PrimeTime hit the historic Joe Louis Arena for it's first show after MeltDown. Fans in the area came out in mass to see all the superstars as they were all scheduled to be on hand. The Requiem: Gangrel and Drusus vs. Lenny Lane and Lodi (invitees) Gangrel and Drusus teamed up officially for the first time against two men who are very familiar with each other and have wrestled all over the United States together, Lenny Lane and Lodi. Gangrel and Drusus formed a terrific pair, complementing each other nicely. Gangrel was able to rough up both men with a brawling style and he put Lodi down with a nice swinging neckbreaker followed by a sweeping elbow drop. Drusus tagged in and went to the top rope, flying off with a clothesline before getting up and knocking Lane to the floor with a right hand. After beating on Lodi some more, Drusus tagged in Gangrel who loaded Lodi up for a piledriver but Drusus again came off the top rope to make it a spike piledriver which sealed the win. Tatanka vs. Rene Dupree Tatanka has been out of action ever since being traded to PrimeTime, but he made his return to action a success over the French Phenom. Dupree gave the Native American a tough fight, but Tatanka came off the top rope with a flying tomahawk which was the beginning of the end. After a deathdrop style DDT, Tatanka delivered the "Wykea" for the pinfall win. TATANKA, STILL WEARING THE BLACK AND WHITE FACEPAINT WE LAST SAW HIM WITH, WALKED UP THE RAMP AFTER THE WIN, NOT REACTING TO THE CROWD AT ALL. THE STAGE CREW THEN RAN OUT TO QUICKLY SWITCH THE RING APRON AND GET THE SET READY FOR PRIMETIME TO GO LIVE ON FOX. MEANWHILE, A CREW MEMBER GOT INTO THE RING WITH A T-SHIRT LAUNCHER AND BEGAN GIVING SOME LUCKY FANS THE BRAND NEW NAILS "HARDCORE OR NOTHING" T-SHIRTS! PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
"RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS AS THE USUAL BLACK AND WHITE VIDEO MONTAGE OF PRIMETIME ROLLS. THE JOE LOUIS ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AND OVER 12,000 FANS ARE WILDLY CHEERING AND PROUDLY HOLDING UP THEIR SIGNS. Michael Cole: "Thank you for joining us here on the Fox network as we are live in Detroit..... the famed Joe Louis arena for TWF PrimeTime"! Honky Tonk Man: "If you were under a rock and you didn't catch MeltDown, what a night of action it was! But the fans here in Detroit are ready for more so it's time to get rockin' and rollin'"! BOOS FILTER IN WHEN THE UNITED NATION's THEME HITS AND KATIE LEA LEADS THE BRAND NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS PAUL BURCHILL AND HARRY SMITH TO THE RING. Cole: "And we're going to jump right into it with the new tag team champions who defeated one of the greatest tag teams ever assembled here in the TWF, partner"! HTM: "To me, the win by these two men was the highlight of MeltDown! I will never forget how that crowd at Wembley stadium reacted to them getting the gold"! THE HIGHLANDERS' MUSIC COMES ON NEXT AND THEY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE RING TO A MIXED REACTION. Cole: "It was certainly a passionate reaction from those fans across the pond but back in the states, they're as hated as ever"! HTM: "Do you think they care? This is the United Nations, Michael..... you're either with them, or against them and personally, I'd rather be with them"! Cole: "And what part of the world would you be representing.... Graceland"? HTM: "Oh that's just so funny..... idiot". Cole: "This will be a non-title match but a win for Rory and Robbie McCallister would certainly lead to a future title shot". Non-Title Match The Highlanders vs. Tag Team Champions: Harry Smith and Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea After surprising the champions by attacking them before the bell, the Highlanders got off to a quick start. They knocked Burchill out of the ring and his sister, Katie Lea, did her best to get him back into it. In the ring, Rory and Robbie pounded away on Harry Smith and after a double backbody drop, they readied themselves for the Battering Ram, a move made famous by the Bushwhackers. They ran over Smith with the move but as they began to celebrate, Burchill came from