AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, THE REPLAY OF SEAN O'HAIRE's SPEECH IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK. ALL 4 MEMBERS OF THE NEW BREED ARE THEN SHOWN, SURROUNDED BY ALL THE MEN O'HAIRE WAS TALKING TO. RHYNO, HEIDENREICH, NAILS, LUTHER REIGNS AND RENE DUPREE. THAT LEADS INTO THE MONTAGE VIDEO AND THE PLAYING OF "RAP SUPERSTAR".

ROBERTS STADIUM COMES INTO THE SHOT AND MICHAEL COLE IS SHOWN AT THE RINGSIDE BROADCAST POSITION SEATED NEXT TO JESSE VENTURA. BOTH ARE WEARING BLACK SUITS WITH ORANGE BOW TIES.

Michael Cole: "Hello everyone and welcome to PrimeTime and tonight, we have a huge show in store"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN. ON ONE SIDE IS DYLAN JANSENS AND ON THE OTHER IS ROB VAN DAM.

Jesse Ventura: "I can't wait for tonight's main event Michael! After already losing the first phase of his own Dragon's Lair Challenge, Dylan Jansens must face Rob Van Dam right here tonight"!

THE ULTIMO DRAGON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE REACTION. BEHIND HIM IS A.J. STYLES. THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE SHINES OFF ULTIMO's WAIST AS FLAMES SHOOT UP FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP.

Cole: "That will be one of Jansens' toughest challenges to date Jesse but what better way to start the night off with than tag team lightheavyweight action"?!

Ventura: "A.J. Styles teaming up with Ultimo Dragon is sure to get these people excited Michael but they will be up against an established team here".

AKIO AND SAKODA's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD RESPONDS WITH BOOS AS THEY COME OUT, WALKING CONFIDENTLY TO THE RING.

Cole: "Last week on PrimeTime, Akio defeated Ultimo Dragon in a non-title match, albeit with help from Sakoda".

Ventura: "And another win here would be huge for these two Michael"!

Cole: "As you mentioned, this is the first time Styles and the Dragon have teamed together but their dynamic styles combined will be as amazing as anything we've ever seen in the TWF"!

Ultimo Dragon and A.J. Styles vs. Akio and Sakoda

The bell sounded to start things off and both Akio and Sakoda were all over Styles and Ultimo. But they both reversed irish whips and caught them with simultaneous dropkicks to turn the tide. Ultimo stayed in the ring with Sakoda and after a jumping spin kick, Ultimo tossed him through the ropes to the floor. Styles then tagged in and launched himself over the top rope with a shooting star-like plancha that effectively took both men out. Referee Chris Kay reached an 8 count before Styles rolled back into the ring, followed by Sakoda. After they crawled to their respective corners, tags were made on both sides. Akio jumped into the ring but Ultimo beat him to the punch and began slapping his chest with open hands. He then shot him to the ropes and went for a monkey flip but Akio stopped his momentum and kicked Ultimo in the stomach. He then turned and hit Styles with a cheap shot but Styles came into the ring, only to be held up by Kay. Sakoda then took this as an oppuruntity to come up from behind Ultimo and he and Akio used a high-low back footsweep takedown and Akio covered him as Kay turned to make the 3 count.

Match Time: 2:28

Ventura: "Look at that Michael! Two weeks in a row now"!

AKIO AND SAKODA LEFT QUICKLY TO THEIR MUSIC AND A LOT OF BOOS.

Cole: "A huge tag team win for Akio and Sakoda here but you're right Jesse, Akio owns back to back pinfall victories over the Lightheavyweight champion"!

Ventura: "And the way I look at it, he should be the number one contender for that very title now"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.....

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA OF ROBERTS STADIUM, A HEATED ARGUMENT HAS BROKEN OUT BETWEEN THE MILLION DOLLAR TEAM AND TED DIBIASE IS TRYING TO GET BETWEEN THEM.

Nick Dinsmore: "He's not putting the team first"!

Ted Dibiase: "Come on Nick, let it go"!

Rob Conway: "Let's go Ted! I'm gonna show him that I can be successful on my own"!

CONWAY WALKS OFF AND DIBIASE FOLLOWS AFTER GIVING DINSMORE A LOOK.

ANOTHER PROMO GRAPHIC IS DISPLAYED, THIS ONE PREVIEWING THE TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH SET FOR LATER.

Cole: "Not sure what's going on with the Million Dollar Team but later tonight, the tag team titles will be decided when War on America challenges Strife and Bahamut, don't go away"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR M & M's IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE 4TH SEASON OF AMERICAN IDOL.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, EDGE IS SITTING IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN TRACI BROOKS COMES OUT.

