it’s now time for our main event and this match has a one hour time limit. The only way to win is by pinfall or submission, the winner will then be crowned the NEW BUD Heavyweight champion!"
A video package rolls of the events leading up to this match, DC winning the title, then having to run his mouth, Nikki and Matlock going through opponents left and right and finally NovaCaine unmasking himself and letting the world know it was he who DC finally settled on.
Dc makes his way out onto the stage amid mass amounts off jeers and boos from the crowd
" Making his way to the ring from New York City, New York! Weighing in at 220 pounds.. He is the special guest referee DARK CHILLLLLLLLLLLLD!"
The lights in the area dim, through the sound system, Fuel's "Won't Back Down" begins low ...
I know what darkness means (and the void you left for me)
The isolation stings (so thick it wants to bleed)
The echoes in my brain (of the things you said to me)
You took my everything .. (NOW I'M COMING FOR YOU!)
Two pyro's explode on either side of the stage in a single explosion .. Nikki appears through the smoke ..
"Introducing the number two contender for the heavyweight title Nikki Black!"
She stands at the end of the ramp, she let's her eyes roam over the crowd quickly, then makes her way down the ramp. Upon reaching the ring, she hops on the apron, she turns and faces the crowd, her back against the ropes, and back flips into the ring. She hits each corner and plays the crowd, before hoping down walking towards the far right corner. The entire arena waits in silence. The opening guitar chords of "Born With Nothing, Die With Everything" hit the speakers. Eight seconds later, the song kicks into full gear as pyro erupts from the stage in a loud BOOM!
Fed up tired, Sick & twisted
One man army I'm enlisted
Trust yourself trust no one else
Fuck a hero just be yourself
It's at this point when Matt Matlock steps out from behind the curtains, dressed in his jeans and a muscle shirt and wearing a pair of sunglasses. He stands there looking out over the crowd with a grin as the song continues.
And I don't need your lousy handouts
With clenched fists I'll fight my way out
Fight my way out, find my way out
Matt stands still for a moment, his arms at his sides.
People wake up and sing along
I trust no one, all my trust is gone!
At this moment Matt looks skyward and points up to the roof as loud pyros suddenly explode on both sides of the ramp, starting at the top and repeatedly exploding all the way down past him towards the bottom.
Born with nothing (born with nothing)
Die with everything!
Born with nothing (born with nothing)
Die with everything, yeah!
Now as the pyros subside and the song continues, Matt continues his walk down the ramp. Most of the crowd is booing as he does so, but some fans have their hands out for him, and he slaps hands with them as he passes by. He reaches the ring and slides underneath the rope as Kevin Dart takes the mic.
Lily: And now in the ring, hailing from Cape Breton Island, Canada and weighing at two hundred and seventy pounds, he is "The Cornered Animal"....MATT....MAT-LOOOOOCK!
While Lily is doing the introductions Matt leaned over the ropes on both sides of the ring facing the crowd, talking trash at those are booing him. Matt then heads up the top turnbuckle, where he stands for a moment before stretching his arms to the side. The moment he does so a flurry of pyros erupt in the enter of the ring behind him, HBK-style pyros. They shoot off rapidly for a few seconds until he lowers his arms and they stop he hands the sun glasses to the ring helper and smirks leaning against the ropes, his cockiness oozing from him. The house lights fade to a dull glow..Several Spotlights dance over the crowd looking for the elusive Caine as the big screen comes to life. Images begin to roll over the screen ...Disturbing ,Macbre images...All with one similarity..They all portray the pain of others..As the video seems to come to is peak , Nova appears from somewhere in the audience to his theme music Emerald by his side�?Making his way to ringside , he leaps the security railing..
"And finally, making his way from the city of Lost Angels, being accompanied by Emerald, he is The Cancer Of BUD, NovaCaine!"
