Sommet Center

Nashville, Tennessee

Attendance: 10,289

November 11, 2008

Not only was this night the beginning of PrimeTime's side of the King of the Ring tournament, but fans were also buzzing about the number one contender's match scheduled between Joe Corey and John Cena.

Tag Team Champions: Paul Burchill and Harry Smith w/ Katie Lea vs. Eric Perez and Damian Santiago (invitees)

The titles were not on the line in this one, but Perez and Santiago, invited to showcase their talents in Nashville, we're never a threat to the U.N.. Harry Smith and Santiago went at it after Burchill and Perez had a very physical 2 minutes in the ring. Smith smashed Santiago with a clothesline in the corner before getting him up for the Bulldog Powerslam. Perez came in to break up the 3 count but Smith tagged in Burchill and after they took Perez out of the ring, Burchill used his curb stomp on Santiago. Katie Lea asked her team for some more punishment though and they got Santiago up for a spike piledriver to put the match away.

JBL vs. Ricky Ortiz

After the confrontation these two men had last week, many fans were excited to see it. The fun loving Ortiz didn't back down an inch from JBL, who acted like he was in the ring with a complete nobody. Ortiz baited him in to several moves and he had the hot-headed JBL in a lot of trouble following a tornado DDT. He then walked across the middle ring rope and dropped a huge elbow on JBL to get a 2 count. Ready to deliver one of the biggest upsets in a long time, Ortiz ran the ropes and went for his big splash which he calls the "Big O" but JBL got his knees up. JBL then got to his feet and ran over Ortiz with the "Clothesline from Hell" to win the match.

AFTER THE MATCH, JBL HAD SOME STRONG WORDS FOR ORTIZ AND HE GOT A TON OF HEAT AS HE LEFT THE RING WHILE THE STAGE CREW GOT THINGS SET FOR PRIMETIME TO GO LIVE.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

THE BLACK AND WHITE MONTAGE OF PRIMETIME BEGINS TO ROLL AND "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. THE SOMMET CENTER THEN COMES INTO SHOT BEFORE ERUPTING WITH PYRO. THE CAMERA PANS OVER THE RING WHICH CONTAINS THE 2008 KING OF THE RING LOGO ON THE CENTER OF THE SILVER MAT.

Michael Cole: "We are in music city.... home of the defending Women's national basketball champions but tonight, we start on the road to crown a champion of a different sort..... a path to crown a new king"!

Honky Tonk Man: "We've got the entire first round of the PrimeTime side of the bracket right here tonight, Michael, but that's not all"!

THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON AND BOOS LITTER THE ARENA AS KEVIN THORN MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE, FOLLOWING THE VAMPIRESS ARIEL.

Cole: "The Universal champion Edge will be here to get a first hand look at the number one contender's match between Joe Corey and John Cena.... one of those men will challenge him at the King of the Ring and speaking of that, we're ready for our first match in the tournament and take a look at the grimmace on the face of the former Intercontinental champion"!

HTM: "What do you mean? Kevin Thorn always has that look on his face"!

THE FANS LOUDLY POP WHEN "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND MATT HARDY COMES OUT.

Cole: "Well this should be a very competitive match! Matt Hardy is so close, Honky, so close to taking that next step and if he could win this tournament, he could finally crack that glass ceiling"!

HTM: "All he has to do is get by a bigger, stronger and much meaner opponent".

2008 King of the Ring First Round

Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Matt Hardy

The bell sounded and Kevin Thorn moved right in on Hardy, swinging away. Matt took some shots but fought back like he always does and after blocking a right hand, he kicked Thorn in the abdomen and ran the ropes, delivering a big cactus clothesline. Matt got up and yelled to the crowd who responded in cheers. Hardy stayed on him but after shooting him to the corner, he ran right into a back elbow and Thorn ran through him with a clothesline. After a huge running powerslam, Thorn set Hardy up on the top turnbuckle, looking for the "Dark Kiss" but Matt fought free and yanked Thorn right to the mat. He then came off the top rope with his falling legdrop and covered Thorn for a very near fall. After a kick to the gut, Matt was ready for the "Twist of Fate" but Ariel provided some distraction by getting on the apron. Matt let go of Thorn who then came from behind with a forearm to the back. But after reversing an irish whip right into the Side Effect. Matt went for another cover and got another near fall. Just then, the ring was surrounded by Gangrel and Drusus, the other 2 members of The Requiem. Matt was able to fight off both men when they got on the apron but he turned right into a stiff running kick to the face and Thorn covered him for the 1.......2.......3.

