July 12, 2008
Oakland was the site of this week's edition of PrimeTime and with the 2008 TWF draft looming, fans and superstars alike knew that this was the last time some of these guys would be seen on PrimeTime. The show started with a huge edition of Uprising, but all the buzz of the evening was on the advertised tag team main event featuring Joe Corey teaming with Edge to take on Chaos Wolf and The Undertaker.
Vladimir Kozlov vs. Eric Perez (invitee) Uprising started with Vladimir Kozlov showcasing his unique abilities once again, and Eric Perez really had no chance. Perez was put down with a belly to belly suplex before Kozlov dropped him with a push kick to the chest. Perez got up and tried to fight back, but Kozlov overcame him and after whipping him to the ropes, he put him down with a punishing headbutt to the chest, driving all the air out of Perez for the pinfall. "High Octane" Damion West vs. Kenny Doane Damion West needed a win in the worst way, and he was able to get one over Doane, who has been on a bit of a losing streak. After avoiding a dropkick off an irish whip, West smoked Doane with his big superkick and rolled him up for the 1........2........3. Harry Smith and Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea vs. The Heart Throbs (invitees) The Heart Throbs, Antonio and Romeo, made a flashy entrance, but they ran into a no nonsense team from the United Nations. Romeo tried to charm the stunning Katie Lea and he ate a nasty forearm to the face from Burchill, who proceeded to stomp and hammer away on him. After a big gutwrench suplex, Burchill made the tag to Smith, who hit the ropes and kicked Romeo right in the face. That led to a delayed vertical suplex before Smith turned and knocked Antonio off the apron with a right hand. Smith went on to deliver the running powerslam to Romeo before tagging in Burchill, who put him away with the Curb Stomp. Katie Lea came in to congratulate her team, raising their arms in victory as the crowd loudly booed. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE WHEN PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, THE ACTION PICKS UP RIGHT AWAY. SHANE McMAHON IS IN THE BACK WITH EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA. Shane McMahon: "Look, I'm giving you this match because you earned it, I could honestly care less about your complaints". Monica: "So Eddie has the match"? Shane: "Yes, Eddie Saint James versus Kevin Thorn for the Intercontinental title...... tonight". THE SAINT GETS A SLY GRIN ON HIS FACE BEFORE HE AND MONICA TURN AND WALK AWAY. JUST THEN, SENIOR REFEREE MIKE CHIODA RUNS UP. Mike Chioda: "Sir, Rockwell and Michaels just went to the ring and called out the U.N.". SUDDENLY, THE SHOT GOES TO THE RING AND THE SCENE IS CHAOTIC. JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SHAWN MICHAELS ARE BRAWLING WITH ALL 4 MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS. SOON, THE NUMBERS GAME CATCHES UP WITH THE TAG TEAM CHAMPS AND THEY BEGIN TO FEEL THE BRUNT OF THE BRAWL. Michael Cole: "Welcome to TWF PrimeTime, fans, and what a hectic start to this broadcast"! Honky Tonk Man: "Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels called out the United Nations just before we went live, and now they're about to pay for it"! PAUL BURCHILL AND HARRY SMITH WERE ABLE TO INCAPACITATE SHAWN MICHAELS BEFORE VLADIMIR KOZLOV PUT ROCKWELL DOWN WITH A SAMBO SUPLEX. WILLIAM REGAL THEN ASKED KOZLOV TO GET ROCKWELL UP AND AS HE HELD HIS ARMS BEHIND HIS BACK, KATIE LEA STEPPED IN AND SLAPPED HIM ACROSS THE FACE. BUT THEN, REGAL PUT ON A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKS AND BLASTED ROCKWELL, KNOCKING HIM COLD! Cole: "Hey! Those were brass knucks! That's enough"! HTM: "Hey, these guys asked for this, Michael"! THE CROWD VERY LOUDLY BOOED AS THE UNITED NATION's MUSIC PLAYED AND THEY LEFT THE RING, VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY HAD DONE. Cole: "The Tag Team champions, Shawn Michaels and Jordan Rockwell, have suffered a serious attack by this new group, the United Nation's who seem to have singled out two of the top superstars in the TWF as they have been the focus of whatever they have their sights set on"! HTM: "Well with the group they have put together, whatever they want, they'll probably get"! A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS DISPLAYED FOR TONIGHT's MAIN EVENT. Cole: "You're definitely gonna want to stick with us tonight because in the main event, WrestleMania opponents Joe Corey and the TWF Universal champion Edge will be tag team partners against the pairing of The Undertaker and the new number one contender..... Chaos Wolf"! THE SHOT FADES OUT TO GO TO BREAK............ COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... A COMMERCIAL FOR COMCAST IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE UPCOMING 2008-09 NFL SEASON. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, SUPER CRAZY IS SHOWN IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING. "VOICES" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS BEFORE SLOWLY SAUNTERING TO THE RING. Cole: "We are back live and here comes Randy Orton, who was unable to win the extreme elimination chamber at Foul Play, but he's still right near the top here on PrimeTime". HTM: "You're damn right he is. No one can believe that Chaos Wolf won that thing, and I know Randy Orton would love a chance to prove how much of a fluke that was"! Cole: "Regardless of any of that, Chaos Wolf is the number one contender for the Universal title and he will compete in tonight's main event". Randy Orton vs. Super Crazy Orton circled the ring as Super Crazy got ready to make a move. The bell sounded and Orton moved in with a quick kick to the gut before popping him with 2 hard forearms to the head. But after reversing an irish whip, Crazy took Orton down with a nice dropkick. Orton got up but Crazy was waiting with 2 quick arm drags before running the ropes. He was able to duck a clothesline before leaping to the ring ropes and going for a reverse crossbody. But Orton countered with a textbook dropkick, even better than the one Super Crazy threw. Orton then pulled Crazy up and grabbed him around the neck, pulling him down across his body for a unique backbreaker. Orton then got on the mat and pounded Crazy with several right hands and even a hammer fist to the face. Crazy got up, trying to shake it all off, but Orton measured him and connected with the "RKO" to get the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 4:50 Cole: "Wow, now that was an impressive win". HTM: "That was the kind of win somebody who should really be the number one contender would get! Randy Orton looks to be in the best shape of his career"! "VOICES" PLAYED AGAIN AND ORTON STARED DOWN AT SUPER CRAZY BEFORE LEAVING TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS. Cole: "Hard to argue that point, but the competition on PrimeTime here is very stiff. Who knows, maybe this is the last time we'll see Orton on PrimeTime"! HTM: "Let's hope not"! BACKSTAGE AREA....... PJ CASH IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN JBL COMES UP. JBL: "PJ, I know you have a big match tonight, so I thought maybe....... PJ Cash: "John, it's cool. I appreciate everything you've done, but I've got it covered". CASH WALKS AWAY, MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF JBL. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND "HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER" PLAYS AND TURRICAN COMES OUT, PERFORMING HIS UNIQUE DANCE ON THE WAY TO THE RING. MANY OF THE FANS MIMIC HIM AS BOTH CARNEY AND GREGORY HELMS ARE SHOWN IN THE RING. TALIA IS SHOWN GIVING TURRICAN A DIRTY LOOK AS HE ENTERS THE RING. Cole: "A fatal four way for the TWF Lightheavyweight title is on the slate next! Come on, partner, get down with Turrican"! COLE BEGINS TO DANCE LIKE TURRICAN. HTM: "You look even more stupid than he does". "OOOH CHAVO" IS HEARD AND CHAVO GUERRERO STEPS OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND A GOOD CHEER WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "The odds are sure stacked against Chavo tonight! He can lose the title without being part of the decision"! HTM: "Then he better make sure he is part of the decision, Michael. All good champions do". Fatal 4 Way/TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match Turrican vs. Carney vs. Gregory Helms w/ Talia vs. (c) Chavo Guerrero The bell sounded and Carney flew at Helms to start the match, catching him with a forearm across the face. Chavo caught Turrican with a kick to the gut before shooting him to the corner and charging in. But Turrican moved out of the and Chavo posted his right shoulder hard. Helms and Carney were exchanging shots when Turrican went to the top rope and came off with a corkscrew attack that took out both men. Turrican began to dance again and the crowd was loving it. He went after Chavo in the corner and tried to jump on him but Chavo was able to catch him and drop him over the top rope with a stun gun. Chavo covered Turrican, but Helms was there to make the save. Carney came from behind and rolled Helms up, but only got a 2 count. Helms got up