PRIMETIME's MONTAGE VIDEO OPENS THE SHOW ON THE FOX NETWORK WHILE "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. FANS ARE SHOWN CHEERING IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE PETERSEN CENTER AND THE SECOND THE MUSIC STOPS, BOBBY LASHLEY's ENTRANCE THEME HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP WITH PYRO FIRING OFF BEHIND HIM.

Michael Cole: "We are live on Fox! Welcome to TWF PrimeTime and John, we are jumping right into the King of the Ring tournament"!

JBL: "We're in the second round, Michael and what better way to start the show then with Bobby Lashley trying to advance to the next round"!

Cole: "We've said since the inception of the King of the Ring tournament that conditioning and athleticism play a huge part in winning the crown and in my personal opinion, no one can top Lashley in either of those categories"!

BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND KEVIN THORN's MUSIC HITS. HE MAKES HIS WAY OUT WITH ARIEL CARRYING HIS WALKING STICK. THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE IS AROUND HIS WAIST, UNDER HIS LONG COAT.

JBL: "Take a look at these two! I know people like to talk about Money Mike and Stephanie McMahon on Rampage, but Kevin Thorn and Ariel are slowly becoming the power couple of the TWF"!

Cole: "Well let's not forget about Thorn defeating Shawn Michaels in the first round of this tournament, but defeating Lashley might be an even tougher task"!

Non-Title/King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

Bobby Lashley vs. Intercontinental Champ: Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel

Thorn came out much like he did against Shawn Michaels, but his attack didn't work the same way. Lashley maintained a low base and was able to take Thorn to the mat, forcing him to work from several bad positions. The basic wrestling of the powerful Lashley was quickly wearing the Intercontinental champ down, and Lashley got 2 near falls by rolling Thorn onto his shoulders. Thorn was finally able to get free after catching Lashley with a knee to his head and once on his feet, Thorn gave Lashley two kicks to the stomach before shooting him into the corner and following in with a hard back elbow. Thorn then loaded him up for a russian leg sweep, but Lashley elbowed his way out and pulled Thorn right into a clothesline. Thorn got to his feet and Lashley grabbed him, lifting him in the air in a suplex and holding him for a solid 15-20 seconds before dropping him right on his head. Lashley made the cover, but Thorn was up at 2. Lashley pulled Thorn up and threw him to his shoulder, showing his true power. Lashley then delivered the running powerslam with authority and covered him, but he didn't hook a leg and that allowed Ariel to grab the right foot of Thorn and place it on the bottom ring rope, just in time for referee Mike Enos to see it and stop his count. Lashley got up and had some words with Enos before reaching over the top rope and grabbing Ariel by the hair. He started to pull her into the ring but Thorn came from behind with knee to the back. He then pulled Lashley up and spun him around but when he threw a right hand, Lashley blocked it and fired back with a few punches of his own. The only thing Thorn could do to stop it was a thumb to the eye. Enos got in Thorn's face, warning him but as this was going on, Ariel grabbed Thorn's walking stick and jammed it into the temple of Lashley! Lashley tried to get up but he was staggered and Thorn pulled him into a very nasty DDT before rolling him over for the 1......2........3!

Match Time: 9:58

JBL: "He got him! Put Kevin Thorn into the next round....... that was one hell of a win"!

Cole: "Yeah, and all it took besides himself was his weird vampire girlfriend and a shot with a walking stick to the head"!

THORN's MUSIC HIT AND HE GRABBED ARIEL IN THE AISLE, PULLING HER IN CLOSE AND THE TWO GROPED EACH OTHER WHILE LASHLEY SMACKED THE MAT IN ANGER INSIDE THE RING.

JBL: "Can you imagine having a vampire king...... and queen"?!

A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN WITH JOE COREY AND PAUL HEYMAN ON ONE SIDE AND JORDAN ROCKWELL ON THE OTHER.

Cole: "Well the tournament will continue and look at this match.... it doesn't get much bigger than this folks! Still to come tonight, Joe Corey and Jordan Rockwell will battle in a second round King of the Ring tournament match"!