Cole: "Come on! Something needs to be done about that.... it just took four people to defeat Matt Hardy"!

THORN's MUSIC PLAYED AGAIN AND ARIEL CAME INTO THE RING, WRAPPING HER LEGS AROUND HIS WAIST AND HANGING FROM HIM AS GANGREL AND DRUSUS CROWDED AROUND ON THEIR KNEES.

HTM: "I don't know what the complaint is about! Kevin Thorn has created quite a following here and these two guys are obviously very much behind him"!

Cole: "Yeah, you wouldn't understand! You needed a guitar or a manager with a megaphone to win all of your matches..... what was I thinking"?!

A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE PRIMETIME LOGO POPS UP WITH JOE COREY ON ONE SIDE AND JOHN CENA ON THE OTHER.

Don't go away, because still to come, a huge battle to determine a number one contender for the Universal title"!

HTM: "Not to mention, Sylvester Terkay has until tonight to give Corey an answer"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK...........

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, A BLACK MAN WEARING DARK SHADES IS SHOWN. HE BEGINS TO SPEAK IN A BRITISH ACCENT.

Blade: "Let's get straight to the point, I'm better than everyone on PrimeTime, that's not a matter of opinion, that is FACT, there is not a wrestler on the roster that can keep up with me! I used to say Prepare for the future, well; the future is now, and it's not going anywhere for a very long time.

For some reason, I've had to work my way up the TWF ladder, starting in Asylum, where I wrestled in a main-event elimination chamber; sacrificing my body, not for you, not for the TWF, but for me and the gold that should be dangling from my waist. Soon there will be gold, whether it will be Universal title or something else.

I would like to send a message to each and every superstar here on Primetime. I suggest we take each other on; one-on-one, so that someone can, how can I say it?

Put me Over"?

BLADE..... COMING SOON TO PRIMETIME!

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND "HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME" IS FOLLOWED BY A BLARING SIREN WHICH BRINGS OUT SCOTT STEINER TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. HE IS TRAILED BY CHERRY.

Cole: "We are back live and ready for another matchup in the King of the Ring tournament and here comes Big Poppa Pump"!

HTM: "One of my favorites in this tournament, Michael.... who can beat Steiner when he's got it going"?

A NATIVE AMERICAN WARCHANT LEADS INTO THE MUSIC OF TATANKA AND HE COMES OUT, SLOWLY MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING. HE IS ALSO MET WITH BOOS.

Cole: "Tatanka will provide the opposition tonight and ya know, this is really a battle of two generally unhappy guys".

HTM: "What's wrong with Steiner.... he and I get along just fine".

HTM: "Just look at what he's doing to Cherry.... it's pathetic".

HTM: "Well why don't you go tell him that? She's out here to do a job, nothing more".

2008 King of the Ring 1st Round

Scott Steiner w/ Cherry vs. Tatanka

When the bell sounded, Steiner and Tatanka locked up and pushed each other around. Tatanka was able to use a go behind but Steiner found the mark with a back elbow before dropping him with a clothesline. After pulling Tatanka up, he went for his reverse STO but Tatanka blocked it and belted the chest of Big Poppa Pump with 3 hard knifedge chops. He then ran at him in the corner but Steiner kicked him right in the face before putting him on the mat with another clothesline. From there, he dropped a big elbow on Tatanka's chest and went for the cover but Tatanka pushed him off at two. Steiner pulled him up and went for a suplex but Tatanka floated over and took him down with a big backdrop suplex. After slamming Steiner to the mat, Tatanka went outside the ring and went to the top rope, flying off with tomahawk chop but Steiner punched him in the abdomen before he hit the mat. Steiner then looked at Cherry and motioned for her to do something and she got up on the apron. While this happened, Steiner reached into his tights and pulled out some sort of chain or something which he wrapped around his right fist. But before he could use it, Tatanka kicked him in the gut and pushed him towards the ropes, right into Cherry! Cherry took a nasty spill on the floor and Tatanka was able to use a quick small package to pin Steiner!

Match Time: 4:39

Cole: "Oh look at that...... your favorite to win is out, partner"!

HTM: "What is that woman doing?! She was supposed to help him win that match, not cost him"!

