Raw opening segment
HHH is in the ring by himself. He looks disheveled, tired, unshaven.
"As you can see, I don't have my entourage with me tonight." He pacing back and forth, manic. "I've been without Stephanie for several weeks now, when the Wyatt family and Daniel Bryan kidnapped her." He looks out over the crowd. "I don't know where you've taken her, I don't know where she is."
The Wyatts appear on the TitanTron with Stephanie who is tied down to a chair. She wearing the same clothes as previous weeks, hair is grungy. Bray is combing his fingers through her hair. "Don't worry, Hunter, the princess is safe. Maybe not as clean as when she was taken, but none of us are truly clean, are we? We all have dirt on our hands. It's been my experience that those who have the cleanest hands, those who inhabit the ivory towers, are those who are the dirtiest." He combs his fingers through her hair again.
HHH screams. "Get your filthy fingers off of her!"
Bray laughs. "You're used to getting your way, aren't you, Hunter. Used to men of greater power doing what you say as you wield the cudgel of wealth. But what about the men who do not care about money? What about the men who have aspirations of greater import than mere green paper?"
HHH is seething. "What do you want?" He tears at his hair. "What do you want!"
Bray laughs again, running his fingers along Stephanie's face. "That's what it comes down to, doesn't it? I've gotten the messages from your lawyers, the offers of money, of title shots. You are free with the money which is not your own, that which you did not earn, Hunter. When I look upon you, I see a kingdom that is rotting from within, at the core. You are that core, Hunter. But what do I want?" He looks at Stephanie, then back to the camera. "I'll make you a deal, Hunter. This Sunday, when it's you and me in the ring at Elimination Chamber, if you win, you get your princess back. But if I win..." Bray laughs. "When I win, I get a blank check, a token I can cash in any time for whatever purpose I want."
HHH shakes his head. "How do I know you'll keep your word?"
Bray's smile is wide. "Do you have any other options?"
The crowd starts to erupt as Bryan has come through the crowd and is standing behind HHH. However, from under the ring comes The Shield. A four on one beatdown ensues until the Wyatt family come running down from the back. HHH and The Shield exit the ring, standing at the top of the ramp.
"I accept your offer, Bray. A no disqualification street fight. You and me. You think you can hang with the big dogs, the Cerebral Assassin? You think YOU'RE good at mind games? I invented them! You hear me? I invented them!" The Shield are dragging HHH away who wants to go back to the ring.
Back from break
The commentators announce that we will have 8 man action later on tonight--The Wyatt Family and Bryan vs The Shield and Batista.
Backstage segment.
HHH is with The Shield, Batista, Orton and the New Age Outlaws.
HHH: Stephanie has to be here. The Wyatts had to have filmed from somewhere in the building. Talk to the production guys, find out where they were. They had to have set up the cameras. Whoever finds her will be greatly rewarded.
Backstage segment.
New Age Outlaws are looking for Stephanie.
Road Dogg: Remember when HHH kidnapped Stephanie?
Billy Gunn: Yeah, what about it?
Road Dogg: They ended up getting married. You don't think.....
The NAO shiver at the idea, then continue searching.
Number One Contender match for the Tag Titles--Usos vs The Brotherhood
Back and forth match until the NAO come out and interfere. The Wyatts run in and counteract the interference. A Fatal Four Way match for the tag titles is made for the Elimination Chamber.
Backstage segment.
Orton finds the chair where Stephanie was tied down. He takes the evidence to HHH.
HHH: You bring me a chair, Randy. A chair isn't Stephanie.
Orton: They're already gone. What could I do about that?
Batista shakes his head. "Always a day late and a dollar short, as always, Randy."
Orton gets in Batista's face. "It doesn't look like you fared any better."
The two stare at each other, hinting at some discontent.
Backstage segment.
Orton and HHH. Orton asks, "Why do you trust Batista more than me? I could take out the Wyatts and Bryan just as easily....more easily than he could."
HHH: Then why haven't you, Randy? I put a bounty on the man's head and he's still walking around here. I didn't leave you out of the main event match tonight to punish you. I did it to protect you.
Orton: I don't need protecting.
Main event--Bryan and Wyatts vs Batista and The Shield, an elimination match.
HHH enters the ring in a referee's shirt, pointing at the ref in the ring and dismissing him. The Wyatts and Bryan dominate the first half of the match before things go badly. Systematically they take out each one of the team until it's Bray and Bryan vs The Shield and Batista.
HHH gets in Bryan's face. "This is what you can expect at the Elimination Chamber. This is what you're going to get!" He slaps Bryan across the face.
Bryan is eliminated.
HHH is in Bray's face. "Where is she? I can make this stop. Where is she?"
The Shield triple powerbomb Bray. HHH drags him back to his feet. "Where is she?"
The assault continues until The Wyatts and Bryan return without the match ending. A brawl commences. The New Age Outlaws and Orton arrive but so does The Brotherhood and the Usos. Shows goes to black with massive carnage in the ring. Bray has climbed up the ramp, watching from his chair, bleeding but smile at the chaos.
Bray looks to the camera. "We have just begun."