Traci Brooks: "Hey there, how are you feeling"?

Edge: "I'm fine, what's it to you"?

Traci: "I just didn't like what I saw last week, I was concerned, that's all.

SHE TRIED TO PUT HER HAND ON HIS CHEST AND HE MOVED IT AWAY.

Geez, lighten up".

Edge: "Look, after I beat the living hell out of Axl Irvin.... maybe I'll lighten up"!

EDGE WALKS AWAY AND TRACI JUST SMILES.

IN THE RING IS ROB CONWAY WITH TED DIBIASE AND "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" IS PLAYING.

Cole: "We're back here on PrimeTime Jesse and I think it's safe to say that Edge has a clear focus".

Ventura: "After the beating he took a week ago, it's hard to believe he even knows where he is Michael"!

Cole: "Well right before we went to break, Ted Dibiase was trying to defuse a situation between his tag team but this will be a singles match involving Rob Conway and it will actually be a rematch from Uprising last week".

"619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE RAMP TO A VERY BIG RESPONSE.

Ventura: "That match ended in a double count out Michael but if you ask me, that argument between Conway and Dinsmore seemed to be over the fact that Conway is ready for a singles career"!

Cole: "Conway and Dinsmore have been friends and partners for years but a win here over Mysterio would be a huge step in that direction"!

Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Rey Mysterio

The speed of Mysterio seemed to be way too much for Conway. After several quick kicks, Mysterio hit the ropes and ducked a clothesline to come back with a springboard dropkick. After a snap mare, Rey hit the ropes again for a basement dropkick and made the cover but Conway kicked out at 2. Moments later, Conway finally got into the match when he caught Rey with a powerslam and then a big elbow drop. He then twisted Rey around, looking for a neckbreaker drop but Rey countered with a backslide to get a 1.......2......, but Conway was out. Rey charged at him but ran into a hard clothesline. Conway then distracted referee Mike Enos as Dibiase choked Rey using the bottom rope. Conway then lifted him onto his shoulder but Rey slipped off and dropkicked him in the back of the leg. After a drop toehold put Conway over the middle rope, Rey hit the crowd pleasing 6-1-9. He then called out for the "West Coast Pop" but Conway avoided one of wrestling's most exciting finishers by stepping up. He then grabbed Rey in the "Million Dollar Dream" and a huge smile came from Dibiase. Conway had it cinched in and Enos dropped the right arm of Mysterio 3 times to give Conway a surprising win.

Match Time: 11:20

Ventura: "The Million Dollar Dream! The move Ted Dibiase made his career with has just been used by Rob Conway to win a match"!

"MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYED AND DIBIASE HANDED CONWAY A CRISP $100 BILL. CONWAY THEN TOOK A PAGE OUT OF DIBIASE's BOOK AND JAMMED IT INTO REY's MOUTH AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOED.

Cole: "And there's the famous calling card of the Million Dollar Man! It looks as though Rob Conway has decided to pattern his career after the man who has guided him for quite some time now"!

Ventura: "And he couldn't have picked a much better man to follow than Dibiase! I like what I'm seeing here"!

BACKSTAGE......

IDALIS IS PUT ON CAMERA, SMILING AS ALWAYS.

Idalis: "My guest at this time is none other than Muhammed Hassan.

THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW HASSAN AND TIGER ALI SINGH AND THE EVANSVILLE CROWD REALLY GIVES IT TO THEM.

Mr. Hassan, many of these fans would like to know, now that you have been in the TWF for some time now, have you changed any of your negative views"?

Muhammed Hassan: "Negative views? Who are they negative to Idalis? Because they're definitely not negative to me. Tiger Ali Singh and I are both here for one reason and one reason only, to show this narrow minded country that there is so much to be seen, if you just open your eyes. You people only see what you want to see.... not what's really there. Therefore, Tiger and I would like.....

JUST THEN, KID GUNDAM COMES UP.

Kid Gundam: "That's enough! Ya know, a couple years ago I would've stood right by you Hassan, agreeing with every word you are saying. But I am not gonna stand for it any longer"!

Hassan: "You wouldn't have stood next to me, because I am too proud to have someone who doesn't know his own idenity share my beliefs. It is people like you that give people like me a bad name. But Gundam, the difference between you and I is I know who I am. I know what my purpose is and I understand what message to convey. You don't see me wearing face paint. And even though these people have already stereotyped me just because I am of arab descent, I will not hide from anyone".

Gundam: "Is that so? Well if you are so confident and you are so proud, then why do you associate yourself with a proven pompous jackass like the one behind you there"?

