Cole: "And we are starting things off with the Universal champion and JBL, John Cena is a controversial superstar wherever we go, but he seems to be a big favorite here in Jersey"!

JBL: "These fans are showing the champ some respect, and like it or not, he's earned it"!

John Cena: "First things first, I have to get this off my chest!

CENA HOLDS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

The champ is here!

MOST OF THE CROWD CHEERS, THOUGH SOME BOOS ARE HEARD.

Last week, I came out here and interrupted Joe Corey, before he put all of you to sleep, because it's time to see who wants to get in there for a shot at this at MeltDown.

CENA AGAIN HOLDS THE BELT UP.

Now, some might say that Joe Corey, your current ECW World champion, deserves the shot.

THE CROWD BOOS

On the other hand, Bobby Lashley came to me and straight up asked for a shot. So, what to do? Well I got to thinkin', and talkin' to Shane-O Mac and here's what we came up with. Tonight, right here in Jersey, in front of some of your beloved Nets, (Cena points out at the Nets players in the front row) we are going to have ourselves a number one contender's match between Joe Corey and Bobby Lashley"!

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

JBL: "That is a world class main event, Michael".

Cena: "And just to make sure no one from ECW tries to get involved..... I will be the guest referee"!

CENA DROPS THE MIC AS "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYS AGAIN.

Cole: "Wow, a bombshell to start off this broadcast"!

JBL: "Joe Corey and Bobby Lashley have been given a huge oppurtunity! Let's see who makes the most of it"!

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, CARNEY IS STANDING WITH MARIA. HE HAS THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

Maria: "Hey Carney, just last week, the wrestling world saw pull one over on Daivari, revealing that you were the Black Tiger and becoming Lightheavyweight champion for a third time"!

Carney: "Well, Maria, thank you, and you're right, I was the Black Tiger. When Daivari said what he said about my little girl, it messed with my head, it made me want to quit the business I have loved for so many years. But I went home, I talked to my wife and we decided together that I should continue to do what I love to do. So since Daivari messed with my head, I decided to mess with his and now, for a third time, I am TWF Lightheavyweight champ".

Maria: "And tonight, you will team once again with Matt and Jeff, the Hardy's! What's that gonna be like"?

Carney: "Well the fans out there that remember the days of Team Xtreme, they know what to expect. For those of you who may not remember, get ready, cause Team Xtreme, if for one night only, is back".

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

SUPER CRAZY IS INSIDE AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING.

Cole: "Team Xtreme is scheduled for a six man tag later tonight and John, now that we've had a week to digest it, what do you think of what Carney did last week"?

JBL: "Well, I hate to say it was brilliant, because Daivari was such a good champion, it was hard to see him lose the title the way he did, but what Carney did was a hell of a move"!

"NO LEAF CLOVER" BY METALLICA HITS AND BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS EDDIE SAINT JAMES MAKES HIS WAY OUT ALONG WITH MONICA.

Cole: "After WrestleMania 8, I think everyone forgot about this man but what a return he and Monica made last month at Payback"!

JBL: "Never has the event known as Payback fit it's name better than when Eddie Saint James returned to smash Johnny Hazard's head in with a shovel! Now, it's Johnny Hazard who you don't see here on PrimeTime"!

Cole: "We have been told that Johnny Hazard is still in a medical facility in Omaha, suffering from lingering effects on a major concussion. We will try to have more on that next week, but tonight, is Eddie Saint James in action and as Monica has been saying, things are supposed to be different this time around, whatever that means".

Eddie Saint James vs. Super Crazy

The Saint walked right up to Super Crazy and slapped him across the face. But Crazy fired back with 3 right hands before whipping him to the ropes for a drop toehold, which he followed with a basement dropkick. Crazy pulled The Saint up but this time, The Saint reversed an irish whip and kicked Crazy right in the gut before sticking him with a big DDT. From there, Saint James got down and smashed Crazy with right forearms from a mounted position before pulling Crazy up and ramming him face first into the top turnbuckle pad. He then shot Crazy to the corner but when The Saint ran in, Crazy kicked him right in the face before dropkicking him over the top rope and to the floor. Crazy then went to the apron and sprung off the ropes, looking for an Asai moonsault. But The Saint moved out of the way and Super Crazy crashed and burned, landing on the floor. Monica then got up on the apron on the far side of the ring, distracting referee Mickey Henson as The Saint grabbed a steel chair and folded it over before slamming it over the head of Crazy. Crazy fell back to the floor and The Saint discarded the chair before sliding back into the ring. Henson turned and began to count Super Crazy out. Crazy didn't even make a move as Henson reached the count of 10.