behind with a clothesline to the back of Robbie's head, knocking him cold. Burchill got back into his corner and waited for Smith to make the tag. When he did, Burchill came in like a madman and was all over Rory. After putting him down with a neckbreaker, Burchill used the curb stomp and Rory was out of it. Smith tagged back into the match however and pulled Rory up before putting him right back down with the Bulldog powerslam. Robbie started to get back up but Smith ran over and put a boot right to his head. Burchill then tagged back into the match and locked a Fujiwara armbar on Robbie and a tap out was almost immediate. Match Time: 6:38 Cole: "Wow, impressive win for the champions, especially when it didn't look like it was going their way, Honky". HTM: "These guys remind me of a great tag team I was in with Greg Valentine years ago.... remember Rhythm and Blues"?! Cole: "Yeah, I remember Valentine dying his hair black and you guys acting like you could sing! It was horrible"! HTM: "We could sing you idiot! Ah, never mind..... just get ready for these two to be champs for a long time to come"! THE UNITED NATIONS THEME HIT AGAIN AS KATIE LEA WALKED AWAY WITH THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS WHILE THE CROWD BOOED. BACKSTAGE..... IN THE BACKSAGE AREA, JORDAN ROCKWELL WAS SHOWN WATCHING THE ACTION ON A MONITOR WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS WALKS IN. Shawn Michaels: "Jordan, we didn't have a rematch.... we gotta forget about these guys..... I'm sor....... Jordan Rockwell: "You're sorry? Shawn, we held those tag team titles longer than any team in TWF history and all you can say is sorry"? Michaels: "Oh.... so this is my fault now"? Rockwell: "Since when did Katie Lea ever matter to you? Your concern for her did cost us the titles! But it doesn't matter.... because from this point forward...... I look out for no one..... but myself"! ROCKWELL WALKS AWAY AND MICHAELS SEEMS VERY SURPRISED BY HIS ATTITUDE. COMMERCIAL BREAK............ RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE...... Super Crazy paces in the backstage area, gripping his hair and mumbling in Spanish.
Lena Yada approaches and looks a little worried at Super Crazy's behavior.
Lena Yada: "Super Crazy? I'm here for the scheduled interview... for your upcoming match? Can I get you to slow down there?"
Super Crazy steps close to Lena and appears to be sweating.
Lena looks puzzled
Suddenly, Lena shrieks. Samaiel sails into the view of the camera and slams into Super Crazy. He viciously punches the back of his head and pushes him to the ground.
Lena: "Stop it! You two save it for the ring! Security!"
Samaiel turns to look at Lena while Super Crazy struggles to stand up.
Samaiel: "I've been watching you, Lena".
Lena looks around nervously. Super Crazy jumps onto Samaiel's back and applies a sleeper hold.
Super Crazy: "Cholo loco!"
Samaiel pulls Super Crazy off by his hair. When Super Crazy goes to stand up, Samaiel stomps on his ankle. Super Crazy screams bloody murder, gripping his foot. He starts cursing in Spanish.
Samaiel: "Listen to me, Lena... And TWF superstars......
Samaiel pulls the microphone from Lena's hands and holds the side of his face.
Samaiel: "Jesus! Scratched the sh*t outta my face! TWF, I've heard you're responses to my recent actions.. Know that my deals with Edge are still pending.. In fact.. I might be looking at becoming a free-agent soon. But Edge's money is still holding me to fulfill certain... promises."
Lena goes to Super Crazy's side and tries to console him.
Samaiel: "A new day dawns in the TWF.. I will (chuckles) step.. on Super Crazy to get closer to all of you. Chaos Wolf is hot to get me in the ring.. I'll probably see him out there tonight. In fact, I'm betting on it. But, he'll get his chance.. I won't back down from a fight. Sure, my time in the ring has been under severe scrutiny, from all of you.. But tonight is just the first.. step."
Medics arrive to help Super Crazy and Lena steps back to let them work.
Samaiel: "So, I'll see you out there if you make it Super Crazy.. Just know that this is my first impression.. I won't appreciate it if you make me look bad."
