Kemper Arena

Kansas City, Missouri

Attendance: 9,680

April 16, 2007

Just before WrestleMania, PrimeTime was in the state of Missouri and for the first show after the huge event, they returned to the Show Me State.

Domino w/ Cherry and Deuce vs. Robbie McCallister w/ Rory McCallister

2 of PrimeTime's young up and coming teams were showcased here but it was a singles match between a member of each side. The crowd booed the greasers from the time they entered the arena, but the very physical Domino dictated the pace of the match to Robbie. After avoiding a clothesline in the corner, Robbie got some offense in and nearly won the match after a nice powerslam. Robbie pulled Domino up and slung him to the corner but Domino avoided him charging in and rolled him up, getting both feet on the middle ring rope to steal the match.

Finlay vs. Chavo Guerrero

Coming off his impressive performance in the WrestleMania Jackpot, Finlay still looked a little banged up and Chavo was able to come in and get several near falls to nearly take the match. But when Chavo came off the top rope with a missile dropkick, the savvy veteran Finlay easily sidestepped him and that led to the "Celtic Cross", giving Finlay the win.

FINLAY GRABBED HIS SHILLELAGH AND LEFT TO PLENTY OF BOOS WHILE HIS MUSIC PLAYED.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

PRIMETIME OPENS UP WITH THE USUAL MONTAGE, WHICH NOW HAS NEW SHOTS OF PJ CASH, DEUCE AND DOMINO AS WELL AS BRIAN KENDRICK AND PAUL LONDON.

THE KEMPER ARENA, PUSHING NEARLY 10,000 FANS COMES INTO THE SHOT AND RIGHT OFF THE BAT, "THE TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO AN INCREDIBLE MIXTURE OF CHEERS AND BOOS WHICH EITHER WAY, IS VERY LOUD. WITH HIM IS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE, WHICH HE RAISES HIGH IN THE AIR.

Michael Cole: "What better way to start off this night than with the brand new Universal champion"?!

JBL: "I hate to say it, but I gotta give the devil his due, Michael. John Cena walked into the jam packed Superdome at WrestleMania and defeated Randy Orton right in the middle of that ring"!

Cole: "He did just that and in doing so, he became only the third man in TWF history to hold both the World and Universal titles over the course of a career"!

John Cena: "Kansas City........ the champ is here!

BOTH CHEERS AND SOME BOOS CAN BE HEARD.

Let me say this..... WrestleMania was crazy! Randy Orton, you came to fight, I'll give you that. But in the end, I did exactly what I said I would and I walked out of New Orleans with this!

CENA RAISES THE BELT IN THE AIR AGAIN.

So that brings us to tonight, Kansas City..... I mean, what else would I.........

JUST THEN, CENA IS INTERRUPTED WHEN "BURN IN MY LIGHT" PLAYS AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT IN A NICE DRESS SHIRT AND BLACK SLACKS. HE HAS A MICROPHONE IN HAND, BUT MAKES HIS WAY DOWN TO THE RING AND GETS IN.

Cole: "Well here comes the former champion and judging by the look on his face, the WrestleMania loss isn't sitting too well with him".

JBL: "Of course it's not! I know you've never had the experience to wrestle for a heavyweight title, one of many things you've never had the experience to do, Michael, but no one likes to lose"!

Randy Orton: "I see you think you're pretty special, don't ya? Too bad this crowd doesn't feel the same way! You can hear the boos a mile way for you, Cena! And wasn't it you who wrestled for the respect of the fans at last year's WrestleMania? Yeah, all the good that did! See, these people know a bad champion when they see one, and they want nothing more than to see that title back around my waist!

THE CROWD SHOWERS ORTON WITH BOOS.

Shut up! I don't give a damn what you people think, cause fact is, I'm gonna be excercising that rematch clause in my contract, Cena, and you can bet your ass that when I do, I'll be taking my title back"!

SUDDENLY, CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE, CARRYING THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE.

