PRIMETIME HITS THE AIR WITH IT's USUAL MONTAGE VIDEO TO THE TUNE OF "RAP SUPERSTAR". THE QWEST CENTER COMES INTO THE SHOT AS THE MUSIC OF LA FAMILIA HITS AND SUPER CRAZY, PSYCHOSIS AND ESSA RIOS HEAD TO THE RING.

Michael Cole: "Omaha, Nebraska is the sight of what should be a very big night as we get set for TWF Payback"!

Jesse Ventura: "And here comes La Familia Michael, a group I am looking very forward to seeing here on PrimeTime".

Cole: "Their ring leader Chavo Guerrero is probably sitting in the back, taking all this in".

PAUL LONDON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND ON ONE SIDE OF HIM IS TAJIRI AND ON THE OTHER, SYCHOTIC.

Ventura: "Well you heard what their motto is Michael, you mess with one of them, you mess with all of them"!

Cole: "Six man tag team action to start things off tonight and it is inside the Lightheavyweight division which you will only see here on PrimeTime"!

6 Man Tag Team Match

La Familia: Psychosis, Super Crazy and Essa Rios vs. Paul London, Tajiri and Sychotic

La Familia looked very much in sync, wrestling the lucha libre style against three men who weren't that familiar with each other. But the Nebraskan fans were very much against La Familia and when London hit a sit down powerbomb on Super Crazy, they came to their feet as he got a long 2 count. He then went to the top rope but Psychosis pushed him off and Rios then backdropped Sychotic over the top rope. From there, Rios hit the ropes and flipped over, landing on both London and Sychotic. In the ring, Tajiri had just released the Tarantula on Super Crazy and he set him up for the Buzzsaw Kick. But before he could execute it, Psychosis came from behind with a wicked tiger german suplex. Crazy then hit a springboard hurracanrana which dazzled the anti Familia fans and Psychosis went to the top rope, slamming onto Tajiri with a guillotine legdrop to get the 1........2.......3 and a complete victory.

Match Time: 7:37

Cole: "Well this crowd doesn't like it Jesse, but La Familia was mighty impressive here"!

Ventura: "These guys are gonna be very entertaining to watch here on PrimeTime Michael, I wouldn't wanna mess with them"!

Cole: "Yeah cause it'll never be one on one"!

RIOS, CRAZY AND PSYCHOSIS LEFT, ALL WITH BIG GRINS ON THEIR FACES.

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW CHAOS WOLF AND VLAD THE IMPALER IN A DRESSING ROOM.

Vlad the Impaler: "So are you sure you want to put our title run on hold"?

Chaos Wolf: "Look man, I know those titles will be ours someday. But first, Jason Oliver and I have unfinished business. And what better event to settle the score once and for all than Payback"?

VLAD SHAKES HIS HAND.

Vlad: "You know I'm behind you man. You just better kick his ass".

BOTH MEN LAUGH BEFORE A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN. ON ONE SIDE IS CHRISTIAN AND ON THE OTHER IS JORDAN ROCKWELL.

Cole: "Well still to come tonight, Edge and Christian were supposed to team up against Jordan Rockwell and a partner of his choice tonight but Edge has pulled out of that match for what he's calling a bigger matter. So tonight, Rockwell will go one on one with Christian"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR MILLER LITE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TACO BELL.

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

CAMERAS SHOW EDGE COMING UP TO SHANE THOMPSON.

Edge: "Hey Thompson"!

THOMPSON TURNS AROUND

Shane Thompson: "Oh look, it's the number one contender who doesn't want to use his title shot".

Edge: "Look, my title shot has been frozen pending the outcome of my match at Payback.

THOMPSON GETS A PUZZLED LOOK ON HIS FACE.

Yeah, seems Shane McMahon has made some sort of tag team match with me and Christian against Batista and Orton. Whoever gets the pinfall or submission, gets the title shot. How messed up is that"?

Thompson: "Well, Shane says he has found something for me too so I guess I better go talk to him".

THOMPSON TURNS TO WALK AWAY.

Edge: "No wait, that's not what I came over here for. Ya see, even though it'll be non-title, I want to prove that I can beat you and I want to do it right here in this dump Omaha".

Thompson: "You and me tonight? You got it".

THOMPSON WALKS AWAY AS THE CAMERA SHOWS EDGE WITH A CONFIDENT LOOK ON HIS FACE.

"DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT WITH TAYLOR MADE.

Cole: "Did you hear that Jesse?! A huge tag team match signed for Payback"!

Ventura: "How is that fair to Edge? He earned that title shot and now anyone, even his own partner can win it from him"!

SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

Cole: "Well speaking of tag team matches we're gonna have one right here and there you see the Intercontinental title still around the waist of Sean O'Haire but he got a good run for his money from A.J. Styles".

Ventura: "Ya know the guys over on Rampage try to talk about how impressive Joe Corey's title reign has been but if you ask me, Sean O'Haire's has been every bit as impressive".

"LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HITS AND TAYLOR MADE COMES OUT TO A GOOD REACTION AS THE CAMERA SHOWS AXL LOOKING ON IN DISGUST.

Cole: "O'Haire has held that title since late last year and he and Axl should make a pretty good tag team here. But everyone wanted to know how Taylor Made was going to respond to the sneak attack her suffered a few weeks ago at the hands of Axl..... well take a look".

A QUICK REPLAY SHOWS TAYLOR MADE SNEAKING INTO THE RING AFTER AXL's MATCH LAST WEEK AND GRABBING TRACI, TAKING AXL TO THE BOILING POINT.

Ventura: "Well I can guarantee that was a mistake on Taylor's part because if you haven't noticed Cole, the relationship between Axl and Traci goes far beyond business"!

"ONE OF A KING" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A GREAT CHEER WITH PYRO POPPING OFF BEHIND HIM.

Cole: "Well talk about great partners, I don't know if Taylor could've found a better one than the former Universal champion"!

Ventura: "RVD has been hot on the trail of Sean O'Haire but I don't see O'Haire sweating, do you"?

Cole: "Well I still remember what O'Haire did to cost RVD a match when he was doing guest commentary with us but if you don't consider that sweating then I guess niether do I"!

Sean O'Haire and Axl Irvin w/ Traci Brooks vs. Rob Van Dam and Taylor Made

Taylor demanded to start the match with Irvin and he got his wish. Irvin was quickly able to overpower him and smashed him with some serious overhand rights. Irvin shot him to the ropes and went for a hip toss but Taylor was able to land on his feet and then take Axl down with a foot sweep. Taylor controlled Axl from here and after a gutwrench suplex, he hit the ropes but O'Haire drove a knee into his back. Taylor turned and nailed O'Haire before tagging in RVD who came in and knocked both men down with his lethal feet. Taylor came in as both the other two were in the ring but after hitting the ropes, he was backdropped to the floor by Irvin. RVD took O'Haire out with a baseball slide that knocked him into the barricade near the broadcast position but on the other side of the ring, Traci was in the face of referee Brian Hebner. Then, Axl was able to reverse an irish whip and he picked RVD up as if to go for a spinebuster, only to hold him there for O'Haire who had gotten a steel chair and got back up on the apron, swinging the chair right over the hand of Van Dam. Axl then completed the spinebuster move and covered RVD as Hebner made the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:12

Cole: "That's not sweating?! Then what the hell is partner"?!

Ventura: "Hey, did the ref see it?! Did they get the one, two, three?! I rest my case Michael"!

"DO YOU CALL MY NAME" PLAYED AGAIN AS AXL, O'HAIRE AND TRACI LEFT TO SOME HARSH BOOS WHILE TAYLOR CHECKED ON RVD IN THE RING.

Cole: "Well as good ol' J.R. would say, that's a bargain basement win"!

BACKSTAGE.....

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, IDALIS IS WITH THE FOURSOME OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN, RENE DUPREE, TIGER ALI SINGH AND DAWN MARIE.

Idalis: "Guys, can you maybe tell those out there that are watching about this new partnership you've formed"?

Muhammad Hassan: "Rene and I have formed this partnership because finally.... finally I have found someone who agrees with me! Someone who knows this country for what it is...... racist and hypocritical! Ya see, the French didn't want to help America in the war because they don't agree with their beliefs! Listen to Rene, he'll tell you"!

Rene Dupree: "If not for the ability to wrestle and to beat the hell out of Americans on a nightly basis.... I would have never come here"!

Idalis: "Okay guys, but what about Rome and Dylan Jansens? One who is originally from the Middle East and the other, born in France"?

