AS PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK OF AXL IRVIN DEFEATING JORDAN ROCKWELL WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM BOTH CHAOS WOLF AND VLAD THE IMPALER. AFTERWARDS, SHANE McMAHON CAME OUT AND ANNOUNCED THAT A TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH WOULD TAKE PLACE ON THE NEXT EDITION OF PRIMETIME IN WHICH AXL IRVIN, RANDY ORTON AND JORDAN ROCKWELL WOULD ALL HAVE A PARTNER OF THEIR CHOOSING.

THE SHOT THEN OPENS INSIDE THE ARENA AND "RAP SUPERSTAR" IS PLAYING WHILE THE CROWD IS GOING WILD.

Michael Cole: "We have landed in Louisville, Kentucky for what will be the last TWF show before the 2007 Royal Rumble! Michael Cole and JBL on hand to call all the action here on PrimeTime"!

"TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND JAMES MITCHELL COMES OUT, LEADING CHAOS WOLF AND VLAD THE IMPALER TO THE RING.

JBL: "And speaking of the Royal Rumble, what better way to kick off the show than this?! Four men battling for the last two spots in the Rumble match"!

Cole: "Well as strange as it may seem, these two guys, who both have much different looks by the way, have owned Strife and Bahamut as of late"!

"BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS STRIFE AND BAHAMUT COME OUT, HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE RING.

JBL: "They are without question the greatest tag team of our time, Michael, but if anyone has their number, it's Chaos Wolf and Vlad"!

Cole: "The winning team in this match will advance into the Royal Rumble, grabbing PrimeTime's final two spots"!

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match

Chaos Wolf and Vlad the Impaler w/ James Mitchell vs. Strife and Bahamut

Right as Strife and Bahamut got into the ring, they were attacked by Chaos Wolf and Vlad while James Mitchell yelled out instructions. After they took Bahamut out of the ring with a double clothesline, Vlad and Wolf each grabbed a hold of Strife and drove him into the mat with a double DDT. Referee Mike Enos was able to get Chaos Wolf out of the ring as Vlad made the cover, but he could only get a 2 count. Vlad pulled Strife to his feet and went for an irish whip, but the big man reversed it and plowed into Vlad with a clothesline. After driving two big elbows into his head, Strife pulled Vlad over into his corner and tagged in Bahamut, who came in and smashed Vlad across the back with a double axe handle. Bahamut then shot him to the ropes and picked him up for a big sideslam. Strife tagged back into the match, bouncing off the ropes, but he missed with an elbow drop. Vlad was able to get over to his corner and tag in Wolf, who ran into the ring and put the boots to Strife. The Locomotive was in trouble as Wolf, who owns a singles win over him, took the fight to him. After a big swinging neckbreaker, Wolf tagged in Vlad who held Strife's head as Wolf hit the ropes and kicked Strife right in the face! Vlad made the cover as Enos forced Wolf back to his corner, but Bahamut came in to break it up. Wolf saw this and charged back into the ring, but Bahamut was waiting with a backdrop that sent him over the top rope and to the floor. Vlad got up and hit Bahamut from behind but when he turned back around, Strife took him out with a nasty running boot. Bahamut then got the tag and he hit the ropes, landing his incredible Lionsault known as "What legends are made of" and he covered Vlad for the 1........2......3.

Match Time: 6:30

Cole: "Strife and Bahamut are in! The former multiple time tag team champs will be part of the Royal Rumble"!

JBL: "This may very well be the start of a new beginning. That was a huge victory".

"BOMBSHELL" PLAYED AS MITCHELL ROUNDED UP HIS TEAM AND THEY HEADED FOR THE BACK WHILE STRIFE AND BAHAMUT STOOD TALL IN THE RING, ABSORBING THE HUGE CHEERS FROM THE FANS.

Cole: "The fans here in Louisville showing their appreciation for Strife and Bahamut and I bet there are twenty eight other guys in that Rumble who don't like the fact these two men just got in"!

