Scott Hudson: "The TWF train is back on the tracks and rolling at a high rate of speed toward the Resurrection pay-per-view event!"

Matt Striker: "Scott, I was on social media earlier this week and saw many wrestling fans criticizing the TWF for having the gall to charge and expect fans to pay money for this event buy trust me when I say this, Resurrection is going to be worth every penny... you will not regret it."

Hudson: "SANDPAPER" BY FOZZY COMES ON AND THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO AS TROY GAFGEN MAKES HIS WAY OUT WITH THE TWF TELEVISION TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

Hudson: "Social media wasn't even a thing when the TWF was at its best but slowly, we are working our way back to that level. So don't worry Twitter, don't worry Facebook and Instagram, this is a place you'll soon start to revere, rather than make jokes about."

Striker: "Troy Gafgen is the only Superstar currently in the TWF that is holding a title and quite frankly, Scott, I don't feel he's getting the credit he deserves."

Hudson: "Well he has defended the Television title several times now but he is in for a huge challenge tonight."

GUNDAM JR's MUSIC HITS AND A GOOD POP FOLLOWS AS HE RUNS OUT.

Kid Gundam is a former three-time Lightheavyweight champion as well as a former Intercontinental champion and now, his own son could win gold in the same company."

Hudson: "What a story that would be but getting by the tough, physical Gafgen is not going to be easy."

TWF Television Title Match

Challenger: Gundam Jr. vs. Troy Gafgen

Gafgen had his stiffest competition yet in Gundam Jr, as he seemed to have trouble containing his opponent’s speed. Gundam was able to land plenty of exciting offense, including a springboard Meteora and a Phoenixrana. Gafgen was able to gain the upperhand by countering a top rope axe handle attempt with a massive boot. After overpowering Gundam for a few minutes, Gundam once again gained the advantage by reversing a powerbomb attempt with a hurricanrana.

Gundam began once again to pick up the pace, however, it was cut short as none other than Ken Doll slid into the ring, brandishing a snow ski! He blasted Gundam Jr, who was perched atop the top rope, right across the back, sending him crashing to the floor outside the ring. He then waited for Gafgen to get to his feet, and as soon as he did, Doll struck him directly on the top of his head, shattering the ski. The referee called for the bell and “Barbie Girl” by Aqua began to play as Ken Doll stood tall in the middle of the ring.

Hudson: "Just what in the hell is this about? Why is Ken Doll sticking his pompous nose in this match?"

Striker: "He's sending a message here, Scott and that message was sent with of all things, a snow ski! I love it! That would be like me smashing a guy over the head with a dictionary! I love it!"

Hudson: "We get the picture, Matt, but Doll has brought an abrupt end to a great title match, one in which the fans were really starting to get into."

BACKSTAGE....

CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH AUSTIN PYROMANIA PACING AROUND IN FRUSTRATION WHEN SONI ARALYNN COMES UP WITH A MICROPHONE.

Soni Aralynn: "Austin.... Austin, Jim Cornette sent me over to find out what's going on. Is everything OK?"

Austin Pyromania: "No.... precious, everything is not OK. Where.is.Joe.Corey?"

Soni: "No idea, I haven't seen him tonight."

Pyromania: "You know what, I'm sick of this. He made it seem like he could do something for my career, and here I am just toiling away. I'm getting too old for this shit."

Soni: "Well, you did so no to his initial request."

Pyromania: "I thought it was all part of some stupid mind game he wanted to play. Corey and I have a lot of history together, much of which this viewing audience would never understand. Well I have a plan and whether Corey wants to be part of it or not, I don't care at this point. At the TWF Resurrection event, I am issuing a challenge to anyone. And when I say anyone, I mean anyone, whether they're in the TWF or not. Let's see if anyone is stupid enough to accept and if they do.... you'll see a side of me you've never seen before."

PYROMANIA STORMS OFF AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

"THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS AND MATT CRUZ ENTERS THE ARENA TO A GOOD POP. MIL MUERTES IS SHOWN IN THE RING WITH CATRINA AWAITING HIM.

Hudson: "I gotta say, Matt Striker, I think Joe Corey was screwing with Austin Pyromania all along."

Striker: "Well you gotta admit, things would be quite a bit different had Pyromania just agreed to become Corey's client months ago."