and threw a clothesline but Carney ducked only to be dropkicked by Turrican. Turrican then ran over and rolled up Helms, going into a bridge for the 1.........2........., but at the last possible second, Chavo came in to break it up. Chavo then picked up Turrican and delivered the "Gory Bomb". But before could make the cover, Carney grabbed him from behind and threw him through the ropes to the floor. Carney then ran the ropes but Talia interjected herself by grabbing his right foot. Carney turned and went to one knee, taking a swipe at the lovely vixen. But out of nowhere, Helms caught him with a shining wizard that knocked Carney out. Helms made the cover, hooking both legs deep to get the 3 count! Talia went and grabbed the belt from the timekeeper before bringing it in and handing it to her man as his brand new theme song, "It's Time" hit. Match Time: 4:44 HTM: "New champion! What a win for Gregory Helms"! Cole: "Yeah, and give an assist to his little girlfriend! Talia played a big part in him winning that"! HTM: "Behind every great man is a great woman, Michael, and we all know you can't relate to that"! "IT's TIME" CONTINUED TO PLAY AS HELMS LEFT WITH THE TITLE RAISED IN BOTH HANDS WHILE A VERY HAPPY TALIA FOLLOWED. THE CROWD DIDN'T FEEL THE SAME WAY, BOOING HASTILY AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "PINEAPPLE EXPRESS" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR UFC 87: SEEK AND DESTROY FEATURING BROCK LESNAR VS. HEATH HERRING. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, IT PICKS UP IN THE RING WITH TAG TEAM ACTION. Deuce N' Domino w/ Cherry vs. The Highlanders Two teams looking to position themselves for a future tag team title shot went at it here and it was a hard hitting affair. Deuce and Domino got out of the gate first, able to get Robbie McCallister into their corner and use great double team tactics and frequent tags to overwhelm him. After a double suplex on Robbie, Domino made the cover, but could only get a 2 count. Deuce tagged in and he measured Robbie for the "Crack in the Mouth", but when he hit the ropes, Rory McCallister caught him with a knee to the back. Deuce turned and caught Rory with a right hand but Robbie came from behind and put Deuce down with a backdrop suplex. He finally made the tag to Rory who came in hitting everything that moved, including taking Domino off the apron with a right hand. Robbie then came back into the ring and he and Rory took Deuce down with a battering ram. Rory made the cover, but just in time, Domino came in to make the save. All 4 men began to battle it out as Cherry looked on in angst from the outside. Domino was able to get a thumb into Robbie's eyes before clotheslining him out of the ring. Rory was trading right hands with Deuce when Domino came from behind with a shot to the back of the head and Deuce followed up with a flying calf kick right across the face before covering Robbie for the 3 count. Match Time: 5:10 DEUCE N' DOMINO's 1950's TUNE PLAYED AND THE CROWD BOOED, EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T IN FAVOR OF EITHER TEAM, AS THEY WALKED TO THE BACK WITH CHERRY. BACKSTAGE....... KATIE LEA IS SHOWN WALKING IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA BUT WHEN SHE TURNS A CORNER, JORDAN ROCKWELL IS STANDING RIGHT THERE. SHE LOOKS VERY INTIMIDATED. Jordan Rockwell: "Oh don't worry, even though you slapped me earlier, I would never put my hands on a woman. But I would like you to go back and tell all your boys, that Shawn and I want another round with them again......... tonight"! KATIE LEA GIVES ROCKWELL A LONG LOOK BEFORE TURNING AND WALKING AWAY. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE ARABIC TUNE OF DAIVARI's MUSIC IS PLAYING. HE IS IN THE RING, SHOUTING BACK AND FORTH WITH A FEW RINGSIDE FANS. "EX's AND OH's" BY ATREYU HITS AND PJ CASH COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "Back to the action here and...... HTM: "Have Rockwell and Michaels been hit in the head too many times? I mean, didn't they already have their asses handed to them once tonight"? Cole: "Sorry fans, before I was interrupted there, I was trying to introduce this next match between PJ Cash and Daivari which should be a good one, and let's not forget that Cash turned down the help of JBL a few minutes ago". HTM: "Oh don't try to stir the pot, Cole. PJ is just ready to prove he can achieve success without help. I mean, didn't Dylan Jansens try to give him advice at Foul Play? Please....... Cole: "There's much worse people you could take advice from. Like yourself for example". PJ Cash vs. Daivari