JBL: "I'm telling you, Michael, we may look back on this night as the start of something special..... again".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR VONAGE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "HANNIBAL RISING".

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

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW MARIA WHO IS STANDING BY WITH THE BLOOD BROTHERS ALONG WITH SNITSKY WHO IS SPORTING A BLACK HOODIE WITH THE BLOOD BROTHERS SYMBOL ON IT.

Maria: "Last week, Snitsky interfered during Sean O’Haire’s match with Robbie of the Highlanders, and what the wrestling world has been wondering for the last week is… well why"?

Dustin Kash: "Well the answer is quite simple to tell you the truth. Snitsky is the most raw, smash mouth, cruel and maniacal powerhouse that this business has ever seen, but yet all he’s been doing is sitting in the back watching other superstars make it to the top. You see the Hart Family held him back. They made him help Max Ogden make it to the top, when really it should’ve been the other superstars in the group helping out Snitsky make it to the top! Snitsky’s talent was lost and has never been found… until now"!

Sean O’Haire: "Snitsky realizes exactly what the Blood Brothers are all about, and we know what Snitsky is all about".

Dustin Kash: "Starting tonight, the path of destruction led by this man, Snitsky, begins"!

Snitsky: "And the next stop after tonight is the Rumble, where I will make history by winning the Rumble match and then going onto Wrestlemania to become the new Universal Champion".!

Dustin Kash: "But tonight, we have challenged the Highlanders to choose any partner they want to take on the three of us. So after we’re through with these punks tonight, we will go on to Royal Rumble to defend and retain our titles inside a fifteen foot high steel cage, and then watch Snitsky throw twenty nine other superstars out of that ring to win the Royal Rumble match! Oh and Highlanders, you better bring you’re A-Game because if you lose this match at the Rumble, then boy it’s gonna be a while till you ever get a shot again"!

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE A MAN, UNKNOWN TO MOST FANS, IS INSIDE GETTING READY.

SUDDENLY, "IN TOO FAR" BY ACCEPTANCE HITS AND PJ CASH STEPS OUT WITH A SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE AND HE IS QUICKLY BOOED.

Cole: "Well talk about arrogance, talk about high on yourself, this......

JBL: "Stop right there, Michael. Before you go and knock this kid, let me introduce him properly. At only twenty one years old, this guy is a prodigy, a pure genius. He has made himself a small fortune by using his head and I can tell you from personal experience, he can translate that into the ring".

Cole: "Oh, so now you're comparing this guy to yourself"?

JBL: "I've had a chance to visit with this man and have been nothing but impressed, Michael".

Cole: "Well we've heard him talk, now it's time to see what he can do in the ring".

PJ Cash (in ring debut) vs. Tony Santerelli (invitee)

As the bell sounded, the two men moved in on one another and Cash extended his hand, offering a handshake. Santerelli went for it but with his left hand, Cash struck him with a jab. He then hammered away on Santerelli, getting in some stiff forearms. Off an irish whip, Cash hit a flying back elbow that was right on target. Santerelli was up to his feet quickly, but Cash drilled him with a flying wheel kick that put him right back down. Cash then went into a submission hold, driving his knee into the small of Santerelli's back before pulling back by his throat and chin area. Santerelli was in pain, but Cash released the hold and told him to get up. Santerelli got to his knees and threw a punch to the gut of Cash, knocking him back. But Cash came back with a nasty knee to the face before catching Santerelli with a move similar to the Diamond Cutter. He hooked the leg and got an easy 3 count.

Match Time: 4:39

JBL: "Look at that! Was that not impressive"?!

Cole: "He calls that move the Cash Register and yeah, it was impressive. Cash will be among the field of thirty in the Royal Rumble match where he will be in there with the best Rampage and PrimeTime have to offer"!

"IN TOO FAR" PLAYED AGAIN AS CASH POSED ON THE TURNBUCKLE, TAUNTING THE HECKLING FANS.

JBL: "You mark my words, Michael.... this guy is going to be a star"!