JBL: "Oh great, tell me this guy's not planning on talking! Anyone got a translater handy? We need someone who can comprehend stupid"!

Chris Masters: "Congratulations, Cena, that was a heck of a win at WrestleMania. And in case you didn't notice..... the Masterpiece hit the jackpot at WrestleMania!

MASTERS HOLDS UP THE BRIEFCASE AS ORTON AND CENA JUST LOOK ON.

So Orton, go ahead and use your rematch, cause I don't care if it's you or that wannabe rapper holding that belt, because if I decide to cash this in for a shot at the Universal title, it's gonna be mine"!

CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AGAIN AND HE STANDS ATOP THE STAGE, LOOKING BACK AT THE OTHER TWO MEN.

Cole: "So the Masterpiece has thrown his hat into this thing and the Universal title picture just got a little cloudy"!

JBL: "Don't assume that he's gonna cash that in for the Universal title, Michael, he has a shot at any heavyweight title in the TWF and if he's smart, which we both know he's not, he'd think this over"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

COMMERCIALS FOR BOTH SUBWAY AND THE GILLETTE FUSION SHAVER ARE SHOWN.

*DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, THIS EDITION OF RESULTS WILL BE CONDENSED FROM THIS POINT*

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

Sean O'Haire vs. Strife

Fresh off winning back the tag team titles at WrestleMania, the Blood Brothers were once again out to show their superiority, but this time in singles action. Sean O'Haire and Strife have both had their fair share of success in singles action, and it was the Locomotive who was able to use his size and power to dominate O'Haire. After reversing an irish whip, Strife kicked O'Haire right in the face with a big boot. He then lifted O'Haire up to the top turnbuckle, getting him in position for the Derailer, a move we haven't seen in some time. But before he could hit it, Dustin Kash came running out with his fighting staff in hand. Kash was at ringside, distracting referee Chris Kay when Bahamut came running out and he smashed Kash with a forearm in the back of the head. Kash dropped the staff, in landed in the ring. Strife went to pick it up but when he turned around with it, O'Haire came flying off the top rope with an incredible spinning martial arts kick right to the head. Kay still had his attention on what had become a brawl between Dustin Kash and Bahamut and O'Haire took the staff, jamming it into the side of the head of Strife and the covered him, yelling at Kay to turn around. Kay turned and dropped to the mat, registering the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:37

AFTER THE MATCH, O'HAIRE WENT OUTSIDE THE RING AND STRUCK BAHAMUT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE STAFF. THE BLOOD BROTHERS THEN GOT INTO THE RING AND TOOK OUT STRIFE WITH THEIR CLOTHESLINE/RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBINATION, LEAVING THE LEGENDARY TEAM LYING BEFORE HEADING UP THE RAMP TO TONS OF BOOS WHILE "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE PLAYED.

Cole: "The Blood Brothers have sent a message to Strife and Bahamut with that vile attack"!

JBL: "You're damn right they did, Michael. They are sick and tired of hearing about how Strife and Bahamut are the best tag team in TWF history..... they're ready to take over that spot themselves"!

Cole: "Well with their performance at WrestleMania, it adds a lot of credence to that claim. But speaking of WrestleMania, John, who will ever forget what was arguably the biggest event in TWF history"?

"I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU" BY THREE DAYS GRACE STARTS TO PLAY AS A VIDEO PACKAGE FROM WRESTLEMANIA 8 ROLLS.

IT SHOWS EYE SPY AND WORLD's GREATEST TAG TEAM BRAWLING TO A DOUBLE COUNT OUT FOLLOWED BY JOHNNY HAZARD PINNING EDDIE SAINT JAMES INSIDE A LOUNGE OF THE SUPERDOME. TAZ DEFEATS KEVIN THORN BEFORE MR.