The bell sounded to start the match and the two men locked up. Cash was surprised when Daivari whipped him to the mat with an armdrag. He got up and ran at him, but Daivari came up with a nice drop toehold before dropping an elbow on the back of his head. Daivari got Cash up and shot him to the corner, but when he flew in with a clothesline, there was nobody home. Cash pulled Daivari to the mat with a neckbreaker before coming off the middle rope with a nice elbow. He then pulled Daivari up and measured him for a clothesline, but he took out referee Mickey Henson when Daivari moved. Daivari then got in a vicious low blow and he had Cash in a prone position as he went to the top rope, looking to put him away. But suddenly, a massive man wearing wrestling tights with a shaved head appeared and shoved Daivari off the turnbuckle. He then came in and crushed him with a clothesline that turned Daivari inside out. The crowd began to boo as Cash got up and put the boots to Daivari, helping the big man wear him down. Cash then ordered the man to "Get him up" and the man picked Daivari up like a rag doll, slapping a dibilitating Full Nelson on him before just tossing him to the mat after the bell sounded seemingly 100 times. Cole: "The referee has disqualified PJ Cash here due to the interference of this man and I gotta say, he looks strikingly familiar"! HTM: "I know exactly who that is! I used to travel up and down the road with this guy! It's The Warlord, one of the most feared men in the history of this business"! CASH LEFT THE RING WITH HIS NEW FOUND MUSCLE AS THE CROWD LARGELY BOOED. Cole: "PJ Cash told JBL he had everything under control and it's easy to see why! Cash has aligned himself with a mountain of a man"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR T-MOBILE WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 2008 FOR PS3 AND XBOX 360. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, LENA YADA IS STANDING IN THE BACK WITH CHAOS WOLF. Lena Yada: "Chaos Wolf, at Foul Play, you not only defeated all the odds, but five other men in an extreme....... Chaos Wolf: "Listen, Lena, when I won the ECW World title, everyone thought it was a fluke. When I lost it at WrestleMania, everyone said I was done. Well now, I'm the number one contender for that belt you have, Edge, and I'm comin' to take it, no matter who, or what, I have to go through". IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, FANS CHEER WHEN THEY SEE JOHN CENA STANDING WITH SHANE McMAHON JUST OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE. John Cena: "I'm tellin' you, what went down at Foul Play was straight up bullsh*t! I want Ortiz and I want him now"! Shane: "Look, John, I know you're frustrated, I get that. But when Tito signed with the TWF, he got a very good deal. His contract is just like one he'd have in the UFC, he has to agree to all his matches, when and where they happen. I can't just put him in a match, at least for now. Plus, this guy is a tough dude". Cena: "You sayin' I'm scared? You think I'm scared"?! Shane: "Calm down". Cena: "Oh I'll calm down, and I'll wait for him to be ready to face me. He wants a fight...... he's got one"! Shane: (As Cena is walking away) "Well go find a monitor somewhere, cause he's in the ring next". JUST THEN, TWF AGENT PAUL ROMA COMES UP. Paul Roma: "Mr. McMahon, she's here". Shane: "Okay, send her to my office". THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE AN UNKNOWN SUPERSTAR IS GETTING LOOSE. JUST THEN, A DISTORTED VOICE BEGINS TO SAY "WHO's IN THE HOUSE" REPEATEDLY AS FLAMES START TO RISE AROUND THE ENTRANCE. THE CROWD GETS LOUDER WHEN THE VOICE SAYS "TITO IS IN THE HOUSE". TITO ORTIZ THEN COMES OUT WITH A SKULL CAP ON AS "BREAK STUFF" BY LIMP BIZKIT STARTS TO PLAY. MOST OF THE CROWD IS ACTUALLY CHEERING. Cole: "Well, ya ready for this"? HTM: "I'm ready.... look at this guy". Cole: "Tito Ortiz and the UFC have parted ways and where did Tito decide to come? The number one wrestling company in the world". HTM: "Well we know he participated at WrestleMania, but what about what he did to John Cena at Foul Play"? Cole: "He is definitely responsible for Cena losing that First Blood match to Money Mike and we saw Cena just tell Shane McMahon he wants to fight Tito now, but I think Shane had some good advice, Cena better prepare himself for this guy. And not to take anything away from Tito's opponent tonight, Rey Bucanero, but he's in a lot of trouble". HTM: "To say the least". Tito Ortiz vs. Rey Bucanero (invitee) The match started with Tito trying to feel out Bucanero, one of