BACKSTAGE...... DRESSING ROOM......

EDGE IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM WHEN RANDY ORTON ENTERS.

Edge: "I saw you used my match idea".

Randy Orton: "Yeah, the ladder match, it's perfect. What better way for me to prove my superiority to Rockwell and Axl and to take my property back"?

Edge: "Yeah.... so what can I do for ya"?

Orton: "Well, I got this match tonight, and I need a partner. So I was kinda thinkin'.......

Edge: "That you want the Rated R superstar on your team"?

Orton: "Yeah, exactly".

Edge: "I'm in. I'd love to go out there and kick somebody's ass tonight in front of all these hicks in Louisville".

Orton: "Alright man, I'll see ya out there".

ORTON WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

"COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND THE BLOOD BROTHERS COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT IN THEIR LONG TRENCH COATS, CARRYING THEIR FIGHTING STAFFS AND THEIR TAG TEAM TITLES. TRAILING THEM IS SNITSKY.

Cole: "Well here comes this unholy alliance and we heard from them earlier, they've challenged the Highlanders and any partner to this six man tag team match".

JBL: "I don't know quite what to make of this trio, Michael, but the Blood Brothers have seen as much success as just about any team in TWF history, so it's hard to question their choices".

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS THE HIGHLANDERS' SCOTTISH TUNE PLAYS AND THEY COME OUT.

Cole: "At the Royal Rumble, it will be the Highlanders taking on the Blood Brothers for the tag team titles"!

JBl: "And it will be inside the unforgiving confines of a steel cage. A tag team cage match is not something you see often, and it requires intelligence as much as physicality".

Cole: "Right, because both men have to escape the cage to win. So you have to decide if you want to leave the cage and leave your partner in a two on one situation".

JBL: "I promise ya, the smartest team will win that match and that's why these two guys in skirts don't have a chance"!

Cole: "They're kilts and........

JUST THEN, RORY AND ROBBIE STARTED THE MATCH, ATTACKING THE BLOOD BROTHERS AND SNITSKY.

wait a minute..... what's this"?!

JBL: "Where's their partner?! Could they not find one"?! (laughs)

Handicap Match

The Blood Brothers and Snitsky vs. The Highlanders

The Highlanders started off strong, knocking Snitsky out of the ring with a double clothesline before drilling O'Haire with the battering ram manuever. From there, they shot Dustin Kash to the ropes and used a double -hip toss slam and the crowd was loving it. Robbie stayed in the ring, working on Kash and after knocking him down to a seated position with punches and kicks, he looked to the crowd for a cheer when Kash grabbed the front of his kilt and pulled him face first into the middle turnbuckle pad. Kash then tagged his partner O'Haire before whipping Robbie to the ropes. He caught him and held him up before O'Haire took him right out of his arms with a jumping spin kick. After sitting Robbie up, O'Haire hit the ropes and kicked Robbie square in the chest. He then turned to Rory and nailed him with a cheap shot. Snitsky tagged into the match and tried to put Robbie away quickly with his sidewinder slam. But Robbie slipped off his shoulders and then ducked a clothesline, diving to his corner to make the tag. Rory came in and was all over Snitsky, rocking him with right hands and a big clothesline. Robbie tagged back in and the Highlanders used an old Hart Foundation move. Robbie stood on the apron as Rory used the ropes to slingshot him into the ring and he caught Snitsky with a shoulder block. After a big elbow drop, Robbie again tagged his partner who went to the middle turnbuckle but Kash and O'Haire came into the ring. The Highlanders were able to beat them to the punch though, taking them out of the ring. Robbie went to follow the two out but they forgot about Snitsky and when Rory turned back around, Snitsky just blasted him with a running boot and covered him for the academic 3 count.

Match Time: 7:26

JBL: "My God! Rory McCallister might want to check to see how many teeth he's missing"!

Cole: "Yeah, it only took three guys to beat them! At the Royal Rumble, it will be two on two"!