TATANKA WALKED UP THE RAMP, ALMOST EMOTIONLESS IN VICTORY AS STEINER CAME OUT, STALKING A FRIGHTENED CHERRY, WHO WAS STILL ON THE FLOOR. STEINER WAS SCREAMING AT HER AND BEGAN TO RAISE HIS HAND WHEN CM PUNK CAME OUT TO A HUGE POP. PUNK STOOD IN FRONT OF CHERRY, SHIELDING HER FROM STEINER. AFTER HAVING A LONG STAREDOWN WITH PUNK, STEINER WALKED AWAY TO SOME MAJOR HEAT.

HTM: "What the hell is Punk doing out here?! This is between Steiner and Cherry"!

Cole: "He's doing the right thing..... are you kidding?! What did Steiner have in mind"?!

BACKSTAGE......

CAMERAS CATCH THE ARRIVAL OF JORDAN ROCKWELL AND HE IS WITH NONE OTHER THAN HIS WIFE, FORMER TWF DIVA, LITA. LENA YADA COMES UP RIGHT AS THEY ENTER THE BUILDING.

Lena Yada: "Jordan, big match tonight with your former partner, Shawn Michaels. And Lita, how are you"?

Lita: "I'm doing great, thanks".

Jordan Rockwell: "Tonight is a very special night for my wife and I...... I just hope Shawn is ready to fight, cause that's what I came to do".

TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match

Challenger: Turrican vs. Gregory Helms w/ Talia

Turrican earned this shot after pinning Helms on the last PrimeTime but he was very preoccupied with the stunningly beautiful Talia. Helms started quick, attacking the base of Turrican and trying to keep him on the mat. After a snap suplex, he dropped a quick leg but a cover only got him a 2 count. Helms shot him to the corner and followed in but Turrican moved out of the way of a flying clothesline and caught Helms with a jumping enziguri. Turrican then went to the top rope and flew off with an incredible corkscrew splash and he had the match won, but somehow Helms kicked out at 2 and three quarters. Turrican pulled him up but Helms countered with a quick sitdown jawbreaker before putting Turrican on the mat with a reverse DDT. He then called for the "Nightmare on Helms Street" but Turrican was able to counter out of it before pasting Helms with a stiff superkick. Seeing that, Talia got on the apron and lured Turrican over. He followed, grabbing the young beauty and putting his arms around her. She actually looked like she was going to let him kiss her, but Turrican realized he'd have to remove his mask. Helms then came from behind with a stiff shot before delivering the Nightmare on Helms Street and that was it.

Match Time: 5:09

HTM: "He got him! Did that idiot really think he was going to get to kiss Talia?! If he would've taken that mask off, people probably would've been running for the exits"!

"IT's TIME" PLAYED AS TALIA AND HELMS CELEBRATED IN THE RING. HELMS HELD THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE UP WITH BOTH HANDS AS TALIA APPLAUDED.

Cole: "Well Talia helped get the job done tonight and Helms is still the champ"!

HTM: "Take some notes, Cherry.... that's how it's done"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK..............

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

2008 King of the Ring 1st Round

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Aldo Corleone

One of the most anticipated matches of the tournament's first round was between the Italian Monster and the Moscow Mauler. Kozlov and Corleone exchanged in a hard hitting brawl that saw both men throw some big bombs. Corleone was actually able to knock Kozlov into the ropes with a right hand before dropping him with the Mafia Kick, the first time we've really seen Kozlov shaken in his TWF career. Corleone tried to pick Kozlov up by the throat but the big Russian was having none of it, blocking it and throwing Corleone across the ring with an amazing belly to belly suplex. After a push kick right to the chest, Kozlov charged Corleone but ran into a stiff clothesline. Corleone then measured him for another Mafia Kick but Kozlov dodged this one before headbutting the chest of Corleone, knocking all the energy out of him. Kozlov then delivered a nasty reverse DDT and covered Corleone, hooking the leg for the 3 count and eliminating a man who did very well for himself in last year's tournament.

Match Time: 9:54

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS WITH EDGE WHO HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. HE IS WEARING A "RATED R SUPERSTAR" T-SHIRT AND A "RATED R SUPERSTAR" SKULL CAP.

Lena Yada: "Edge, later tonight, Joe Corey meets John Cena in a number one contender's match for the Universal title. The winner will face you at King of the Ring..... do you have a preference"?

Edge: "What difference does it make? I've already beaten them both and to do it again will just further my stance that I am the most dominating superstar PrimeTime has to offer. I mean.......

JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA START TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. LENA AND EDGE BOTH LOOK AROUND, WONDERING WHAT IS GOING ON.

What the hell is going on? Guess this is the kind of crap you get here in Music City...... huh"?

EDGE WALKS AWAY AS THE CROWD INSIDE THE ARENA BOOS.

2008 King of the Ring 1st Round

Nails vs. CM Punk

Punk was attacked by Scott Steiner during his entrance before this match even started, but Punk refused to forfeit. He came to the ring, battered and bruised, and the sadistic Nails took advantage. Punk fought him off to the best of his abilities but after kicking him right in the face with a big boot off an irish whip, Nails delivered the "Nail Driver" to bring a quick end to the match.

Match Time: 2:23

Cole: "Not taking anything away from Nails, but give a big assist to Scott Steiner"!

HTM: "Steiner had every right to do that, Michael! Punk stuck his nose in his business, so Big Poppa Pump just returned the favor"!

Cole: "Well I figured you'd see it that way, but there will be a time for Punk and Steiner to solve this in the ring! Meanwhile, Nails has advanced in the tournament"!

"LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT PLAYED AS NAILS STOOD IN THE RING, STARING INTO THE CROWD.

HTM: "Can you imagine King Nails! Oooh, that has a disgusting ring to it"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK...............

RETURN FROM BREAK......

*The Yard Boss and the Dockland Destroyer show up hours early to a TWF press stint and the Yard Boss issues "handling instructions" (a taser) to the TWF officials as they escort the Dockland Destroyer inside*

Yard Boss: "The Asylum is history and although the Dockland Destroyer is "happy" if you will about that, he is more driven than ever and that only makes me even more worried. For years I've been the only one able to restrain him to the point where he focuses his hatred and will to hurt people in the ring and we had a mutual co-existence. Since his short stint in the Asylum he has become increasingly unruly and ever blood thirsty. None of us can understand what will happen next... should anything occur you may have to taze him. If you hesitate you might end up like I did in '96, with two broken ribs and a fractured skull. The drugs I gave him should keep him down for a while but he is a horse".

*The Yard Boss and two TWF officials turn their attention to the Dockland Destroyer who is heavily drugged and shackled and seems incoherent*

Dockland Destroyer: "The Asylum? Why are you bringing that up again? .... I told you once and I'll tell you again ... the Asylum was a puddle caught between two rotting dockboards, a puddle which I have sucked dry of worthiness...

*Dockland Destroyer loses consciousness*

Yard Boss: "Quickly.... this is our best chance to get him inside".

*In mid transport the Dockland Destroyer awakes*

Dockland Destroyer: "Hatred is my will and the TWF is my way! I will avenge the shame brought upon the Docklands, I cannot fail because I am not like you, I am not meek"!

*The convoy enters the Dockland Destroyer's dressing room and the Yard Boss unshackles him*

TWF official #1: "He's so high right now I bet he has no idea what he's saying".

TWF official #2: "Well he certainly doesn't seem so dangerous right now does he"?

*Dockland Destroyer overhears the conversation and grabs official #1 and throws him into a brick wall, official #2 scrambles for the taser as he is also hurled into a wall. The Yard Boss jumps in and manages to shackle the heavily drugged monster*

Yard Boss: "You're almost there, you are that much closer to redeeming our brethren of the docklands. This is but a stepping stone, one of a dwindling number. One day you will have your belt and the travesty and exploitation will be over, we will have something to cling to".

*The Dockland Destroyer seems appeased by the Yard Boss' words and passes out as the Yard Boss breathes a sigh of relief*

DOCKLAND DESTROYER.................

ON HIS WAY TO PRIMETIME!

"REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR COMES ON AND CHAOS WOLF MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A FAVORABLE RESPONSE.

Cole: "Some new superstars are on their way here to PrimeTime".

HTM: "I don't know if we're ready for that one".

RENE DUPREE IS SHOWN IN THE RING, GETTING LOOSE.

Cole: "Well speaking of new superstars, how about this guy Samaiel? He has made Chaos Wolf's life a living hell.... and for what"?!

HTM: "From what I can tell, Samaiel is somewhat of a hitman. Edge was willing to pay for his services and it ended up being money well spent".

