ONCE PRIMETIME GOES LIVE, "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS WHILE THE OPENING MONTAGE ROLLS. INCLUDED IN THE MONTAGE IS NEW FOOTAGE OF THE BOOGEYMAN AS WELL AS THE FINAL MOMENTS OF WAR IN THE WINTER, SHOWING EDGE HOLDING UP THE UNIVERSAL TITLE, NOW PERMANENT FIXTURES IN THE VIDEO. AS SOON AS THE SCOPE COMES INTO THE SHOT, "METALINGUS" BY ALTERBRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT IN HIS NEW "RATED R SUPERSTAR" T-SHIRT AND A PAIR OF BLACK LEATHER PANTS. IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE. HE IS MET BY MOSTLY BOOS FROM THE HUGE CROWD. THEN, CONFETTI AND BALLOONS WITH EDGE's FACE BEGIN FALLING FROM THE RAFTERS. Michael Cole: "We are live for TWF PrimeTime here on FOX and for those of you who haven't heard, a new Universal champion was crowned at War in the Winter"! Jesse Ventura: "That's absolutely correct Michael! Nails lived up to his end of the deal"! Cole: "I was surprised to see it, but Nails seemed more intent on physically harming Jordan Rockwell and that led to Edge's first Universal title win in his career"! EDGE GETS IN THE RING AND GETS THE HIUSE MICROPHONE. Edge: "Yeah, go ahead, keep booing! Ya know what, I like the way it sounds! It sounded exactly like these when I defeated three other guys to win this! HE HOLDS THE TITLE UP IN THE AIR, DRAWING MORE BOOS. Ha! None of you simple minded idiots thought I could do it! None of the little reporters on the internet thought I would ever get to this level! But guess what, I am the damn champ! I've always been a main event superstar and I've always deserved this! It's a damn shame it took this long to get it but now that I have it, it won't be going anywhere for a long, long time! Now, unlike most of you people, I do have a life outside this place! So I'm gonna go out on the town of Norfolk, see if I can get past the slew of inbred hillbillies around here, and find a decent looking woman to go celebrate with! And for those of you who don't like that, you can kiss my ass"! EDGE DROPS THE MIC AND LAUGHS AS "METALINGUS" HITS AGAIN. Ventura: "Edge is on top of the world Michael and now it's time to celebrate"! Cole: "Well acting like that, Edge is just gonna make even more enemies, as if he won't be hunted enough as it is"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A PROGRAMMING AD IS SHOWN PREVIEWING THE CONTINUING NFC PLAYOFFS FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "PINK PANTHER". RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... PRIMETIME RETURNS TO SHOW SHANE THOMPSON ON HIS WAY TO THE RING AS "WAITING TO DIE" PLAYS. Cole: "We welcome you back to TWF PrimeTime as we get set for a handicap match here and I want to go back to War in the Winter partner, this guy won one of the more hard fought matches we've seen in awhile". Ventura: "And that is exactly why I think Shane Thompson is the best all around competitor in the TWF. He's been Universal champion, he's been Lightheavyweight champion and now, he's shown he can win it the hardcore way". THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND A RING OF FIRE FORMS ON THE STAGE AS THE BROOD's MUSIC HITS AND THEY ARE LIFTED UP SLOWLY FROM UNDERNEATH. Cole: "And at War in the Winter, I truly believe that, even with two against one, these two were going to suffer a defeat at the hands of Bobby Lashley"! Ventura: "I don't think that's a bad assumption Michael. Lashley is a beast but tonight, the odds are in their favor again". BOBBY LASHLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP, FOLLOWED BY CHRIS PLATOON WHO HAS EVIDENT SCARRING FROM HIS MATCH AT WAR IN THE WINTER. Cole: "They sure are, but with Lashley on the team, I think it's pretty much even"! Ventura: "Well it looks to me like Chris Platoon is a little banged up Michael! You have to wonder how effective he's gonna be in this one". Handicap Match The Brood/Shane Thompson vs. Bobby Lashley and Chris Platoon Lashley started the match off and it was clear that none of the other 3 were very eager to match up with him. Finally, Gangrel did and they locked up with Lashley just tossing Gangrel across the ring like a small child. Gangrel got up and threw a right hand but Lashley blocked it and drilled him with a clothesline. He then lifted Gangrel up for a military press slam. Johnny Swinger came into the ring and threw a right hand but Lashley trapped his arm and hit an overhead belly to belly throw. Platoon tagged into the match and hit both members of The Brood with clotheslines before knocking Thompson off the apron with a dropkick. With a head of steam, Platoon then hit the ring ropes and dove through the other side, right onto Thompson. But when he got back into the ring, Gangrel was waiting with a reverse DDT. After 2 elbow drops, Gangrel tagged in his partner Swinger who locked Platoon in a dragon sleeper, slowing the pace of the match dramatically. Finally, referee Mickey Henson checked the right arm of Platoon and dropped it twice. It looked like there was nothing left but on the third