VINCE McMAHON GETS INVOLVED AND NEARLY COSTS WAKEMAN THE TITLE. BUT WITH A GREAT COUNTER, WAKEMAN GETS ON THE SHARPSHOOTER AND MIKE TAPS OUT. AFTER THE MATCH, WAKEMAN LOCATES HIS FATHER IN THE CROWD, CELEBRATING WITH HIM AS THE SONG COMES TO AN END, AS DOES THE VIDEO.

BACKSTAGE AREA.....

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, CHRIS MASTERS IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN EDGE COMES UP.

Edge: "Well, I guess you think you're pretty damn special, don't ya? What the hell happened to our plan, huh"?

Chris Masters: "Come on man, you didn't really think I was gonna sacrifice my own chance to win the WrestleMania Jackpot, so you could win it"?

Edge: "Yeah, yeah I did. Because then it would be me who had a guaranteed title shot, not someone who will never be on that level. I mean, Chris Masters winning the WrestleMania Jackpot has about the same ring to it as Val Venis, TWF World champion or, Charlie Haas, winner of the Royal Rumble".

Masters: "What are you trying to say"?

Edge: "I'm saying that you might have that briefcase, but you better have eyes in the back of your head too".

EDGE WALKS AWAY AS MASTERS LOOKS ON AND IS OBVIOUSLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OF WORDS.

BACK IN THE RING, "NEW WORLD DISORDER" BY BIOHAZARD IS PLAYING AND JOHNNY HAZARD IS IN THE RING WITH THE HAREM.

Johnny Hazard: "Cut that music!

THE SONG GOES OFF

Tonight, I wanted to do something a little different for you fans here in Kansas City....... we're gonna do things Hazard style!

THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER

So in celebration of me whipping Eddie Saint James' ass at WrestleMania, I'm gonna let you guys see a side of the Harem that you haven't seen before. These lovely ladies are ready to give you a show, so let's not waste any more time.... hit the music"!

A DANCE TUNE COMES ON AND THE 4 MEMBERS OF THE HAREM GO INTO A VERY SEXY DANCE.

Cole: "Whoa, look at this"!

JBL: "I can't stand Johnny Hazard, but I can't complain about this"!

Cole: "This is Hazard style"!

THE LADIES ALL START TO REMOVE ARTICLES OF CLOTHING WHEN SUDDENLY, CHAOS WOLF COMES FROM OUT OF THE CROWD, WIELDING A STEEL CHAIR.

Cole: "Oh wait a minute, Chaos Wolf is out here"!

THE HAREM SCATTERS AS WOLF POUNDS THE STEEL CHAIR OVER HAZARD's HEAD. THE MUSIC STOPS PLAYING AS WOLF BEGINS TO WEAR HAZARD OUT WITH THE CHAIR, HITTING HIM 8 OR 9 TIMES ACROSS THE BACK. WOLF THEN DROPS THE CHAIR AND LEAVES TO A LOT OF BOOS.

JBL: "Well I wish he would've picked a different time to do that"!

Cole: "Chaos Wolf is obviously returning the favor to Johnny Hazard after what happened to the leader of the Army of Darkness, Eddie Saint James, at WrestleMania"!

JBL: "And when Hazard regains conciousness, maybe one of these four lovely ladies can tell him that Chaos Wolf just turned his lights out"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

RETURN FROM BREAK.... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE......

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICE AND HE's ON THE PHONE.

Shane McMahon: "Delivery guys? Yeah, send 'em in".

JUST AS SHANE HANGS UP, EDGE ENTERS HIS OFFICE.

Edge: "We need to talk".

Shane: "Edge, I'm a little.......

Edge: "I'll make it quick. I think it's a damn joke that Chris Masters is walkin' around here with that WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase and I want a piece of him"!

Shane: "Oh, that's easy. In fact, I'll give you a piece of him tonight".

Edge: "Good........

EDGE LEAVES THE OFFICE AS TWO ODD LOOKING MEN COME INTO THE OFFICE PUSHING A LARGE CARDBOARD BOX ON A TWO WHEELER. THE TWO MEN ARE OBVIOUSLY IN DISGUISE.