SNITSKY MOTIONED TO THE BLOOD BROTHERS, WHO BOTH CAME INTO THE RING WITH STEEL CHAIRS.

JBL: "Looks like it's time to send that final message before the Rumble".

JUST AS KASH AND O'HAIRE LIFTED THE CHAIRS ABOVE THEIR HEADS, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND A RED COLORED SMOKE BEGAN TO BILLOW OUT OF THE ENTRY WAY AS A LOUD LAUGH COULD BE HEARD AS THE CROWD CHEERED.

Cole: "Oh my..........

JBL: "No way.... it can't be"!

SNITSKY AND THE BLOOD BROTHERS WERE FROZEN IN THEIR TRACKS, STARING AT THE ENTRANCE.

Cole: "That smoke means only one thing"!

JBL: "This can't be! I thought this company finally got their wits about themselves and got rid of this idiot"!

Cole: "Blood Brothers...... he's comin' to getcha"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR T-MOBILE WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROGRAMMING AD FOR AMERICAN IDOL.

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, KEVIN THORN AND ARIEL ARE SHOWN IN A DARK, UNKNOWN LOCATION, SITTING AT A TABLE. IN FRONT OF THORN IS A GOBLET AND ARIEL PICKS IT UP.

Ariel: "Twenty nine poor, unfortunate souls will enter the Royal Rumble, only to run into the man known as Kevin Thorn. For we are not just after the ticket to the main event at WrestleMania...... we are after the blood of everyone who gets in our way".

SHE HANDS THE GOBLET TO THORN.

Kevin Thorn: "Just like Rene Dupree found out, I will make you suffer, and I will make you bleed".

THORN TAKES A DRINK OUT OF THE GOBLET BEFORE SPITTING IT INTO THE CAMERA, LEAVING A RED SUBSTANCE COVERING THE LENS.

THE SHOT THEN GOES BACK TO THE RING.

Non-Title Match

Super Crazy vs. Lightheavyweight Champion: Daivari

Looking to move up the ladder for a title match, Super Crazy came out on the offensive, throwing the champion into defense mode. After catching Daivari with a flying wheel kick, Crazy hit a standing moonsault that nearly won the match. Daivari kicked out at 2, and when Crazy tried to pull him to his feet, he punched him in the gut. Daivari then shot him to the ropes but Crazy responded with a clothesline. Feeling the energy from the crowd, Crazy pulled Daivari to his feet but Daivari was waiting with a rake of the eyes. Moments later, he smashed Crazy with a superkick, hooking the leg for the 1.......2......, but Crazy got his right shoulder up. Daivari whipped him to the corner and followed in but Crazy stuck his right foot in his face. He then charged out of the corner but Daivari used a drop toe hold before bouncing off the ropes and drilling him with a basement dropkick. With Super Crazy staggered, Daivari went to the top rope, but Crazy got to his feet and punched him in the abdomen before he could take flight. Crazy was then looking to bring Daivari off the top rope with some sort of suplex, but Daivari fought through it and pushed Crazy to the mat. He then flew off with a legdrop, connecting with the throat of Crazy before covering him for the victory.

Match Time: 5:35

Eddie Saint James: "Oh look, it's our Universal champion. What can I do for ya...... champ"?

Axl Irvin: "I need a partner for my match tonight".

Eddie Saint James: "I'm in the mood for a fight, and I saw you used Wolf and Vlad to help you out last week. Good choice by the way".

Axl: "So, are you in"?

Chaos Wolf: "We're in".

Axl: "Good choice".

AXL WALKS OFF WITH TRACI AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

FINLAY, JOHNNY NITRO, TAZ, CM PUNK AND JOHNNY HAZARD ARE ALREADY IN THE RING, WAITING.

Cole: "Well it seems that Axl Irvin has found him a partner".

JBL: "He sure has, the man who represented PrimeTime in this year's King of the Ring final, Eddie Saint James"!

Cole: "So we know Randy Orton has found a partner, Axl Irvin has found a partner, who's Rockwell gonna choose"?!