Chaos Wolf vs. Rene Dupree

Dupree attacked Wolf from behind the moment the bell rang and he was all over him. After a gutwrench suplex, he put the boots to the chest of Wolf before stomping right on the back of his head. He then pulled him up and whipped him to the corner, moving in with a big clothesline. He then tried to get him up for the "Dupree Bomb" but Wolf got free and threw a clotheslne that missed and Dupree slapped on a cobra clutch. He had Wolf in a lot of trouble but Wolf, in desperation, ran him into the corner to break the hold. Like a man possessed, Wolf then hit Dupree with so many right hands and overhands it was hard to count them all. After pulling Dupree into a vicious brainbuster, Wolf went for the cover and got 1.........2.........., but Dupree was up. Wolf grabbed him and got him up, kicking him in the midsection before running the ropes and looking for a crucifix. But Dupree countered into a Samoan drop. He then went into the obnoxious French Tickler dance before dropping an elbow, covering him and hooking the leg for the 1...........2......., but Wolf was up. Dupree pulled him up and went for an irish whip but Wolf reversed it and went for a hurricanarana but Dupree countered with a powerbomb! Somehow, Wolf was able to lock his legs around the neck of Dupree on the way down and he was pulling at the back of his head. He had the Gogoplata locked on and within seconds, Dupree was out and referee Marty Elias called for the bell!

Match Time: 6:07

Cole: "The French Phenom has been choked out"!

HTM: "That is a lethal hold, Michael.... no escape to that"!

RIGHT AS "REMEMBER THE NAME" STARTED TO PLAY AGAIN, WOLF ASKED FOR AND WAS GIVEN A MICROPHONE.

Chaos Wolf: "Hey Samaiel..... I know you're back there somewhere! I'm expecting it now... why don't you come out here and show all these people just how tough you really are"!

Cole: "Chaos Wolf has called out Samaiel".

HTM: "I don't know if that's such a good idea".

JUST THEN, SAMAIEL's VOICE COMES OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS.

Samaiel: "Oh, Chaos Wolf, you're serious, aren't you? (laughs) What do I have to gain by coming out there tonight? If you haven't spoken with Shane McMahon lately, you and I are scheduled to meet at King of the Ring. There, I will introduce you to my own personal chamber of horrors. Until then, continue to try and show all of your fans what a tough, macho guy you are. I'll see ya at King of the Ring.............

A LONG HECKLING LAUGH IS HEARD AS THE VOICE FADES AWAY. WOLF STANDS IN THE RING, FRUSTRATED.

Cole: "Well there ya have it, Chaos Wolf versus Samaiel at King of the Ring".

HTM: "Well Chaos Wolf will get what he claims he wants that night..... we'll see if he's barking up the wrong tree and I think he is".

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS STANDING WITH MARK HENRY.

Lena Yada: "I am here with the World's Strongest man, Mark Henry and Mark, on the last PrimeTime, we saw you knocked out cold by Jordan Rockwell. Has that ever happened to you"?

Mark Henry: "No, no it hasn't! Jordan Rockwell wants to go around and talk about this new attitude where he only cares about himself.... well that's fine! Tonight, I'm gonna expose the Franchise"!

HENRY WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

WHEN THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST IS PLAYING AND DAMION WEST IS IN THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE. HE IS AGAIN IN STREET CLOTHES.

Damion West: "On the last PrimeTime, I was supposed to be out here, stoked that I'm back where I'm supposed to be which is in this ring, and some snot-nosed punk has to come out here and ruin it. Listen guys, I've made some mistakes, I've owned up to it. The last thing I need is for a little punk like PJ Cash to remind me every day of those mistakes. So PJ, you obviously have a problem with me..... so I'm gonna give you an oppurtunity to come out here tonight and solve it"!

WEST DROPS THE MIC AND GETS IN A FIGHTING STANCE, WAITING FOR CASH's ARRIVAL.

"EX's AND OH's" BY ATREYU PLAYS AND CASH COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS BUT HE's READY TO FIGHT.

Cole: "Here we go"!

CASH GETS IN THE RING AND THROWS A RIGHT HAND BUT WEST BLOCKS IT AND KNOCKS CASH DOWN WITH A RIGHT OF HIS OWN. AFTER WHIPPING HIM TO THE CORNER, WEST GETS CASH UP WITH A BIG BACKBODY DROP BUT THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS WHEN THE WARLORD COMES OUT AND SMASHES WEST IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A CLOTHESLINE. HE THEN PICKS HIM UP IN THE FULL NELSON, SHAKING HIM AROUND BEFORE JUST DUMPING HIM ON THE MAT.