Shane: "What the hell is this? I didn't order anything.

JUST THEN, SHANE REACHES OVER AND PULLS ONE OF THE MAN's HAT AND FAKE BEARD OFF, REVEALING IT TO BE PSYCHOSIS. HE THEN DOES THE SAME TO THE OTHER MAN AND IT's MACKENZIE ROSE.

What do you two think you're doing"?

Mackenzie Rose: "Special delivery from Muhammad Hassan".

Shane: "I don't want it. You take that box back to him and tell him to kiss my ass! In fact, if you two want to be on PrimeTime so bad, why don't you come back here next week and one of you can face Shane-O-Mac..... how's that"?!

PSYCHOSIS AND ROSE EACH GIVE SHANE A LONG STARE BEFORE LEAVING THE OFFICE, WITH THE BOX THEY BROUGHT.

"Back in Black" by AC/DC hits and Jordan Rockwell makes his way out in his street clothes to a big pop from the crowd.

Jordan Rockwell: "Ya know, over the past few weeks everyone keeps asking where is my head at or what is the deal with you and Shawn Michaels? Well I figure it is about time that I let all of you in on the story that needs to be told and I am sure that there will be a lot of people that I tick off but fact is I can honestly say that I couldn't give a rat's ass!

Back when I first came into the TWF, there was a group of guys running around here acting like they were God's gift to this business and they called themselves The Kliq. Back then that consisted of guys like Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and the guy you all know as Triple H plus the guy who I faced at WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels. Now I never had a run in with Michaels back then but I did with everyone else and the worst of all happened right after this occurred.

Footage airs of Jordan Rockwell pinning Triple H in a triple threat match featuring "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to become the TWF World champion five years ago at MeltDown.

Following that moment after I gave up the European and Intercontinental titles for the TWF World title, after being told that I was the guy and all this other crap, Triple H used the fact that he was married to the boss' daughter to his advantage and got himself put into a position where he could be next in line for a title shot and I had the title taken from me.

THE FANS BOO

And worst of all, he used his wedding ring to both black and low ball me by never giving me my rematch for the title and to also have me held back for the first full year of my career and if you wanna know how bad I was treated, ask that guy right down there at ringside....... Rockwell points down at JBL

cause he was one of the few guys that would actually give me the time of day when others looked at me like I had an STC or something, but ya see, there was a lot of guys that could have done something about it and they did not do a damn thing and one of them just happens to have been Shawn Michaels! Now what Shawn Michaels did was the same thing that Jim Ross did and the same thing that Vince McMahon did and that was not a damn thing! So every time I see Shawn Michaels, it takes me back to this time and well it gets me sick to my stomach and it just makes me want to take it out on him every time I am in this ring with him, I've got the desire to act on it! And as far as that time goes, I find it so ironic that now in 2007 all those guys are gone and I am here in the TWF and I am the best wrestler in the world today! THE FANS CHEER

Wouldn't you agree, Vince? I am the guy that puts more money in Vince McMahon's pockets than anyone back then or now, isn't that right, Vince?! Because you realized that you backed the wrong guy and you held the wrong guy down cause when all those guys walked out on you, I was the guy that picked the load up and carried it, when the GSE came knocking at your door and tried to take over, who was the guy that took those sons of bitches down?! Once again I believe that was me and I know a lot of you may be wondering, well if that is what happened, why did you stay? I did not stay for any of those jack offs, I did not stay for you Vince, I did not stay for Jim Ross and I damn sure did not stay for that little bitch you call a daughter.... I stayed and I became who I am because of each and every single one of these people and all of them around the world!

A HUGE "ROCKWELL" CHANT BREAKS OUT.

Oh and by the way, you're welcome, Vince!

But with that said, Shawn Michaels, I know you are here so I need you to come out here cause I got something to say and U will right to your face"!

Rockwell paces back and forth until "Sexy Boy" hits and Shawn Michaels makes his way to the ring to a big pop of his own.