JBL: "I don't know, but I didn't bring my wrestling gear with me tonight and I wouldn't team up with Jordan Rockwell anyway"!

Cole: "This will be a six man over the top rope challenge and if you're looking for a preview of what you will see in the Royal Rumble match, this is it"!

JBL: "All the same rules apply, Michael, last man standing in the ring wins"!

Over the Top Rope Challenge

Bobby Lashley vs. Taz vs. Johnny Nitro vs. Finlay vs. CM Punk vs. Johnny Hazard

As the bell sounded, two of PrimeTime's more heated rivalries took center stage as CM Punk sought out Finlay and the two went at it while Taz and Johnny Nitro squared off. Johnny Hazard saw Lashley just watching and he caught him with a shot from behind before ramming him into the top turnbuckle. Taz caught Nitro with a t-bone suplex and called for the "Tazmission" but CM Punk, who had taken Finlay out with a shining wizard, came over and he and Taz traded shots. Johnny Hazard was on the middle turnbuckle pounding away at Lashley when the IC champ picked him up and slammed him to the mat with one arm. Finlay came from behind with a forearm on Punk before seeing Lashley trying to shake off the cobwebs. Finlay charged over at Lashley but Lashley saw him coming and backdropped him over the top rope, making him the first elimination, or so he thought. Finlay had somehow landed on the apron and he grabbed his shillelagh, wacking Lashley over the head with it. He then got back in the ring and dumped him over the top rope. Moments later, Hazard caught Nitro with a clothesline that took him over the top. Taz was happy to see Nitro go, but Hazard caught him with a stiff right hand that put him on the mat. Meanwhile, Punk was trying to somehow muscle Finlay over the top rope, to no avail. Finlay escaped the predicament by raking Punk's eyes when Hazard ran over, looking to catch the Irishman off guard. But Finlay was able to catch him and hip toss him over the top and to the floor. Finlay then went back to work on Punk, putting the boots to him. But Finlay looked across the ring and saw Taz standing there, and a showdown was imminent. The two traded right hands before Taz blocked one and caught him with a capture suplex. He then shot Finlay to the ropes for a huge powerslam. The crowd was calling for an elimination, and Taz took Finlay by the back of the head, sending him soaring over the top rope. It was down to Taz and Punk and Punk came from behind with a shot to Taz before peppering him with several kicks to the body. After a whip to the corner, Punk flew in with a running knee that caught the street thug on the side of the head. But when Punk tried for the Uranage, Taz elbowed his way out of it and locked in the "Tazmission". Punk struggled to find a counter, but backed up and both men ended up going over the top rope. But Punk hit the floor and an alert Taz was able to latch onto one of the ropes to prevent himself from being eliminated, winning the match in the process.

Match Time: 4:50

"BEFORE I FORGET" BY SLIPKNOT PLAYED AS TAZ GOT BACK IN THE RING AND RAISED HIS ARMS, GARNERING A HUGE REACTION FROM THE CROWD.

Cole: "What a performance by Taz! He was able to get the final two eliminations and it's that type of performance that can win you the Rumble match, JBL"!

JBL: "Without a doubt..... this sends Taz into the Royal Rumble with a world of momentum"!

Cole: "But at the Royal Rumble, it won't be six men, it'll be thirty"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

COMMERCIALS FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES AND "TALLADEGA NIGHTS" NOW ON DVD, ARE SHOWN.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, MARIA IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH RIC FLAIR.

Maria: "Ric, at the Royal Rumble, you will face Chris Platoon, a man who.......

Ric Flair: "That's it, I don't want to hear another word about this guy Chris Platoon! You're playing with fire boy and at the Royal Rumble......... ya know what, Maria, I'm just gonna go do this out in that ring"!

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

GREGORY HELMS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS.

Cole: "Is he comin' out here"?!

JBL: "That's what he said"!

Cole: "Gregory Helms on his way to the ring and you gotta wonder if Chris Platoon is in fact playing with fire, this is the Nature Boy we're talking about".