TIGER ALI SINGH's EYES SEEM READY TO BULGE OUT OF HIS HEAD AFTER THE COMMENT BUT HASSAN RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND THAT GUNDAM WASN'T EXPECTING. AFTER RAMMING HIM INTO A NEARBY WALL AND THEN THROWING HIM OVER TABLE, HASSAN GIVES WAY TO SINGH WHO KICKS GUNDAM RIGHT IN THE FACE.

Cole: "Somebody get back there and stop this! Where the hell is security"?!

Ventura: "It seems to me we deal with this more than we need to Michael! There is always somebody running around this show trying to downgrade the United States and if I were in charge, guys like those two scumbags would be looking for work elsewhere"!

"BOTTOM LINE" BY SWOLLEN MEMBERS HITS AND JASON TIGER OLIVER COMES TO THE RING.

Cole: "Well I gotta agree with ya there Jess, that attack was totally uncalled for and we can only hope that Kid Gundam is okay. But out now is Jason Tiger Oliver, one of the new superstars PrimeTime has attracted lately and what a match between he and Chaos Wolf last week".

Ventura: "It was a great match Cole. And even though he came up short, I see a lot of potential in this guy".

ESSA RIOS' MUSIC HITS AND HE RUNS TO THE RING TO A DECENT CHEER.

Cole: "It's been well documented that he was working as a stuntman before coming to the TWF but he does have quite a bit of athletic ability and he gets a chance to showcase that on center stage right here".

Ventura: "This is a favorable matchup in for him in my opinion Michael and I'm interested to see what he can do".

Jason Tiger Oliver vs. Essa Rios

Right as the bell rang, Oliver got Rios in his clutches and used his size and power advantage to wear down the fiery red head. After ducking a clothesline, Rios was able to connect with a spinning wheel kick. He then grabbed Oliver's arm and ran up the turnbuckle before flipping off into a nice armdrag. Rios then went to the top rope and came off with his moonsault but Oliver rolled out of the way. He then picked him up for a big gutwrench suplex and he had things well under control, following with a legdrop. He then shot Rios to the ropes and lifted him into the air with a backbody drop but Rios landed on his feet. Oliver charged with a running boot but Rios ducked and jumped off the middle ring rope, connecting with a corkscrew attack and landing on Oliverm, grabbing one of his legs as referee Charles Robinson made the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:40

Cole: "He got him! Jason Oliver has just taken his second defeat"!

Ventura: "That was a lucky win for Rios Michael, no way he could do that again"!

AS RIOS GOT TO HIS FEET IN VICTORY, OLIVER SMASHED HIM WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, KNOCKING HIM COLD. OLIVER THEN FELL TO HIS KNEES AND YELLED IN ANGER.

Cole: "Oliver is obviously frustrated with the result but there's no call for that! Essa Rios has been flattened"!

Ventura: "Well think about it Michael, Oliver has been told and told that he had what it takes, that he's special and he's a rare breed but so far, he hasn't lived up to expectations and he knows it"!

OLIVER WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP TO A CHORUS OF BOOS, COVERING HIS EYES WITH BOTH HANDS.

A HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE SHOWS CLIPS OF MEN FIGHTING IN DEATH DEFYING SITUATIONS, JUMPING FROM HIGH ELEVATIONS AND THROUGH FLAMING TABLES, HITTING ONE ANOTHER WITH BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BATS AND FALLING TO FLOORS FILLED WITH TACKS.

Audio Voiceover: "Death defying.......... out of control.......... no fear! From the land down under comes the most fearless man the wrestling world has ever seen..........

FEAR IS ONLY A FOUR LETTER WORD!

COMING SOON TO PRIMETIME!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR SPRITE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR SNICKERS.

RETURN FROM BREAK...

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, OFFICIALS ARE TRYING TO BREAK A SITUATION THAT HAS ERUPTED BETWEEN CHAOS WOLF AND RICK CLARK, APPARENTLY OVER GUNDAM.

INSIDE THE ARENA, FANS GO INTO SOME VERY HEAVY BOOING AS WAR ON AMERICA's MUSIC HITS AND THEIR BLACK FLAG WAVES PROMINENTLY AS THEY HEAD TO THE RING.

Cole: "Folks we can tell you that during the commercial break, Chaos Wolf confronted Rick Clark about the attack Muhammad Hassan and Tiger Ali Singh committed against Kid Gundam earlier tonight. Rick Clark responded with Gundam deserved it because of what he said last week about how good this country is"!