attempt, Platoon held the arm up. He then was able to get up and spin around into a northern lights suplex. A loud cheer rose from the crowd as Platoon crawled to his corner. Closer to his side of the ring, Swinger made a tag to Thompson who ran and grabbed the right foot of Platoon. But Platoon rolled over and with his left foot, kicked Thompson right in the face. That gave him the seperation he needed to bring Lashley back into the match and Lashley was on fire, smashing Thompson with a running shoulder tackle. From there, he hit a delay vertical suplex in which he held Thompson up for at least 20 seconds. Lashley was looking to put on the finishing touches but when he whipped Thompson to the ropes, Gangrel slapped his shoulder to mack a blind tag. Lashley grabbed Thompson and pressed him above his head. But Gangrel came from behind with a chop block. Thompson hit the mat and rolled outside the ring as Swinger ran across and decked Platoon, also getting Henson over there. Thompson then reached underneath the ring and pulled out a Singapore cane, cracking Lashley over the head as he was draped over the middle ring rope. Gangrel then rolled Lashley up from behind as Henson turned to issue the 3 count. Match Time: 7:51 Cole: "Ah come on"! Ventura: "They've done it Cole! They've defeated the beast"! "WAITING TO DIE" PLAYED AS THE BROOD LEFT WITH THOMPSON WHO WAS HOLDING THE SINGAPORE CANE IN THE AIR. Cole: "Yeah, they defeated him with a damn weapon! That Singapore cane seems to be following Thompson to the ring for every match lately"! PLATOON HELPED LASHLEY UP AND, HOLDING HIS FOREHEAD, HE LOOKED ON IN ANGER. Ventura: "Well judging by that look, Lashley's not gonna forget this"! "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS, LEADING INTO A VIDEO PACKAGE THAT SHOWS SEVERAL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS OF BAHAMUT. BAHAMUT........ RETURNING AT........ BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "DANGEROUS POLITICS" HITS AND HEIDENREICH COMES OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD POP. Cole: "So Bahamut will be making his TWF return at the Royal Rumble which will be great to see but one superstar who probably won't be involved partner, is Heidenreich's tag team partner Animal". Ventura: "Well I know I said that these guys should've never messed with something that wasn't theirs but you never want to see a man get hurt". A WHITE RAY OF LIGHT SHINES DOWN ON THE RING AND MORDECAI's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT IN HIS WHITE ROBE AND CARRYING THE SYMBOLIC STAFF WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING. HEIDENREICH MAINTAINS THE INTENSE LOOK ON HIS FACE. Cole: "What we saw at War in the Winter was just absolutely revolting! I mean, it was one thing for Sean O'Haire to get his spider back, but to use that spider to.... to bite another man was hideous"! Ventura: "And not just any kind of spider Michael, a black widow". Cole: "For fans out there who want to know the condition of Animal, we can tell you that he was given an anti-toxin and has recovered but doctors have told him to take some time off from the ring because the effects of the bite may not show up until later. So to say Heidenreich is a little hyped for this match would be an understatement". Ventura: "I'm sure he's ready to defend his partner's honor but taking out Mordecai will be no easy task"! Heidenreich vs. Mordecai Fans didn't expect a technical masterpiece and they didn't get one as these two heavyweights just traded right hands before Heidenreich got a knee lift in and shot the pale rider to the corner. After following in with a clothesline, Heidenreich just leveled Mordecai with some very stiff shots to the face and head. He pulled him out and shot him to the ropes but Mordecai avoided a big boot and flew off the other side with a clothesline. A demented looking Mordecai then used his right hand to just choke Heidenreich, taking all of the count referee Mike Enos allowed. Heidenreich was slowly being taken apart by Mordecai who pulled him up and delivered some sort of chickenwing jawbreaker before looking to the heavens with an evil grin on his face. Mordecai then pointed out at his staff which was holstered in a stand at the end of the entrance ramp before pulling Heidenreich up, looking for an irish whip. But Heidenreich reversed it and kicked him right in the face. Heidenreich yelled "Get up"! before pulling Mordecai up and shooting him to the ropes for his scrapbuster slam. Heidenreich seemed to have Mordecai beat but the 3 count was stopped at 2 and a half by Sean O'Haire and hit him in the back of the head with his Intercontinental title, triggering a DQ. Match Time: 7:25 O'HAIRE CONTINUED THE ASSAULT AS THE BELL RANG. BUT MORDECAI JOINED IN AND AFTER ANOTHER SHOT WITH THE TITLE, THIS TIME TO THE FACE, MORDECAI GOT THE MASSIVE HEIDENREICH UP FOR HIS "CRUCIFIXION POWERBOMB" AND THEY LEFT HIM LYING IN THE RING AS "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE PLAYED. Cole: "And