"LOOSE" BY EMINEM COMES ON AND CARNEY STEPS OUT TO HUGE REACTION.

JBL: "I personally love what Chris Platoon is doing. He's trying to make a name for himself, Michael, and he's going about it the right way".

Cole: "Carney will be one of the thirty participants in the Royal Rumble match, but he's got a tough draw with Gregory Helms tonight".

Gregory Helms vs. Carney

This was fast paced from the start as both men looked to quicken the pace and use aerial moves to win the match. After catching Carney with his shining wizard, Helms went to the top rope, something he's gotten away from recently, and he flew off, only to be drilled by a Carney dropkick that took him right out of the air. Carney then picked Helms up and shot him to the corner, flying in with a jumping forearm. He then reeled him in for the "C-Drive" but Helms felt it coming and pushed his way free. He then rocked Carney with a right hand followed by a kick to the gut which led to a textbook snap suplex. Helms had an angry look on his face, but when he shot Carney to the corner, Carney slung over him and turned it into a sunset flip rollup for a very, very near fall. Carney then shot Helms to the ropes and caught him with a flying heel kick but he landed a little awkwardly and both men were down. Helms got to his knees but he did his best to shield referee Charles Robinson's view and out came Bill Cutting. Cutting got on the apron and pulled Carney throat first down over the top rope. As Cutting got down off the apron, Helms pushed Robinson aside and pulled Carney in for the "Nightmare on Helms Street" to get the win.

Match Time: 5:59

Cole: "What the hell was that"?!

JBL: "That move is called the Nightmare on Helms Street, Michael, and he just put Carney away with it".

Cole: "You know what I meant, what business does Bill Cutting have out here"?!

AS HELMS' MUSIC PLAYED, CUTTING CAME INTO THE RING AND SHOUTED SOME WORDS TOWARDS CARNEY BEFORE HE AND HELMS LEFT THE RING.

JBL: "Well it looks like some sort of new union to me".

BACKSTAGE......

JOHN CENA IS SHOWN IN THE BACK GETTING LOOSE WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES UP.

John Cena: "You ready to do this"?

Jordan Rockwell: "Oh yeah, I'm ready".

CENA AND ROCKWELL SLAP HANDS.

Cena: "Then let's go do it".

Cole: "It seems to me that Jordan Rockwell has selected John Cena to be his tag team partner tonight"!

JBL: "Ya know, you're just a regular Sherlock Holmes".

"WOOOOOOOOOOO" IS HEARD AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AS RIC FLAIR COMES TO THE RING, LOOSENING HIS TIE.

Cole: "Well he said he was going to come out here and here he is...... Ric Flair"!

JBL: "He's asking for a microphone".

Ric Flair: "Platonic...... Platoon, whatever the hell your name is, I feel like kickin' some ass tonight in Louisville, so get your ass out here now, I'm not waitin' until the Rumble"!

FLAIR THROWS THE MIC DOWN AND BEGINS TO UNBUTTON HIS SHIRT. BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS CHRIS PLATOON COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE.

Chris Platoon: "Unlike you Ric, I can wait until the Royal Rumble. I asked you to be hear what, three times? So now..... it's your turn to wait".

PLATOON TURNS AND WALKS TO THE BACK TO SOME EVEN MORE HEAT.

JBL: "Good move.... I like that decision".

Cole: "Chris Platoon is just playing head games now and I don't know if Ric Flair's the guy you want to do that with".

JBL: "It's just like he said, he waited, now Flair can do the same".

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF ACTION FIGURES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR GATORADE.

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "NO LEAF CLOVER" BY METALLICA HITS, BRINGING EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA OUT TO SOME LOUD BOOS.

Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime and it is time for tonight's main event"!

JBL: "This match has been looked forward to since it was announced, Michael, and it should live up to it's billing".

"LIT UP" BY BUCKCHERRY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT ALONG WITH TRACI BROOKS TO MOSTLY BOOS. HE HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "At the Royal Rumble, Axl Irvin will defend that title against two of the men in this match and you know that he is out to prove something".