Match Time: 4:18

JBL: "Well you said it, Michael, maybe this time is gonna be different"!

Cole: "He uses shovels and steel chairs, folks, pay no attention to the name, this guy is no saint, he's dangerous"!

"NO LEAF CLOVER" PLAYED AGAIN AS MONICA RAISED THE ARM OF THE VICTORIOUS SAINT AS THE CROWD SHOWERED HIM WITH BOOS.

JBL: "This is the way he wanted to return, Michael, and as he keeps leaving victim after victim, the line of superstars willing to face him is slowly dwindling"!

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW JORDAN ROCKWELL TALKING TO TWF ROAD AGENT ARN ANDERSON WHEN DUSTIN KASH STEPS INTO THE SHOT AND GETS IN THE FACE OF JORDAN ROCKWELL.

Dustin Kash: "So what is this I hear about you wanting a shot at these tag team titles"?

Jordan Rockwell: "Do you think you heard something wrong? Michaels and I keep hearing about you two being the best team in the TWF, and we think differently".

Dustin Kash: "Well I just wanted to come here and assure you that until you earn your number one contendership, you will not go near these titles! Fact of the matter is, O'Haire and I don't respect you, and we don't like you, and all the achievements in the world that you have to your credit will not make you anywhere near the level of excellence that the Blood Brothers are at"!

Jordan Rockwell: "I'm sorry did I say something? Or uhh, oh I see, is it your time of the month? Whatever the reason, you better watch your mouth kid before you get hurt, don't ever talk to me like that".

Dustin Kash: "What is it, do you think you're better than me? Do you think your better than the Blood Brothers"? Rockwell: "You can ask O'Haire what I'm capable of, after all the times I've kicked his ass, he'd be an expert on the subject. As far as you and he as a team go.......

DUSTIN KASH SLAPS JORDAN ROCKWELL RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE, AND AFTER A BRIEF SECOND, JORDAN ROCKWELL BEGINS CHASING DUSTIN KASH AROUND THE BACKSTAGE AREA, UNTIL HE RUNS AROUND A CORNER WHERE SEAN O'HAIRE IS WAITING WITH HIS FIGHTING STAFF AND CRACKS IT OVER THE SKULL OF JORDAN ROCKWELL, KNOCKING HIM OUT COLD. DUSTIN KASH JOINS IN ON THE BEATING, STOMPING ON HIM REPEATEDLY BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND THE TWO OF THEM THROW ROCKWELL INTO A NEARBY CLOSED DOOR TO A LOCKER ROOM.

Dustin Kash: "What did you really think I was afraid of you? Did you really think we were afraid of you? You name the place and time and we'll be beat your ass in the ring. Let this be a message to you and that boy-toy friend of yours Shawn Michaels as well... if you mess with the Blood Brothers, prepare to bleed"!

6 Man Tag Team Match

The Hardy's and Carney vs. Daivari, Gregory Helms and Bill Cutting

The crowd was thrilled to see Carney and the Hardy's teaming together again, but Daivari, Helms and Cutting were ready to spoil the party. Cutting started things off with Jeff Hardy, and Cutting was able to ground Jeff, taking his aerial abilities out of the equation. Cutting delivered a double underhook into a powerbomb for a 2 count but when he whipped Jeff to the corner, Jeff was out of the way when Cutting came in. Cutting reached up and made the tag to Helms who came in and grabbed the left leg of Jeff. But Jeff stood up and used his right leg for a reverse mule kick before making the tag to his brother, Matt. Matt came in and blocked a right hand from Helms before tagging him with 3 of his own. Matt grabbed Helms for the Side Effect but Helms blocked it and put Matt down with a reverse DDT right onto his knee. Helms then tagged in Daivari, but before leaving the ring, he drilled Matt with the Shining Wizard. Daivari tried to capitalize, covering Matt, but Matt was up at 2. Daivari kept the pressure on and after tossing Matt into the corner, he got up on the middle turnbuckle and really drew the ire of the crowd with a throat slash gesture. He then began raining down right hands, but Matt grabbed the back of his legs and fell backwards for a snake eyes. Matt then rolled to his corner and made the tag to Carney. Daivari got up to see the man who took his Lightheavyweight title, and Carney was all over him. After a running dropkick, Carney pulled Daivari in for the "C-Drive", but Helms and Cutting both came into the ring to break it up. That drew the Hardy's in and after Jeff clotheslined Cutting out of the ring, he and Matt combined for Poetry in Motion on Helms. Meanwhile, Daivari lowblowed Carney behind referee Charles Robinson before pulling him in for a reverse DDT. But Carney spun around and drove Daivari into the corner before making the tag to Jeff. But Carney then delivered the C-Drive and Jeff came off the top rope with the Swanton Bomb to get the 1......2.........3!