Hudson: "We've got a big match here between two men who were involved in the TWF Championship Chase and both men have been at odds ever since. Matt Cruz has had just as many run-ins with Catrina as he has this masked mad man Mil Muertes."

Matt Cruz vs. Mil Muertes w/ Catrina

As soon as the bell sounded, Cruz ducked a wild swing from Muertes and stung him with several quick jabs before hitting the ropes and rocking him with a clothesline. Muertes kept his feet and when Cruz ran the ropes again, Muertes hit him with a wheel kick, an impressive move for a man his size. He then mounted Cruz and smashed him with some stiff forearms but Cruz managed to roll out of it and get on top of Muertes, hammering with him some wild punches. The referee tried to separate the men but the brawl was becoming more and more out of control. With no alternative, the referee threw the match out after trying to get between the two men and catching an inadvertent backhand from one of the men.

Hudson: "The referee has thrown this thing out but Cruz and Mil Muertes want more of each other."

Striker: "That broke down in a hurry and looked much more like something we'd see here on the streets of Indiana, Scott."

Hudson: "Yes, those wild Indiana streets."

MR. TAYLOR's OFFICE...

Mr. Taylor is shown sitting at a large desk with papers neatly in piles on it. Behind him stands Sylvester Terkay and Gina Carano, both fitting in expensive looking suits. Across from Mr. Taylor sits the Young Bucks, almost comically far away from the desk. Their conversation was already in progress.

Mr. Taylor: Gentleman, that is my final offer. I think you will find this to be more than fair and compensate you both greatly."

The Bucks look at each other but no words come out before Gina Carano speaks up.

Gina Carano: "You have until Resurrection to decide. After that, this offer will expire and you will not be welcome in The Gold Standard."

Taylor grins while Carano speaks. He gestures to the door for The Bucks to leave. As the Bucks get up, Taylor gets a last word.

Mr. Taylor: "Matthew. Nicholas. Do what is best for you, your family, and your general well-being. I know I will be hearing from you soon."

The Bucks look at each other, but again no words as they exit.

Richard Ramsley and Kevin Thorn w/ Kris Wolf & Ariel vs. Sebastian Cain and Jason Oliver

Ramsley and Cain started this one out, and Ramsley started out challenging Cain to a test of strength. Once Cain got into stance, however, Ramsley smacked him hard across the face before scrambling over to Thorn and making the tag. Cain quickly gained the advantage over the big man, but a few minutes into the match, Oliver was practically begging for a tag, which Cain gave him. Oliver wasted no time going after his rival, bringing him down with a single leg take down before pummeling him with rights and lefts. Oliver continued to beat Thorn down, taking every opportunity to simply out-wrestle his bigger opponent. Ramsley had seen enough at this point, and simply jumped down off the apron, grabbed Wolf by the hand, and began trying to make his way to the back. Cain, however, also jumped down to the floor below, and cut him off. The two men stared each other down before erupting into a brawl! The two men were really laying into each other, fighting their way up the ramp and toward the back. Oliver, at this point was staring at both men, yelling at Cain to get back to the ring. While he was distracted, Thorn had recovered. He hit the unsuspecting Oliver in the back of the head with a nasty headbutt before lifting him up over the top ring rope. He then grabbed Oliver around the head and hit the "Dark Kiss", a move that left Oliver lying prone on the mat. Thorn slithered over into a cover as Ariel excitedly pounded the mat while the referee issued the 1......2......3.

Hudson: "Good night, what a move there from Kevin Thorn."

Striker: "Kevin Thorn has long been a force in the TWF and Jason Oliver is finding out he barked up the wrong tree by messing with the dark side of the TWF."

Hudson: "Well if fans know anything about Jason Oliver, they know he's resilient and he'll bounce back from this but look at this.... Ramsley and Cain are still going at it!"

RAMSLEY AND CAIN's FIGHT HAD SPILLED INTO THE CROWD. THE FANS PARTED TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE MEN WHEN SUDDENLY, KRIS WOLF CAME FROM BEHIND CAIN AND DROPPED HIM TO HIS KNEES WITH A KICK TO THE GROIN. RAMSLEY THEN SMOKED CAIN WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FACE.