Samaiel tosses the microphone at Super Crazy, it hits him in his foot, which starts another bout of screaming. NEXT WE SEE TITO ORTIZ ON THE PRIMETRON, VIA SATELLITE. THE CROWD IN THE JOE LOUIS ARENA BOOS AT HIS SITE. Tito Ortiz (shaking his head): "Yeah, go ahead and boo. And while I'm not there tonight, you can bet I'll be back on PrimeTime, kickin' ass and takin' names. For those of you who don't respect me.... for those of you who don't respect the world of MMA...... soon you will..... soon I'll give you no choice. And John Cena.... you got me at MeltDown....... you'll never be able to do that again..... no one will ever be able to do that again"! THE SHOT CUTS OUT WITH ORTIZ BEGINNING TO GET VERY UPSET BUT IN THE RING "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" BY THE WOJAHN BROTHERS IS PLAYING AND SAMAIEL IS IN THE RING, NOT EXPECTING SUPER CRAZY TO COME OUT. Cole: "What is this guy doing out here now?! Hasn't he done enough?! First, he costs Chaos Wolf the Universal title at MeltDown and now, he attacks Super Crazy in the backstage area"! HTM: "Well that match is up and Samaiel just had to come out here and get his hand raised..... Super Crazy will have to forfeit"! JUST THEN, THE CROWD GOES NUTS WHEN SUPER CRAZY COMES OUT, LIMPING TO THE RING. HE HAD A VERY INTENSE LOOK IN HIS EYES AND SAMAIEL LOOKS A LITTLE SURPRISED. Cole: "Wait a minute, here comes Super Crazy! He's not gonna forfeit anything"! HTM: "Wow, he really is crazy.... or really stupid"! Samaiel vs. Super Crazy Super Crazy came into the ring and despite being in a severe amount of pain, he began throwing kicks to the legs and body of Samaiel. After a perfect dropkick, he went to the middle turnbuckle and tried to come off with a reverse round splash but Samaiel got his knees up into his gut. After kicking Super Crazy right in the head, Samaiel picked him up and delivered a nasty brainbuster and Super Crazy was out. But from there, Samaiel got up and mounted Super Crazy, driving a counted 15 right hands into his head at a relentless rate. Nearly disqualifying Samaiel, referee Mickey Henson pulled him off the prone Super Crazy. Moments later, Samaiel got Crazy up and delivered a vicious reverse death valley driver before covering Crazy for the 1.........2.........3. Match Time: 3:57 HTM: "Well that should teach Super Crazy a lesson! Forget about trying to prove you have cajones and sit it out next time"! Cole: "I don't know what to make of this guy, Samaiel, but I think it's very clear he is going to wreak havoc around here for a long time to come"! "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" PLAYED AGAIN AS SAMAIEL WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP WITH A SICK LOOK ON HIS FACE. HTM: "What the hell"?! AS SOON AS SAMAIEL GOT TO THE TOP OF THE RAMP, CHAOS WOLF EMERGED FROM THE BACK AND ATTACKED HIM! THE FIGHT WAS ON AND THE CROWD WAS GOING WILD AS WOLF HIT HIM WITH RIGHT HAND AFTER RIGHT HAND. SAMAIEL BEGAN TO GET IN SOME SHOTS OF HIS OWN BEFORE OFFICIALS POURED OUT FROM THE BACK TO BREAK THE TWO MEN UP AS THE CROWD BOOED. Cole: "Chaos Wolf has come out here with a fury"! HTM: "What the hell is wrong with him"?! Cole: "Oh I don't know, it might have something to do with Samaiel costing him the Universal title at MeltDown! C'Mon.... let 'em go"! FINALLY, THE OFFICIALS PULLED WOLF AWAY AND GOT HIM INTO THE BACK. BACKSTAGE....... THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACK WHERE JBL IS DRESSED AS UNCLE SAM. HE HAS A SLY GRIN ON HIS FACE AND THE CROWD INSIDE LOUDLY BOOS. JBL: "I, John Bradshaw Layfield, just wanted to send a message to the next President of the United States. Now, I've already made my vote, but I just wanted to make sure that whoever it is..... John McCain or Barack Obama, knows how important a person of my stature is to this country..... knows that I....... JUST THEN, RICKY ORTIZ ENTERS THE SHOT WITH A BIG POSTERBOARD THAT HAS THE NAMES OF HIMSELF, McCAIN AND OBAMA, EACH WITH A BOX NEXT TO THEM. A LARGE CHECK MARK HAS BEEN