PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR AND THE SHOT OPENS DIRECTLY IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA. A CONCERNED MARIA HAS FOUND JORDAN ROCKWELL.

Maria: "Jordan, how do you plan to survive your handicap match tonight against Chaos Wolf and Vlad the Impaler"?

Jordan Rockwell: "Survive? Survive, Maria? Heh, not only will I survive, I have those two punks right where I want them".

ROCKWELL WALKS AWAY AS PRIMETIME's OPENING MONTAGE KICKS ON AND "RAP SUPERSTAR" BEFORE THE KOHL CENTER COMES INTO THE SHOT.

Michael Cole: "We have hit the stretch run on the road to WrestleMania as we come to you live from Madison, Wisconsin"!

THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET IN LOUD CHEER AS "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE HITS AND CM PUNK COMES OUT TO A MAJOR POP.

JBL: "And we're not gonna waste any time getting to the action in the ring, Michael, as one of PrimeTime's top superstars, CM Punk is ready and this crowd loves it"!

Cole: "CM Punk has qualified for the WrestleMania Jackpot match but he's got a tough draw tonight as the TWF Lightheavyweight champion, Daivari, waits in the ring"!

DAIVARI IS SHOWN WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST, ALREADY IN THE RING.

JBL: "And you're right about that, Michael, Daivari is no pushover and a win here over CM Punk might elevate him into that Jackpot match"!

Non-Title

CM Punk vs. Lightheavyweight Champion: Daivari

Right after Punk got into the ring, an oppurtunistic Daivari attacked him, hammering him with right hands before kicking him in the ribs. But off an irish whip, Daivari went for a leapfrog only to have Punk snatch him right out of the air into a powerslam. After a running senton bomb, Punk pulled Daivari up and whipped him to the corner, following in with a flying knee to the head and jaw area. Daivari was in a lot of trouble, but he slowed Punk down with a thumb to the eye and then whipped Punk into the corner before using a nice bicycle kick. Punk threw a clothesline but Daivari ducked and immediately caught him with a jumping calf kick. The left arm of Punk became the focus of Daivari as he wrenched it and pulled at it, contorting the arm in many positions. With both men on their feet, Daivari used an arm wringer but Punk pulled him in with his right arm and hit the Uranagi out of nowhere, hooking the leg to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:29

Cole: "Wow.... what a counter by Punk who at WrestleMania, will have the chance to earn a future title shot, John"!

JBL: "Yes but at WrestleMania, he will be competing against five other guys who will all be trying to climb a ladder to grab a briefcase"!

"THIS FIRE BURNS" PLAYED AGAIN AND PUNK HAPPILY CELEBRATED WITH THE JUBILANT CROWD.

Cole: "Well I know I'm a PrimeTime guy but I have to say, I really like CM Punk's chances in the WrestleMania Jackpot match"!

THE SHOT IS SENT BACKSTAGE WHERE EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA ARE SHOWN IN A DRESSING ROOM.BACKSTAGE AREA.......

Monica: "Like I told you, Eddie, there was just some misunderstanding, Johnny's still in this with us".

Eddie Saint James: "You sure about that"?

Monica: "He and I worked out a new deal and I think it's safe to say you'll defeat Lashley tonight to qualify for the WrestleMania Jackpot".

Saint James: "Good..... I guess we better get ready then".

THE SHOT FADES OUT

Bahamut: "I can't believe we have to team with this guy tonight, do you know anything about the Boogeyman"?

STRIFE JUST MUMBLES SOMETHING.

Bahamut: "Well we know he's a freak who likes to eat worms, but if he can help us get a title shot nexct week, so be it".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "NO LEAF CLOVER" BY METALLICA HITS AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES COMES DOWN THE AISLE ALONG WITH MONICA TO A LOT OF BOOS.

Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime here on FOX and while Strife and Bah search for the Boogeyman, we are about to add another participant into the WrestleMania Jackpot match"!

