I'm at work, drawing tournament brackets on to a note pad. I've got 20 or so names written down and I don't even know who I want to win yet.
Edit: @Fatty Facesitter- Am I restricted to just the one NXT pick? I'm wanting to get a good spread across the rosters so 7 Raw, 7 smackdown and 2 from NXT.

If @HarmonicGenerator is cool with it and you meet the other bit of the criteria somehow (previous winner) - then in the words of Mills Lane, I'll allow it.

Shawn Michaels Comeback Story:

hbk.jpg

 The BAR stands in the ring lambasting their lack of success within recent months. They square the blame solely on the shoulders of COO Triple H. His blind eye to the tag team division has caused them to slip into irrelevance, and now they’re thrusting themselves back into center stage by refusing to leave until they receive competition whom they deem to be acceptable. When an attempt is made by security to remove them from the ring, the BAR lashes out, forcing a cavalcade of WWE superstars to hit the ring. Amongst them is Shawn Michaels, who had been brought in to promote an upcoming DVD. Shawn has knocked to the mat accidentally and when he rises to his feet is met by a Brogue Kick by Sheamus.

The next week, Triple H demands the BAR face him at the upcoming PPV, looking for retribution following their assault on his friend, but his demands are laughed off. As they leave, HBK’s music blares out! He tells everybody his reasoning for sticking around so long was because the itch never left him, and now he has a reason to step back between the ropes.

At the PPV, the whole shtick is back out. Both HBK and HHH are decked out in all the DX merchandise. They both pander heavily to the crowd, and the match begins. From the off, it’s evident Shawn is suffering from ring rust. He leaves much of the work for HHH. His ascent to the top rope to deliver an elbow is longer, tuning up the band requires more effort than it used to, and the bumps he takes hurt a lot more than they did back in 1998. DX win, but it isn’t all plain sailing.

The following night, the whole band is back together! DX stand in the ring, celebrating their success until they’re interrupted by…

Shawn jokes and jests with Rollins about missing his cue, but Rollins doesn’t respond with anything but a glare. He stands on the ramp and asks Shawn if his is how he envisioned his legacy looking. After so many years of anticipation and speculation, they get a broken-down man wheeled out for a nostalgia pop, happy to simply coast by on the reputation of his stablemates?

Shawn seems sobered by Rollins’ comments and beckons him into the ring. When he stiffly thanks him for his honest opinion, he seems to have taken his words into account. Whatever impact Seth’s words have however is rendered meaningless, when Shawn turns and superkicks Rollins in the nose, breaking it. Shawn leaves to much bravado and self-celebration.

Next Monday, Rollins sits in the ring, wearing a protective face mask. He talks about how he tried to help save the career of a man he had so often looked up to, and how will carry a reminder of his attempt of assistance on his face for the rest of his career. The challenge is thrown down for the next PPV, and Michaels is quick to accept the offer, remaining as arrogant and cocky around Seth as he did last week, filled with self-belief after what he considers a successful return to the ring.

The day of the PPV comes around. Rollins is stoic and determined as he walks to the ring, Michaels is the total contrast, taking his time to soak in the adulation of the crowd and milking the reaction for all its worth. As the bell rings, Rollins is on HBK like a shot. Remembering the ring rust, Seth batters Shawn with a barrage of quick, aggressive moves that HBK can’t keep up with. The pace overwhelms him, and within 5 minutes Rollins nails a curb stomp to win the match. Rollins leaves without a shred of fanfare, whilst Michaels remains in the ring, unable to comprehend the nature of his defeat.

The next 3-4 weeks, there is no sign of Shawn Michaels. Seth Rollins on the other hand is jubilant with his victory, thrilled he was able to record such a decisive victory over a Hall of Famer. Every week, more of HBK’s mannerisms creep into Seth’s arsenal, even winning one match with a Superkick.

Post-match, as Seth tunes up the band, a man steps onto the entrance ramp, unannounced, dressed in street clothes. No pomp. No extravagance. Shawn Michaels.

Michaels apologies for his defeat and issues a Wrestlemania challenge.

Seth initially laughs off such a proposal. Why would he? How can he beat Shawn any more impressively than he just did? Shawn has no incentive to offer him. No belt, no title opportunity and no logic. As Seth is about to exit the ring, Shawn stops him, and makes Rollins a proposition. He knows Seth is fuelled by ego, so suggests if Seth should be able to beat him again, he will stand in the ring and proclaim Seth Rollins the better man. Wordlessly, Seth nods to accept.

Wrestlemania arrives, and Shawn marches onto the ramp in fantastic shape, motivated and to prove himself once more.

Straight away it’s Shawn trying to blitz Rollins, but Rollins’ plan has worked perfectly. Aware that the match suits him the longer it goes, Seth is happy to take his time. He stalls, and whenever it seems though Shawn is about to build momentum, he cuts him off with cunning intent. The match becomes a battle of Shawn fighting against his body, forcing it to compete, as Rollins begins to take control and launches into his finishing sequence. HBK however has one more weapon and smashes the newly-recovered nose of Rollins with a superkick. With Rollins in the middle of the ring, he then looks out to the crowd and decides to climb to the top rope. With his weariness overcoming him, he slips, and staggers, before Rollins nails him with a Falcon Arrow, followed by a curbstomp. Michaels loses.

