The Battle Of The Billionaires

ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley (Donald Trump) def. Intercontinental Champion Umaga (Mr. McMahon)

The clash concluded, the dust cleared and the silvery locks of the WWE Chairman were shaved completely from his head live from his own creation, WrestleMania 23. Then, when it seemed that all hell had already been raised, Austin gave Donald Trump his receipt for the downpour of cold hard cash that fell from the ceiling of Ford Field earlier on – in the form of a Stone Cold Stunner. Selecting Intercontinental Champion Umaga as his representative and employing his own son, Shane, as his back-up plan, Mr. McMahon seemed to have come to Detroit prepared for the Battle of the Billionaires. His master plan, however, would not take into account the resilience of ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley and the venomous bite of the Texas Rattlesnake. The physical contest between the two champions Lashley and the Samoan Bulldozer was one that pushed all the rules to the limits – so much that the special guest referee Stone Cold was forced to get his hands dirty (just how he likes it). After Austin received a Samoan Spike from the savage Umaga, the Chairman’s son made an unexpected appearance at Ford Field, where he delivered an unbelievable Coast-to-Coast dropkick to the outnumbered Lashley. With the ECW Champion’s face being forced into a steel garbage can, Shane then removed his shirt to reveal a referee shirt of his own. Just when it looked as if Lashley would be pinned and the most recognizable hair on the globe might be shaved from The Donald’s cranium, the Rattlesnake struck. Now provoked and incensed, Stone Cold interrupted Shane O’Mac’s count and delivered all hell to the Chairman’s son just before receiving another Samoan Spike. With this, Trump (who had enough of Mr. McMahon’s scheming) abandoned his corner and delivered a Lashley-esque clothesline to his billionaire rival. Back inside the ring, Umaga prepared to deliver yet another lethal thumb to the throat of Austin. The Rattlesnake averted the attack and dropped the 300-pound beast with a Stunner just in time for Lashley to obliterate his opponent with a spear for the win. The 80,000-plus capacity crowd in Detroit was then drawn out of their seats as Mr. McMahon was unsuccessful in sneaking away and received a Stunner – a move he’s all too familiar with by now. The incapacitated Chairman would then be strapped into the same barber’s chair he flaunted for weeks on Raw in hopes of intimidating The Donald, and was robbed of his “McMane.” Together, Lashley and Trump sheared Mr. McMahon of his hair while the now-bald billionaire bellowed an agonizing wail. Humiliated and head-shaved, McMahon wept at the mercy of The Donald and the ECW Superstar while Austin looked on sipping on a can of beer. The mane-less Mr. McMahon crawled and quivered toward the locker room area and suddenly, Austin proved exactly how much he despises billionaires by leveling The Donald with a billion-dollar Stunner – thus, delivering the ultimate WrestleMania moment.

WWE Champion John Cena def. Shawn Michaels

After months of anticipation, weeks of cooperation and hours of speculation…ladies and gentlemen, The Champ is still here. For the second consecutive year, John Cena walked into WrestleMania as the WWE Champion. And in a result correctly chosen by 59 percent of WWE fans polled in an AT&T Mobile poll, Cena defeated Shawn Michaels in Detroit to walk out with the gold for the second year in a row.From the moment The Champ entered Ford Field, it was obvious that his A-Game was in full effect. In a scene reminiscent of his unforgettable gangster entrance last year in Chicago, Cena entered Ford Field by driving a Mustang down through the loading dock and crashing through the glass set. It was an impressive sight, even if it did nothing to turn the favor of the raucous capacity crowd of 80,103 that was clearly in favor of HBK. It didn’t faze HBK any, as Michaels clearly had a game plan, focusing on Cena’s knee and dominating the early portion of the match. However, an errant charge led Michaels head-first into the steel ringpost, busting him open and giving Cena an opening to get back into the match. Unfortunately, just seconds after, Sweet Chin Music intended for The Champ instead nearly took the head off of referee Mike Chioda. As both men lay prone on the mat, the fans rallied behind a bloodied HBK. But in a move that is quite uncharacteristic of the challenger, he tosses aside the top level of the steel ring stairs and delivered a vicious piledriver that bounced Cena’s head off the bottom level. Things always look darkest before the dawn; unfortunately for HBK, WrestleMania wasn’t the dawn of a new championship reign, as Cena somehow kicked out of Michaels’ pinfall attempt. The challenger then threw his entire arsenal at Cena, but the resilient champion stood tall. In a furious final few minutes, both men hit the other with their signature maneuvers, with Cena applying both the FU and STFU in an attempt to claim victory. They both staggered to their feet, and somehow, Cena was able to take HBK down with a second STFU. Left in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go, the challenger was forced to tap out, ending the instant WrestleMania classic in favor of the champion. Following the bout, Cena sat in the middle of the ring and stared at the WrestleMania logo, nearly in tears after realizing what he had just done. He then dedicated the match to his father, saying “this one’s for you, dad,” before holding the WWE Championship in the air. But when he tried to shake HBK’s hand, the sullen challenger simply walked away; instead, he was given a salute from Cena in a show of respect.