PLACED INSIDE THE BOX NEXT TO THE NAME OF RICKY ORTIZ. Ricky Ortiz: "Ortiz in 2008! Ortiz in 2008"! JBL RIPS THE POSTER AWAY FROM ORTIZ AND IS CLEARLY ANGRY. JBL: "What the hell are you doing"? Ortiz: "Oh, I'm sorry, we're you trying to say something? Let's be honest dude, no one cares what you have to say. I mean, look at the way you're dressed..... it's a....... SUDDENLY, JBL SMASHES ORTIZ WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND THROWING HIM OVER A SET OF TABLES NEARBY THAT IS CARRYING THE CATERING FOR THE NIGHT. JBL: "Don't you ever talk to me like that again you little punk"! JBL WALKS OFF AND ORTIZ IS IN A LOT OF PAIN. Scott Steiner w/ Cherry vs. Chavo Guerrero Before the match got underway, Scott Steiner was yelling at Cherry, even telling her where and how to stand outside the ring. Chavo Guerrero had finally seen enough and he attacked Steiner, kicking the back of both of his legs. Chavo then jumped up on his back, locking in a sleeper. But Steiner was able to flip Chavo over his shoulders, slamming him to the mat before dropping a big elbow across his chest. Steiner then rolled over and began doing push-ups. It was Steiner's power that overwhelmed Chavo for most of this match, but he couldn't put the resilient Guerrero away. Steiner whipped him to the corner and followed in with a clothesline but missed everything and Chavo scored with a jumping enziguri. From there, he took Steiner off his feet with a nice tornado DDT, using the turnbuckle to push off of. Chavo quickly went to the top rope, but a momentary distraction by Cherry allowed Steiner to get up and sweep Chavo's feet out from under him, knocking him to a very prone position in the corner. From there, Steiner shocked those in attendance and watching on tv when he brought Chavo off with the Frankensteiner! Steiner rolled Chavo over and got the 1........2........3. Match Time: 9:28 But after the match, rather than thanking Cherry for basically helping him win the match, Steiner seemed even more upset and beligerent with her as the shot faded out. COMMERCIAL BREAK........ RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE....... Gregory Helms and Daivari w/ Talia vs. Turrican and Carney When PrimeTime returned, we had lightheavyweight action in the ring and the champion, Gregory Helms was in control of Carney, much to the delight of Talia. But after escaping the "Nightmare on Helms Street", Carney caught Helms with a cactus clothesline before reaching up and slapping the hand of Turrican. But Turrican ran right into a kick to the gut from Helms who tagged in Daivari. Daivari caught Turrican with a running kneelift before turning and dropping Carney, whom he is no stranger to, with a right hand. Daivari then pulled Turrican into a suplex but Turrican slipped free and landed behind him, delivering a german suplex but Daivari was up at 2. Carney desperately wanted into the match and he tagged in, going straight to the top rope and coming off with a crossbody to get a near fall but Helms was in to break it up. Turrican tried to come into the ring but referee Charles Robinson stopped him and this allowed Helms and Daivari to double team Carney. Carney was in a lot of trouble and after a big DDT by Daivari, Helms tagged back into the match. After a backdrop suplex, Helms pulled Carney up by the hair and shot him to the ropes but holding the tag rope, Turrican slapped his partner's shoulder to tag himself in. Carney then ducked a clothesline and when Helms turned around, Turrican grabbed his arm and whipped him to the ropes, hitting a hurracanrana as Carney dropkicked Daivari to the floor and Turrican got the 3 count on the Lightheavyweight champion, much to the surprise of Talia. Match Time: 5:02 BACKSTAGE...... CHERRY IS SHOWN TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE AND SCOTT STEINER IS NEARBY, ALMOST EAVESDROPPING ON HER. JUST THEN, CM PUNK COMES UP TO STEINER. CM Punk: "Scott Steiner..... Big Poppa Pump.... the guy who talks about all his freaks. Ya know what