Hudson: "Oh my gosh! What a sickening thud! I heard that over here!"

Striker: "Kris Wolf is paying dividends for Richard Ramsley and as a result, he's the man walking out of here in Hammond tonight!"

Hudson: "But who will walk out of Resurrection when these two do battle? I know one thing, Cain is going to have to figure out how to deal with Kris Wolf because she'll be in Ramsley's corner on that night."

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, SONI ARALYNN COMES UP TO DAMION WEST, WHO IS TALKING TO WADE BARRETT. SHE HANDS HIM AN ENVELOPE.

Soni Aralynn: "Uh... Damion, Mr. Cornette asked me to give you this."

Wade Barrett: "I'll catch ya later....

BARRETT STROLLS OFF AS WEST PEELS OPEN THE ENVELOPE AND BEGINS TO READ THE CONTENTS.

Damion West: "Son of a bitch.... that stupid race car driver is suing me?"

WEST GRINS BEFORE GOING INTO A WICKED LAUGH. HIS DEMEANOR THEN CHANGES AND HE HAS A VERY STRANGE LOOK ON HIS FACE.

BACK TO THE RING, GINA CARANO AND MONICA ARE READY FOR ONE-ON-ONE ACTION.

Gina Carano w/ Sylvester Terkay vs. Monica w/ Eddie Saint James

Monica was fired up, needing no more motivation to go after Gina Carano than the fact she attacked her during the Women's title tournament. But Carano didn't back down as her MMA background allowed her to come up with a counter right into a deep armbar. Monica worked her way to the ropes and then used the sole of her boot to kick Monica right in the face to earn a break. Monica went on the offensive and after delivering a running bulldog, had taken complete control of the match. That's when Sylvester Terkay decided to get involved, entering the ring and challenging The Saint to get in. The Saint obliged and the two began to trade blows but just as Terkay was able to knock him out of the ring with a clothesline, Carano charged at Monica and collided with The Manbear when Monica moved out of the way! Monica then rolled Carano up and got the 3 count for the win.

"THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE PLAYED AS MONICA CELEBRATED IN THE RING WITH THE SAINT. JUST THEN, MR. TAYLOR CAME OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A MICROPHONE.

Mr. Taylor: "Whoa... whoa... whoa. Before you two go gettin' too excited over the fact that you got by by stupid neanderthal, Sly, tonight. I just spoke with Mr. Cornette and Eddie.... you have a date with the pinnacle of this industry at Resurrection..... me!"

TAYLOR FLIPS THE MIC OVER HIS HEAD AND WALKS TO THE BACK.

Hudson: "Wow.... what an announcement."

Striker: "All of the disrespect that these two have displayed to The Gold Standard will be what The Saint gets to answer for at Resurrection."

Hudson: "That is going to be a very interesting match."

THE SHOT SWITCHES TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FANCY RESORT. CODY RHODES IS SHOWN WITH HIS SHIRT OFF, SITTING NEXT TO A POOL. HE's SIPPING ON A DRINK AND BRANDI RHODES IS BY HIS SIDE, IN HER BATHING SUIT.

Cody Rhodes: "The TWF World title is within my grasp and at Resurrection, I have a chance to go from a guy who was just the son of Dusty Rhodes to one of the best in the world. All I have to do is beat some guy who wears a hockey mask. Nails.... oh what a name. Is that supposed to scare people? Is your mask supposed to scare people? I wore a mask once. Then they thought I should hide behind facepaint and a ridiculous suit. But see, Nails, I always knew who I truly was and now.... it's all coming out. Who are you? No one knows. Do you even know? You think that you have some kind of advantage over everyone because of that but in reality, it's actually a huge weakness. That's why you've never made it to the top of this business despite how long you've been at it. And at Resurrection, it won't be me who will be getting exposed. No, I know who I truly am.... my wonderful wife.... knows who I truly am. Who are you Nails? Who are you? And more importantly, does anyone even care who you really are"?

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE COMBINATION OF ASHLEY K. AND KAYLA KARTER ARE IN THE RING. A NEW THEME SONG HITS AND THE TANDEM OF RACHEL ELLERING AND TESSA BLANCHARD COME OUT, FOLLOWED BY PAUL ELLERING.