Ventura: "As far as I'm concerned Clark is the lowest of the low Cole! He knows what it's like to fight for America.... to go to battle for his country and now he badmouths it?! Rick Clark has an ass whoopin' comin' his way, there's no doubt about it"!

Cole: "And here come some guys that probably think Clark is a real hero, Aries and Hirohito".

Ventura: "It makes me sick every time I see these guys and that black flag. But Shane McMahon asked me to be as partial as I can Cole so I won't take it and stick it where I really want to.... at least not tonight"!

"BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS, BRINGING STRIFE AND BAHAMUT OUT TO A ROARING CHEER. THEY BOTH HOLD THEIR TAG TEAM TITLES IN THE AIR.

Cole: "Last week when the New Breed was in charge, Jordan Rockwell made this match on the basis of War on America's argument that Strife and Bahamut didn't beat them at War in the Winter, instead pinning the Million Dollar Team"!

Ventura: "Strife and Bahamut possess a hard to believe win-loss record Michael, especially when those titles are on the line and personally, I don't think War on America stands a chance"!

Cole: "Neither Aries or Hirohito have held gold in the TWF and this might be their best chance to date".

TWF Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: War on America vs. Strife and Bahamut

Before the bell sounded, the hateful challengers attacked Strife and Bahamut, forcing them into an early hole. Strife and Bahamut began to fight back after taking some hard shots but Hirohito used a lowbridge of the top rope to take Strife out of the ring. Aries then took Bahamut out with a chop block from behind that buckled his knee. Aries then went to his corner as Hirohito took it to Bahamut who was having trouble getting to his feet. After a headbutt, Hirohito smashed Bahamut with 3 hard knifedge chops but when he went for an irish whip, Bahamut reversed it. Hirohito tried to come off the ropes with a cross body block but Bahamut caught him and turned it into a fallaway slam. Bahamut tried to get to his corner as Hirohito tagged out but Aries came into the ring and pulled Bahamut back in, dropping an elbow on the back of his head. After pulling Bahamut up, Aries teed off on him with some open handed plam strikes. He then shot Bahamut to the ropes but an enraged Bah just trampled him with a clothesline. The surge of adrenaline allowed Bahamut to tag out and Strife came into the ring. He pulled Aries up and shot him to the ropes but Aries ducked a clothesline and Hirohito made a blind tag. War on America then combined to put the Locomotive down with a double backdrop suplex. Hirohito then used a few Mongolian chops but Strife seemed to be gaining power as he got to his feet. Hirohito continued to throw shots at him until Strife finally blocked one and fired back with a right hand that put the bronze warrior down on the mat. Aries came into the ring with a double sledge to the back of Strife but it seemed to do nothing. He hit the ropes but Strife grabbed him and lifted him high above his head, gorilla press slamming him all the way out of the ring to the floor! After a big running boot on Hirohito, Strife made the tag to Bahamut who came in and used a move we have gone some time without seeing, What Legends are Made of on Hirohito and he went into the cover as referee Mike Chioda counted the 1........2.......3.

RAMPAGE REPLAY

SHOWS THE "MEETING OF THE MINDS" BETWEEN BRADSHAW AND DREW BLOOD THAT TOOK PLACE BEFORE RAMPAGE CONCLUDED.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, RICK MARTEL IS ON THE SET OF THE FASHION SHOW WITH A MICROPHONE.

Cole: "For once I can honestly say I'm looking forward to the Fashion Show Jesse"!

Rick Martel: "Now before all you uneducated people of Evansville go and boo, I want you to consider what I've done for you tonight. Because right here on the Fashion Show, I am going to present the man who will announce his new year's resolution for winning the New Year's battle royale. A man of style and a man of class.... please give it up for Mike Austin"!

"EVOLUTION" BY MOTORHEAD PLAYS AND AUSTIN COMES OUT WITH RIC FLAIR. AUSTIN IS WEARING A PURPLE, FLAIR-LIKE ROBE.

Cole: "Did he get that thing from Flair"?

Ventura: "Well if he did, he should be proud. Ya know Cole, only an idiot would knock Flair instead of recognizing everything he has done for our business"!

Cole: "I didn't say I don't respect him, but there's no question he has been in Mike Austin's ear and it's just frustrating to know that whatever decision Austin has made, it's not one hundred percent his decision"!

Ventura: "Do you know that?! Do you know that for a fact Michael?! Then put a sock in it will ya"?!

Martel: "Okay, Mike, Nature Boy, the world is waiting, what have you come up with"?

Ric Flair: "WOOOOOOOO!

THE CROWD MIMMICKS HIM AND DOES IT BACK.