Cole: "Well he's called out the Heartbreak Kid and here he comes"!

JBL: "What the hell is going on here, Cole? Am I the only one who is completely lost here"?

Rockwell: "Now Shawn, fact is, I've been holding this grudge for a long time and like I said, I blamed you for not stepping in and helping me out but after you beat me at WrestleMania, as down as I was, I had a moment of clarity, and I came to a realize something that I think I knew all a long".

Shawn Michaels: "Oh do tell, Franchise".

Rockwell: "The fact that if this did not occur I would not have had the motivation to become who I have become today and that is as I have said, the greatest showman in this business and the best wrestler in the world today! THE FANS POP AGAIN

So now, what I am going to do is simply let go of all my anger, frustration and hate and I am going to move on with my career and continue to cement my legacy as everything that I say that I am every single time I can! And now I am going to do one thing I shoulda done a while back.........

Rockwell drops his mic as does Michaels who gets into postion to fight but Rockwell extends his hand to Michaels, but instead of shaking it, Michaels picks the mic back up.

Michaels: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, let me get this straight. You come out here and whine and moan over something that happened five, maybe six years ago and then you want to shake my hand? Look man, you really do play the victim well, and maybe you got some people to buy into that crap, but I'm not one of them! After our match at WrestleMania, I offered my hand to you and what'd you do? You walked away. Now you know that I am someone who believes you earn your spot in this business! Back then, you were a little wet behind the ears rookie, and we weren't about to give you anything! Now if you are still mad about that and you still want to take it out on me, you go right ahead. But I won't come out here and say I'm sorry and shake your damn.......

Rockwell: "Okay, fine! You want me to earn my spot, then how about we go at it one more time! It seems to me that Foul Play is coming up and that sounds like a great place for a rematch....... an Iron Man match"!

Cole: "What"?!

JBL: "I don't know Rockwell, a match like that is right up HBK's alley"!

MICHAELS GETS A SLIGHT GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Michaels: "I like the sound of that..... I'll see you at Foul Play"!

MICHAELS DROPS HIS MICROPHONE AND LEAVES THE RING AS "SEXY BOY" HITS AGAIN. ROCKWELL JUST LOOKS ON.

Cole: "Shawn Michaels has accepted and if you ask me, Foul Play just became a can't miss event"!

JBL: "That'll be the rematch of all rematches, Michael! I love it"!

BACKSTAGE......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW RANDY ORTON AND AXL IRVIN TALKING. IT CAN'T PICK UP WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS DOES SHOW THE TWO MEN SHAKING HANDS.

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CHAOS WOLF IS SHOWN WITH JAMES MITCHELL WHEN VLAD THE IMPALER COMES UP, WITHOUT THE GAS MASK HE's BEEN COMPETING IN OF LATE.

Vlad the Impaler: "What the hell was that"?

Chaos Wolf: "What was what"?

Vlad: "I don't remember you talking to me about going out there and attacking Johnny Hazard tonight. The Saint had something different planned"!

Chaos Wolf: "Well I'm tired of sitting back and doing nothing and the second you get out of my face, I'm going to McMahon's office to challenge Hazard for a Lights Out match at Foul Play"!

Vlad the Impaler: "Oh really"?

VLAD AND WOLF GET IN EACH OTHER's FACE AND LOOK READY TO BRAWL, BUT JAMES MITCHELL STEPS IN.

James Mitchell: "That's enough men.... Vlad, let him by"!

MITCHELL PULLS VLAD OUT OF THE WAY AND CHAOS WOLF WALKS UP, PRESUMABLY TO GO TALK TO SHANE McMAHON.

"THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE HITS AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET IN CHEER AS CM PUNK MAKES HIS WAY OUT. HE SEEMS A LITTLE HOBBLED FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT. SUDDENLY, HIS SCHEDULED OPPONENT, CHRIS PLATOON, COMES OUT AND ATTACKS HIM FROM BEHIND. AFTER PUTTING THE BOOTS TO PUNK, A SEEMINGLY INSANE PLATOON PICKS PUNK UP AND DELIVERS THE "LAST CHANCE" RIGHT ON THE STEEL RAMP. PLATOON THEN LEAVES TO A HOARD OF BOOS AS OFFICIALS COME OUT TO CHECK ON PUNK, WHO IS IN OBVIOUS PAIN.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, TRACI BROOKS IS HAVING WHAT SHE THINKS IS A PRIVATE CELL PHONE CONVERSATION.

Traci Brooks: "Yeah, it's gonna be great and afterwards, Axl and I are gonna go out. What? Yeah, Randy Orton is on our side, so John Cena is in for a bad night. (laughs) Okay, well I better let you go..... bye".

TRACI ENDS THE CALL BUT THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW JOHN CENA EAVESDROPPING JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

PJ Cash vs. Carney

Carney matched up against the self made millionaire PJ Cash and the two had a very quick paced start to the match. After a hip toss slam, Cash pulled Carney up and whipped him to the corner but missed a bodysplash coming in. Carney then landed a flying came kick followed by a tornado DDT. Carney then went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a very pretty corkscrew legdrop, hooking the leg for the 1.......2........., but Cash was up. Carney then looked at the top of the stage and saw Daivari standing there with the Lightheavyweight title around his waist and a microphone in hand.

Daivari: "Hey, Carney! Right over here! Are you sure you should be in that ring, Carney? Are you sure you don't want to be at home with your family, after everything that has happened? Don't make me brings up the details, Carney, don't make me bring up your daughter"!

CARNEY FURIOUSLY KICKS THE ROPES, CHALLENGING DAIVARI TO COME TO THE RING. BUT CARNEY TURNS BACK AROUND AND CASH CATCHES HIM WITH THE "CASH REGISTER" WHICH LEADS TO THE 3 COUNT. DAIVARI DISAPPEARS AS CASH CELEBRATES THE WIN.

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

JOHN CENA APPROACHES BOBBY LASHLEY IN HIS DRESSING ROOM.

John Cena: "Hey man, what's up"?

LASHLEY TURNS AND SLAPS HANDS WITH CENA.

Bobby Lashley: "What's up, champ"?

Cena: "Ah, well I got this match with Axl tonight, right, but I can tell ya right now that Orton's gonna get involved, so I......

Lashley: "So you're looking for someone to have your back".

Cena: "Uh, yeah, kind of".

Lashley: "I can do that, but don't get too comfortable with that belt there, cause one of these days, I'd like to have it around my waist".

Cena (laughs): "Thanks Bobby".

CENA LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM AS LASHLEY JUST LOOKS ON.

Non-Title Match

Chris Masters vs. Intercontinental Champion: Edge

As soon as Masters got into the ring, a rabid Edge was all over him. After firing right hands and kicks at the Masterpiece, Edge hit the ropes, looking for the spear, but Masters moved and Edge went through the ring ropes to the floor. Masters followed him out and took over the match after picking Edge up and driving him into the steel ring post, back first. Masters rolled Edge back into the ring and continued to use his power to wear Edge down. After a running powerslam, Masters got up, holding his arms out, stalking Edge. Edge got up and Masters got on the vaunted "Masterlock", shaking Edge around. Somehow, Edge was able to will himself to the ring ropes to earn a break. Masters released the hold and Edge went to the outside of the ring again, grabbing the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase. Masters reached through the top and middle ring ropes, grabbing Edge by the hair. But Edge took the briefcase and smacked Masters in the head with it, right in front of referee Charles Robinson. Robinson called for the bell, disqualifying Edge. But Edge wasn't upset about the disqualification and seemed happy about the fact that he had laid Masters out.

