After a commercial break the camera is focused on Shane McMahon who is sitting at his desk in his office. After a good pop from the crowd he clears his throat and begins talking.
Shane: I know earlier this week, I had spoken of Pay Per View ideas. Ideas that included Championship Scramble matches and so forth. But over the course of this past week I've been thinking. And you know what this company hasn't seen in quite some time? A good tournament. And I don't mean a cheap little 4 man tournament to crown a king of the ring, or a new champion. I mean a full fledged tournament to decide the top dog in this company. Thus, the idea behind the upcoming Pay Per View. Night Of Champions, a name you may all be familiar with. And this year it will feature the beginning of a 16 man tournament. The first round will feature 16 different guys in 8 matches. And the winner of this tournament can officially be known as the man on the top of the mountain because he will have both the World and Intercontinental Championships. Yes you are hearing correctly. Each time a champion is in a tournament match his championship is on the line. That means both JC Styles and Shawn Winters will have to fight through the entire tournament to hold onto their titles. The championship bracket is as follows.
Shane stops talking and soon the titantron shows an image of the tournament bracket.
Shane: As you can see half of the positions in the tournament are hidden. Mostly for my own personal fun and games. But hey, I think we should have the element of surprise. Each day between now and Smackdown, I'll be revealing the other 8 individuals. So on Smackdown you'll have the full tournament bracket. For those superstars already named in the tournament, well you better start training, because you never know who you're going to compete against. See you all at Night Of Champions!
With that the titantron fades to black as the crowd cheers for the announcement of the big event.