Match Time: 6:04

Edge: "Cut the music. Last week, you people witnessed myself and Randy Orton, victorious over the team you just saw, your beloved Hardy's! Now Randy and I decided that if we didn't win, we'd never team up again. So, now that I won that match, it looks like Randy and I can focus on regaining the titles we each lost last month at Payback.... titles we haven't had rematches for.......

JUST THEN, EDGE IS CUT OFF BY "BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE AND BOOS FLY AS RANDY ORTON COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE OF HIS OWN.

Cole: "Well here comes Orton and judging by the look on his face, he's not agreeing with something Edge said".

JBL: "Calm down, Randy, you guys just got on the same page again".

Randy Orton: "Edge..... Edge.... wait a minute man, did I just hear you say that you won that match"?

Edge: "Uh.... yeah, you did".

Orton: "Who got the pin in that match? Do we need the guys out in the truck to bring up the replay? Cause if I remember correctly, it was my RKO that won that match"!

EDGE AND ORTON GET NOSE TO NOSE AND FANS ARE READY FOR A BRAWL WHEN "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE McMAHON STROLLS OUT TO A BIG POP.

Cole: "What now"?!

Shane McMahon: "Ya know, as much as I think everyone would enjoy seeing you two beat the hell out of each other, I would suggest you get it together because tonight.... in that very ring, you will be in tag team action again! Against the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels and the Franchise Jordan Rockwell"!

Cole: "Oh my"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS THEY TAKE IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT. ORTON AND EDGE JUST TURN AND LOOK DOWN AT SHANE.

JBL: "That is a huge announcement, Michael, and if Orton and Edge can get it together, another win for them would be huge because the last we saw Jordan Rockwell, he was laid out by the Blood Brothers"!

CM Punk (laughs): "Ya know, honestly, I don't even know who's in it, but I don't care. It's......

JUST THEN, ARIEL COMES OVER AND GRABS PUNK BY THE ARM. MARIA GIVES HER A FUNNY LOOK AS SHE STARES INTO PUNK's EYES.

Ariel: "That's a nice.... title you have there, Punk".

PUNK SHRUGS ARIEL OFF OF HIM.

Punk: "Sorry Ariel, you're gonna have to take those fangs somewhere else because.....

Ariel: "Save your breath. Next week, when Kevin Thorn becomes the number one contender for your title, it will just be a matter of time before he sinks his fangs into you...... and takes your belt".

ARIEL WALKS AWAY AS PUNK JUST LOOKS AT MARIA WITH A WEIRDED OUT LOOK ON HIS FACE.

BACK IN THE RING, KENNY DOANE's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS SHOWN INSIDE GETTING LOOSE.

Cole: "So it looks like next week we fill find out who will be the next challenger for CM Punk".

"REPEAT OFFENDER" BY TRAPT COMES ON AND GABRIEL CROSS COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.

JBL: "Someone needs to tell Punk to carry around a cross or some garlic"!

Cole: (laughs) "Yeah, might not be a bad idea. Right now, we've got Gabriel Cross ready to take on Kenny Doane in a battle of young up and coming PrimeTime superstars".