JBL: "And what an oppurtunity this is for Eddie Saint James, Michael, who could add to the fact that he went to the finals of the King of the Ring tournament with a chance to win a future Universal or World title shot"!

THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AND POPS AS BOBBY LASHLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HIS PYRO POUNDS OFF ON THE STAGE AS HE COMES OUT WITH A VERY FOCUSED LOOK IN HIS EYES.

Cole: "Yeah, but now reality sets in. For The Saint to qualify for the Jackpot match, all he's gotta do is beat the former Intercontinental champion Lashley"!

JBL: "Why does everybidy have pyro these days?! Bobby Lashley is a great competitor, no doubt about it, but he's still got a lot to prove before he can walk out here like he's the star of the show"!

Cole: "Lashley, the powerhouse, set to lock up with the crafty and very cynical Eddie Saint James, with Monica looking on from ringside".

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying Match

Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. Bobby Lashley

The bell rang to start the match and the two men locked up, with Lashley easily thrusting The Saint into the corner, showing him his serious power. The Saint locked up with him again, but found a similar result. Not to be outdone, Saint James went to lock up with the big man again but this time, he just stomped on his right foot before popping him with a right hand. The Saint then went for an irish whip but Lashley reversed it, only to drop his head a moment to soon and The Saint capitalized with a swinging neckbreaker. Saint James then dropped down to the mat and dug the base of his forearm into the bridge of Lashley's nose. Lashley forced Saint James off, but once on his feet, The Saint just kicked him right in the ribs. Monica really liked what she saw but it didn't last long. As Eddie Saint James went to the middle turnbuckle, Lashley got up and grabbed him under the right shoulder and just threw him across the ring. He then steamrolled him with 3 hard clotheslines which really got the crowd fired up. After a gorilla press slam by Lashley, Monica looked towards the entrance and waved her arms, as if to call someone on. But no one came out, and the onslaught continued. Lashley missed with a clothesline the corner and The Saint dropkicked his right kneecap before driving him into the mat with a DDT. But he barely managed a 2 count and after hitting the ropes, Lashley picked him up with basically one arm and slammed him into the mat with a release spinebuster. The crowd knew the end was near and Lashley lifted The Saint up, delivering the Dominator with plenty of impact before rolling him over for the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 7:43

Cole: "Add Lashley's name to the list of competitors in the WrestleMania Jackpot match"!

JBL: "And add Johnny Hazard's name to the list of liars..... he didn't come out again"!

MONICA WAS BESIDE HERSELF AS SHE LOOKED AT THE FALLEN SAINT WHILE LASHLEY's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE CELEBRATED THE BIG WIN.

Cole: "Who knows what's going on there, but later tonight, Hazard will try to do what Lashley just did when he takes on Edge in another qualifying matchup"!

BACKSTAGE......

TAZ IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE ARIEL.

Ariel: "Hey Taz......

Taz: "What the......

Ariel: "A few nights ago, Kevin and I were at a club and a fight broke out.... Kevin beat some guy up pretty bad. He and I, we go out a lot and this isn't the first time this has happened".

Taz: "Your point"?

Ariel: "Well, we're kind of looking for someone to join us, to see what it's like on our side".

Taz: "Your side"?

Ariel: "Yeah, so what do you say, Taz and Kevin Thorn"?

Taz: "No........

TAZ GOES TO WALK AWAY BUT ARIEL GETS IN HIS PATH. TAZ FORCEFULLY SHOVES HER AND SHE IS SENT BACK A GOOD 3-4 FEET.

I said no"!

TAZ WALKS OFF BUT THE CAMERA SHOWS AN EVIL LOOK IN ARIEL's EYES.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE "LIT UP" BY BUCKCHERRY IS PLAYING AND AXL IRVIN IS COMING OUT WITH A VIDEOTAPE IN HIS HAND. TRACI BROOKS FOLLOWS HIM, AND SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO TALK HIM OUT OF SOMETHING.