man, ever since you showed up here on PrimeTime, you've been rubbing me the wrong way. The way you treat Cherry.... it's not cool man". CHERRY COMES FROM AROUND THE CORNER. Cherry: "All done". STEINER GRABS HER HAND AND LOOKS AT PUNK. Steiner: "You finished"? Punk: "For now". STEINER SCOFFS AT PUNK BEFORE PULLING CHERRY AWAY. BACK AT RINGSIDE, UMAGA's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE's HEADED TOWARDS THE RING. Cole: "Well I gotta say this.... do you know how many people have wanted to say exactly what CM Punk just said to Scott Steiner"?! HTM: "Oh please, Cole, you saw how worried Steiner was about that". Cole: "Well here comes Umaga and I have a feeling that if good ol' J.R. was sitting ringside tonight, he'd say that this one has slobberknocker written all over it"! "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT PLAYS AND NAILS COMES TO THE RING TO A VERY GOOD POP. HTM: "Yeah he probably would, but we'd have to hear about barbeque sauce and Oklahoma football and I..... I'd just rather not"! Cole: "Both of these men were involved in that unique Monster's Ball match at MeltDown that did see a new Intercontinental champion crowned in Mark Henry, but take a look at this.... Nails and Umaga are face to face"! HTM: "The Samoan Bulldozer, peering into the eyes of the hockey masked freak". Nails vs. Umaga As the bell sounded, these two heavy hitters were swinging away, looking to deliver a knockout shot. Umaga landed a big superkick but when he headbutted Nails, he actually seemed to hurt himself. Nails then ran into Umaga with a clothesline before kicking him in the gut. He then hit the ropes but Umaga caught him with an amazing wheel kick. The brawl continued but after sticking Nails in the corner, Umaga slammed into him with an avalanche splash. He then tried to go to the top rope but he slipped on his way up, allowing Nails to get to his feet. Nails then used everything he had in him, picking Umaga up and hitting the "Nail Driver", bringing the crowd to their feet as referee Mike Enos issued the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 6:32 Cole: "Are you kidding me?! Umaga weighs nearly four hundred pounds"! HTM: "I'm as surprised as you are, Michael! I never thought we'd see that"! "LEFT BEHIND" PLAYED AGAIN AS NAILS SLOWLY WALKED AWAY. UMAGA TRIED TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS AND LOOKED LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIT HIM IN THE RING. Cole: "What a huge win for Nails! And still to come tonight, Mark Henry puts the Intercontinental title on the line against the man he took it from in the Monster's Ball match..... Kevin Thorn"! COMMERCIAL BREAK............. RETURN FROM BREAK...... BACKSTAGE...... IN THE BACK, MARK HENRY HAS THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER AND TWO VERY LOVELY, UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN WITH HIM, ONE ON EACH ARM. JUST THEN, JORDAN ROCKWELL TURNS THE CORNER AND BUMPS INTO THEM. Jordan Rockwell: "Sorry, didn't see you guys, I'm just........ Mark Henry: "Nah, that just ain't gonna work. You run into me and my ladies, there's gonna be some problems, got it"? Rockwell: "Oh, I get it, now that you finally have a title, you think anyone cares about you. C'mon ladies, spill the beans.... how much did he pay you guys to be here"? WITH THAT, HENRY SHOVES ROCKWELL, KNOCKING HIM SEVERAL FEET BACK AND HE TRIPS OVER A STACK OF WOODEN CRATES. HENRY LAUGHS AND WALKS AWAY WITH THE GIRLS AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF A VERY ANGRY ROCKWELL. THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" COMES ON. A LOUD STREAM OF BOOS IS HEARD IN UNISON WHEN JOE COREY EMERGES FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE, HEADED TO THE RING. Cole: "Well here's a man I know a lot of people are waiting to hear from after what happened at MeltDown, but don't you think Mark Henry went a little over the line back there"? HTM: "Why? Rockwell is the one who opened his mouth with a little smart ass