Mexico's most exciting luchadors. Finally, Ortiz moved in and locked up with Bucanero, throwing him to the mat with ease before pounding away at the back of his head. He tried to lock in a guillotine choke, but referee Mike Enos made him break it with Bucanero's right leg under the bottom rope. Tito waited for him to get up, and kicked him in the side of the head with his bare foot when he did. Tito then rushed Bucanero, driving him hard into the corner before performing his first wrestling manuever, a release double underhook suplex. Bucanero slowly got up and Tito ran at him with a clothesline. Bucanero alertly ducked and caught him with a jump kick right on the chin. Bucanero then whipped him to the ropes, catching him with a flying back elbow before using the ring ropes for a springboard legdrop. Trying to take advantage of Ortiz's inexperience, Bucanero took to the air, coming off the top rope with a crossbody, but Ortiz was up at the count of 1. Bucanero ran the ropes but Tito dropped him with a kick to the ribs. Bucanero crumpled to the mat and Enos actually asked him if he wanted to continue. But he said he did, and like a shark smelling blood, Ortiz got on him and locked in a triangle armbar and Enos called for the bell after Bucanero's arm dropped just one time, clear he was choked out. Match Time: 6:08 Cole: "Wow, now that was impressive. We might need some medical attention out here for Rey Bucanero". HTM: "He choked him out! This guy is going to be very dangerous"! "BREAK STUFF" PLAYED AGAIN AS ORTIZ LEFT THE RING, NOT EVEN LOOKING BACK OR HAVING HIS ARM RAISED. Cole: "Cena, I hope you're ready, because the Huntington Beach Bad Boy is the real deal"! BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH JOE COREY TELLING KATO, DUSTIN KASH AND JOHN MORRISON WHAT HE WANTS OUT OF THEM TONIGHT WHEN EDGE COMES UP. Edge: "You got a minute"? Joe Corey: "Well I'm a little busy, I can't have these guys fail me tonight". Edge: "We have a match too, ya know"? Corey: "Yeah, I know, and if you're here to ask me if we're gonna be on the same page and all that crap, don't worry about it. Everyone knows how I feel about Chaos Wolf and I've wanted a crack at the deadman for a long time". Edge (seeming a little unsure): "Fine..... I'll see ya out there". 6 Man Tag Team Match ECW: Dustin Kash, John Morrison and Kato w/ Sonny Onoo vs. Matt Hardy, CM Punk and Axl Irvin The fans were very much into this 6 man tag and the participants all knew that with the 2008 TWF draft coming up, this might be their last time to shine on PrimeTime. Referee Marty Elias never really had control of this one as it was a brawl from the start. With all 6 men in the ring, Matt Hardy took John Morrison over the top rope with a clothesline just as CM Punk caught Dustin Kash with the "GTS". He had the 3 count, but Elias was busy with Sonny Onoo, who was up on the apron. Punk went to pull Elias over, and Onoo reached into the pocket of his black leather jacket, pulling out a handful of salt. He tried to throw it at Axl Irvin, but Punk ran over and drilled Onoo with a round kick, knocking him to the floor! Axl then got Kato up and delivered the "Axl Cutter", hooking the leg for the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 6:36 "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY PLAYED AS HARDY, PUNK AND AXL CELEBRATED THE WIN WITH A VERY APPRECIATIVE CROWD BEFORE THE SHOT FADED OUT. COMMERCIALS FOR PURINA DOG CHOW AND RED BULL ARE SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR EVIL INTENTIONS.... ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW. RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE..... PRIMETIME RETURNS TO THE SOUND OF "I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH MONICA. Cole: "Welcome back live to TWF PrimeTime here on Fox, and we are ready for an Intercontinental title match and a huge oppurtunity for this man but ya gotta wonder, partner, does he deserve this title shot? He's really voiced his opinion of late and we've heard reports of threatening emails being sent from Monica to Shane McMahon himself". HTM: "First of all, I'm sure they weren't that threatening". Cole: "Did you read them"? HTM: "Shut up! And don't question whether The Saint deserves this title shot. I can go through the list of opponents he's defeated, if you'd like". THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MI DESTROJERO" COMES ON AND KEVIN THORN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH ARIEL WHO IS DRESSED IN A GREEN AND BLACK CORSET AND KNEE-HIGH BLACK BOOTS. THORN HAS HIS WALKING STICK IN ONE HAND AND THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE IN THE OTHER. Cole: "Uh, that'll be fine, but here comes the champion who has held that title since last September and he's got a counter to Monica in Ariel"! HTM: "These are two of the more complex guys that we have here on PrimeTime, but they are also two of the best. I can't wait for this match"! Cole: "The Saint and Thorn have teamed together in the past, but tonight, they're opponents for the Intercontinental title"! TWF Intercontinental Title Match Challenger: Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel Before the match started, Monica grabbed a microphone and told Kevin Thorn, "We are taking that title so you and your bloodsucking little freak better kiss it goodbye"! The bell then sounded and The Saint was ready for the oppurtunity, knocking Thorn into the corner with some strong right hands and then a big clothesline. But after taking a few steps back, he ran in, and Thorn was waiting with a big kick to the face. Thorn then delivered a clothesline before giving Monica a long, cold stare. Thorn pulled The Saint up by his white hair before going for a suplex, but The Saint blocked it and put Thorn down with a nice rolling neckbreaker. After a big elbow, he went for the cover, but Thorn was up at 2. Saint James then measured Thorn and kicked him in the side of the head when he tried to get up. Saint James was looking good, but when he went for the "Death to Humanity", Thorn escaped his clutches and then delivered a perfect sit-out spinebuster which got him a near fall. He then went to the corner, but Monica was standing in his way, daring him to hit her. Suddenly, Ariel came over and tackled Monica. The two women rolled around on the floor, trying to get some shots in. In the ring, The Saint came from behind with a shot to the back of Thorn's head and as referee Mike Chioda tried to get Ariel and Monica back to their corners, Saint James got hold of Thorn's walking stick. He brought it into the ring and took a swing at Thorn, but he missed everything. Thorn then kicked Saint James low and picked him up for the devastating Crucifix Powerbomb, covering him for the 1........2...........3! Match Time: 4:39 After the match, Ariel was able to get back into the ring to congratulate Thorn, who held the Intercontinental title up in his right hand as Ariel wrapped herself around his waist and hung upside down while his music played. Cole: "A successful title defense for Kevin Thorn and a costly loss for Saint James"! HTM: "I don't know what it's gonna take to get that title off of Thorn..... if The Saint can't do it.... who can"?! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW PJ CASH READY TO LEAVE THE ARENA WHEN LENA YADA RUNS UP. Lena Yada: "PJ..... PJ........ PJ Cash: "Let me guess, you want me to tell the world what this big guy is doing with me... right"? LENA NODS HER HEAD Ya know, it hit me. I have all this money, and there are all these people around me who want to take it or be part of my success. I realized, I don't need a mentor, I don't need advice, I just need someone to protect my assets. That's where The Warlord comes in. Remember him, wrestling fans? He may've been gone for while, but take a look at those arms..... six foot five and three hundred and twenty five pounds. Like I told JBL earlier, things.... things are well under control". PJ CASH TURNS AND WALKS OUT OF THE ARENA AND THE WARLORD FOLLOWS. CAMERAS IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW THE DOOR TO SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE OPEN, AND MELINA STEPS OUT AND WALKS OFF. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "BACK IN BLACK" PLAYS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH SHAWN MICHAELS. BOTH MEN ARE WEARING STREET CLOTHES, AND MICHAELS IS SPORTING AN EVIDENT BLACK EYE FROM THE EARLIER CONFRONTATION WITH THE UNITED NATIONS. Cole: "Here come the tag team champs and apparently, they were serious"! HTM: "How can you talk about that when we just saw Melina come out of Shane McMahon's office"?! Cole: "We did see that, but we have no idea what it's about. Right now, we know what this is about". Shawn Michaels: "Obviously, we didn't come out here to talk. Regal.... bring your boys out here and let's do this one more time"! HTM: "I hope these two are hospitalized! This is just stupid"! THE MUSIC OF THE UNITED NATIONS COMES ON AND WILLIAM REGAL LEADS PAUL BURCHILL, HARRY SMITH AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV TO THE RING. KATIE LEA FOLLOWS. Cole: "Well this is how we started the night, and here we go