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, FANS IN THE ARENA CHEER AT THE SIGHT OF THE LOVELY MARIA. SHE SOON COMES ACROSS ARIEL.

Ariel: "You again? Don't you have a photoshoot to go do or something"?

Maria: "I have a new challenge for you. You and Thorn give CM Punk another Intercontinental title shot and if Punk loses, you and Thorn can sacrifice me, or whatever the heck you had planned that one time".

ARIEL GETS A BIG GRIN ON HER FACE.

Ariel: "Wow..... now there's something for us in it. I'm surprised, Maria, I didn't think you'd want to risk all those lovely features.

ARIEL BEGINS TO STROKE MARIA's HAIR AND MARIA SEEMS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

I'll accept the challenge".

ARIEL WALKS OFF AND MARIA TAKES A DEEP SWALLOW.

BACK IN THE RING, CHAOS WOLF IS STANDING WITH A MICROPHONE.

Chaos Wolf: "I just want to make it perfectly clear that I haven't forgotten about you, Joe Corey! I will be seeing you and I will be taking that ECW World heavyweight title soon! Right now, my focus is on winning the King of the Ring tournament, which I will do. But you better have eyes in the back of your head.... you better be ready at all times, Corey! That flipping piledriver I caught your good friend Sean O'Haire with.... that was rushed! Imagine what I can do to you if I hit that move full bore! So be careful, Corey, I may take more than just your title"!

HARRY SMITH's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER, SLAPPING HANDS WITH SEVERAL FANS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Cole: "The King of the Ring tournament continues here on PrimeTime as the son of the late British Bulldog makes his way to the ring and John, what does Harry Smith have to do to win this match"?

JBL: "Michael, I know Chaos Wolf as well as anyone, after all, I did allow him to be an associate of mine a couple years ago! The biggest problem with him has always been his temper! If Harry Smith can wrestle a controlled, relaxed match, he can pull this one out"!

Cole: "And although Wolf does say his focus is on this tournament, it's hard to see that after the comments he just made to the ECW champion"!

King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

Chaos Wolf vs. Harry Smith

The bell sounded and Smith came to the center of the ring with his hand extended. But Wolf didn't shake his hand, instead grabbing him in a standing side headlock. He had it wrenched in good but Smith backed him to the ropes and whipped him to the other side. Smith then leapfrogged Wolf and dropped to his back for a monkey flip. But Wolf stopped his momentum and punched Smith right between the eyes. He then picked him up for a very nice sit-down facebuster. Wolf rolled him into a cover, but Smith was up at 2. Wolf pulled Harry Smith to his feet and whipped him to the corner. After a brief pause, he followed in, but Smith stuck his right foot right in his face and exploded out of the corner with a clothesline. After a big elbow drop, Smith pulled Wolf up and got him to his shoulder, possibly for the running powerslam. But Wolf slipped off and pulled him down into a nasty backcracker. Wolf again made the cover, but Smith kicked out at 2 and a half. Wolf then went to the apron and climbed to the top rope. When Smith got to his feet, he flew off but Smith kicked him in the abdomen and pulled him in for his delay vertical suplex. He kept Wolf up for a good 10 seconds before just dumping him. The adrenaline was flowing for the young Smith, who positioned himself in the corner. When Wolf got up, he went for a clothesline but Wolf ducked and grabbed him from behind for a nice reverse DDT. Wolf slowly got to his feet and turned to the entrance to see Paul Heyman walking down to the ring, displaying the ECW World title in both hands. Smith was able to recover while this was going on and he rolled Wolf up from behind for the 1........2..........3!

Match Time: 7:43

Cole: "Harry Smith got him! He's advanced in the tournament"!

JBL: "Yep, Chaos Wolf took his eye off the ball and it cost him"!

Cole: "Oh wait a minute, look at the look in Wolf's eyes"!

REALIZING WHAT JUST HAPPENED, WOLF WAS STEAMING. HEYMAN's EYES LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO POP OUT OF HIS HEAD AS WOLF LEFT THE RING, CHASING HIM UP THE AISLE. AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE, WOLF CAUGHT HEYMAN, AND THE CROWD WAS LOVING IT!