Hassan: "Never mind them, they see America as a land of oppurtunity. That is why we want a match at Payback with them, so we can take that oppurtunity away. Rome.... you made the biggest mistake of your life! You are a disgrace to everyone of our brothers and sisters who have to deal with these prejudiced Americans every day"!

Dupree: "Just like you are Jansens. So there you go, the challenge, or maybe oppurtunity is a better word, is on the table. We'll see if you two have the guts to accept".

THE SHOT SHIFTS TO THE OFFICE OF SHANE McMAHON. SHANE THOMPSON HAS JUST ENTERED.

Shane Thompson: "So boss, and I use that word loosely, I hear you have found something for me to do at Payback".

Shane McMahon: "As a matter of fact I have.

SHANE REACHES INTO ONE OF THE DRAWERS OF HIS DESK AND PULLS OUT AN ORANGE AND BLACK STRIPED PRIMETIME REFEREE's SHIRT.

Ya know that match Edge told you about a few minutes ago? Guess who is gonna be the special referee"?

SHANE TOSSES THE SHIRT TO THOMPSON WHO CATCHES IT AND GETS A SLIGHT GRIN ON HIS FACE AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE LUTHER REIGNS IS AWAITING HIS OPPONENT.

"FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN HITS AND CHRIS PLATOON MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A DECENT APPLUASE.

Cole: "For those of you who are unfamiliar with the story of Chris Platoon, he is a cancer survivor who doctors gave six months to live. Now, at the age of thirty one, it is four years later and he is back in a wrestling ring"!

Ventura: "Very inspirational Michael, however Luther Reigns is someone who has survived multiple near death experiences, including a serious stabbing".

Cole: "And that is the reason for this match tonight. Luther Reigns just doesn't feel Chris Platoon has had it as tough as he has yet Platoon is the one receiving all the publicity for his road back to the ring".

Ventura: "And I think Platoon is gonna find out rather quickly that Luther Reigns is as tough as they come".

Luther Reigns vs. Chris Platoon

The bell sounded and an eager Reigns took a wild swing but Platoon duck and struck with 2 quick jabs followed by an uppercut to the body. That led to a vertical suplex and Platoon was charged up as he went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with front elbow before going to the cover and getting a 2 count. Reigns tried to shake off the effects as Platoon used a basement dropkick. He then pulled him up and went for an irish whip but Reigns reversed it, only to have Platoon come off with a Harley Race flying knee right on the nose. Platoon made another cover to get the 1...........2......., but Reigns was up. Platoon tried for another move after springing off the ropes but Reigns smashed him with a clothesline. He then picked him up and set him on the apron, measuring him and then kicking him in the chest so hard it knocked him head over heels to the floor. Reigns yelled "come back bitch" and Platoon got into the ring, showing his never say quit attitude. But Reigns stopped a flurry of right hands with a backhand to the face followed by a huge knee lift. He then went for an irish whip but Platoon avoided a clothesline and stopped his own momentum, using a sharp back elbow to the gut followed by the "Last Chance" which drove Reigns' face into the mat and allowed him to pick up the 1.......2......3.

Match Time: 6:37

Cole: "And that's what heart and determination get ya! What a debut for Chris Platoon"!

Ventura: "He got the best of Luther this time, but it didn't come easily"!

"FIREFLY" PLAYED AGAIN AS PLATOON LEFT, SLAPPING HANDS WITH FANS.

Cole: "And the fight against a life threatening illness wasn't either, but he was on the winning side of that too! Look for big things here on PrimeTime out of this guy folks"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A PREVIEW FOR "BATMAN BEGINS" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR DELL PCS.

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

War on America vs. Dylan Jansens and Rome

War on America tried to get the upper hand early by attacking before the bell rang but Jansens and Rome quickly recovered. Jansens was able to sidestep a charging Hirohito and launch him over the top rope. On the other side of the ring, Rome dropped Aries to the mat with a delay vertical suplex before going outside the ring and grabbing their black flag. Then, much to the delight of the fans, he broke the flagpole across the steel ring post! But in the ring, Aries and Hirohito had taken Jansens down together and referee Mike Enos kept Rome back. Aries put Jansens down with a pendulum backbreaker before tagging in Hirohito who was very aggressive in choking DJ. For the next 4 and a half minutes, Jansens could do nothing as he was being taken apart but a very cohesive opposition. Hirohito held Jansens up for a suplex but Jansens slipped out of it and pushed him right into Aries. A tag was recorded as DJ hit Hirohito with a flying wheel kick and then made the hot tag to Rome. Aries, now the legal man, entered the ring but was met with a big clothesline. Rome then lifted Hirohito up for a military press and launched him over the top rope before turning his attention to Aries who he took down with with a belly to belly suplex. Rome then pulled him up and stuck with the "Ragnoreck Powerbomb" to get the 1.......2........3.