JBL: "Don't ever put your hands on a woman, Taz, big mistake".

Cole: "Well here comes our former Universal champion Axl Irvin and his girlfriend, Traci"!

AXL GRABS THE MICROPHONE FROM HOWARD FINKEL AND HOLDS UP THE TAPE.

Axl Irvin: "Ya didn't think I'd come out here, Traci, did ya? Last week, my beautiful girlfriend, Traci, decided to give me a tape of something she thought would "help me out". So I pop the tape in, and it's basically a greatest hits edition for your hero, Stone Cold Steve Austin!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS.

Now, I've talked to Traci and she knows how I feel about this, but come to find out, Austin was her favorite wrestler, someone who gave her a lot of inspiration to get into this business no less. So for that, I guess I owe Mr. Austin a bit of a thank you, but here's what I won't stand for. Austin..... I don't need to watch tape of you to get better, but what I did see in these tapes are many weaknesses, weaknesses I think I can exploit! Turns out, we got WrestleMania coming up, so I thought, what better way than for me to prove this than to face you at the biggest event of the year"!

Cole: "Oh my"!

Axl: "So I will give you until next week, Austin, before I come to that trash hole in Texas to find your ass"!

AXL DROPS THE MIC AS "LIT UP" HITS AGAIN.

Cole: "What has Traci Brooks gotten her man into? Axl Irvin has just issued a WrestleMania challenge to one of the all time greats"!

JBL: "I love what Axl just did! We need more guys like him and Austin..... you have next week to answer"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK..........

COMMERCIALS FOR FRONTIER AIRLINES AND DR. PEPPER ARE SHOWN.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE BLOOD BROTHERS ARE SHOWN HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH SNITSKY. NOTHING CAN BE HEARD, BUT THEY SEEM TO BE STRESSING THE IMPORTANCE OF TONIGHT's MATCH WITH HIM.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND SHOWS SUPER CRAZY INSIDE, HITTING THE ROPES AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS.

JUST THEN, "FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN COMES ON AND OUT COMES CHRIS PLATOON TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS.

Cole: "We welcome everyone back to TWF PrimeTime and here comes a man slowly moving up the ranks of most hated superstar, the crowd despises this guy".

JBL: "Who cares what these people think, Michael! I am truly starting to enjoy Chris Platoon, he is grabbing the oppurtunity he has here on PrimeTime by the horns"!

Cole: "Super Crazy will provide the opposition tonight but it was last week when Platoon criticized the company for mentioning The Rock going into the Hall of Fame and not putting him on the show".

JBL: "And I can't blame him for that, Michael, guys like The Rock are yesterday's news! This company needs to focus on the stars it has now, guys like Chris Platoon".

Chris Platoon vs. Super Crazy

The bell sounded and the two men circled each other, trying to formulate a strategy. Crazy moved in but Platoon got in a big knee to the gut before sending him to the ropes. But Crazy dove through his legs and then drilled him with a spinning heel kick. After a standing moonsault got him a 2 count, Crazy pulled Platoon up and shot him to the corner, following in with a monkey flip. But when Platoon blocked it, he landed on the mat hard on the back of his head. Platoon then connected with a big clothesline before hitting the ropes and dropping a knee right on the head of the Mexican superstar. Platoon pulled Crazy to his feet but Crazy got a few shots into the midsection before pulling Platoon down chin first onto his knees, a devastating variation of a jawbreaker. From there, Crazy connected with a version of the Diamond Cutter and he had Platoon in a lot of trouble as he went to the top rope. Looking for his signature moonsault, Crazy flew off, only to land right on the knees of Platoon. Crazy grabbed his midsection in a lot of pain but was able to stand up, only to have Platoon kick him in the gut again and deliver the "Last Chance" to pick up the win.

Match Time: 5:07

JBL: "There ya go, Chris! Chalk another one up for Mister Platoon"!