Gabriel Cross vs. Kenny Doane

As the match started, Cross offered a handshake and Doane went for it, but pulled his hand away, drawing plenty of boos. But Cross wiped the smile off his face, moving in with a front kick to the gut. After some hard knifedge chops, Cross whipped Doane over his body and tried to cinch in an armbar that would've drawn a sure submission, but Doane rolled through nicely and kicked Cross right in the face. After pulling Cross up, Doane got in some stiff European uppercuts before sending him to the ropes for a very nice dropkick. After showboating a little, Doane went to the top rope and flew off with his big legdrop, but he missed badly when Cross rolled out of the way. Cross got up and locked in a dragon sleeper with a bodyscissor. Doane was in serious trouble, but somehow swung his right leg under the bottom ring rope and referee Chris Kay was forced to make a break. Back on their feet, Doane threw a wild swing but missed everything and Cross kicked him across the kidneys before pulling him back across his knee. Cross pulled him up and whipped him to the corner but when he ran in, Doane got a knee into his midsection before taking him down by both legs. Doane then reached both feet to the middle turnbuckle for additional leverage, something Kay never saw, and he made the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:35

Cole: "C'Mon.... he had his feet on the ropes"!

JBL: "The ref never saw it, Michael"!

CROSS ARGUED WITH KAY OVER THE DECISION WHEN DOANE CAME FROM BEHIND AND SPUN CROSS AROUND. BUT CROSS HIT HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND FOLLOWED BY A SPIN KICK TO THE GUT BEFORE A NICE ROUNDHOUSE TO THE HEAD. AFTER HITTING THE MAT, DOANE ROLLED OUT OF THE RING IN RETREAT.

Cole: "What a shot by Cross"!

JBL: "What's Cross getting the microphone for"?

Gabriel Cross: "Don't worry, Doane, I'll get that one back. But I also wanted to address something else tonight, take a look".

THE PRIMETRON SHOWS A REPLAY FROM THE FEBRUARY 9, 2007 EDITION OF RAMPAGE OF UMAGA's ATTACK ON MMA FIGHTER NICK DIAZ.

JBL: "What does that have to do with anything"?

Cross: "Umaga.... I know you're in the back tonight, so if you would, please come out here".

Cole: "Okay, I have a lot of respect for Gabriel Cross, but I can't imagine where his head is at here".

UMAGA's MUSIC HITS AND THE FANS QUICKLY BOO AS HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH ARMANDO ALEJANDRO ESTRADA.

JBL: "Here they come, Michael! Say your prayers judo boy"!

Cross: "Now I know you're a savage, you're a beast and all that, but I've been meaning to tell you for a long time that what you did to my friend Nick Diaz wasn't cool. He's not a TWF wrestler, so he can't be here to seek revenge, but I am and I can.

THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER

So right here, I am challenging you to a fight, Umaga! One that you'll have to prepare for, and one that you'll have to learn some kind of fighting technique for! Are you up for it?!

UMAGA STEPS FORWARD AND ESTRADA TRIES TO HOLD HIM BACK.

Go ahead, hit me, and you will show the world exactly how weak you are. I'll see you down the road.... be ready".

CROSS DROPS THE MIC AS "REPEAT OFFENDER" HITS AGAIN AND HE LEAVES TO A GOOD CHEER. IN THE RING, UMAGA IS NOT HAPPY AND ESTRADA IS TRYING TO CALM HIM DOWN.

JBL: "Does this kid have a death wish"?

Cole: "Well he's got guts... you gotta give him that! But fans don't go away, because still to come tonight, Bobby Lashley will face Joe Corey to determine a number one contender for the Universal title"!

JBL: "Bobby Lashley and Joe Corey are in their respective dressing rooms getting ready for the chance of a lifetime, Michael, I can't wait"!

Cole: "That match will come your way next but first, it's the man who directly told Ric Flair last week that he will live up to Flair's legacy, and do it in half the time"!

JBL: "And I for one happen to buy into that! At twenty one years old, PJ cash has the physical, and mental ability to be a huge star"!

Cole: "Well if Brian Kendrick could somehow pick up a win, it would have to deal PJ Cash's plan, and his ego, a major blow".

