Because this is how my mind works.
I'm watching RAW, and during the rundown of the upcoming European tour the voiceover guy says that the WWE will have a date in Cardiff, Wales. Obviously, I'm immediately thinking about what this would be like as an episode of Torchwood.
Rhys strikes me as the kind of guy who would dig the WWE, and he would drag Gwen along (she'd start out the night bored, but secretly get into it as the night progresses). At work the day before, she'll complain about how Rhys is forcing her to waste her first night off in months, when to her shock Jack will decide that this sounds like a great night out for the whole office.
Of course, it'll turn out that Jack's motives aren't entirely pure. The team will get wrapped up in political shenanigans as it's revealed that Jeff Hardy isn't actually on Wellness suspension, but instead has been unwillingly summoned back to his home planet, where he's just inherited the crown (a fact the Torchwood gang finds out when Matt Hardy punches Jack right in the mouth. Apparently he'd promised that Hardys that when they found baby Jeff abandoned on their front porch this sort of thing would never happen, and now it's up to him to fix it.)
Meanwhile, the Undertaker (who's obviously also an alien, but not from the same system as Jeff) spots Jack & Co. and gets extremely pissed that Jack's in his "yard". Apparently Jack being a deathless abomination doesn't fly with 'Taker.;) He threatens to force Jack to choose whether he takes Gwen or Ianto's soul, and probably starts controlling Owen outright before Jack manages to talk him down. They'll team up to fix the Jeff situation, because 'Taker still has fond feelings for Jeff from when they feuded years ago, and he doesn't trust Torchwood not to screw things up.
After they save the day, everyone winds up backstage; Jack in between John Morrison and Melina while Maria chats up Ianto until he turns beet red, meanwhile Owen flirts with everything that moves and Brian Kendrick tries to win Tosh over with his Cute Blondness until Micki James drags her into a back room and has her way with her. The episode ends with Rhys wondering where everyone got to, because they missed a great show.
(This crack has been brought to you by my need to distract myself the Flair This-Is-Your-Life tribute, which is killing me dead. I can't take this many manly tears!)