Cole: "A very impressive win, no doubt, but John, I'm being told right now that the latest inductee into this year's Hall of Fame class is gonna be announced..... right now"!

Class of 2007 Hall of Fame Inductee- Ron Simmons

Ron Simmons broke out onto the wrestling scene after a stellar football career at Florida State, where he remains one of the only players to ever have his jersey retired. After several great years in both the NWA and WCW, Simmons was one of the original signings for the TWF, forming the powerhouse team known as the Acolytes, with his good friend, Bradshaw. After the TWF implemented the roster split, this team was broken up forever. But it didn't take Simmons long to return to his glory as a singles star, acquiring the services of Teddy Long to help form one of the more infamous groups in TWF history- Civil Rights. With Simmons as the top gun of the group, he entered the first and only Gates of Hell match in TWF history at War in the Winter in December of 2002. Simmons was not the most recognizable star in the match, but he ended up becoming TWF World champion. At that year's Royal Rumble, Simmons put not only the title, but also his career on the line against The Undertaker, a match which would be his last. Simmons is being honored for his great athletic ability, his many contributions to this business, and a career which we will never forget.

BACK IN THE ARENA, JBL IS SHOWN, STANDING AND CLAPPING WITH THE REST OF THE CROWD.

JBL: "I love it, Michael, what a perfect choice for this year's Hall of Fame. It's not often you see me get emotional, but I'm damn sure about to".

Cole: "Let's send it over to Maria, who is standing with the Universal champion, Randy Orton"!

BACKSTAGE.....

Maria: "Randy, at Code Red..... how should I put this..... you and your partner Mark Henry came up.......

Randy Orton: "We lost! Go ahead and say it Maria! John Cena and Travis Wakeman..... it took both of you to beat me in that match! At WrestleMania, Cena, it's just gonna be you and me, man on man and your little F-U, which I proved at Code Red that I can escape from, is not going to help you. I'm gonna catch you when you least expect it, Cena, and when I do, there's just three letters you'll have stuck in your head..... R.......K......O"!

ORTON WALKS OFF AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

JUST THEN, "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND EDGE STEPS OUT OF A SMOKE-FILLED ENTRANCE TO THOUSANDS OF BOOS WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "And John Cena will be in action later tonight when he battles Johnny Nitro, but right now, we've got our second WrestleMania Jackpot qualifying match"!

JBL: "We've already seen Bobby Lashley get into that match, now it's either gonna be Edge or Johnny Hazard, unless he's still hiding"!

Cole: "Who says he's hiding? He just didn't come out to help Eddie Saint James two weeks in a row now"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS "NEW WORLD DISORDER" BY BIOHAZARD COMES ON AND THE HAREM LEADS JOHNNY HAZARD TO THE RING.

JBL: "There he is..... he is gonna show his face tonight"!

Cole: "Damn right he is, this is his chance to get into a major match at WrestleMania"!

WrestleMania JackPot Qualifying Match

Intercontinental Champion: Edge vs. Johnny Hazard

Knowing the stakes were high, both men came out swinging but it was Hazard who got the best of that, knocking Edge to the mat with a stiff right hand. He then shot him to the ropes, sending him up with a backbody drop. Edge got to his feet, but Hazard met him with several more punches but after missing with a clothesline, Edge scored with the Edge-O-Matic. Edge then put the boots to Hazard before taunting the Harem. After a snap suplex, Edge was well in control as he went to the top rope, coming off with a perfect missile dropkick. Edge scrambled to make the cover, but Hazard was up at 2. Edge continued to pour it on, kicking Hazard in the corner before shooting him to the far side. But as Edge charged in, Hazard stuck a big foot in his face before exploding out with a swinging neckbreaker. Hazard then went to the top rope himself, connecting with a nice flying clothesline. Edge looked like he was in a lot of trouble, but Eddie Saint James came out to the ring, distracting Hazard. As the two men argued, Edge readied himself on the other side of the ring, slamming into Hazard with the spear when he turned around. Edge made the cover and hooked the leg, getting the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:04

Cole: "A distraction from Eddie Saint James has allowed Edge to move on to WrestleMania"!