PJ Cash vs. Brian Kendrick

The bell sounded to start the match, and after circling each other, they locked up. Kendrick got in a quick arm drag but Cash got up and pulled him into a headlock, whipping him over his body. Kendrick got in a headscissor to break free and when both men got back to their feet, Kendrick caught Cash with a nice dropkick. He then hit the ropes, but Cash caught him with a very nice powerslam to counter back. After pulling Kendrick up, Cash delivered a very nice vertical suplex, floating into a cover, but Kendrick was up at 2. Cash stayed in control, pushing Kendrick into the corner and driving his shoulder into the abdomen several times. Referee Mike Chioda stepped in to get a break and after having some words with Chioda, Cash ran at Kendrick, but he ran into a foot to the face. After a big enziguri, Kendrick whipped Cash to the ropes and came up with a very nice hurracanrana into a cover, but Cash kicked out at 2. After a standing moonsault, Kendrick pointed to the corner and the fans popped. He went outside the ring and climbed to the top rope, but before he could do anything, Cash got out and pushed his feet out from under him. Kendrick came to rest in a straddled position on the top turnbuckle but Cash pulled him right off into the "Cash Register"! Just like that, he covered Kendrick and hooked the leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:18

JBL: "Look at that, Michael! That's what makes this guy great! He knows several ways to win matches"!

Cole: "A very impressive win for PJ Cash, there's no doubting that".

"DEFY YOU" PLAYED AGAIN AS CASH WALKED UP THE RAMP, EXCHANGING WORDS WITH SOME OF THE FANS.

JBL: "You mark my words, Michael, everything PJ Cash said last week will end up being reality"!

Cole: "Well if you want me to call him the next Ric Flair, I'm just not ready to do that".

JBL: "You wouldn't know the next Ric Flair if he walked up and slapped you in the face"!

Cole: "Let's take you back to last week and show John Cena interrupting ECW's speech".

JBL: "Well let's just hope the champ has integrity! If he has a favorite in this match, he has all the power to help them along"!

"High Octane" Damion West vs. Finlay

Two men who will both partake in next week's fatal four way had a great match here, with High Octane looking to avenge his loss to Finlay at Payback. But Finlay slowed High Octane down with his rugged style, rocking him with several European style uppercuts before picking him up and dropping him throat first over the top ring rope. Finlay put the boots to High Octane before pulling him up, but when he picked him up, High Octane used a sit down jawbreaker to get back into the match. Octane came right at Finlay, firing right hands and knifedge chops before whipping him to the ropes for a flying heel kick. Octane went for the cover, but Finlay was up at 2. Late in the match, Octane shot Finlay to the corner but Finlay kicked him in the head before kneeling down and trying to get his shillelagh. But referee Mike Enos saw this and ripped the weapon away. Finlay then went into a small package but Octane only got a 2 count as Enos was way out of position. Both men got to their feet, but Finlay cocked his right hand back and caught Enos in the eye before kicking West right in the groin! Finlay was then able to get Octane up for the "Celtic Cross" and he put High Octane away.

Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels vs. Edge and Randy Orton

In the main event, two strong tag teams went at it and Edge and Orton were able to pick up where they left off last week, using the momentum of their recent victory over the Hardy's to take the fight to HBK and the Franchise. After all 4 men brawled to start the match, referee Mike Chioda got things settled down and it became a tag team match. For the next 6 minutes, Edge and Orton worked like a well oiled machine to beat the heck out of Shawn Michaels. After a big suplex from Edge, Orton tagged in and came off the top rope with a great crossbody, but Michaels was able to kick out just in time. Orton kicked him twice and pulled him down backwards across his own back before making the tag to Edge again. Edge positioned himself in the corner, waiting for Michaels to get up. When he did, Edge charged him with a spear but Michaels leapfrogged him and fell into his corner, making the tag to Rockwell. Rockwell came in on fire, knocking Edge down repeatedly with right hands and clotheslines. Off an irish whip, Rockwell shot Edge into the air with a backbody drop before catching Orton with the "Extreme Measures" when he tried to sneak in. Suddenly, the Blood Brothers came down to the ring with their fighting staffs. Rockwell pointed this out and Michaels used the ropes to springboard off of for an Asai moonsault onto both of the tag team champs. In the ring, Orton and Edge attacked Rockwell from behind and were mauling him until Michaels came into the ring with one of the Blood Brothers' fighting staffs, smacking both Orton and Edge over the head with it. Chioda called for the bell, disqualifying Michaels and Rockwell, but the crowd still cheered. Edge, Orton and the Blood Brothers went up the ramp, licking their wounds as "Back in Black" by AC/DC hit and the shot faded out.