But right after the match, Muhammad Hassan and Rene Dupree hit the ring in dress clothes and dealt a serious beating to Jansens and Rome. Dupree delivered the "Dupree Bomb" to Jansens and Hassan unstrapped the belt from his pants and whipped Rome across the back several times before agents came out from the back to stop it.

Match Time: 6:25

Cole: "This situation has gotten way out of hand! Thank God for the guys who stopped this"!

Ventura: "Hassan and Dupree are two guys with their heads so far up their.....

Cole: "Careful Jesse, we are on national tv here. But I agree with you and I hope that at Payback, these two jerks will get what they've got coming to them"!

BACKSTAGE......

CHAVO GUERRERO IS ON HIS CELL PHONE WHEN PAUL LONDON RUSHES UP AND TACKLES HIM, TAKING HIM HARD INTO THE WALL.

Paul London: "Come on you son of a bitch"!

Ventura: "What the heck is wrong with Paul London?! Get him off"!

AFTER A COUPLE MORE KICKS TO THE BODY, LONDON WALKS AWAY AND THE PHONE CHAVO WAS ON HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

Cole: "The Lightheavyweight champion has just assualted Chavo Guerrero and perhaps sent a message to La Familia in the process"!

"SAD BUT TRUE" BY METALLICA HITS AND MIKE CIRIANNI MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO SOME VERY STRONG BOOS.

Ventura: "And I'm sure he'll be hearing about that soon. What a dumb move by London"!

Cole: "Well here comes a man who last week committed one of the most disrespectful acts I think I've ever seen in the TWF when he attacked Ric Flair like some kind of.... some kind of animal"!

Ventura: "I understand Cirianni wanting to climb to the top of PrimeTime but Flair doesn't deserve to be treated like he was last week"!

"TNT" BY AC/DC BLASTS OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS, BRINGING VLAD THE IMPALER OUT TO A GOOD POP.

Cole: "I just hope that Vlad the Impaler feels the same way we do and takes it to this guy"!

Ventura: "Vlad is in for a tough match though, Cirianni has been as good as anyone on PrimeTime over the last six weeks or so"!

Mike Cirianni vs. Vlad the Impaler

The bell sounded and the two men locked up. The stronger Vlad backed Cirianni into the corner and was about to throw a forearm to the chest but Cirianni quickly stuck his head between the ring ropes. Referee Charles Robinson asked for a break and Vlad put his arms up. But Cirianni jumped on him and began pounding away. Cirianni shot him to the corner and followed in with a clothesline before using a jumping bulldog to score a near fall. After a reverse neckbreaker, Cirianni went into the Flair strut which drew some huge boos. But when he turned around, Vlad was waiting with an inverted atomic drop followed by a big spinebuster. He followed that with an elbow drop and made the cover to get the 1........2......, but Cirianni was up. Vlad pulled him up and whipped him to the corner with authority and Cirianni crumpled to the mat, holding the back of his neck and writhing in pain. Robinson went to check on Cirianni seeming very concerned, as was the crowd. But just as Robinson was about to stop the match, Cirianni got up and rolled Vlad up to get the 1.....2.......3.

Match Time: 7:04

Ventura: "What the hell"?

Cole: "Oh come on! That's what kind of man this guy Cirianni is! I mean, first he beats the hell out of his friend Ric Flair and now, he fakes being injured to get a victory! This guy is a louse... a no good......

Ventura: "Wait a minute Cole, there's Flair"!

JUST THEN, "WOOS" COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE CROWD AS RIC FLAIR MADE HIS WAY OUT IN A SUIT AND TIE. HE ENTERED THE RING AND ASKED FOR A MICROPHONE.

Cole: "Come on Nature Boy, knock this guy on his ass"!

Ventura: "Weren't you the one reminding me that we're on national tv"?

