Both Dante and Ace are in the ring as RAGE comes back from a commercial, the tune of ‘Do You Call My Name�?is still filling the arena as the two competitors stare back at one another from opposite ends of the ring, Ace still with the Flawless Title wrapped around his waist.

Joey: Welcome back to RAGE ladies and gentlemen, we’re just waiting for the special guest referee right now so that we can get this match started.

As if on cue, because it probably was, ‘Survive�?begins to play over the speaker system and out walks Scott Blaze. There are no flashy pyros or spotlights tonight though, its just Scott, and the music, and the booing fans. Scott is dressed in the official referee wear, the zebra shirt and black pants, as he walks down the ramp slowly, still with the same worried look on his face that he has had all week. He finally reaches the ring apron and slides under the bottom rope, immediately walking towards Ace, who moves forward as well, unhooking the title and pushing it into Scott’s face. 

Trunks: DQ him Scott! Right here and now

Joey: The match hasn’t even started yet…but its like we saw Scott say before, hes in quite a pickle. If he helps Dante win he’ll lose his guaranteed title shot, but if he helps Ace win�?/SPAN>

Trunks: I know, hes helping Ace!

Both Ace and Scott stare silently at one another before finally Scott takes a hold of the championship belt and rips it out of Aces hands. Ace tries to grab back at it but Scott stops him, pointing at the stripped shirt with something of a cocky grin, the first time we’ve seen Scott smile all week. He does the traditional showing of the belt to both competitors before finally handing it off to the timekeeper and ringing the bell. Both men slowly move forward but as Ace takes a step, Scott sticks his foot out, tripping the champion up, making Ace stumble forward and into a clothesline from Dante! Scott grins as Dante stares at him for a moment, puzzled, but doesn’t dwell on it as he turns back to Ace, picking him back up off of the mat and whipping him into the turnbuckle. When Dante runs at Ace to take him out in the corner however, hes shoved forward by Scott! Dante spins around and Scott takes a step back throwing his hands up obviously trying to play innocent.

Joey: Scott needs to stop interfering in this match and do his job!

Trunks: No what he needs to do is decide who hes going to cheat for this is confusing as hell!

Dante shakes his head, irritated but again doesn’t let it phase him as he turns around just in time to duck a clothesline from Ace, and turn it into a DDT! Again Ace is helped to his feet, only to be taken back to his knees by Dante courtesy of a dropkick right to the champions knees! Dante is quick to his feet and puts Ace flat to the mat with a vicious looking upper cut, following his opponent down and hooking the leg. Instead of getting a pinfall, or even a one count however, Scott is taking the heelish route, and instead checks first to see that both of Aces shoulders are down, but of course by this time, Ace has kicked out, and Dante is none too pleased.

Joey: Oh come on! Dante could have had this match won right there!

Trunks: Not likely…I mean I hate Ace Hart as much as the next guy Joey, but even *I* know he would have kicked out of that.

Dante ignores Ace who is already getting to his feet as he walks right up to Blaze, pushing him slightly and yelling in his face. The two begin arguing for a moment with Scott making hand motions that he was checking the shoulders and all that. Dante shakes his head, pushing Blaze again, only to have Blaze quickly push back, and right into Hart who quickly grabs Dante and drops him with a hard right hand! Dante quickly gets back up, only to be met with a left from Ace this time, with less power in it. The challenger is knocked back but only slightly as he comes back with a left of his own and the two men begin to exchange blows with Ace using his size to his advantage, grabbing Dante at a free moment and pulling him forward, flattening him with a big time clothesline! Dante doesn’t stay down long though, because Ace picks him back up. Ace stares over at Scott, before finally lifting Dante up into the air, holding him up for a moment only to flatten the challenger to the mat with a jackhammer!

Joey: What strength by Ace Hart!

Ace quickly covers for a pin, hooking the leg and this time Scott immediately jumps to the mat, slapping the mat once�?.twice…�?.

Joey: What is Scott doing?!