Striker: "Cody Rhodes has a little confidence in him, wouldn't you say?"

Hudson: "He'll need more than confidence to overcome one of the top superstars in TWF history in Nails but now take a look at this. We saw Paul Ellering bring out these two lovely ladies on our last show nad he's got them ready for action tonight."

Striker: "Well one of those girls is his very own daughter, Rachel, and the other is the daughter of the legendary Tully Blanchard, a man who was once a part of the famed Four Horsemen. Having Paul Ellering lead these girls through their careers will bring them nothing buy good things, Scott."

Hudson: "Well the team of Kayla Karter and Ashley K. look ready to rain on the parade here."

Tessa Blanchard and Rachel Ellering w/ Paul Ellering vs. Kayla Karter and Ashley K.

From the outset, the team of Ellering and Blanchard showed much more cohesion, making frequent tags and showing off both great athleticism and in-ring ability. Ashley K. took one heck of a beating in the match but after catching Blanchard with a superkick after ducking a clothesline, she made it to her corner to slap the hand of Karter but Karter dropped down from the apron, refusing the tag. Ashley K. was shocked as the crowd began to boo Karter. She then got up and turned right into a belly-to-belly suplex from Blanchard. Ellering tagged into the match and showed off her former powerlifting background by lifting Ashley K. into a gorilla press and slamming her to the mat. She then went to the top rope and dove off with a flying knee, catching Ashley K. right across the throat. Ellering covered her and hooked the leg to get the 1.....2.......3.

Striker: "Now that's how you make your in-ring debut."

Hudson: "It became a two-on-one affair after Kayla Karter just left her partner high and dry in this one. That won't win her any respect in the women's locker room."

Striker: "Well that women's locker room just got put on notice by this team."

SUDDENLY, JIM CORNETTE EMERGES FROM THE BACK FLANKED BY FOUR WOMEN.

Jim Cornette: "How about a round of applause for what we just saw there. Great performance. Now Paul, you and I have known each other for quite some time and I'm sure you won't argue with your new team there having some new competition. So while WWE is busy putting together this so-called women's revolution, I'd like to build a great women's division myself. So I'd like to introduce you, Tessa and Rachel to the TWF's newest signings. Many Leon, Taeler Hendrix, Jazzy Gabert and Salina De La Renta."

Hudson: "Now that's what you call an eclectic group."

Striker: "Hey, I like it. The TWF is building a tremendous women's division."

OUTSIDE THE ARENA

CAMERAS PICK UP M.X. OGDEN WEARING A TETSUYA NAITO T-SHIRT. HE IS TALKING ON A CELL PHONE AND DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW THE CAMERAS ARE ON HIM.

M.X. Ogden: "Yeah, I'm here, but I'm not going to go inside. I've put my trust in you and if it comes through, it will turn this place upside down."

"Save Me" by Burn Halo plays as Jordan Rockwell makes his way out to a big pop from the crowd. He is with Chaos Wolf and Chris Tirpak.

Hudson: "We've got a match between Chaos Wolf and Carney here scheduled as tonight's main event but first, The Franchise looks like he's got something to say."

Rockwell gets a chair and Mic from ringside and gets in ring and sits down.

Jordan Rockwell: "I could come out here and I could raise my voice and make a scene but I'm not going to do that at all. I'm going to sit here and I'm going to talk to you guys, If that's OK with you."

The fans cheer.

As you folks know, I've got a family. I've got a wife and three kids and I'm also a professional wrestler and I have been for sixteen years so basically I've lived these two lives for so long that they've been intertwined for so long that when one shows up I see both. And the reason is because I started this journey inside this ring to provide for my oldest daughter never thinking for a moment that the need for a paycheck would turn into a passion and trust me other than my wife and my kids, I'm not more passionate about anything other than this business and this company. Fact is it frustrates the hell out of me having to deal with a tool like Money Mike who comes out here and disrespects everything I'm passionate about just because he thought he could get away with it cause he had protection to keep him safe and gave him a level of security to feel invisible. Mike you no longer have that at all. You're no longer secure and you're no longer safe and I have to say how fitting it is that we're going to meet at an event called Resurrection. Because on that night, on that night Mike, for all the disrespect and all that you've done you are going to pay cause on that night I'm going to bury you in that ring and I'm going to write your epitaph. And it will read, here lies Money Mike, the biggest waste of space in the history of humanity that chose the path he took and he payed for his sins.