JBL: "If Johnny Hazard had his mind on the WrestleMania Jackpot match, he would've never allowed us to happen, Michael"!

Cole: "What's this, The Saint has the microphone"!

Eddie Saint James: "What's the matter, Johnny, did I cost you a match?! Now you know how I feel! For two weeks, I've been waiting for you to follow through on our plan and you have left me hanging! We could be the most dominant force ever..... you know.......

JUST THEN, HAZARD IS HANDED A MICROPHONE OF HIS OWN.

Johnny Hazard: "Eddie, I tried to tell Monica this, but I'm just gonna come out and say it! I don't want anything to do with you or your Army of Darkness"!

HAZARD DROPS THE MIC AND JUST STARES ON AT A SURPRISED SAINT BEFORE THE SHOT FADES OUT.

Shane McMahon: "His contract is almost complete and I agree with you, I think you guys will make a great tag team".

JUST THEN, THE DOOR BURSTS OPEN AND CHRIS PLATOON COMES IN, LOOKING A LITTLE HOSTILE.

Chris Platoon: "Do you really have it out for me, McMahon"?

Shane: "Uh... I don't know what you're talking about".

Platoon: "Tonight, after I decisively defeat Super Crazy, we get the announcement that Ron Simmons will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. Do you know how tired of the Hall of Fame I already am?! So McMahon, I want you to take a message to your Hall of Fame class, past or present. I am offering a challenge for any one of those "legends" to face me in the ring at WrestleMania, and we'll see who deserves all the attention".

PLATOON WALKS OUT OF THE OFFICE AS SHANE JUST LOOKS AT LONDON, WHO SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS.

6 Man Tag Team Match

The Blood Brothers and Snitsky vs. Strife, Bahamut and The Boogeyman

A shot at the tag team titles hung in the balance for The Blood Brothers as well as Strife and Bahamut, and that led to a chaotic match. The Boogeyman was easily the wild card as neither Dustin Kash nor Sean O'Haire was real eager to get into the ring with him. That left Snitsky to battle him and after getting past his weird body movements and gyrations, Snitsky did quite well for himself, drilling him with a running boot to the head. But Bahamut broke up the pin attempt, setting off a wild brawl. Dustin Kash clotheslined Bahamut over the top rope, following him out but Sean O'Haire tried to take Strife out of the ring but missed a flying hook kick and the Locomotive dumped O'Haire over the top. But when he turned back around, Snitsky was waiting with a kick to the face and a second knocked Strife over the ropes. Snitsky then grabbed the Boogeyman, going for his sidewinder slam. But Boogeyman countered with a hip toss before locking both hands around Snitsky's throat. He then lifted him up, showing uncanny strength before falling to the mat, driving the massive Snitsky into it. As referee Mickey Henson completed the 3 count, Boogeyman regergetated several worms onto the face of Snitsky.

Match Time: 6:09

The Boogeyman celebrated the win with Strife and Bahamut, who had just earned a tag team title match next week on PrimeTime.