comment"! Cole: "For those of you who did not order MeltDown and you are wondering who prevailed in The Undertaker-Joe Corey match, the answer is no one.... it never happened! Joe Corey took the easy way out once again"! HTM: "Who are you to criticize, Michael Cole?! You're just another person who doesn't understand what ECW is supposed to be about". Joe Corey: "Go ahead.... boo even louder..... remember, I like it! THE BOOS DO GET LOUDER AND THE HECKLING MORE APPARENT. First off, I wanted to make the announcement that I will be appearing on the edition of Rampage to take care of a little business, but as far as The Undertaker goes..... I don't even want to hear it! Ya see, I could care less what you fans want to see or that you think you didn't get your money's worth! I'm the leader of ECW and I did what I felt was right! So Undertaker, you got the win, good for you.... now go away! I have much bigger things to be focused on right now so Edge, you may've gotten me at WrestleMania, but I feel like I am the number one contender for the Universal title now that that piece of trash Chaos Wolf is out of the way and I want my shot"! HTM: "Joe Corey has just thrown his name into the Universal title picture"! Cole: "I don't think Edge is even here tonight". Corey: "So I want you to............ SUDDENLY, "MY TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, BUT MORE CHEERS THAN USUAL. HTM: "What the hell does Cena have to do with this"? John Cena: "Yo, yo, yo, Corey..... that was weak at MeltDown. You threw your boy to the wolves and come out here and don't even give these fine people a good enough reason why and now you..... you should be number one contender? Come on man"! Corey: "Cena, don't come out here and try to butter up these people, they're gonna hate you no matter what"! Cena: "That may be, but I thought I would let you know that I just came from Shane McMahon's office and you'l have a chance to be number one contender on the next PrimeTime...... all you have to do is beat me". CENA DROPS THE MIC AS "MY TIME IS NOW" PLAYS AGAIN. Cole: "Oh wow! a number one contender's match has been made"! HTM: "Why should Cena be in there?! Come on..... that spot belongs to Joe Corey"! Corey: "Damn you, Cena, damn you! If that's what you want....... that's fine with me"! BACKSTAGE...... IN THE BACK, LENA YADA HAS CAUGHT UP WITH CHAOS WOLF. Lena Yada: "Chaos Wolf, earlier tonight, we saw you come out and attack Samaiel after his first match, what.......
Chaos Wolf grabs the mike from Lena before she could finish.
Chaos Wolf: "Edge I find it funny that for all the talk you had about me not being able to beat you unless I had weapons it turned out that you were the one that needed a weapon in order to beat me. Rest assured bitch I’ll get another shot at your title and it might just be sooner rather than later! Samaiel, you cost me my dream and for that you’ll pay and boy trust me it’s gonna be a hell of a price. Now I heard what you said bout the rumor of me wanting you in a Light’s Out match and it was true but I had a change of heart. You see that match was made so that I can punish my opponent and make them suffer for as long as possible before knocking them out. For you boy it is different, for you see Sammy I need to come up with a match where there will be no suffering, no anguish, and no punishment! For you just total annihilation for I will cripple you and end your career. Edge, Samaiel, rest assured that at MeltDown you let loose something that Chris Tirpak has tried to keep muzzled, if you will, the true nature that is Chaos Wolf! For now that muzzle has been removed and I will unleash hell upon the two of you"!
Shane McMahon walks up.
Shane McMahon: "Listen, Wolf, I know that you’re upset but I can’t let you endanger the careers of other superstars".
Wolf: "Well, ‘boss’, the only thing that’s going to happen is if they take out a restraining order on me but even then that won’t stop me from tearing them limb from limb".
Wolf walks off leaving a concerned McMahon.
BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE ENTRANCE THEME OF FINLAY HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. HE IS CARRYING HIS SHILLELAGH, AS USUAL. Cole: "Chaos Wolf is hot on the trail of this newcomer Samaiel and the way Wolf makes it sound, Samaiel's stint in the TWF could be very short lived"! HTM: "Ask Super Crazy about Samaiel.... I think he'd beg to differ". Cole: "Finlay is on his way out here and partner, he has kind of interjected himself into this whole battle against the United Nations and a battle he will have tonight". THE UNITED NATION's THEME COMES ON AGAIN AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK, HEADED TO THE RING. HTM: "Take a look at this guy Kozlov.... imagine being in the ring with this guy". Cole: "Vladimir Kozlov has been close to untouchable since coming to the TWF but he has yet to really be tested..... that will change tonight against the fighting Irishman". HTM: "Well if ya ask me, I'd say Finlay is going to need more than his shillelagh to take out Kozlov..... maybe a nuclear bomb or something". Finlay vs. Vladimir Kozlov The bell sounded to start the match and both men circled one another, looking for a spot to attack. Showing no fear, Finlay moved right in on the big Russian, trying to get a single leg. Kozlov fought him off with an elbow to the back of the head before smashing Finlay with a clothesline. Down on the mat, Kozlov began to impose his will, showing his tremendous mat wrestling background. Finlay was able to fight his way to a standing base, driving multiple elbows into the gut of Kozlov. He then ran the ropes but Kozlov got a big knee up before dropping a knee right across the throat of Finlay. He then pulled him up and threw him across the ring with a big gutwrench suplex and Finlay was in a lot of trouble. Kozlov then picked him up and tried to get him to his shoulders, but Finlay escaped and hit Kozlov with two forearms to the back of the head. After getting the big man up for a backdrop suplex, the crowd was back into it big time. Finlay ran the ropes and jumped right onto Kozlov with a seated senton before yeling "Come on" to get the crowd even more fired up. But after driving Kozlov into the canvas with a fireman's carry slam, Finlay saw William Regal down at ringside. Finlay went right outside the ring and attacked the leader of the U.N., throwing right hands. Regal tried to fight back, knocking Finlay into the ring post with a big left hook. He then ran in at him but Finlay moved and Regal hit the steel post hard. From there, Finlay grabbed his shillelagh and hit Regal right in the head with it! He got back in the ring and ran at Kozlov, but the big Russian was waiting on him, driving a massive headbutt into his chest before covering him for the 1.........2........3. Match Time: 6:02 HTM: "He got him! Another win for the U.N."! Cole: "Yeah, and a huge assist to William Regal"! THE UNITED NATION's THEME PLAYED AND KOZLOV HELPED REGAL TO HIS FEET AS HE LEFT THE RING AND THE TWO WALKED UP THE RAMP TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT. HTM: "Why do you have to be so cynical?! If Finlay would've won this match with the help of someone like Shawn Michaels, you'd love it"! Cole: "It's a huge win for the Moscow Mauler..... no doubt..... but it did take a little assistance to get it"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR THE BRAND NEW SMACKDOWN VS. RAW 2009 FOR PS3, XBOX AND NINTENDO WII IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.......... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST COMES ON AND DAMION WEST POPS OUT TO A HUGE CHEER FROM THE CROWD. HE IS WEARING A PLAN WHITE T-SHIRT AND BLUE JEANS AND IS HEADED TO THE RING. Cole: "It was at MeltDown where we saw the huge return of Damion West! He came with a new look and he's ready for a clean slate"! HTM: "He came back looking for some kind of rock star reception, let's just be honest. The fact is, the man wasn't out of action because he was injured, or because he was having family problems..... he was gone because he was hooked on drugs"! Cole: "And he was a man about it and admitted that to all of our fans"! HTM: "Well you ask Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin or someone like River Phoenix what drugs can do! That's all I've got to say..... I'm not willing to welcome him back with open arms"! Damion West: "What's up, Detroit! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS Ya know, I am so happy to be back here in the TWF..... on PrimeTime, I can't even describe it. I just came out here to thank all of you fans around the world for not giving up on me...... for allowing me to make a mistake and be ready to give me a second chance. I mean, I couldn't.......... "EX's AND OH's" BY ATREYU COMES ON AND PJ CASH COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS WITH A MICROPHONE IN HAND. HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING AND GETS IN. Cole: "Of course, there has to be someone ready to reign on the parade". HTM: "Like you have all night"! PJ Cash: "Damion, Damion, Damion..... you might be able to fool most of our fans because of their low IQ..... but it won't work with someone like me, someone who can see right through you. You might be back, High Octane, but you've lost the respect of your peers. Drugs, Damion, really? Didn't your parents ever teach you to just say no"? THE FANS CONTINUE TO BOO THROUGHOUT CASH's SPEECH. Cole: "This guy's got a lot of nerve". Cash: "I think the thing that bothers me...... actually disgusts me the most, is the fact that you are a former three time TWF World champion". Damion West: "Are you through, because I've heard about enough. If you are that mad.... if you have that much of a problem with me, why don't you do something about it"? WITH THAT, CASH TAKES HIS MICROPHONE AND STRIKES WEST IN THE FACE. AFTER A KICK TO THE ABDOMEN, CASH HITS THE ROPES BUT WEST CATCHES HIM WITH THE SUPERKICK! HE STANDS OVER CASH, BERATING HIM UNTIL THE WARLORD HITS THE RING AND HITS WEST WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD. Cole: "Oh what a shot by the Warlord! He might've knocked High Octane out with that"! HTM: "Clear the way for this big man.... High Octane is in trouble"! WITH THE WARLORD IN THE RING, CASH GETS UP AND BEGINS PUTTING THE BOOTS TO WEST AS THE FANS POUND THEM WITH BOOS. FROM THERE, THE WARLORD PULLS HIM UP AND SLAPS ON THE FULL NELSON, SWINGING WEST AROUND LIKE A SMALL CHILD BEFORE FINALLY DUMPING HIM. Cole: "That's enough! Get these guys out of the ring"! HTM: "I think this may be worse than an overdose, huh Damion"?! (laughs) Cole: "Well if I know High Octane, he'll be looking for PJ Cash as soon as he possibly can"! A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO POPS UP SHOWING JOE COREY ON ONE SIDE AND JOHN CENA ON THE OTHER. HTM: "Well let's not forget about this huge match". Cole: "That's right, on the next PrimeTime, two of the best are gonna battle for the right to be number one contender for the Universal title"! THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT AND KEVIN THORN's MUSIC COMES ON AS HE AND ARIEL MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE RING. THORN IS CARRYING HIS WALKING STICK AND ARIEL HAS A BLACK HOOD OVER HER HEAD. HTM: "And right now there's gonna be a battle for the Intercontinental title and here comes a very angry former champion"! Cole: "Kevin Thorn lost the Intercontinental title in the first ever Monster's Ball match at MeltDown, but this is his chance to regain the it"! "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA COMES ON AND MARK HENRY COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS AND A VERY BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. HTM: "And here comes the World's strongest man and it's gonna be tough to get the title away from him, Michael". Cole: "Mark Henry has been a TWF superstar for quite some time and as imposing as he's been..... as much success as he's had..... this is the first title he's held"! JUST BEFORE HENRY GOT TO THE RING, JORDAN ROCKWELL JUMPED OUT OF THE CROWD AND ATTACKED HIM! THE CROWD WENT WILD AS THE TWO MEN STRUGGLED, BUT AFTER GETTING A KICK IN ON HENRY's RIGHT KNEE, ROCKWELL KNOCKED HIM STIFF WITH A RIGHT HAND! HENRY FELL BACK AGAINST THE RAMP AND WAS OUT! HTM: "What the hell is Jordan Rockwell doing out here"?! Cole: "I don't know, but we might not even have a match now! Henry is out"! HTM: "Did Rockwell have brass knucks?! What the hell did he hit him with"?! THORN AND ARIEL STOOD IN THE RING LOOKING ON AS ROCKWELL STOOD OVER HENRY, LOOKING DOWN AT HIM WITH A COLD STARE. Cole: "Jordan Rockwell has gotten a receipt for the earlier confrontation with Mark Henry tonight and he's knocked him out cold"! THE SHOT FADES OUT OFF AIR................