 Post-match, Rollins helps Shawn up. Michaels raises the arm of Rollins before Rollins buckles Shawn and smashes him with another curbstomp, creating the newest villain

Hopefully that reads alright, first time submitting anything like this, so hoping that the ideas get across well enough! Looking forward to reading what everyone else enters with.

CRITERIA

  • Take a current tag team in a promotion of your choosing and break them up. 
  • Book the timeline from the first teases and hints of dissension, the big break up and the aftermath.
  • Keep or turn one performer BABYFACE.
  • Keep or turn one performer HEEL.
  • Book up to at least their first match with each other post-breakup. 

The Setup

Xavier Woods has always been the outsider in The New Day. He’s not on the level of the others as a worker and has started to doubt himself. Woods and Big E lose a non-title match to the Usos when Woods is pinned. He’s tortured by it and makes the challenge for a rematch where he and Kofi lose when Woods is pinned again. After Big E and Kofi lose the tag titles to the Usos at a PPV due to Woods’ interference backfiring, Xavier walks away. He announces his retirement from wrestling on Twitter. Then disappears from social media completely. Big E tells Kofi he’ll be back eventually and the team soldier on.

The Swerve

Woods has been gone for two months. He’s forgotten on TV and the team continue as if he never existed. Big E enters the 2019 Royal Rumble at number 3 and puts in a strong showing. Kofi enters at number 20 and proceeds to help Big E eliminate some of the chaff in the ring. Big E collides with Kofi and falls out of the ring under the ropes. As he gets to his feet, Kofi is launched over the top and Big E catches his mate in Kofi’s annual Royal Rumble great escape. He clambers onto the big man’s shoulders and is paraded around the ring high fiving fans...

...until they reach the ramp where Kofi takes a Big Ending on the metal. The place is stunned. The match is halted. An ambulance and stretcher arrive as Big E pulls down the straps and walks away.

The Plot Thickens

On the following Smackdown, Big E arrives in black street clothes and pushes past an attempt to interview him. He’s expected for a squash match but beats the shit out of the jobber backstage and leaves. This continues for several weeks with E. kicking the shit out of R-Truth, Dillinger, Sin Cara and the Colons. He moves on from ignoring the interviewers to saying only that he acted on the worlds of the almighty.

Kofi is off TV for weeks until Mania comes around. Big E. batters Daniel Bryan backstage on Smackdown. Bryan is heading into a WWE Title match at WrestleMania and Big E. establishes himself as a threat to Bryan coming out of Mania. Big E. jumps Bryan again the following week but is foiled by the returning Kofi who starts a wild brawl but it’s ended when E. smashes him through an announce table and retreats casually from Bryan’s attempts to goad him back into the ring.

The Match

Big E. beats Kofi on the WrestleMania undercard when a mystery man in black hands him a cereal box which he wallops Kofi with. As Big E. walks away victorious, the camera zooms in to show the world the box. The ref picks up the box, opens it up and pulls out three bricks.

The Aftermath

On the Smackers after Mania, new World Champion Daniel Bryan is in the ring when he’s distracted by the mystery man in a black suit. He’s attacked by Big E. from behind and left lying. Big E. takes the WWE title, gets down on his knees and hands the belt to the man who unmasks as … “Almighty” Xavier Woods. New top heel manager and next WWE Title challenger.

Roman Reigns is in the ring with heavy boo’s raining down upon him. He is cutting a promo about how he finally conquered the conqueror and that this is once again “His Yard”.

Before The Shield can hit the ring Constable Corbin appears and informs them that he will not allow Raw to descend into chaos, if The Shield want the Authors they have to wait until Hell in a Cell. He adds that if either team touches each other before then they will be suspended.

Raw – One week later

The Shield face The Revival with Heyman on commentary and the Authors standing guard. Dean is distracted by The Authors and gets in their faces which allows Revival to target Seth’s leg and beat him for the tag team championships.  Heyman and the Authors get into the ring and taunt Dean who loses it and grabs Heyman, pushing past the AOP to do so. The Revival pull Dean off and beat him down.

Raw – Go Home Show

Dean and Seth (visibly limping) arrive at the arena and head to the ring. They say they want a rematch with The Revival. Corbin appears and informs them that because Dean laid hands on Heyman and also the AOP he has no choice but to suspend him. Riot police head to the ring and cuff Dean and escort him out. Corbin then turns to Seth and tells him he agrees to the rematch and that it will happen tonight. The Revival beat Seth and destroy his knee in the process.

Later: Heyman and the AOP head to the ring, Heyman gloats that sadly The Shield look like they won’t be making it to HIAC.

Raw Night After

Heyman appears on ramp “Ladies and Gentlemen………my new client FINNNNNNNN BALLLOOOORRRRR”. Finn flanked by the AOP heads to the ring. Finn explains that he was the leader of the most dominant group in the world and that the Shield were fools for thinking they were ever the most dominant force in wrestling and that now he is again. Roman appears and calls Finn a sell-out. Finn claims Roman in the same as Lesnar, a part time champion and that a real champion would face him tonight with the title on the line. Roman accepts.