Handicap Match

Chaos Wolf and Vlad the Impaler w/ James Mitchell vs. Jordan Rockwell

Rockwell was definitely the underdog here as Wolf and Vlad were just licking their chops, waiting to get their hands on the Franchise. Referee Charles Robinson informed Wolf and Vlad that they would have to tag in and out and it was Wolf who tried his hand first. Rockwell grabbed him in a standing side headlock but Wolf countered out with a backdrop suplex. He then pulled Rockwell up and shot him to the ropes but Rockwell came flying off with a clothesline. After drilling Vlad with a right hand, Rockwell went back to Wolf but Wolf used a lowblow that Robinson never saw. Vlad tagged in to the match and went right at the ribs of Rockwell, kicking and punching him on the exposed right side. After a headbutt to the ribs, Vlad whipped Rockwell to the corner and tagged in Wolf, who Vlad slung into Rockwell with a body splash. Wolf then grabbed the back of Rockwell's head, running him right into the boot of Vlad. Wolf made the cover, but Rockwell was up after a count of 2. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before they put Rockwell down for good and after a nasty DDT from Wolf, he tagged in Vlad who set Rockwell across his knee. Wolf then went to the top rope, coming off with a flying elbow drop very similar to Demolition's old signature move. Wolf made the cover, but again, Rockwell was up at 2. As Vlad distraced Robinson, Wolf set Rockwell over the middle rope and allowed James Mitchell to get in a few slaps across the face. Wolf then used a russian leg sweep and Rockwell immediately grabbed the back of his head. Vlad then connected with a big legdrop into the cover but once again, it wasn't enough. It seemed as though Wolf and Vlad were about to do away with the rules of the match as Vlad asked for a steel chair to be brought into the match, and Wolf went outside the ring to grab one. But just as he was about to get into the ring with it, the crowd exploded in cheers as of all people, Shawn Michaels came running out and drilled Wolf with the superkick! Robinson immediately called for the bell as Michaels slid into the ring and ducked a clothesline from Vlad, catching him with the "Sweet Chin Music" as well!

Match Time: 6:38

JBL: "What the hell is this?! What is Shawn Michaels doing on PrimeTime"?!

AS "SEXY BOY" BEGAN TO PLAY, JORDAN ROCKWELL STOOD UP AND HE AND MICHAELS LOOKED LONG AND HARD AT ONE ANOTHER BEFORE ROCKWELL SHOOK HIS HAND AND THE CROWD LET OUT A TREMENDOUS ROAR.

Cole: "I don't think I know the answer to that, John, but even though Rockwell has been disqualified, it looks like this was his plan all along"!

JBL: "I don't believe this"!

JAMES MITCHELL PULLED WOLF AND VLAD, WHO WERE ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS, TOWARDS THE BACK WHILE MICHAELS AND ROCKWELL LOOKED ON FROM THE RING BEFORE THE SHOT FADED OUT.

Johnny Nitro vs. John Cena

In the main event of the night, Johnny Nitro really gave the number one contender a struggle, taking Cena to the limit with several explosive moves. After a russian leg sweep off the middle turnbuckle, Nitro connected with some sort of breakdance move into a legdrop that got a 2 and 7/8 count. Frustrated by coming oh so close, Nitro went to the top rope and came off with a Randy Savage double axe handle, but Cena drove his right fist into his midsection. After delivering his spinning side suplex, Cena hit the 5 Knuckle Shuffle and the crowd was now firmly behind him. Cena went in to lock on the STFU, but Nitro had it scouted, immediately getting to the ropes. Referee Mike Chioda then pulled Cena back and when he went back in, Nitro poked him in the eye. He then loaded up his right foot and when Cena got up, he went for a roundhouse kick that, if he connected with, he might've knocked Cena out. But instead, he found himself on the shoulders of Cena and on the receiving end of an "F-U". Cena then made the cover and Chioda pounded the mat 3 times to end the match.

Match Time: 9:39

Cole: "And Cena continues to build steam heaidng into his showdown at WrestleMania! Johnny Nitro made him work for it tonight.......

JBL: "Here comes our champ! There's Randy Orton..........

RANDY ORTON CAME INTO THE RING, WAITING FOR CENA TO TURN AROUND.

Cole: "Turn around, John"!

"THE TIME IS NOW" THEN HIT AS CENA STOOD TALL IN THE RING.

Cole: "Once again, Randy Orton's plan has failed"!

JBL: "Trust me, Cena, you won't know the time or the place, but sometime between now and WrestleMania, you will feel the RKO"!