Stalking around the ring a cocky little grin curling his lips..He rolls in under the bottom rope..Standing center ring to allow his adoring fans to show their accolades Emerald stands beside him slowly taking his jacket off, tossing a look at the competitors she nods and kisses him softly before getting out of the ring. DC holds the heavyweight title up high giving last minute instructions, before the match can start Nikki is seen saying something to him, pointing to both Matlock and Nova. You can see DC shrug a bit before starting to frisk both men over looking for weapons as Nikki stands there smirking a little, Nova pushes him away demanding he check Nikki, he does and you can clearly see DC copping a few feels. Nikki quickly pushes him away and before the match even gets underway all three competitors attack DC giving him a massive beat down the retired star tries fighting back but to no avail Nova grabs him and literally tosses him out of the ring. A second ref as well as EMTs come rushing down moving DC to the back the new ref signals for the bell and finally the main event is under way!
Chaos is the only way to describe what is happening in the ring right now, Nikki and Matlock both seemingly working together to try eliminate Nova early from the match, he soon battles back taking out Nikki first before concentrating on Matlock the pair lock up, Nova showing his dominance by forcing him into the corner taking a cheap shot which Matlock returns. The men throw left and rights until Nikki moves in and quickly lands a snap suplex on Nova bridging it into a pin, Matlock climbs to the top rope and breaks the pin with a leg drop that causes Nikki to get pinned under Nova the referee instantly dropping down for the count.

Nikki manages to get out from under Nova as all three get up and once again start brawling, the ref all but gives up trying to keep control of the match, Nova rolls out of the ring allowing Nikki and Matlock to start locking up Matlock pushes Nikki into the corner and she quickly brings her knee up making him fall down, a quick boot to the head and she drops down for the pin, the ref drops down and Nova quickly goes to work placing Nikki’s feet on the ropes stopping the count. He quickly rolls into the ring and pulls Matlock to his feet completely ignoring Nikki as Nova blasts him with lefts and rights before tossing him into the ropes and landing a harsh sidewalk slam driving the air out of him, Nova proceeds to roll Matlock out of the ring and turns his attention to Nikki. The two circle each other wanting to attack Nova strikes first pushing Nikki backwards and she retaliates but he doesn’t move, her hand reaches back and slaps him hard across the face, shaking his head Nova just laughs and quickly pulls her in to him whispering something into her ear he pulls back and quickly grabs her landing a brutal DDT which he quickly turns her over going for the pin but the ref is too busy checking on Matlock until Kaci all but screams at him to do his job, he slides into position and gets to two before Nikki gets a shoulder up.
Shaking his head Nova is on his feet and pulls her up by the hair but Nikki fights back sucker punching him enough to shock him and send Nova stumbling backwards Nova is quick to get back into the game once again grabbing Nikki he whips her into the ropes and as she comes off he knees her in the stomach before driving her back down.
LM "Nova is in control here"
MH "Matlock needs to be fined for sleeping on the job!"
Nikki manages a rake to the eye allowing her to get back to her feet, she slides out of the ring attacking Matlock but not for long Nova comes out and grabs him all but throwing him into the steel stairs, Emerald cheers him on as he stalks Nikki who is quick to get into the ring as Nova slides in she attacks stomping her boot into the back of his head to keep him down as well as his back. Nova rolls out of the way of the blows but it seems to have slowed him down a little, the ref keeping an eye on them doesn’t notice Emerald charging over to a groggy Matlock attacking him enough to keep him out of it. She quickly moves away with a satisfied smirk until she notices Nikki in control of the match, she manages to take him down and quickly covers the ref’s hand coming down quickly for a two count before Nova’s shoulder shoots up.
MH "This is cheating, he’s counting fast!"