Ya know something Rick Martel, it feels good to be the Nature Boy! But not as good as it feels to be Mike Austin! The new, wheelin', dealin, kiss stealin' son of a gun! Mike has something he wants to let you all know so listen, cause he's only gonna say it once"!

MIKE AUSTIN TAKES THE MIC AND NEARLY ALL OF THE FANS BOO.

Mike Austin: "When I won the New Year's battle royale, tons of emotions went through my mind. I've come up with some great ideas, but there's only one that really stuck. Shane McMahon told me I couldn't directly benefit from the decision, that it was to pertain to PrimeTime as a whole. Well, I think I've found the answer. I think I've found it in one man. Ya see, I have convinced Shane to give one man a limited contract. A man who owes me an explantion.... an explantion for not treating me for who I am....... family! Now I know all you guys like him, but I don't. So Steve....... Steve Austin..... I'm talking to you"!

THE CROWD ALMOST COMES UNGLUED.

Cole: "No way! No way"!

Austin: "When I was little, Steve knew what I wanted to do with my life, but he told me and told me I wasn't good enough, told me I couldn't succeed. So Steve, if you accept this contract, you can try and prove that I'm not good enough...... yourself"!

Ventura: "I can't believe what I am hearing Michael! Stone Cold Steve Austin"!

Austin: "Oh, and one other thing, from now on..... Austin 3:16 just means...... Mike Austin is a badass and Steve Austin is....... (short pause) a bitch"!

"EVOLUTION" HITS AGAIN AND AUSTIN LEAVES THE SET OF THE FASHION SHOW WITH A JUBILANT FLAIR.

Cole: "Wow, Steve Austin, if you're watching, those were fighting words"!

Ventura: "So in other words, Mike Austin has asked Shane McMahon to let his uncle Steve come back to the TWF just so he can beat him? I like that, I like that a lot"!

Cole: "Mike Austin complained of not having Stone Cold's attention before but if he was watching, I think he just got it"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO, NOW WITH NO LATE FEES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.....

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE TANDEM OF LUTHER REIGNS AND NAILS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE RING. NAILS IS CARRYING THE HARDCORE TITLE AS THE CAMERA SHOT ZOOMS INTO ONE OF THE HOLES OF HIS HOCKEY MASK.

Cole: "Tag team action on the way here as we move on with PrimeTime and last week, we heard Sean O'Haire's declaration of a revolt against the New Breed".

Ventura: "And I'm glad you brought that up Michael because O'Haire is right, the New Breed is trying to take our show over and he is going to stand in their way, he and several others"!

"TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND IT BRINGS OUT CHRIS TIRPAK AND CHAOS WOLF TO A LIVELY POP.

Cole: "Two of the men that O'Haire addressed in that closed door meeting last week was Luther Reigns and Nails and when you couple that with the recent history between Nails and Chris Tirpak, we have a fight on our hands here"!

Ventura: "This match will be a good indicator of just how this fight is going to go for the New Breed Michael, you just watch"!

Luther Reigns and Nails vs. Chris Tirpak and Chaos Wolf

To turn the tables, it was the New Breed who got the jump on the opposition, attacking them before the bell rang. They were certainly out to make a statement but that statement took a hit when Nails drilled Chaos Wolf with his belt as referee Charles Robinson tried to get Tirpak out of the ring. Luther then stomped at Wolf before picking him up in a double chokehold and throwing him into the corner. Nails came in and took some shots at the kidneys of Wolf before dropping him with a headbutt. Wolf was in a lot of trouble as Luther came back in. Together they shot him to the ropes but Wolf ducked a double clothesline and hit a double dropkick. All 3 men were down as Wolf tried to get to his corner. Nails got up and charged with a clothesline but Wolf ducked and made a diving tag to Tirpak. Tirpak lifted Nails up onto his shoulders and just dumped him to the floor. Luther caught him with a kick to the chest before whipping him to the corner and following in with a clothesline. Luther then went to hit Wolf with a cheap shot but Wolf blocked it and pulled him down over the top rope with a hangman. Tirpak then came with a clothesline and took the big man out of the ring. Meanwhile, the legal man Nails came back into the ring with 2 forearms to the small of Tirpak's back. Nails went for an irish whip but Tirpak reversed it right into a front facelock and then drove him into the mat with the "New Jersey Turnpike and rolled him over to get the 1....2........3.

Match Time: 7:46

Cole: "And he got him! Nails has just been felled by the New Jersey Turnpike and what a win for the New Breed"!

"TNT" BLARED AGAIN AS WOLF AND TIRPAK LEFT, SLAPPING HANDS WITH THE FANS.