"EX's AND OH's" PLAYS AGAIN AND CASH GETS DOWN, BERATING WEST AS THE WARLORD STANDS OVER HIM AND THE CROWD BOOS.

Cole: "This looks like a replay from the last PrimeTime"!

HTM: "Damion West asked for this by shooting off his big mouth"!

Cole: "No, he asked for PJ Cash to come out here and face him like a man..... he didn't ask for the monster that PJ Cash has fight his battles for him"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.................

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, TITO ORTIZ IS STANDING BY WITH LENA YADA AND A VERY FAMILIAR FACE FROM THE WORLD OF MMA.

Lena Yada: "Tito.... I understand you have an important announcement to make"?

Tito Ortiz: "More like monumental, Lena. Camera guy.... get a good look here. This is Gina Carano, and if you have not heard of her, she is the best female MMA fighter in this country. Everyone wanted to call Tito Ortiz a joke, saying he couldn't hack it in this industry..... well I am one hundred percent responsible for this beautiful young woman being part of the roster and for you fans out there, get ready, because on TWF Main Event... Gina will have her first match".

Lena: "Exciting stuff, anything you want to say Ms. Carano"?

Gina Carano: "Just that I'm happy to be here and I'm ready to get in there and see what the TWF has to offer".

Ortiz: "Come on, let's get out of here before people start hounding us for autographs".

ORTIZ AND CARANO WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE DRESSING ROOM OF JORDAN ROCKWELL. HE AND LITA SEEM TO BE SHARING AN INTIMATE MOMENT WHEN THERE IS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND SHAWN MICHAELS ENTERS.

Shawn Michaels: "Hey guys, sorry to interrupt..... what are you guys celebrating tonight anyway"?

Jordan Rockwell: "Why does it matter? We have a match tonight, shouldn't you be getting ready for that"?

Michaels: "Oh I'll be ready..... I just wanted to see if you're sure having Lita at ringside tonight is a good idea".

Lita: "Shawn, in case you forgot, I was a part of the TWF for years..... I think I can handle it out there".

MICHAELS PUTS HIS HANDS UP.

Michaels: "Okay, fine..... see ya in the ring".

MICHAELS LEAVES THE ROOM BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

"MISERIA CANTARE" HITS AS SOON AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS A SPOTLIGHT FOCUSES ON THE ECW ENTRANCE AND PAUL HEYMAN LEADS JOE COREY TO THE RING, THROUGH THE CROWD.

Cole: "Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels, the former TWF Tag Team champions, will face off later tonight but right now, we are going to find out who will challenge Edge for the Universal title at the King of the Ring"!

HTM: "And if it's this man, we will be treated to a rematch from WrestleMania"!

Cole: "This match came about after this man, Joe Corey, declared himself the number one contender but as we know, John Cena took a little offense to that and....... wait a minute"!

THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND THE UNDERTAKER IS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! THE FANS ARE CHEERING AND COREY LOOKS LIKE HE's SEEN A GHOST. BEFORE COREY CAN REACT AT ALL, UNDERTAKER MOVES IN WITH 3 HARD RIGHT HANDS, KNOCKING HIM INTO THE CORNER. AFTER WHIPPING HIM TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, UNDERTAKER BARRELS INTO HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE BEFORE SLAPPING HIS RIGHT HAND AROUND HIS THROAT AND DELIVERING A HUGE CHOKESLAM.

THE FANS LOVE WHAT THEY SEE AS THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY. BUT JUST THEN, SYLVESTER TERKAY MAKES HIS WAY OUT FROM THE BACK WITH THE ECW WORLD TITLE.

HTM: "And here comes the Manbear"!

TERKAY STEPS INTO THE RING AND STARES DOWN THE UNDERTAKER, WHO HAS EXITED THE RING.

Cole: "Even The Undertaker may not fare well with these two on one odds".

COREY SLOWLY BEGINS TO PULL HIMSELF UP USING THE RING ROPES AND HE LOOKS RELIEVED TO SEE TERKAY IN THE RING. THE FANS LOUDLY BOO AS TERKAY HANDS COREY THE ECW TITLE BELT.

Cole: "No.... no way"!

HTM: "I think Corey just got his answer"!

BUT AS COREY GETS A SMALL GRIN ON HIS FACE, TERKAY DROPS HIM WITH THE HEART PUNCH BEFORE TAKING HIS BELT BACK! HE LOOKS LIKE HE's GOING TO DO MORE DAMAGE WHEN ELIJAH BURKE RUNS OUT, URGING HIM TO STOP.