again"! THE FOUR MEN GET INTO THE RING AND THE FIGHT IS ON. ROCKWELL AND MICHAELS HOLD THEIR OWN FOR A MOMENT, BUT JUST LIKE EARLIER, THE 4 ON 2 ADVANTAGE IS TWO MUCH FOR THEM. THEY BEGIN TO TAKE A POUNDING WHEN SUDDENLY, "MY NAME IS FINLAY... AND I LOVE TO FIGHT" IS HEARD AND FINLAY COMES TO THE RING CARRYING HIS SHILLELAGH. REGAL HAS A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE AS FINLAY GETS INTO THE RING. BUT MUCH TO EVERYONE's SURPRISE, FINLAY SMASHES THE SHILLELAGH OVER THE HEAD OF REGAL BEFORE DOING THE SAME TO HARRY SMITH. HE THEN WHACKS KOZLOV ACROSS THE ABDOMEN WITH IT. BURCHILL STANDS ACROSS THE RING FROM FINLAY, WHO DARES HIM TO CHALLENGE HIM, BUT BURCHILL SLOWLY GETS OUT OF THE RING. FINLAY's MUSIC PLAYS AGAIN AS HE HELPS ROCKWELL AND MICHAELS TO THEIR FEET. HTM: "What the hell is Finlay doing?! He wasn't supposed to attack the U.N."! Cole: "Well he just did! It looks like Ireland has passed on the U.N. and taken the side of the tag team champs"! HTM: "What an idiot"! THE U.N. RETREATS, LICKING THEIR WOUNDS AS THE SHOW GOES TO BREAK. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR FED EX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE "DARK KNIGHT" STARRING CHRISTIAN BALE AND HEATH LEDGER. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA ARE OFF AND ONLY A SPOTLIGHT CAN BE SEEN, FOLLOWING THE ENTRANCE OF JOE COREY WHO IS WITH PAUL HEYMAN. "MISERIA CANTARE" IS LOUDLY PLAYING. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime and it's time for the main event of the evening and what a main event this is gonna be"! HTM: "One of the biggest tag team matches I can ever remember on this program"! THE CROWD CONTINUES TO BOO WHEN "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND EDGE STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST. Cole: "The two men who competed in the main event of this year's WrestleMania are tag team partners and that's just one of the storylines in this one"! HTM: "Both Edge and Corey are professionals, Cole, get off the idea that they aren't gonna be able to co-exist"! "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR COMES ON AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A PRETTY BIG POP. Cole: "And here comes the man who is currently the number one contender for the Universal title! After overcoming five other superstars, Chaos Wolf was able to win the Extreme Elimination chamber match at Foul Play"! HTM: "Let's not forget how that match ended.... with him using a stun gun on The Undertaker"! SUDDENLY, THE LIGHTS IN THE ORACLE ARENA GO OUT AGAIN. Cole: "I'm sure The Undertaker hasn't forgotten". WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, THE UNDERTAKER IS IN THE RING, AND HE STARTS THROWING PUNCHES AT BOTH EDGE AND COREY. Edge and "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Paul Heyman vs. Chaos Wolf and The Undertaker The Undertaker started the match off in physical style, knocking Edge and Corey down repeatedly. He then gave Wolf a cold stare and Wolf went to the corner, as did Edge. In the ring, Corey was being bounced all over by The Undertaker. Following several soup bone right hands, Undertaker slammed into Corey with a running clothesline before lifting him up and dropping him over the top turnbuckle pad for the snake eyes. He then ran the ropes, kicking Corey right in the face with a big boot. He made the cover, but Edge was in to make the save. The Undertaker pulled Corey to his feet and grabbed him around the throat with his right hand, about to deliver the Chokeslam from Hell. But before he could, Corey kicked him in the gut and escaped his clutches before rolling out of the ring. Corey had had enough, leaving with Paul Heyman to some serious boos. Edge couldn't believe it, yelling for Corey to come back. But Edge was yanked into the ring by the deadman who then slapped the hand of Chaos Wolf to bring him into the match. Wolf hit Edge with 3 stiff clotheslines before dropping him with a vicious DDT. After Wolf connected with the "Chaos Driver", Undertaker slapped his shoulder to bring himself back into the match. Undertaker scooped Edge up and delivered the Tombstone, crossing Edge's arms across his chest for the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 4:17 Cole: "This one is emphatically over"! HTM: "Wait a minute, look at this"! JUST AS THE MATCH ENDED, THE UNDERTAKER TURNED AND GRABBED CHAOS WOLF BY THE THROAT, CHOKESLAMMING HIM TO THE MAT. HTM: "Yep.... he remembered"! Cole: "The Undertaker has made a huge impact.... one that no one, especially Chaos Wolf, will soon forget"! OFF AIR..........
