X-Division Championship

http://youtu.be/jvpUZghm82I The second and final championship match of the evening is set to be interesting and quick-paced, with the X-Division Champion Rob Van Dam, with all the experience and lethal feet, takes on the brash, quick and exciting Kenny King for his prestigious belt, after King defeated Zema Ion for the chance to be the Number One Contender. King starts the action early by catching RVD unawares with a dropkick to the outside when the current champion was handing his belt to the referee. King takes a few shots and slams on RVD on the outside, before continuing the pressure in the ring. That is until an attempted springboard leg-drop connects with nothing but the canvas, which allows RVD to apply his arsenal of spin kicks and shoulder blocks in the corner. But, soon RVD is pulled off the top rope by King, who proceeds to mock the champion by using the "R-V-D" taunt against its innovator, but with the classy move of pointing the thumbs to his derriere. This is followed by a series of submission holds putting pressure on the neck and spine of RVD, until the overconfidence of King results in him getting caught with a spinning heel kick from out of the corner by the Whole F'N Show. RVD is then able to connect with some clotheslines and straight kicks on King, and that results in the challenger being set up perfectly in the corner for a monkey flip. However, King is remarkably able to land on his feet, and then retaliates with his own shotgun dropkick pushing RVD into the corner. After failing to connect properly with the Royal Flush, RVD kicks out and dodges another attempted shotgun dropkick with a springboard straight kick, and following his old faithfuls the Rolling Thunder and the Five-Star Frog Splash, the champion picks up the pinfall and retains his championship. WINNER, AND STILL X-DIVISION CHAMPION: Rob Van Dam