Cole: "No..... now he got his answer"!

HTM: "What the hell is Sylvester Terkay doing! He just bit the hand that feeds him"!

Cole: "I'll tell ya what he's doing! He's making a stand and personally, I love it"!

TERKAY LEAVES THE RING WITH BURKE WHO CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE's DONE. BUT THE CROWD SEEMS TO RESPOND TO TERKAY's ACTIONS VERY FAVORABLY.

HTM: "Sylvester Terkay was well on his way to becoming one of the biggest stars the TWF has ever seen! I think he just flushed all of that down the toilet right now"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.............

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "SEXY BOY" STARTS UP AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET IN A HUGE CHEER FOR SHAWN MICHAELS.

Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime and it's time for our main event but I gotta tell ya, this crowd is still buzzing over what we just saw out here".

HTM: "I can't tell ya how disappointed I am in Sylvester Terkay...... monumental mistake".

"SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO, JORDAN ROCKWELL's BRAND NEW ENTRANCE THEME, COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT HAND IN HAND WITH LITA AND GETS A VERY GOOD POP.

Cole: "This will be a great match, a battle between former tag team champions who haven't exactly seen eye to eye lately, partner".

HTM: "And it's all due to Jordan Rockwell's new, me-first attitude and how overdue is that"?

Cole: "That's for someone else to debate but one thing I did notice is that he still has the support of basically every single person in attendance tonight".

Shawn Michaels vs. Jordan Rockwell w/ Lita

The bell sounded to start the match and a very competitive match it was. Michaels and Rockwell exchanged in a very good mat war with Rockwell able to get the better of that. With Michaels locked in a standing waistlock, Rockwell picked him up and put him on the mat before going for a quick STF. Michaels was able to roll to his side and kick Rockwell right in the face before getting to his feet and landing a few quick punches before going for an irish whip. Rockwell was able to reverse it and deliver a big spinebuster, covering him for a near fall. Rockwell pulled Michaels up and whipped him to the corner but when he ran in, Michaels kicked him in the face and a flying forearm after running the ropes. After a big scoop slam, Michaels went to the top rope and even with Lita screaming for her husband to move, Michaels landed a big flying elbow. He then got up and began to "warm up the band", setting up for the "Sweet Chin Music". That's when Mark Henry showed up at ringside, getting on the apron. Michaels ran over and caught him with the superkick, knocking him to the floor! Michaels turned and went for the superkick again but Rockwell beat him to the punch, literally, knocking him dead cold with a right hand! Rockwell fell into the cover and got the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:17

"SAVE ME" BEGAN TO PLAY AGAIN BUT IT WAS QUICKLY CUT OFF WHEN HENRY CAME INTO THE RING AND SMASHED ROCKWELL ACROSS THE BACK WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

Cole: "Oh come on..... the match is over"!

BUT THEN, LITA CAME INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON ROCKWELL AND HENRY BLASTED HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE!

HTM: "Oh my gosh".

Cole: "Hey! What the hell is he doing"?!

HENRY THEN PULLED LITA ON TOP OF ROCKWELL AND WENT TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE. THE CROWD WAS BOOING BUT HENRY HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE BEFORE HE JUMPED OFF, SLAMMING INTO THE BODIES OF LITA AND ROCKWELL!

Cole: "I don't believe this! Four hundred pounds just came crashing down on Jordan Rockwell and for God sake..... Lita"!

HTM: "Well I'm willing to bet that Rockwell is gonna care about somebody besides himself in this situation! His wife has been crushed by the World's Strongest Man"!

HENRY LEFT THE RING TO THE WORST HEAT IN QUITE SOME TIME AS ROCKWELL SLOWLY BEGAN TO RECOVER, CHECKING ON LITA AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.

BACKSTAGE...... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE........

JUST BEFORE PRIMETIME GOES OFF THE AIR, EDGE IS TALKING WITH SHANE McMAHON WHEN JOHN CENA COMES IN.

John Cena: "What the hell was that"?

Shane McMahon: "Cena, I was just explaining to Edge what I have decided. At King of the Ring, Joe Corey will now face Sylvester Terkay for the ECW World title".

Cena: "Okay, so I get him (pointing to Edge), right"?

Shane: "Well yeah, but not just you. I have signed a triple threat for the Universal title where Edge will defend against you and...... The Undertaker".