JBL: "Let him go! He's not a damn wrestler"!

JUST THEN, JOE COREY COMES OUT FROM THE BACK AND NAILS WOLF FROM BEHIND. HE THEN GRABS HIS ECW WORLD TITLE BELT AND CRACKS WOLF OVER THE HEAD WITH IT. BOOS FILL THE ARENA AND OFFICIALS COME OUT FROM THE BACK, BUT NOT BEFORE COREY CAN DELIVER THE "SHOWSTOPPER" RIGHT ON THE STAGE!

Cole: "That's enough.... get him outta here"!

JBL: "Oh gimme a break, Michael! Chaos Wolf asked for this by putting his hands on Paul Heyman"!

WITH HIS ECW WORLD TITLE IN HAND, COREY LOOKS DOWN AT WOLF, WHOSE FACE HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN, BEFORE HE AND HEYMAN HEAD TO THE BACK.

Cole: "Not only has Chaos Wolf been eliminated from the tournament, he's gonna need some medical attention".

BACKSTAGE AREA.....

IN THE BACK, BRAND NEW PRIMETIME BACKSTAGE CORRESPONDENT, LENA YADA, IS STANDING BY WITH JOHN CENA. A MIXED REACTION FROM THE CROWD FOLLOWS.

Lena Yada: "John, you said that you wouldn't let the Universal title get too far from your reach and tonight, you have a chance to qualify for the 2008 Royal Rumble".

John Cena: "I sure do, Lena. And everybody knows that the quickest way to get a title shot is to win the Royal Rumble, I know, because I've done it twice. (Cena holds up two fingers) Tonight, I've got the French Phenom, Rene Dupree and Dupree, let me make this crystal clear. I'm gonna be one of the thirty men in the Royal Rumble, so you can bring your french fries, your french dressing, that stupid French Tickler that you do and the entire French Army! It's not gonna be enough"!

BACK AT RINGSIDE, RENE DUPREE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Cole: "Some strong words from John Cena who has won the Royal Rumble match twice, do you think he can back them up, John"?

JBL: "Well I do agree with the fact that the French Army would do Dupree no good because those guys all come equipped with white flags"!

"MY TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA STEPS OUT TO A FAVORABLE RESPONSE. SOME BOOS ARE HEARD, BUT THEY DON'T DETER HIM AS HE HEADS TO THE RING. CENA SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THROWS UP THE DOUBLE HORNS BUT IS QUICKLY ATTACKED BY DUPREE.

Cole: "Oh look out, Rene Dupree from behind"!

JBL: "I like that strategy, now stay on him"!

Royal Rumble Qualification Match

Rene Dupree vs. John Cena

Dupree was all over Cena with right hands and some clubbing shots to the back. But he couldn't keep Cena down for long. Cena blocked a right hand and fired back with a few of his own before running the ropes but Dupree was waiting with a big clothesline. He then pulled Cena up and seemed to be setting him up for a powerbomb but Cena countered with a backbody drop. He then pulled Dupree up and whipped him to the ropes before bouncing off the other side and colliding into him with a flying shoulder tackle. Cena stood up and gazed into the crowd before pulling Dupree into his swinging sideslam. That led to the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, a move the crowd seemed to really hate, but Cena was in a zone. Dupree slowly staggered to his feet and Cena got him up on his shoulders, delivering a powerful "F-U" and hooking the leg for the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 6:26

"MY TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AGAIN AND CENA REACTS TO HIS WIN WITH THE CROWD.

Cole: "Add John Cena's name to the list of Royal Rumble participants and if you ask me, he's gotta be an early favorite"!

JBL: "Like him or not, he's won the match twice, including last year..... John Cena is definitely a favorite"!

Cole: "Still to come, two more matches in the King of the Ring tournament plus..... Randy Orton faces "High Octane" Damion West..... don't go away"!