what the hell was that for?! Come on O'Haire, you got your stupid spider back"! Ventura: "This goes beyond all of that Michael! They're making him pay for his sins and right now, it seems like Sean O'Haire and Mordecai have single handedly eliminated the New Road Warriors from PrimeTime"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICE WHEN BOTH BATISTA AND ROME ENTER. Batista: "You wanted to see us"? Shane McMahon: "Uh, yes Dave, I did. I decided to give you guys a little bit of revenge tonight. NEITHER BATISTA OR ROME SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE's TALKING ABOUT. Yeah, I didn't like how either of you guys lost your matches at War in the Winter. Rome, you had to deal with Rick Martel and Batista, we all know you had Hassan beat if it wasn't for Daivari. So since those two guys want to get involved, they've got themselves a tag team match tonight. That's right, it's gonna be the two of you, Batista and Rome against the team of Daivari and Rick Martel! Ya like that"? BATISTA AND ROME LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND LAUGH. Rome: "Oh yeah, we like that". THEY LEAVE THE OFFICE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT ON A CONFIDENT LOOKING SHANE McMAHON. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW PSP IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR NEXTEL. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" IS PLAYING AND CHRISTIAN IS IN THE RING, HOLDING ONE OF THE BALLOONS THAT FELL DURING EDGE's CELEBRATION. Christian: "Ya know, I couldn't help but overhear the little celebration for Edge out here earlier. HE HOLDS THE BALLOON UP I mean, how ridiculous is this? CHRISTIAN DROPS THE BALLOON BEFORE STOMPING ON IT AND POPPING IT. There's just a few things Edge forgot to mention! Edge, you may've waited a long time to get that title, but that's only because you've sucked for so long! Not only that, but I wasn't even involved in the decision at War in the Winter! And now you want to be the "R Rated superstar". You want R rated huh? Well then why don't I bring that tape I made of me and your ex-girlfriend all those years ago and we'll give these fans R rated! THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER. Look Edge, I have two things. One is a guaranteed rematch clause. The other is a 2-0 pay-per-view record against you. So what I'm asking for, if you've got the balls, is a shot at my title at the Royal Rumble"! CHRISTIAN SLAMS THE MIC DOWN AS "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" PLAYS AGAIN AND HE LEAVES THE RING TO A BIG CHEER. Cole: "Christian has laid down the challenge, will Edge accept it"?! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS SHOW CHRIS MASTERS AND MUHAMMAD HASSAN DEVELOPING SOME SORT OF PLAN WHEN SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN STANDING BEHIND THEM. Shane McMahon: "Ya know, that all sounds really good". MASTERS AND HASSAN TURN AROUND. Chris Masters: "Wait a minute, how much did you hear"? Shane: "Look guys, your two managers have a tag team match tonight. If either one of you gets involved during that match, I will pull both of you out of the Royal Rumble that I entered you both in earlier today". SHANE WALKS AWAY AND BOTH MASTERS AND HASSAN DON'T SEEM TO LIKE IT. Rome and Batista vs. Daivari and Rick "The Model" Martel The team of Daivari and Martel may've done better than most expected as they were able to work on Rome for a couple of minutes but the lack of teaming together and Martel not being a regular superstar anymore led to their demise. After avoiding a missile dropkick from Daivari who wasn't the legal man, Rome made a tag to Batista who came in and caught a charging Martel with his spinebuster. That led to the "Batista Bomb" and the 1.......2.....3. Match Time: 9:44 Cole: "Oh what a Batista Bomb! Ya think these two will think twice about interfering from now on?! Oh look out, there's Hassan and Masters"! HASSAN AND MASTERS HIT THE RING AND WERE ALL OVER BATISTA UNTIL ROME GOT BACK INTO IT, SMASHING HASSAN WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND THEN DRILLING MASTERS WITH ONE THAT TOOK HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE. BATISTA THEN GRABBED HASSAN AND LAUNCHED HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE BEFORE HIS MUSIC PLAYED. Ventura: "Well Batista and Rome have cleared the ring tonight and these fans love it"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP SHOWING THE TWELVE MEN WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE NEW YEAR's BATTLE ROYALE. Cole: "Well still to come tonight, for the first time on live tv, we will hold the New Year's Battle Royale Jesse"! Ventura: "And fans that means you don't want to go anywhere"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR OFFICE DEPOT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR THE NEW BONELESS WINGS AT KFC. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... IDALIS WAS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH CHAOS WOLF AND CHAE.