Scott has his hand barely an inch away from the mat as he stares at the two superstars, and back at his hand. He brings it up again to hit the mat but again, stops right before the third count and sure enough, Dante is able to get a shoulder up in this time! Scott doesn’t wait for either man to get up and instead walks away, right into the turnbuckle staring down silently as the two men behind him continue to go at it. Finally, he takes a deep breath and turns around just in time to see Dante pick Ace up off the mat and drop him right back down with a snap suplex! He quickly goes for the pin but Ace kicks out before Scott even has the chance to screw up the pinfall. Dante shrugs it off, obviously figuring it wasn’t enough, and stands up immediately going for Harts legs, trying to lock in a sharpshooter. Ace however has a different idea and uses his strength to push Dante away giving him just enough time to kip up. Dante puts on the brakes right before hitting the turnbuckle meanwhile, spinning around quickly and running back at Ace only to be grabbed and taken down with a spinebuster! Ace wastes no time covering for the pin and hooking the leg but Dante is able to kick out again, saving Scott from a very difficult decision.

Joey: Dante is still in this. Hes obviously not going to give up very easily

Trunks: Well one of them still has to have Scott count the pin…�?and that’s gonna be hard enough, remember either way Scott is shooting himself in the foot with this match.

Ace picks Dante up off the mat whipping him against the ropes once again, bending down to back drop the challenger on the return, but instead Dante stops himself, burying a foot up into Ace’s chest, and watching as he goes down hard. Dante quickly grabs the champion again, whipping him into the turnbuckle and following him in with a clothesline. Dante doesnt waste even a second though, picking Ace right back up and placing him up top onto the turnbuckle, climbing up to the second turnbuckle himself and hitting an INCREDIBLY tornado DDT!

Joey: OH MY GOD!

Both men lay on the mat for a moment as Scott begins to count, rather quickly actually, and as he gets to 6, Dante begins to drape his arm over Ace and Scott simply stares in shock, not going down to count, not anything, just staring blankly at the pin attempt. Obviously his attempt to DQ both men and thus keep the title on Ace by double count out, which would have resulted in a draw, has backfired yet again.

Joey: What the hell is going on?! Count the pin you bastard!

Finally, Scott slowly lowers his body to the mat, and begins to smack the mat once......twice..........NO! Ace doesnt get a shoulder up.....no far from it, instead Scott just stops counting, and stands up looking away. Dante has come to finally and is all but pissed off to hell that he just had the match won and didnt win. Obviously, he realizes whats happened and immediatly gets up, getting right up behind Scott, who is staring off in a trance once again. Without another moments notice however, Scott is pulled out of the trance as he finds himself being choked out courtesy of the DOA from Dante Cross!

Joey: DOA on Scott!!!

Trunks: He cant do that! Scott is the referee!

Joey: Obviously Dante is none too happy with Scotts officiating

Scott tries to free himself but has absolutly no chance as he finally tips himself backwards, causing Dante to fall down, back first albeit, on to Ace who still has his shoulders down and is still feeling the effects of that brutal tornado DDT. Dante continues forcing the move upon Scott, who has no idea that Dante is technically covering Ace, as he finally begins to pound on the canvas, once.....twice.....three times! No, hes not counting the pinfall, that he knows of, hes tapping out! The time keeper on the other hand, completely takes this as a pinfall and rings the bell! Dante hears the bell and immediatly releases the hold, getting up to his feet leaving Scott holding his neck, breathing quickly trying to catch his breath on the mat. The time keeper grabs the championship belt, bringing it up to the rings as the announcer gets on the mic.

"Ladies and Gentlemen here is your winner by pinfall and the NEW W2K XW Champion.........DANTE CROSS!!!"

Joey: Dante has done it! Dante has beaten Ace Hart!!! Scott tapped out, but counted the pinfall at the same time!

Trunks: What?! No! How did this happen?!

The fans dont care how it happened, as they EXPLODE with cheers as Dante looks on like a deer in headlights, not exactly understanding how hes won, but really doesnt care. He grabs the title and quickly heads for the closest turnbuckle, holding it up celebrating as "Last" by Nine Inch Nails begins to blare over the speaker system. Scott lays on the mat still, watching as Dante leaves the ring heading up the ramp holding the title, SCOTTS title, close to his chest. Scott watches on the titan tron as the replay is shown, absolutly shocked at what has happened.......not mad......hes too shocked to be mad. He watches as Dante disappears through the black curtain and RAGE cuts to a commercial!