Fans begin chanting Rockwell's name as he stands up and tosses the chair out of the ring.

Which brings me to the other reason I'm out here and that is because I know Mike, you're not man enough to face me by yourself so I reached out to a friend of mine and this person is going to be in my corner to make sure that street walker you claim is a woman regrets anything she does that night. So at this time I'd like to introduce to all of you a really good friend of mine and the newest members of the TWF and the woman that will be in my corner at Resurrection......

Rockwell pauses

Mia yim!" A song called "Burn the Block" plays as Mia Yim makes her to the ring to a good reaction from the crowd.

The crowd begins chants of "Mia Yim" as she and Rockwell hug.

Rockwell: "Mike, I know you're backstage! So you remember that you chose this path and at Resurrection, your time is up. Now get that chump Carney out here and Cris Henning, since I know he won't come out here on his own."

THE "EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" THEME COMES ON AND CARNEY COMES OUT ALONG WITH CRIS HENNING.

Hudson: "And right on cue, here they both come."

Striker: "Oh stop, Rockwell has three people out here with him, Scott."

Chaos Wolf w/ Jordan Rockwell, Chris Tirpak and Mia Yim vs. Carney w/ Cris Henning

There was a lot of bad blood between these two, and they had no problems showcasing that. Both men met in the center of the ring and began trading blows. Carney gained the early advantage by stomping on the foot of Wolf. From there, Carney began working the left leg of Wolf. Carney continued to press the advantage, hitting Wolf with a massive spinebuster before jumping up and dropping his knee across the face of Wolf. After ducking a clothesline and hitting Carney with a big elbow to the jaw, Wolf began to turn things around. He dished out some punishment of his own, performing a beautifully executed standing suplex, as well as a big knee square to Carney’s gut. Later on in the match, Chaos Wolf had gotten Carney into a tree of woe, and was using his boot to choke the life out of him. At this point, Tirpak had grabbed his kendo stick, and attempted to slide it into the ring corner opposite Wolf. However, the referee noticed this, and quickly grabbed the stick, throwing it back out of the ring. He then began to admonish Tirpak, threatening to eject him from the match. Wolf turned his attention from Carney and began to make his way over the the referee to try and calm the situation down. However, with both his and the referee’s backs turned, Henning had slid into the ring. He crept up behind Wolf before hitting him with a vicious low blow! Henning quickly slid out of the ring just before the referee turned around, and Carney, who had managed to get himself loose, nailed him with the “C-Drive!” Carney made the cover, and the referee counted the 1, 2, 3.

Striker: "He got him! What a win for Carney!"

Hudson: "Chaos Wolf and Chris Tirpak are heading into Resurrection set to try and capture the TWF tag team titles and this loss won't provide the kind of momentum they're looking for.... wait a minute, it's the Cleaner!"

THE FANS WENT BERSERK AS KENNY OMEGA HIT THE RING AND CLEANED HOUSE, KNOCKING CARNEY AND HENNING AROUND LIKE A COUPLE OF BALLS IN A PINBALL MACHINE. HE KNOCKED BOTH MEN OUT OF THE RING BEFORE ROCKWELL, TIRPAK, WOLF AND YIM JOINED HIM IN THE RING.

SUDDENLY, THE CROWDS CHEERS TURNED TO BOOS WHEN MONEY MIKE AND MYSTICAL APPEARED AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP.

Money Mike: "Wow, impressive. It took five of you to take out my boys tonight. But you know what's funny, just when everyone thinks The Empire is crumbling, they forget what Money Mike is all about. I'm always ready, Rockwell. And Omega.... I know you're thinking you're the X-factor. I mean, you certainly were tonight. But just remember, I have friends in high places too."

CARNEY AND HENNING JOIN MIKE AND MYSTICAL AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP, LICKING THEIR WOUNDS.

SUDDENLY, AN IMAGE OF THE STARMAN APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND THE GROUP INSIDE THE RING JUST GAZES AT IT AS MONEY MIKE, MYSTICAL, CARNEY AND HENNING HEAD BACKSTAGE.

Hudson: "Oh boy.........