Idalis: "I’m here with the man who survived the Elevated Fall match at War in the Winter against his former friend and tag team partner Vlad the Impaler".
Chaos Wolf: "That’s right at War in the Winter I had one goal, beat the hell out of Vlad and win the match. Everyone kept saying that I couldn’t beat him. Everyone kept telling me to forget it and move on. That losing to Vlad one more time would end my career. Well I proved them all wrong at War in the Winter when I threw Vlad over the top rope in the Elevated Fall match. I silenced all the doubters with what I did and now I can wash my hands clean of that piece of crap"!
Idalis: "Well well does that leave you, now that you've washed your hands of Vlad, as you say"?
Chae: "I’ll tell you what’s next. What’s next is my man plans on destroying Essa Rios tonight".
Wolf: "That’s right baby and after tonight, I have a bit of advice for Paul London. Shine up that title nice and good boy because soon it’ll be mine".
"Back in Black" by AC/DC plays as Jordan Rockwell comes out to a huge pop in his street clothes.
Cole: "We're back on TWF PrimeTime and here comes the franchise"! Ventura: "Yeah, but he's missing something I think a lot of people expected him to have tonight, the Universal strap"!
Jordan Rockwell: "I said at War in the Winter I had a special challenge that I was going to come out here and issue to you Nails and I am here to do exactly that! I also said that this would rock the foundation of PrimeTime and the TWF and I know what some if not all of you might be thinking. How could one challnge impact Rampage or SlaughterHouse, Asylum or SMW when it has to do with PrimeTime? The answer to that is real simple! I have made a career out of being thee single greatest showman in the TWF and doing things that no man would be willing to or able to follow. I have done things inside this ring that no one and I mean no one can ever dream to top and I do it for the McMahon family along with every single one of you fans here and around the world!
THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER.
And I know this is saying something but there is no man in this company that can out do me. I mean there is Joe Corey, the guy is good and he's gonna be great and he may be my number one fan but there's only one showtime here in this company and bottomline, you're looking at him! Shawn Michaels..........
Rockwell smiles as the fans boo.
Brutha please, I surpassed that jackoff three years ago and he's been ducking me ever since, but enough talking about that crap! Nails this challenge I've got for you will shake this company to the ground cause there is no one..... and I mean no one that can ever top it or go bigger than it. And that is this, I want a piece of you and I want it at this years Royal Rumble but not just in any old match, uh huh, seeing as how you put me through hell and I put you through hell then let's just cut to the chase and not go through hell but step right in the middle of it and bring that son of a bitch down!