LM "I’m sure he wasn’t"
Back in the ring Nova has managed to toss Nikki over pinning her down he keeps punching her in the face and body wearing her out before he pins her. The crowd watching as Stephanie McMahon-Margera pops up on the titontron
"I forgot to let you know, this match is now a use your opponents finisher match"
With a wink she is gone although you can tell the frustration in Nova’s eyes. He pulls Nikki to her feet she swings wildly landing a few punches before kneeing him and landing a quick DDT, knowing she couldn’t win this way Nikki jumped up and waited for him, as Nova got to his feet Nikki managed to land Animal Instincts on him making sure to hook his leg the ref slides into position getting a two count before Matlock manages to pull her from Nova. Nikki turns around and instantly the two start brawling, Nova takes his time getting back up before joining the fight, this time Nikki is tossed over the ropes and as she starts getting back in Emerald grabs her and smiles sweetly before landing a perfect punch to the nose all but busting it open.
LM "Emerald is being a bit wild here tonight, she could get tossed out if she isn’t careful"
MH "Once a Caine always a Caine you know they always help each other out"
LM "It’s just not right! We know Nova is only in this match because of Dark Child"
MH "And we all know Nova is the reason Dark Child is no longer the referee, all three attacked him, all three hated him for many reasons"
LM "Must you always defend him"
MH "The man has natural talent, he is called the Cancer of BUD for a reason"
On the outside Emerald and Nikki are brawling just like Matlock and Nova are on the inside Nova manages to land Blackout watching as Matlock slowly fades, just as the ref motions for the bell Stephanie again appears on screen
"I think your girlfriend has a reason to try help you win, well the rules just changed. Let’s see if you can fight them both on your own Nova. This match is now no one allowed ring side! Everyone is banned!"
Emerald gets a wide eyed look on her face and looks at Nova who nods a little slapping Nikki once more she hops over the guard rail and sits in an empty chair, security make their way down fully prepared to take her backstage until she reaches into her shirt taking out a front row seat
MH "See they always come ready for anything"
LM "Stephanie is trying hard to keep the title away from Nova"
MH "It’s not her fault she’s mad because Nova came out about their relationship"
LM "She is married with children"
MH "Damn that was a good show"
Back in the ring all three are now battling it out Nova the marked man in the match as Nikki and Matlock both attack him taking him down and laying the boots in, meanwhile in the crowd Emerald has stolen a drink and popcorn although is up on her feet screaming for Nova to get up as the rest of the crowd screams for Nikki and Matlock to continue the punishment, until she flashes her tits then it seems Nova gets a few more cheers then usual. With a grin she sits and watches as he fights back. Nova slowly gets to his feet only to have Matlock take him down with K.F.O he pins and as his hand comes down for the two Stephanie is quick to come on the screen
"Wait, no see the match has again changed. We had chains out there for a reason tonight and no one could use them, so this match is now officially a chain match"
Kaci takes this as her cue and barrels over the guard rail sliding under the ring she grabs three of the chains, calling out to Nova she passes it to him and tries to run only to find herself between Nikki and Matlock, smiling she slides into the ring and hands them to Nova before getting back to her front row seat
LM "This is wrong Emerald is trying to help him win"
MH "Isn’t that her job?"
LM "Well.."
Nova has the chain and is swinging it but Nikki and Matlock come from behind to attack him Nikki wraps it across his neck Matlock all but whipping him with it. Nikki pulls back as Nova struggles to loosen the hold of the chains that are currently cutting off the air, he drops to his knees slowly getting defeated falling down Nikki drops the chain and grabs the spare attacking Matlock with it, she hooks it around his leg and all but secures him to the corner post, with a sick grin Nikki slides out of the ring grabbing a chair nodding slightly she gets back in noticing the ref checking on Nova and she slams it into Matlock’s knee the crowd cheering as he screams in pain she drops the chair to the outside and lands a short base ball slide her feet directly into his knee he screams and clutches his knee the EMTs running down but she doesn’t stop her attack that is until Nova wraps the chain around her swinging her violently around the ring before tossing her aside, wrapping the chain around Matlock’s injured knee Nova pulls him up and lands The Painkiller making sure to put a fair bit of pressure onto his knee tossing him from the ring Nova allows the EMTs to take Matlock to the back eliminating him from the match. With him gone Nova sets his sights on Nikki who is still unmoving from the attack earlier, he stalks her and leans down Nikki quickly grabs him and rolls him up grabbing a fist full of pants but Nova grabs the ropes breaking the count.