Ric Flair: "Mike, Mike, I had to come out here and get some answers from you man. Last week, I wasn't expecting what you did. I mean, we had a good thing going. So I want to come out here and make it right. For whatever I did to you.... I truly am sorry".

FLAIR OFFERS HIS HAND FOR CIRIANNI TO SHAKE.

Cole: "Oh come on".

CIRIANNI ACTS LIKE HE's GONNA SHAKE HIS HAND BUT INSTEAD KNOCKS HIM TO THE MAT WITH A RIGHT HAND. FLAIR GETS UP BUT GETS A KICK TO THE GUT FOLLOWED BY THE "M.A.S.".

Ventura: "Ah, the Mike Austin Stunner"!

Cole: "That's another thing he is! He's a damn liar! His last name isn't Austin so you can change the name of that move too! What the hell is wrong with this guy"?!

"SAD BUT TRUE" PLAYS AGAIN AND CIRIANNI LEAVES, VERY PROUD OF HIMSELF AS FLAIR TRIES TO GET UP OFF THE MAT.

Ventura: "Well I think it's clear that Cirianni wants nothing to do with the Nature Boy"!

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, JASON TIGER COMES UP TO HEIDENREICH WHO IS SITTING ON A BENCH, SEEMINGLY TALKING TO HIMSELF.

Jason Oliver: "Heidenreich!

HEIDENREICH LOOKS UP

After you cost us the tag team titles and our match last week, I can't believe I'm gonna ask this. But rumor has it that Chaos Wolf has come up with some sort of match at Payback.

OLIVER GETS DOWN IN HEIDENREICH's FACE.

I need you to make sure that we dispose of him..... once and for all"!

OLIVER WALKS AWAY AS HEIDENREICH LOOKS UP WITH A BIT OF AN ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE.

"JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND GOLD PYRO FOLLOWS FROM ABOVE AS CHRISTIAN COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION.

Ventura: "Here we go! Everyone should be standing and applauding this man"!

Cole: "Why"?

Ventura: "For the job he did playing Nails"!

Cole: "Whatever, that was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen and I think most fans would agree".

"BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO EASILY THE BIGGEST POP OF THE NIGHT. IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS THE HOCKEY MASK HE RIPPED OFF CHRISTIAN's FACE A FEW WEEKS BACK.

Ventura: "And there he has that hockey mask with him Michael, what's with that"?

Cole: "I believe it serves as somewhat of a trophy as well as a reminder of what he's up against at Payback in that Hell in a Cell match"!

Ventura: "Well if Christian has anything to say about it that match isn't even gonna happen"!

Christian vs. Jordan Rockwell

The match started and Christian on two occasions pulled out of a lockup, complaining that Rockwell was pulling his hair. Finally, Rockwell just barrelled over him with a clothesline. He then picked him up for a swinging neckbreaker. After whipping Christian to the corner, Rockwell climbed to the middle turnbuckle and began pounding him with right hands as the crowd counted along. But after a fourth punch, Christian grabbed him around the legs and fell backwards into a snake eyes. Christian then yelled "whose the franchise now"?! Christian pulled him up and delivered a reverse falling DDT and covered him for about a 2 and a half count. Christian pulled him up again and went for a suplex but Rockwell slung over him and grabbed him in a waistlock. But Christian was able to get referee Chris Kay out of position and catch Rockwell with a mule kick. From there, he grabbed the hockey mask and put it on, dancing around and taunting Rockwell. But Rockwell popped up quick as a cat and grabbed Christian, delivering the Rock Smasher and sending the mask flying into the air before Kay pounded the mat for the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 4:37

Cole: "How did that feel Christian?! I'd say Rockwell is ready for Hell in a Cell"!

Ventura: "There's no way to be fully prepared for a match like that Michael, it's career shortening"!

AS "BACK IN BLACK" PLAYED, CAMERAS FOUND NAILS UP IN THE RAFTERS, PEERING DOWN AT ROCKWELL AND AS THE SPOTLIGHT SHINED ON HIM, ROCKWELL LOOKED UP.

Cole: "Look.... Nails is up in the rafters"!

Ventura: "Those are the two men with the storied past Michael! What's in their past we don't know but the past, the present and the future are gonna be in that cell"!

