Lord Rayden VS The Headless Horseman VS Darth Maul VS Toad VS Ross VS Iron Fist
Special Guest Referee: Ray Park
Welcome to the Better Than CNN Arena! Tonight we will be featuring a 6-Man Single-Elimination Match! Making his was to the ring, he is your Elder God, Rayden!
(Lord Rayden walks out as all his fans cheer him on. He know's he's got a long night ahead of him.)
One of his opponents, carrying a sword and throwing more pumpkins than the Green Goblin, here is the Headless Horseman!
(There is a flash of fire in the ring, and the Headless Horseman appears when the smoke clears.)
And now, the Sith Lord responsible for the deaths of many, including the Jedi known as Qui Gon Jinn, ladies and gentlemen, Darth Maul!
("Dual of the Fates" begins to play in the Better Than CNN Arena as Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Maul makes his way to the ring, carrying his double-bladed lightsaber on his belt.)
And now, because I am getting tired of typing the intros, here are Toad, Ross, and Iron Fist!
(Toad, Ross, and Iron Fist come to the ring.)
Ladies and gentlemen, Let's Get Ready to Rumble!
The bell rings, and the match begins. Ross is immediately killed by the Headless Horseman. Iron Fist gets sliced in half with Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber. Toad is electrocuted by Rayden's lightning bolt (much like in the X-Men movie, where Toad was zapped by Storm). Now there are three men left, and they seem to be equally matched.
Darth Maul swings his lightsaber at the Headless Horseman. He tries to block the lightsaber with his sword, but it is cut in half. The lightsaber would have hit him in the head, if he had one.
Rayden sneaks up behind the Headless Horseman and performs his Animality, turning into an electric eel and electrocuting the Horseman. This leaves only Rayden and Darth Maul.
Before Rayden has a chance to transform back into human (or God) form, Maul slices him in half with his lightsaber, and becomes the new Better Than CNN Champion.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and new Better Than CNN Champion, Darth Maul!