Ventura: "Listen to these people"!

Cole: "You said this would be an indicator match for the New Breed and if that's true Jesse, the New Breed is on the right track to fight off this united front"!

Ventura: "They won this battle Michael but there will be many, many more"!

FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION, AXL IRVIN AND ORLANDO JORDAN ARE SHOWN AT A TABLE, SITTING ACROSS FROM SOMEONE.

Axl Irvin: "Things are going exactly as planned".

Orlando Jordan: "They sure are..... good work".

IRVIN AND JORDAN EACH LIFT A GLASS OF WINE FOR A TOAST AND THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW NONE OTHER THAN TRACI BROOKS, WHO SMILES AND GLADLY ACCEPTS THE TOAST.

Traci Brooks: "Thank you".

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP ON THE SCREEN WITH THE ULTIMO DRAGON ON ONE SIDE AND CHAVO GUERRERO ON THE OTHER.

Cole: "I knew that woman was up to something, somebody needs to tell Edge"!

Ventura: "No, somebody needs to tell our fans about the Lightheavyweight title match that was just made for next week"!

Cole: "That's right fans, right here next week, Ultimo Dragon will put the title on the line against the former champion, Chavo Guerrero! But that's not all, check this out!

ANOTHER PROMO IS DISPLAYED.

Just signed for next week, all four members of the New Breed will team up to meet War on America, Muhammed Hassan and Rick Clark, four men with a lot in common"!

Ventura: "And I hate all four of them but what did I tell ya Cole? There would be many more battles and is it just me, or are the odds quickly stacking up against the New Breed"?!

RENE DUPREE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE LOVELY DAWN MARIE. BOTH ARE SPITEFULLY BOOED.

Cole: "It certainly seems that way but they are a group and they will not back down, I think that's been proven"!

Ventura: "Here comes a guy I can't seem to figure out. Sometimes he looks great and sometimes he looks out of place in that ring Michael"!

Cole: "Rene Dupree is still one of the youngest men in the TWF though Jesse and his future is as bright as any. But one thing that is never in question is the fact that Dawn Marie is hot"!

"BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE KICKS UP AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT AS HIS GOLDEN PYRO SPLASHES FROM ABOVE.

Ventura: "Yeah, like she'd even give you the time of day Cole! Ya know, I wonder what old Randy Orton thought about the new year's resolution chosen by Mike Austin earlier".

Cole: "Well I'm still wondering what to think about it and for those of you who missed it, Stone Cold Steve Austin has basically been invited back to the TWF by his nephew, Mike Austin"!

Ventura: "But not on good terms Michael, this seems personal".

Cole: "It may not be personal between Randy Orton and Rene Dupree but each man would love to beat the other here as we inch closer to the Royal Rumble in Columbus, Ohio"!

Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie vs. Randy Orton

These two treated the crowd to one hell of a bout and one that will probably be seen many times over the years. After an initial tie up, it was Dupree who recovered from a european uppercut and smacked Orton with a nice dropkick. After a delay vertical suplex that put Dupree's power on display, he shot Orton to the corner but ran into a back elbow when he followed in. Orton then shot Dupree to the ropes, connecting with an even better dropkick before playing to the crowd and giving Dawn Marie a wink of the eye. He pulled Dupree up but using Orton's trunks, he flung him throat first into the ring ropes. Rene then used his knee to hold Orton down, challenging referee Brain Hebner's 5 count. Dupree then decided to have some words with Hebner which allowed Dawn to come around and give him a harsh slap across the face. From this point, it was all Dupree. He delivered a gutwrench suplex but could only get a 2 count. Then, after a big powerbomb, he first did his French Tickler dance before going into another pin but Orton got a shoulder up just in time. Things were looking pretty dim for Orton until he was able to avoid a clothesline and caught Dupree with a DDT. He then measured him for the "RKO" and when Dupree got up, he grabbed him around the head and neck, looking for it. But Dupree had it scouted, pushing Orton to the ropes and hitting a big back elbow. Orton grabbed at his nose as Dupree picked him up. Dupree then bounced off the near side of the ropes but Orton recovered to catch him with a high and tight powerslam and he hooked the legs good as Hebner made the 3 count. Dawn Marie was in disbelief as Orton celebrated while "Burn in my Light" played again.

Match Time: 11:19

Cole: "The look on the face of Dawn Marie says it all and Orton has earned another win"!

Ventura: "You brought up the Royal Rumble Michael and heading into that, Randy Orton has got to be considered one of the favorites"!