JOE COREY HAS ARRANGED A MEETING FOR HIS ECW GROUP AND HE STANDS WITH PAUL HEYMAN IN FRONT OF DUSTIN KASH, KATO AND SONNY ONOO.

Joe Corey: "Like I said, the boys over on Rampage are taking care of business, they don't need me to get involved. Kato.... you're in the Rumble and Kash, if you get a chance, you better qualify too. That little punk Chaos Wolf is out of the King of the Ring tournament and if he calls me out one more time, he'll be out of the TWF. By the way, where's O'Haire"?

Dustin Kash: "Uh..... he and I had it out this morning, I meant talk to you about it".

Corey: "Talk to me about what"?

Kash: "He wants out..... he wants out of the group".

Corey: "And the Blood Brothers"?

KASH JUST SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS AND COREY KICKS OVER A CHAIR THAT IS NEXT TO HIM.

Corey: "Fine, whatever, let him go. We don't need him anyway. We need a team, we need to stick together! Are you with me on that"?!

KATO AND ONOO NOD THEIR HEADS YES.

Kash: "Yes, we are".

Corey: "Good".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

#1 Contender Lightheavyweight Open

Jeff Hardy vs. Super Crazy vs. Carney vs. Daivari vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Gregory Helms w/ Talia Madison

Lightheavyweight champion Kenny Doane was at ringside sitting with the commentators for this match. After 5 of the competitors had been introduced, Gregory Helms' music hit and he came out with his gorgeous new valet, who he says is also his "lucky girlfriend", Talia Madison. Talia was smokin' hot and many of the fans couldn't stop gawking at her. The rules of this one were simple, the first man to earn a decision would win the match and become the number one contender to Doane's title. Carney went right after Daivari as the bell sounded and Jeff Hardy tangled with Helms as Chavo and Super Crazy stood idly by. Carney was able to get the best of Daivari but when he went for the "C-Drive", Helms came off the middle turnbuckle with a shining wizard kick to the back of the head. Jeff Hardy ran over and clotheslined Helms over the top rope and to the floor before flying onto him with a suicide plancha. Talia ran over to check on Helms before getting in a cheap shot on Hardy, kicking him in the ribs. In the ring, Super Crazy got up on the top rope for his moonsault but Daivari came from behind and pushed him to the floor. Daivari then turned into a kick to the gut from Chavo before he delivered his brainbuster. Chavo had Daivari beaten but Carney came from behind and pushed him to the ropes, rolling him up. Chavo was able to roll through it though and he had enough leverage to get the 3 count on Carney and win the match.

Match Time: 4:05

As Chavo's music played, Kenny Doane rose from his chair with his title in hand, and he and Chavo stared each other down.

Punk: "Thanks, girl, I really.......

JUST THEN, MARIA PULLS HIM IN AND KISSES HIM BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

AXL IRVIN IS SHOWN IN THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE AS "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY PLAYS.

Axl Irvin: "Cut the music! I'm not out here to say something cute, or to get the fans all pumped up! I am out here for one thing! Umaga....... I've been waiting, I've been in the same arena as you several times since you cowardly attacked Traci and now, it's time to find out if you've got any balls under those Samoan fat rolls of yours! So get your ass out here now and let's do this"!

AXL IRVIN SLAMS THE MIC DOWN AND GETS INTO A FIGHTING STANCE.

Cole: "Axl Irvin has seemingly lost it here"!

JBL: "And he better be careful what he wishes for"!

UMAGA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A VERY ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE.

Cole: "Oh boy, we're about to have a war"!

AXL DOESN'T EVEN WAIT FOR HIM TO GET TO THE RING, LEAVING THE RING AND ATTACKING UMAGA IN THE AISLE. THE TWO TRADE SHOTS BACK AND FORTH UNTIL UMAGA GETS IN A SHOT TO THE THROAT. BUT AXL GRABS A SODA FROM ONE OF THE FANS IN THE CROWD AND THROWS IT IN UMAGA's FACE. THE FIGHT CONTINUES AS SEVERAL REFEREE's AND OFFICIALS COME OUT FROM THE BACK. THE TWO MEN CONTINUE TO GO AT IT.