Match Time: 6:20

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, MARIA IS SHOWN CHASING AFTER CARNEY, TRYING TO GET A WORD WITH HIM. BUT CARNEY HAS A DUFFEL BAG OVER HIS SHOULDER AND LEAVES THE ARENA, THROWING THE DOOR OPEN, WITHOUT SAYING A WORD.

Gabriel Cross vs. Tanaka w/ Sonny Onoo

Gabriel Cross made his highly anticipated TWF debut against one half of the Orient Express. Cross started the match by offering Tanaka a handshake, and Tanaka accepted. This match showcased the martial arts skills of Tanaka against the judo prowess of Cross, and the crowd was very much into it. After escaping a clinch on the mat, Tanaka pasted Cross with a crescent kick and backed him into the corner where he blasted his chest with 3 hard knifedge chops. Tanaka then whipped Cross to the far corner and followed in but Cross slung over him and kicked him in the back of the right leg. Tanaka's knee buckled and Cross delivered a DDT with Tanaka on his knees. Quickly, Cross went into a nasty judo style armbar, pulling back on the right arm of Tanaka at a very painful looking angle and Tanaka quickly tapped out.

Match Time: 5:11

BACKSTAGE......

JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH SHANE McMAHON.

Shane McMahon: "Well, I just talked with Shawn, and he's going back to Texas to train for the Iron Man match with Jose Lithario so I will go ahead and give you next week off, so that you can do the same".

Jordan Rockwell: "Fine with me. Oh, and good luck against that piece of crap, Hassan, you know where to find me if you need help".

ROCKWELL WALKS OFF BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

Taz vs. Kato w/ Sonny Onoo

Taz took on the other half of the Orient Express, Kato. Seeing how his partner performed earlier, Kato wanted to give Sonny Onoo something to smile about and he came out very strong against the street thug, using kicks to the head and body to set up a nerve hold. But Taz worked his way up and escaped Kato's clutches before putting on a suplex exhibition that rattled Kato. Kato was able to escape the "Tazmission" before using a hangman to set up some more martial arts chops to the throat and chest. Kato then tried to german suplex Taz, but Taz went into a go behind followed by a german suplex of his own. Taz made a throat slash gesture when Onoo got onto the apron. Onoo fumbled through his coat pocket, obviously looking for his salt. But referee Mike Enos came over, trying to force Onoo down when Kevin Thorn ran down to the ring. Taz reached through the ring ropes, trying to swing at him but Thorn took his walking stick and jammed it right into the throat of Taz. Ariel came down to the ring and she was all smiles as Kato schoolboyed Taz and picked up the huge upset win.

Match Time: 10:48

AFTER THE MATCH, THORN CAME INTO THE RING AND HIT TAZ AGAIN WITH THE WALKING STICK BEFORE RECEIVING PLENTY OF BOOS FROM THE CROWD. AS THORN's MUSIC PLAYED, HE LEFT AS ARIEL DID HER BAT-LIKE POSE ON THE RING ROPES.

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

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

Non-Title Match

Axl Irvin w/ Traci Brooks vs. Universal Champion: John Cena

The bell sounded and Axl Irvin walked right up and slapped Cena across the face, showing nothing but disrespect. Cena responded with a right hand before knocking Axl into the corner. Cena then went for an irish whip but Axl reversed it and when Cena came back, Axl drilled him with a clothesline. After 3 hard right hands, Axl hit the ropes, looking for a clothesline but Cena ducked and turned it into his spinning side suplex. Cena then hit the 5 Knuckle Shuffle but that's when things began to break down. Randy Orton hit the ring, attacking Cena which led to a disqualification. But Orton and Axl were all over Cena like a pack of dogs. But a huge pop from the crowd signaled help was on the way and Bobby Lashley hit the ring, knocking down anything that moved. After clotheslining Axl over the top rope, Lashley lifted Orton up for a gorilla press and threw him over the tope rope, right onto Axl. The crowd wildly cheered as Lashley's music hit and he helped Cena to his feet before the shot faded out..........

Match Time: 2:25