JBL: "Going into the Elimination Chamber match at War in the Winter, no one gave Axl a snowball's chance in hell of winning the Universal title and now that he has, he is ready to silence the doubters once again"!

"BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE HITS AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT ALONG WITH EDGE.

Cole: "How ironic is it that Edge gave Randy Orton the idea to make the triple threat match at the Rumble a ladder match and now, Orton has selected him as his partner tonight".

JBL: "I wouldn't call Edge and Orton the best of friends, but they have a mutual respect for one another and that's what makes them a great team for this type of match".

"THE TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A MIXTURE OF A RESPONSE, BUT THE CHEERS ARE DEFINITELY LOUDER THAN THE BOOS.

Cole: "John Cena will partake in the Royal Rumble match and he's a guy who knows what it's like to win it"!

JBL: "Look at The Saint"!

AS CENA HEADED TO THE RING, EDDIE SAINT JAMES WENT RIGHT AFTER HIM, MEETING HIM IN THE AISLE. BUT RATHER THAN GOING AFTER EACH OTHER, AXL IRVIN, RANDY ORTON AND EDGE ALL JUMPED IN ON CENA. CENA WAS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE UNTIL "BACK IN BLACK" HIT AND JORDAN ROCKWELL CHARGED DOWN THE RAMP, HITTING WHATEVER MOVED.

Triple Threat Tornado Tag Team Match

Randy Orton and Edge vs. Axl Irvin and Eddie Saint James w/ Traci Brooks and Monica vs. Jordan Rockwell and John Cena

The rules of this match allowed all 6 men to be in the ring at once, but it probably could've used an additional referee because Mike Chioda had his hands full. Outside the ring is where most of the action took place and the brawl outside lasted about minutes before Cena overtook The Saint and rolled him into the ring. Cena was all over The Saint, fighting back after being attacked as he came to the ring. After a release fisherman suplex, Cena set up for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, but when he hit the ropes, Monica grabbed his foot. Cena reached down and grabbed Monica by the hair, but Randy Orton came over and booted Cena in the side of the head. Edge then got into the ring and sized Cena up for the spear, but Rockwell came in and tackled Edge as he was in mid move. Rockwell then got up and countered an "RKO" attempt from Orton before he and Cena eyed each other and turned their focus to The Saint. But before they could do anything, Axl came from behind and hit both men in the back with hard shots. Edge ran over and took Rockwell over the top rope with a clothesline and The Saint went after Cena again. That left Randy Orton nose to nose with the man who he says has his "property", Axl Irvin. After a verbal exchange, Orton threw a right hand but Axl responded with one of his own. Axl then used a thumb to the eye before throwing a clothesline but Orton ducked it and caught him with a pretty dropkick. Orton then went to hit the ropes, but Traci pulled the top rope and Orton went tumbling to the floor. Axl then got up and he and The Saint double teamed Cena with boots in the corner. Rockwell got back in to help his partner, spinning The Saint around and catching him with a right hand and then laying Axl down with one. But when he turned around, Edge drilled him with the spear. Edge went for the cover, but Axl was there to break it up. Cena came over and caught Axl with a big clothesline before picking Edge up and putting him back down with the "F-U". He made the cover, but The Saint pulled him off, dragging him under the bottom rope and to the floor. Meanwhile, Axl had gotten into the ring and covered Edge for the win.

Match Time: 6:05

Cole: "You gotta be kidding me! Axl Irvin stole that one"!

JBL: "Just like everyone says he stole the title! The bottom line, Michael, is he is a winner! I can see how you'd have a problem grasping that"!

"LIT UP" PLAYED AGAIN AND AXL LEFT WITH TRACI BROOKS, THE TITLE HELD HIGH IN HIS RIGHT HAND WHILE THE CROWD BOOED.

Cole: "Well we'll see if he can do it again at the Royal Rumble! He's gonna need a lot more than luck to do it"!

OFF AIR.......