THE PAYBACK LOGO IS SHOWN IN THE BACKGROUND OF PROMO GRAPHICS THAT SHOW THE COMPETITORS SIDE BY SIDE TO PREVIEW THE MATCHES THAT HAVE BEEN SIGNED FOR THE PAY-PER-VIEW.

Cole: "TWF Payback is shaping up to be a huge way to start the Summer and the Hell in a Cell is just one reason why! As we found out tonight, Edge and Christian will face Randy Orton and Batista with the man to get the first pinfall or submission will become the number one contender and not only that, but Shane Thompson will be the guest referee"!

Ventura: "And if I were Edge I'd be doing some serious complaining right now"!

Muhammad Hassan and Rene Dupree say they have a mission to satisfy their countrymen when they take on Rome and Dylan Jansens"!

Ventura: "And Rome and DJ will be fighting for the good old US of A which is the land of oppurtunity Michael"!

Cole: "In addition to that, because of the attack on Chavo Guerrero earlier, Paul London will defend the Lightheavyweight title against Super Crazy"!

Ventura: "I told you London made a mistake and now he has to deal with La Familia"!

Cole: "The Intercontinental title will be on the line when Sean O'Haire defends against Rob Van Dam"!

Ventura: "And Axl Irvin with Traci, did ya hear that Taylor Made, Traci is gonna be in Axl's corner when he faces you at Payback"!

Cole: "All this and much more so make sure you make yourself a part of Payback"!

BACKSTAGE.......

HEIDENREICH IS SITTING ON THE SAME BENCH WHEN CHAOS WOLF COMES UP.

Heidenreich: "He left..... a long time ago".

Chaos Wolf: "Well when you see him, you tell him I want a Lights Out match at Payback"!

CHAOS WOLF WALKS AWAY AND ONCE HE IS OUT OF SIGHT, OLIVER STEPS OUT FROM AROUND A CORNER.

Oliver: "A Lights Out match huh? I told you he had something in mind.

OLIVER GETS DOWN IN HEIDENREICH's FACE AGAIN.

WHEN PRIMETIME COMES BACK, "METALINGUS" PLAYS AND EDGE COMES OUT IN HIS SMOKY ENTRANCE TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Cole: "It's main event time here on PrimeTime and here comes the number one contender or should I say the number one contender for now"?!

Ventura: "You like this don't you? You think the match Shane McMahon came up with is cool don't you? Edge is being punished for being patient"!

Cole: "Edge could be the first man to win the number one contendership and never get a title shot, at least in my memory".

"READY TO DIE" BY HED PLAYS, BRINGING THE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION SHANE THOMPSON OUT AND HE IS HOLDING THE TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT ARM WHILE BEING BOOED.

Ventura: "Well as far as Edge is concerned, this is his title match"!

Cole: "Edge asked for this match because he wants to prove he can beat Thompson who will be the referee of that match at Payback and Jesse, when he says he's beat Thompson before, he's not lying".

Ventura: "And if he can do it tonight he should get a title match no matter what happens at Payback"!

Non-Title Match

Edge vs. Universal Champ Shane Thompson

The bell rang and these two men met in the center of the ring. Edge shoved him but Thompson shoved back. Edge then threw a right hand but Thompson blocked it and caught him with a spin kick followed by a european uppercut and a spinning legdrop. He then lifted himself to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a legdrop but Edge rolled out of the way before pulling Thompson up and sending him to the ropes for a big backbody drop. From there, Edge went to the top rope, flying off with a clothesline and he quickly crawled into a cover to get the 1.........2......., but that was it. Edge went for a slam but Thompson escaped and delivered a reverse ddt on the knee. The two continued the back and forth action until Thompson went for a swinging neckbreaker but Edge blocked it and went for the "Edge-a-cution" only to have Thompson shove him into referee Mike Chioda. Chioda was slow to get up and Randy Orton ran out and removed one of the turnbuckle pads. Then, off an irish whip to the corner, Edge tried to sling over Thompson but the champion caught him on his shoulders and dropped him on the exposed turbuckle with the snake eyes. That led to the "Total Eclipse" and Thompson stacked him up for the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:44

Ventura: "Damn that Orton! Why'd he have to get involved"?!

THOMPSON GOT HIS TITLE AND LOOKED ON AT A SMILING ORTON.

Cole: "Well if it is Orton getting that pinfall at Payback, he will become the number one contender"!

Ventura: "Not fair, this is an injustice"!

OFF AIR.......