JBL: "Look at this..... they need more help out here"!

FINALLY, MORE REFEREE's AND OFFICIALS JOIN THE FRAY AND THE FIGHT IS BROKEN UP, THOUGH IT TOOK 15 MEN TO DO SO.

Cole: "Axl Irvin has completely lost it.... look at the look in his eyes"!

JBL: "I'm not sure who Axl Irvin thinks he is, but Umaga is one of the toughest men we've ever had in the TWF"!

Cole: "What do you expect him to do?! Umaga attacked Traci Brooks, you saw it! Have you ever seen a more disgusting act on the part of one of our superstars"?!

JBL: "Like I said, be careful what you wish for, Axl".

Randy Orton: "Edge, you can try to get under my skin all you want, but fact is, we're both so much alike that it's scary. I'll always know what to expect".

Edge: "Good, because tonight, when you face High Octane, I'll be out at ringside. I might even bring some popcorn with me".

Orton: "You do that, and bring a pen and some paper, so you can get some good notes".

THE TWO MEN WALK OFF IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

"NO LEAF CLOVER" BY METALLICA HITS AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES COMES OUT WITH MONICA, WHO IS DRESSED IN ALL BLACK.

Cole: "That match between High Octane and Randy Orton will come up after this one and what a tournament match this is gonna be"!

JBL: "Everyone remembers the run that Eddie Saint James made a year ago, he was one match away from becoming king! Can you imagine he and Monica being referred to as royalty"?

Cole: "I think that would be disturbing to say the least".

"THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK IS WELCOMED WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHEERS OF THE NIGHT.

JBL: "Disturbing?! No, your hairdo, that's disturbing"!

Cole: "Well we know that CM Punk has a future Intercontinental title match coming against Kevin Thorn, who has already advanced in this tournament".

JBL: "Well I hope Punk is proud of himself. Can you imagine what Thorn and Ariel are gonna do to Maria if he loses"?!

Cole: "Well let's just hope that doesn't happen".

King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. CM Punk

The bell sounded and each time The Saint got close to Punk, Punk knocked him back with a kick to the legs or body. Finally, Saint James caught his foot but Punk answered with enziguri. He then lined him up for a shining wizard, but The Saint ducked and got up, smashing Punk with a clothesline. The Saint then mounted him and pounded him wildly with right hands until referee Mickey Henson pulled him off. The Saint pulled Punk to his feet and tried to whip him to the corner but Punk reversed it and followed in with a huge knee to the jaw. Punk then grabbed The Saint around the head and neck and hit a big jumping bulldog. Punk was on a tear, but he saw Monica up on the apron, distracting Henson. Ariel suddenly made her way down to the ring and started to come in but Punk ran over to prevent that. Punk then pointed at Ariel, warning her not to get involved but he turned right into a running kick to the face from Saint James. The kick knocked Punk for a loop and it led to the "Death to Humanity" and The Saint made the cover for the victory.

Cole: "Oh come on! What the hell is Ariel doing out here"?!

JBL: "Did you see that kick?! Eddie Saint James could replace the guy kicking for the Steelers if they saw that one"!

"NO LEAF CLOVER" PLAYED AGAIN AND THE SAINT LEFT WITH MONICA IN ONE ARM AND ARIEL IN THE OTHER. ARIEL THEN BLEW A KISS TO PUNK, WHO WAS STILL SHAKEN IN THE RING.

Cole: "This was a damn set up! Another orchestrated plan by this dark alliance"!

Matt Hardy: "Hey, what's up man? Good job out there tonight, I thought you had it".

Jeff Hardy: "Forget about that, man. Have you heard these rumors about a trade"?

Matt Hardy: "A trade? No, what about it"?

Jeff Hardy: "Yeah, a lot of the guys are saying that they heard one of us is gonna be traded to Rampage".

Matt Hardy: "Hmmm...... well I know there's nothing we can do if it's true and if it is, I wish you luck, bro, wherever we end up".