THE FANS CHEER LOUDLY SOME MORE. "BACK IN BLACK" PLAYS AGAIN AS ROCKWELL DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND LEAVES THE RING, SHAKING HANDS WITH SOME OF THE RINGSIDE FANS. Cole: "Rockwell has laid down the ultimate challenge?! Will Nails accept what could be a career ending match for one of these two"?! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS SHOW IDALIS STANDING WITH SHANE McMAHON, JUST OUTSIDE HIS DRESSING ROOM. Idalis: "Shane, we just saw Jordan Rockwell challenge Nails to a Buried Alive match at the Royal Rumble. Would you sanction a match like that"? Shane McMahon: "If it's what the two of them want, I think it's clear that the fans want to see it so yes, yes I would". Idalis: "Okay, well I understand that you have an announcement concerning the New Year's Battle Royal coming up later tonight". Shane: "Yes I do. Basically, I have decided to make one minor change this year. In the past, the winner has been allowed to select a New Year's resolution as it pertains to the TWF as a whole. But this year, the winner will be allowed to select a resolution that concerns only himself". Idalis: "So a personal resolution"? Shane: "A personal resoultion that that man can use however he sees fit". Idalis: "Wow, well back to you guys out at ringside". BACK IN THE ARENA, LA FAMILIA's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND ESSA RIOS IS IN THE RING WHEN "IN THE END" BY LINKIN PARK PLAYS AND CHAOS WOLF IS LED TO THE RING BY CHAE. Cole: "Huge announcement there partner and if you ask me, the stakes just got higher for that battle royal later tonight". Ventura: "Absolutely. Can you imagine what those twelve men would like to do if they win"? Cole: "Well here comes Chaos Wolf who was finally able to get the monkey known as Vlad the Impaler off his back and I'll tell ya what partner, I will never lose the image of Vlad falling from the ring in that Elevated Fall match at War in the Winter"! Ventura: "It was definitely a sight to be seen but I talked to both Chaos Wolf and the lovely Chae earlier tonight and they both indicated that Chaos Wolf wants to move his career in an entirely different direction". Cole: "Well it sounded to me like he wants to try and take on the Lightheavyweight division. Essa Rios will provide the opposition tonight and I'm sure he'd love to pick up an upset over Wolf, that'd sure send his career in a different direction". Essa Rios vs. Chaos Wolf w/ Chae The bell sounded and Chaos Wolf seemed to have quite a bit of trouble with the lightning quick Rios who slipped out of a standing side headlock and drilled Wolf with a standing dropkick. After back to back arm drags, he went for a footsweep but Wolf ducked it and just popped Rios with a right hand. Referee Charles Robinson warned him to open up his fist as Wolf picked Rios up and slid him crotch first across the mat and into one of the steel ring posts. Wolf then went outside the ring and with a running start, just kicked Rios in the head. Rios was able to get out of the predicament as Wolf charged again but this time Rios responded with another dropkick. Rios then went into the ring and went to the far corner before charging across and flipping not over the ropes but the turnpost as well. At the last second, Chae yelled "Move" and Wolf did as Rios landed hard on his knees on the floor and was in immediate pain. Wolf pulled Rios up by the hair and rolled him into the ring before picking him up and hitting the "Chaos Driver" to put him away. Match Time: 6:48 Cole: "And that'll do it, a convincing win or Chaos Wolf who is starting to build some steam". Ventura: "And Paul London if I was you, I'd be taking a look because this man would pose a serious threat to your title reign". COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE LATEST TWF FIGURES IS SHOWN FEATURING 2 VARIATIONS OF MONEY MIKE AND ROB STORM. THAT IS FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE. RETURN FROM BREAK..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, A PROMO GRAPHIC FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE IS SHOWN. Cole: "The Royal Rumble of course is our next pay-per-view event and just listening tonight Jesse, I'd say this is going to be a huge event"! Ventura: "And it just got bigger because we can confirm that a match has been signed between Edge and Christian for the Universal title"! Cole: "Someone is gonna have to interrupt Edge's little victory celebration he's enjoying right now to tell him that. JUST THEN, CAMERAS PICK UP A MAN IN ALL BLACK CLOTHING WALKING THROUGH THE CROWD WITH A SIGN THAT SAYS "THE SAINT IS COMING.... BE PREPARED" IN HUGE LETTERS. What the hell is that guy doing"? Ventura: "Some of these fans, what can you say"? CAMERAS SHOW THE RING WHICH IS FILLED WITH 11 SUPERSTARS FOR THE BATTLE ROYALE WHEN "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "Well it is now time for the New Year's Battle royal and I gotta say, I feel like any of the twelve men in there could win this thing"! Ventura: "The crowd seems firmly behing Van Dam but I like Rene Dupree to pull it out". 