They both get to their feet and lock up though you can see the energy is wearing thin with them Nova manages to power Nikki into the corner grabbing a chain he wraps it around her neck and kicks her taking the air from her he lands a suplex and grabs hold of the chain choking her with it you can see Nikki writhe in pain as she tries struggling against it, but it just takes the air out of her. The ref watches and once again the tron comes to life, but this time there is no Stephanie, instead Mason is there a sick grin on his face the ref having no other choice but to raise Nikki’s hand and drop it, he does it again but before he can go for the third Nova has dropped the hold and grabs her lifeless body landing C.O.D and goes for the pin, as the ref’s hand comes down for the three Kaci is over the guard rail and in the ring with the title a grin on her face as she raises the microphone to her lips
"Please allow me to introduce you to the NEW BUD Heavyweight Champion�?He is the Cancer Of BUD NovaCaine!"
The fans start throwing trash into the ring as Kaci hands the title over to him, he raises it in the air with his cocky grin before handing it back to Kaci smirking she straps it around his waist and fastens it up before raising his hand in victory. She jumps into his arms the pair kissing in celebration.
LM "Things just went from bad, to worse"
MH "Yes! I knew he could do it, the Cancer runs BUD once again!"
Just then, we hear the sound of clapping and see Dante walk out on the entranceway holding a mic
LM: “This is a volatile situation folks, the first time they’ve been in the same vicinity since the war of words started between these two Legends.�?/FONT>
Dante starts slowly walking down the aisle. “Congrats Champ .. but playtime in the kiddie pool is over Nova.�?/FONT>
Dante breaks into a run to the ring when suddenly senior referee “Old School�?Jerry Lawrence throws a handful of powder right in the face of Nova and Emerald! He immediately jumps out of the ring as another large man jumps the rail to the side of the ring. Dante grabs something in one motion as he also slides into the ring as Cross is up on the ring apron and stepping over the top rope
MH: “Dante and Cross are hitting the ring with bad intentions!�?/FONT>
LM: “What?! Why .. Jerry Lawrence?!�?/FONT>
The big man Cross clotheslines the blinded Emerald hard to the ground as Dante smashes Nova right in the face with the Ugly Stick! After the entirety of the Title match wearing on him, Nova drops with that shot. Dante smacks him again in the head as Cross hoists up the BUDVision Champion and powerbombs her to the outside of the ring!
MH: “PARALYZER!�?/FONT>
Emerald hits the outside hard as Dante scoops up the metal chain and starts smashing down the punches down on Nova as we see Mason running down to the ring to help his brother with a chair. Cross is waiting for him as Mason slides in the ring as takes a steel chair shot to the back of the head but it doesn’t take him down! He charges at Cross as he swings again and catches him right in the face and this time drops him. But the big man starts getting up again as Dante gets off Nova and throws the DOA on Mason as Cross stomps the hell out of the new Champion. Dante puts Mason out eventually as Cross sets the steel chairs up sitting facing each other. Cross grabs him and holds Nova over the folded chairs (like he was setting him up for AMW’s Death Sentence) Dante is up to the top rope in one motion an then leaps off dropping a stiff elbow to Nova’s neck as he also crashes back first onto the chairs! Dante scoops up the BUD World Heavyweight Championship and lays it on Nova as he lays there virtually unconscious and the two men Dante and Cross leave the ring walking up the ramp surveying their damage smiling foully and laughing
LM: “The Brothers Caine and Emerald are laid out as Cross has made his presence felt in BUD and him and Dante are on the same page again!�?/FONT>
MH: “Oh my sweet god, payback is going to be a BITCH! This war is just getting started!�?/FONT>
Vendetta goes off the air with a shot of Nova with the Title laying across his chest