MATT AND JEFF SHAKE HANDS AND PULL EACH OTHER IN FOR A HUG AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

"METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS AND BOOS IMMEDIATELY FLOOD THE ARENA AS EDGE COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES AND RAISES HIS UNIVERSAL TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

JBL: "Here comes the champion, Michael, be ready to be in the presence of greatness"!

Cole: "We're about to be joined by Edge for guest commentary and Edge is getting the response he's gotta be getting used to by this point".

JBL: "These people clearly can't stand greatness! Someone is successful, you've gotta hate them, that's the perception of the general public, Michael! These people don't even know why they're booing! Probably because the guy or the fat heffer sitting next to them is"!

Cole: "Maybe they're booing because Edge is an arrogant, pompous......

Edge: "Go ahead, Michael, keep going, I'm having fun listening"!

Cole: "We are now joined by our Universal champion, Edge".

JBL: "Yeah, you better shut your mouth, Cole"!

AN ENGINE REVS UP AND "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" COMES ON AND HIGH OCTANE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Cole: "Well, Edge, it is now confirmed that you will defend the Universal title against Randy Orton at the Royal Rumble, so what exactly are you looking at tonight"?

Edge: "Randy Orton and I have battled over the Universal title for what now, two years or so? I am ready to prove to the world that I am superior to Randy Orton and I am out here tonight simply because I am the champion and I can do whatever I want"!

"BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE HITS AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS AS PYRO FLOWS DOWN FROM ABOVE THE PRIMETIME SET.

JBL: "Is that a good enough explanation for you, Michael"?

Cole: "Okay, well Randy Orton's opponent tonight is former three time TWF World champion High Octane. What kind of measuring stick will this be for Randy Orton tonight"?

Edge: "Are you suggesting that Damion West is anywhere near my level? Are you saying that if Orton can beat him, he can beat me"?!

Cole: "Can you just answer the question"?

JBL: "Maybe you should just keep quiet, Michael or I'll be calling the rest of this show alone".

"High Octane" Damion West vs. Randy Orton

Looking to spring the upset, High Octane came out on fire. Orton seemed rattled the whole match and Octane kept the pressure on with big move after big move. After a big flying back elbow off an irish whip, Octane went to the top rope and came off with a missile dropkick that was right on the mark. West made it over and topped Orton for the 1...........2........, but Orton got his left shoulder off the mat. Octane pulled him up and kicked him in the midsection but Orton was able to reverse a whip to the ropes before nearly taking his head off with a dropkick. Orton aggressively pulled West to his feet and pulled him down across his own back awkwardly. Orton said to Edge "Watch this" before pulling Octane up and going for the "RKO". But Octane pushed him off and went for the "Head on Collision". Orton ducked and smashed him with a european uppercut before shooting West to the ropes. West ducked a clothesline and kicked Orton in the gut before going for a leg-o-matic but Orton flipped West over his head. West landed on his feet but Orton was waiting with the "RKO" and he hooked the leg to get the win.

Match Time: 6:38

Edge: "That was impressive, I have to give that to him".

JBL: "Yeah, but we know you could've done that too".

"BURN IN MY LIGHT" PLAYED AGAIN AS ORTON LOOKED DOWN AT EDGE AND MOTIONED AROUND HIS WAIST THAT THE TITLE WILL BE HIS.

Cole: "Randy Orton is on a collision course with Edge that will culminate at the Royal Rumble".

Edge: "You people mark my words, as impressive as that was, Orton will have to be three times better to beat me and it's just not..... I repeat, it is not going to happen"!

Jordan Rockwell: "Actually, it's the 2004 King of the Ring winner. Who did I beat in the finals that year? Oh that's right, it was you..... Show".

Corey: "Just don't forget, Rockwell, if anyone knows how to beat you..... it's me. Let him through".

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT AND A RED FLASH STREAKS ACROSS. "MISERIA CANTARE" SLOWLY STARTS UP AND THE SPOTLIGHTS SHINES ON THE ECW ENTRANCE INSIDE THE CROWD. MOMENTS LATER, JOE COREY EMERGES THROUGH THE ENTRANCE WITH THE ECW WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. HIS AGENT, PAUL HEYMAN FOLLOWS CLOSELY.

Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime and folks, it is time for our main event. It is time for the final spot in the PrimeTime semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament to be decided and here comes the reigning ECW World champion, the 2007 wrestler of the year, Joe Corey"!

JBL: "Finally, you give someone a proper introduction, Michael. A lot of talk has been made about this being a rematch of the 2004 King of the Ring finals but let's be honest, these two men are in much different places now then they were in 2004! You've got Joe Corey, possibly the most dominant superstar in the TWF and you've got Jordan Rockwell, a distant star ready to fade out"!

THE FANS GO WILD AS "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A MAJOR RESPONSE. HE HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "Sorry, partner, but as usual, I'm gonna have to disagree. Jordan Rockwell is easily one of the biggest superstars the TWF has ever seen! He's one half of the TWF Tag Team champions"!

JBL: "Yes he is, but we all know that Shawn Michaels carries that team! Jordan Rockwell is fading into oblivion! His best days are clearly behind him and to be extremely honest, I am sick to death of Jordan Rockwell"!

Cole: "We all know the history between these two men and if that's not enough, a spot in the next round of the King of the Ring tournament is on the line"!

Non-Title/King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

ECW World Champion: "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Paul Heyman vs. Jordan Rockwell

The bell sounded and the two men met in the center of the ring, trading shots. Back and forth they went, but Rockwell got the best of it, knocking Corey into the corner. After a kick to the abdomen, he got up to the middle turnbuckle and began to reign down punches on Corey. He then got down and pulled Corey right into a vicious clothesline. Rockwell pulled him up, but Corey grabbed a hold of Rockwell's right leg and then swept it out before dropping an elbow on the left thigh and pulling the left knee awkwardly. Corey seemed to be attempting to remove Rockwell's knee brace, but Rockwell kicked him in the back of the head and got to his feet. Rockwell then ran the ropes and nailed Corey with a right hand, but Corey came back with a kick to the knee before knocking him down with a flying Harley Race knee to the head. From there, the leg and knee of Rockwell became a huge target for Corey. Corey worked on and overextended that leg of Rockwell, and The Franchise was in an intense amount of pain. Finally, the ECW World champion locked in a figure four. Rockwell did his best to fight it off, but he was nearly pinned twice. Finally, Rockwell was able to turn the figure four into a version of the Sharpshooter. Corey quickly got free and both men got to their feet. Rockwell was essentially a one legged man, but he didn't back down an inch, rocking Corey with right hands. He then pulled him into position for the Rock Smasher, but Corey elbowed his way out and threw Rockwell over the top rope and to the floor. Heyman made his way over and kicked Rockwell in the ribs behind referee Mike Chioda's back. Corey then went outside the ring and pulled Rockwell up, sending him hard into the steel ring steps. He then went inside and tried to put on The Cage. Corey knew this would spell victory, but Rockwell intelligently located the closest ring rope and got to it. Corey pulled him up but from his knees, Rockwell punched him in the midsection before catching him with a sharp STO takedown. The fans slowly began to get back into the match as Rockwell began to take it to the ECW champ. But after reversing an irish whip, Corey caught Rockwell with a huge spinebuster. But suddenly, cheers rang through the Petersen Center as Chaos Wolf made his way to the ring with a bandage on his forehead. Wolf grabbed Heyman from behind and threw him into the barricade. Suddenly, JBL took off his headset and went after Wolf, smashing him with a clothesline. Rockwell saw this and seemed to be going to Wolf's aid, but Corey came from behind with a low blow that Chioda never saw. Corey then pulled Rockwell around and delivered the "Showstopper" to get the 1.......2.........3!

Match Time: 7:36

Cole: "What the hell just happened?! Joe Corey has advanced in the King of the Ring tournament..... but what the hell is going on"?!

"MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AS COREY AND HEYMAN WALKED UP THE RAMP, BEING BOOED AT WILL. JBL STOOD OUTSIDE THE RING, SURVEYING THE DAMAGE AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.