5th Annual New Year's Battle Royal The fans were excited as the action started for the battle royal, the first time it's been on live tv. RVD quickly asserted himself with a jump kick on Orlando Jordan before hitting the Rolling Thunder on Ken Kennedy, who had been slammed to the mat by Mariner. RVD then clipped Rob Conway with a heel kick which allowed Chavo Guerrero to throw him out. Ken Kennedy was able to recover from the Rolling Thunder and he pushed Paul London off the top rope and out of the ring. Kennedy then assisted Dylan Jansens in dumping Chavo out. Axl Irvin came from behind with a double sledge to the back of Kennedy as Jansens paired off with Dupree. Axl rocked Kennedy to the ropes with a succession of right hands but when he ran at him, Kennedy backdropped him over the top rope. Mariner then went for a cross body on Jansens but Jansens ducked and pulled the top rope down, sending Mariner to the floor. With the field paired down to , Orlando Jordan battled with Kennedy and RVD engaged in a 3 way brawl with Jansens and Frankie Kazarian, who was holding his own. Seeing an opening, Dupree came over and lifted the legs of Jansens, dumping him over the top rope. But just then, a reddish smoke began billowing out of the entrance as The Boogeyman's music played, complete with his laugh. Dupree looked spooked and began backing up in the ring. That's when Boogeyman came from the crowd and over the barricade, pulling Dupree over the top rope from behind. Boogeyman then took a handful of worms and stuffed them in the mouth of Dupree before crawling backwards, away from him. In the ring, Jordan became Kennedy's fourth elimination after being clotheslined out and Taylor Made was dropkicked in the back by Kazarian which knocked him over and out. It was down to three men and Kennedy looked spent. RVD missed a spinning jump kick on Kazarian who grabbed him by the back of the head and threw him over the top rope. But RVD skinned the cat and came back into the ring, catching Kazarian with a german suplex. RVD then went to the apron, looking for a slingshot attack but Kazarian recovered in time to kick the ring ropes. RVD almost slipped off and to the floor but he held on only to have Kazarian run to the turnbuckle and kick him in the head, knocking him to the floor. But before Kazarian could get off the turnbuckle, Kennedy came over with 3 shots to the midsection before climbing up with him and getting him onto his shoulders. It looked like Kennedy was going to go for the "Lambeau Leap" but he instead just threw Kazarian off his shoulders and he crashed to the floor as the bell sounded. "MISTERRRRR KENNEDY" WAS HEARD AS REFEREE MIKE CHIODA RAISED KENNEDY's HAND. Cole: "Can you believe this?! Ken Kennedy has won the New Year's Battle Royal"! Ventura: "I love it! I think this could provide for the best New Year's resolution ever"! KENNEDY LEFT THE RING, HAVING SOME WORDS WITH THE CROWD AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR AFLAC INSURANCE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR DIET CHERRY VANILLA DR. PEPPER. RETURN FROM BREAK....... PRIMETIME RETURNS SHOWING SEVERAL REPLAYS FROM THE BATTLE ROYAL. Cole: "For those of you who may just be tuning in, Ken Kennedy has won the New Year's Battle Royal"! Ventura: "And I can't wait for his resolution but Nails has come out here and he's gota microphone". Nails: (laughs) "Rockwell, I can't believe you actually think you can't be outdone. Maybe you have done more than any superstar in the TWF, but the name Nails is synonomous in the wrestling world and for one reason. I'm not afraid of anything or anyone! So you want a Buried Alive match?! Rockwell, you think you unveiled the truth in that Hell in a Cell match when all you really did was add to the mystery! You have no idea who you are messing with and my friend, that is not good for you! So at the Royal Rumble, I will have no problem burying you alive"! Ventura: "He's accepted"! JUST THEN, LOUD CHURCH HYMS ARE HEARD AND A CASKET BEGINS MAKING IT's WAY TO THE RING, SURROUNDED BY 6 DRUIDS. Cole: "What the heck is this"? Ventura: "Well you heard Nails, he's not afraid of anything or anyone"! THE CASKET COMES TO A STOP AND 2 OF THE DRUIDS OPEN THE LID. INSIDE IS JORDAN ROCKWELL. Cole: "What the hell?! That's Rockwell inside"! THROUGH HIS HOCKEY MASK, NAILS BEGINS LOOKING DOWN AT ROCKWELL WHEN SUDDENLY, ONE OF THE DRUIDS ATTACKS HIM. Ventura: "Wait a minute, that druid is attacking Nails"! THE FIGHT GOES INTO THE RING WHERE THE DRUID PULLS A SMALL LEAD PIPE OUT OF HIS BOOT AND SMACKS NAILS IN THE HEAD WITH IT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOCKEY MASK HAS BEEN CRACKED. THE DRUID THEN REMOVES HIS HOOD...... IT's ROCKWELL! ROCKWELL JUST STARES DOWN AT THE FALLEN NAILS AS THE FANS CHEER. Ventura: "So what, it was a dummy in the casket"?! Cole: "Nails has accepted the challenge but the question is, does he know what he's gotten himself into"?! OFF AIR.......