Undertaker def. Batista (New World Heavyweight Champion)

Tonight at Ford Field, the Undertaker did the unbelievable by taking his undefeated WrestleMania streak to 15-0. Not only did he break his own record, but he also captured his first World Heavyweight Championship by delivering a Tombstone Piledriver to Batista for the win. With so much on the line, it seemed like The Deadman would do anything to ensure a win, even before he stepped out into the arena. Preceded by 24 druids with flaming torches, Undertaker’s unmistakable form emerged from the smoke, and more than 80,000 WWE fans erupted for The Phenom. Batista took an early lead in the match when he speared Undertaker right out of the gate. The Animal fought Undertaker out of the ring, and executed a running power slam off one of the announce tables onto another. The Phenom was clearly stunned, but managed to hang on through several pin attempts and continued to fight back. Having been victorious through 14 previous WrestleManias, Undertaker knows a thing or two about surviving, and used it to his advantage. The Phenom benefited from the situation, and was able to turn the match around with the Last Ride. After an exchange of several devastating attacks, including a Batista Bomb, Undertaker sealed his victory with a Tombstone Piledriver to keep his WrestleMania streak alive.

Mr. Kennedy wins the Money in the Bank Ladder Match

On SmackDown, Mr. Kennedy warned WWE fans to get ready to call him “Mr. Money in the Bank.” At WrestleMania 23, before a record-setting 80,103 WWE fans inside Detroit’s Ford Field, the loudmouth backed up his strong words, doing what his seven other Money in the Bank Ladder Match opponents — King Booker, Edge, Finlay, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Randy Orton and CM Punk — couldn’t. He climbed the ladder, grabbed the briefcase and won a future title opportunity any time over the next 365 days. The eight Raw, SmackDown and ECW participants would each make a worthy bid during the Money in the Bank contest, and the screaming Ford Field crowd seemed divided over who to cheer for loudest. However, almost universal fear and concern erupted moments after Jeff Hardy — at his brother Matt’s urging — threw himself from the top of a ladder to the outside floor, crashing onto WrestleMania’s first-ever Money in the Bank winner, Edge. Dropping more than 20 feet down, the force of Jeff’s fall actually broke the ladder beneath Edge in half, practically destroying both men. Neither Jeff nor the Rated-R Superstar — who before this match had gone 5-0 at WrestleMania, and 3-0 in WrestleMania ladder-related matches — would be able to continue following the carnage; in fact, Edge would immediately be stretchered out by medics. His condition currently remains unknown. Finlay nearly made himself a fighting Irishman in the Bank after catching Matt Hardy with a Celtic Cross onto one ladder. Unfortunately, the move also incapacitated the Belfast brawler, who’d require more than a little help from Hornswoggle to grab the case. Suddenly, Kennedy climbed an adjacent ladder to stop the little guy short, then squashed him in half with a top-rung plunge that earned massive cheers throughout Ford Field. Moments later, Kennedy would continue hearing those growing cheers as he used another ladder to crack a climbing CM Punk in the mouth, sending him to the outside, then as he claimed the briefcase, and its contents, for himself.
