Saturday Night's Main Event: Live From Detroit, Michigan
Start Time: 9:00 Est
The show opens with pyros blasting off all around the stage. The camera pans around the sea of fans as Saturday Night's Main Event begins. "Watch Your Words" by Alterbridge blasts through the speakers and even more pyros explode from the stage at the camera looks on. As the music continues to play the fans begin to cheer louder and louder. As the camera looks around the arena, the ring is shown. Inside the ring a black carpet covers the mat. There is a table sitting in the center of the ring with a chair on each side. The camera zooms over to the commentary booth where Joey Styles is sitting alongside Austin Owens.

Randy Orton -vs- Christopher PhoeniX
**In the ring, 4 large poles are up on the four corners. 4 wires run across them, on the perimeter of the ring, with 4 boxes on each wire, filled with ultraviolent weapons in them. There are 2 other ropes, criss-crossing in the centre, similar with one final box hanging from it. We hear the music of Paul Heyman, and he walks out onto the stage**

-VS-
Sting -VS- CM Punk
"Cult of Personality" blasts through the PA system, and marks the arrival of CM Punk. He bursts through the tunnel with his hands in the "X" position, and casually strolls down the aisle, and into the ring. Punk is asking for a Mic, but before he gets the chance to speak, "Seek and Destroy" rocks out of every speaker in the arena. The Man known as Sting emerges from the curtain, and walks down the aisle. He slides into the ring, takes off his coat, and throws it outside the ring.
Punk and Sting are standing face to face in a stare down. You can almost feel the hatred protruding from both combatants. Punk attempts to strike first, but Sting sees it coming. He blocks CM's incoming right hand, and floors his opponent with a strong left. Punk lays on the mat, with a deadly look on his face. He gets up, and spears Sting to the ground. Punk is unloading on the Legend beneath him, but the Sting rolls him over. Sting connects with a right, then a left, and walks away for Punk to reach his feet. Punk quickly stands, and charges at the Stinger. Sting is expecting another spear, but Punk is too smart to fall for that. Sting tenses up, ready to absorb the blow of his opponents shoulder to his chest, but Punk stops. Instead, he takes Sting down with a vicious clothesline. CM stomps on the fallen Stinger, with the hatred of 1,000 men. Punk grabs the Legend by the hair, and tosses him off the ropes.
The Stinger is disoriented, and doesn't have to to react. Punk picks Sting up on his side, and drops him down with a spine tingling backbreaker. Punk wrenches Sting's back across his knee, before dropping him and going for the pinfall- 1,2, no! Sting kicks out, and and kicks Punk in the back of the head. CM stands up, and goes for a running clothesline.The Stinger dodges Punk's clothesline attempt, and Punk bounces off the ropes, right into a back body drop. Sting capitalizes on his fallen opponent, and locks on a sleeper hold. Punk fights out of it though, and latches a sleeper on Sting instead. The experience Sting connects with a couple elbows to the gut, and goes for a back suplex on Punk. But Punk has been here before, and back flips out of Sting's move, and takes down the Man In Black with a modified backbreaker. CM goes for the win- 1,2, Sting kicks out! Punk is frustrated, and goes for another pin... 1,2, kickout! Punk is furious. He gets up, and walks away from Sting, who is attempting to do the same.
As soon as The Stinger reaches his feet, Punk dashes toward his discombobulated opponent. CM is charging toward the Stinger, hoping to spear him into the turnbuckle, but Sting somehow sees it coming. Sting steps out of the way at the last second, and Punk's shoulder rams into the steel ring post. Punk screams in pain, and backs out of the corner he trapped himself in. Sting has him right where he wants him, and grabs Punk's hair. He put him on the Dragon Sleeper position, and is getting ready for the Scorpion Death Drop. But The Stinger takes too long, and Punk capitalizes by spinning out of the hold and dropping Sting with a jawbreaker. Both men are down. After regaining their breath, they both reach their feet at the same time. Punks rocks Sting with a right hand to the temple, and the Stinger fires back. A flat out fist fight ensues. Sting goes for a dropkick on Punk, bu Punk was ready for it. He grabs the Stinger's legs, and flipped him over into the Sting's own finishing move.
CM Punk has Sting in the Scorpion Death Lock, and is really cranking down on Sting's back. Sting tries to break out of it, but Punk is too strong. Punk is leaning back, while Sting is pushing forward. Realizing his position, Sting pushes backwards, and flips Punk onto his stomach. The Stinger grabs his opponents legs, and locks in the Scorpion Death Lock. The Stinger sits down, and has it in as tight as possible. Punk refuses to tap out, and crawls his way over to the ropes. His finger tips grazes the rope, his only lifeline to escape this painful maneuver. But to Punk's dismay, the Stinger stands up, and walks into the middle of the ring. CM Punk has no more energy to crawl to the ropes again, and the pain is too much. Punk is forced to submit, and Sting breaks the hold. The referee hold Sting's hand above his head, when out of no where, "Burn in My Light" blasts out of the speakers. Sting looks over to the ramp, awaiting the arrival of "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton. But Orton is already behind The Stinger. He quickly turns his opponent around, and plants him with an RKO. Orton looks down on the fallen Legend, and smiles in an eerie manner. [/b]
WINNER: STING [/center]