Cole: "It starts with the number you draw and as was announced earlier this week on Rampage, Travis Wakeman will make his return at the Royal Rumble, in the Rumble match itself"!

Ventura: "And not only that Cole, but we have been told that this year, the man who wins will be able to select which champion he wants to face at WrestleMania"!

Cole: "So for instance, if say Randy Orton were to win it, he could face the World champion from Rampage at WrestleMania six"!

Ventura: "That's gonna be great"!

PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL....... BACKSTAGE......

ROB VAN DAM IS GETTING LOOSE FOR HIS MATCH WHEN CHARLIE HAAS COMES UP.

Charlie Haas: "So Rob, you ready for the Dragon's Lair challenge"?

Rob Van Dam: "What do you think"?

Haas: "Well in case you missed it, I won the first round last week and at the Royal Rumble, I am gonna get the title shot I've long deserved. No pressure though, just stay cool".

RVD: "Oh come on, you should know by now. Everything's cool when you're R-V-D".

THE CROWD CHANTS ALONG AS RVD WALKS AWAY, LEAVING HAAS TO JUST SHAKE HIS HEAD.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR KFC IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "PRECINCT 13".

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, IDALIS IS SHOWN IN THE RING WITH RHYNO AND THEY ARE STANDING NEAR SEVERAL WEIGHTS.

Ventura: "What in the world is going on out here"?

Cole: "I'm not sure, let's find out".

Rhyno: "Now a lot of you may not know this, but we've got a new guy who things he's pretty tough shit around here! His name is Rome and he claims that he holds the benchpress record in the middle east! Well, I'm out here tonight to challenge that theory and I'm gonna show him that no rookie is gonna come in here and try and make a name for themselves by beating guys like Tajiri and Paul London! They're gonna have to earn it! So if you're back there Rome...... this is a challenge and you better hope you accept"!

RHYNO TOSSES THE MIC DOWN AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, ROME's MUSIC HITS. HE IS HOLDING A WEIGHT BELT AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Ventura: "He's gonna accept it Cole"!

Cole: "Well I'm not sure what Rhyno is trying to do here, but I have read several times that Rome does in fact hold that record"!

Ventura: "Well now he's gotta prove it cause Rhyno has called him out"!

Idalis: "Okay Rome, Rhyno has four hundred pounds placed on here and he says he can lift it ten times. Can we get a spotter out here"?

TWF AGENT TOM BRANDI COMES OUT AND GETS INTO THE RING TO SPOT. RHYNO LIFTS THE 400 POUNDS TEN TIMES AND DOES SO FAIRLY EASILY. HE POPS UP OFF THE BENCH WITH A WILD, EXCITED YELL AND GETS IN ROME's FACE.

Rhyno: "Beat that chump"!

Ventura: "That was impressive Michael".

Cole: "And now this is getting intense cause it looks to me like Rome is asking for more weight".

Idalis: "He's asking for more"!

ROME STOPS AFTER BRANDI HAS SET 550 POUNDS ON THE BAR. ROME GETS ON THE BENCH AND PRESSES THE WEIGHT 15 TIMES TO THE AMAZEMENT OF THE CROWD.

Cole: "Are you kidding me?! That was unreal"!

Ventura: "Wait a minute, from behind"!

FROM BEHIND, A FRUSTRATED RHYNO ATTACKS ROME AND THEN WHIPS HIM WITH THE WEIGHT BELT. BUT WHEN HE CHARGES IN, ROME LIFTS HIM HIGH INTO THE AIR WITH A BACKBODY DROP AND RHYNO SMACKS THE FLOOR.

Cole: "That didn't work either! This Rome is a beast Jesse"!

Ventura: "I must agree with you Cole and if I were Rhyno, I'd lick my wounds and try again next time"!

THE RING CREW HITS THE RING TO CLEAR EVERYTHING OUT AS RHYNO LEAVES. THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON THE BROADCAST POSITION.

Cole: "Well Jesse up next is round two of the Dragon's Lair challenge and this should be a beauty. Former Universal champion Rob Van Dam and Dylan Jansens".

Ventura: "Well it's one I know I and everyone else watching has waited all night to see. Dylan Jansens is just gonna have to hope that this round goes better than the first round"!

Cole: "We knew going in that Jansens would face one, two or even three people at the Royal Rumble. Anyone who can either defeat him or last fifteen minutes in a match with him will earn that shot but there's one key Body".

"ONE OF A KIND" HITS AND PYRO POUNDS OFF EVERYWHERE AS THE CROWD COMES TO IT's FEET.

Ventura: "There sure is Michael and that is the fact that at the Royal Rumble, all these qualifiers will face Jansens in a Dragon's Lair match"!

Cole: "There has only been one Dragon's Lair match in TWF history but it is one we won't forget, it was even selected match of the year for 2004"!

"OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT HITS AND DYLAN JANSENS COMES OUT WEARING THE UNIVERSAL TITLE TO A LOUD, RESPECTABLE POP.

Ventura: "And 2005 will be off to a torrid start with that match Michael, the question is, how many superstars will be involved"?

Cole: "RVD is gonna try and join the list tonight but Jansens is not gonna give this one up easily after last week's tough loss to Charlie Haas".

Non-Title/Dragon's Lair Challenge Round 2

Rob Van Dam vs. Universal Champ Dylan Jansens

The match started off with a handshake but RVD threw a quick kick that Jansens caught. However, RVD was able to use his other foot to roll Jansens up to get a 1.......2......., but that was it. Jansens seemed surprised he almost gave it away in 10 seconds and he tried to settle things down with a waistlock after a tie up. RVD broke free by catching him with a back elbow and then he hit the ropes, using a somersault to avoid a clothesline. RVD then popped up and smoked Jansens with a jumping spin kick and he had the champion rattled. RVD then shot him to the ropes and followed in, looking for a monkey flip. But Jansens cleverly countered by holding the middle rope and RVD fell hard to the mat. Jansens then exploded out of the corner with a wheel kick before locking RVD in a dragon sleeper. RVD was trying to move himself to the ropes to break the hold but DJ had great position. So Van Dam resorted to using his knee to smash the head of Jansens and the hold was broken. RVD then pulled him up for a float over suplex and another 2 count. But when he went for his springboard moonsault, Jansens was waiting with his knees to the gut and then a big DDT. Jansens made the cover but RVD kicked him off after a short 2 count. After an inverted atomic drop, Jansens went to the middle turnbuckle and tried to come off with a tornado DDT but RVD caught him and threw him across the ring. He then threw a spin kick to surprise him but DJ was ready, avoiding the contact. But RVD was able to get him off his feet with a back footsweep and he then hit the ropes and as Jansens got back up, he plowed over him with a crossbody block. But using his momentum against him, DJ was able to roll through it right into a cover and he had the leg tightly hooked as referee Chioda made a quick 3 count.

Match Time: 6:25

Ventura: "Did he get him"?

"OVER MY HEAD" HIT AND CHIODA RAISED JANSENS' HAND.

Cole: "He sure did and what a momentous win that is for Jansens as he has kept that match at the Royal Rumble one on one"!

JANSENS EXTENDED HIS HAND AND RVD SHOOK IT IN A TREMENDOUS SHOW OF RESPECT THAT THE CROWD LOVED.

Ventura: "Disappointing loss for RVD but Jansens was the better man on this night".

Cole: "Look, here comes Jordan Rockwell".

JORDAN ROCKWELL WAS SHOWN WALKING DOWN THW AISLE AND HE PATTED RVD ON THE BACK BEFORE GETTING IN THE RING AND CONGRATULATING JANSENS. HE THEN ASKED FOR THE HOUSE MIC.

Ventura: "We haven't seen or heard from Rockwell yet tonight Michael but it seems we're about to".

Jordan Rockwell: "Congrats to DJ here and what a night for the New Breed huh?

THE CROWD CHEERS

But it's about to get better. So Sean O'Haire, why don't you come on down here cause I've got some information for ya"!

Ventura: "What information? Don't do it O'Haire"!

SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. HE HAS THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE WITH HIM.

Cole: "Sean O'Haire is going to accept this invitation but I'm curious too.... what information"?

Rockwell: "Last week I told you that Shane McMahon and I would find a challenger for your little belt there and we did........ (he gets in O'Haire's face) me"!

Ventura: "What"?!

Cole: "But look at O'Haire..... he's laughing"!

O'HAIRE SMILED AS HE WAS NOSE TO NOSE WITH ROCKWELL AND SUDDENLY, ROCKWELL AND JANSENS WERE SURROUNDED BY HEIDENREICH, NAILS, LUTHER REIGNS, RENE DUPREE AND WAR ON AMERICA. THEY ALL CAME INTO THE RING AND ATTACKED ROCKWELL AND JANSENS. FROM THE BACK CAME CHAOS WOLF AND CHRIS TIRPAK TO TRY TO HELP THEIR COMRADES AND THE FIGHT WAS ON.

Cole: "All hell is breaking loose folks! The New Breed is fighting them all"!

Ventura: "Give it some time Cole..... the New Breed can't fight this many forever"!

THE SHOT FADES OUT.
