For the second time in under a year, PrimeTime visited the Garden State with a huge show. Fans were chirping all night before the show, speculating on what Joe Corey might say to the Undertaker and if Shawn Michaels would respond to Jason Oliver. But first, 3 matches highlighted Uprising. Mark Henry vs. Kevin Steen (invitee) Henry kicked off Uprising with a dominating performance against Kevin Steen who was doing his best to make a good impression. After slamming into him with an avalanche in the corner, Henry drove Steen into the mat with the "World's Strongest Slam" for the win. Blade vs. Archadia (invitee) With Mark Henry already victorious, Blade, also in the next round of the number one contender for the Intercontinental title tournament, wanted to show what he could do as well. But Archadia was up to the task, taking the fight right to him. After a barrage of kicks, Archadia delivered a hurracanrana before connecting with a missile dropkick off the top rope. Archadia was able to get a 2 count but after running the ropes, Blade kicked him right in the face. Blade then pounded Archadia, trying to punish him for his efforts. After a nasty neckbreaker drop, Blade was able to put Archadia down with the "Cutter" to thwart his upset bid. Scott Steiner w/ Cherry vs. Chavo Guerrero Chavo knew he'd need to rely on his speed and maybe even a little luck to get by Big Poppa Pump. Cherry played a very distracting role, sticking with her new personality by wearing next to nothing at ringside. Chavo was able to get in some early offense and Steiner looked a little off his game. But after running right into a Steiner Line, it was all downhill from there for Chavo. Steiner went on to deliver an erray of suplexes before slapping on the "Steiner Recliner". Chavo didn't take long to give up and Steiner really looks good heading towards his shot at the WrestleMania Jackpot. AS STEINER's MUSIC PLAYED, THE FANS BOOED AS HE AND CHERRY WALKED UP THE RAMP CELEBRATING THE WIN. *Invitees provided by Jersey All Pro Wrestling (www.japw.net) PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
WHEN PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR, VIDEO CLIPS ARE SHOWN FROM THE LAST EPISODE OF EDGE's NOW INFAMOUS CHAMPION's ADDRESS WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY INTERRUPTED BY JORDAN ROCKWELL. AFTER EDGE TRIES TO TAKE A CHEAP SHOT, ROCKWELL BACKDROPS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR. "RAP SUPERSTAR" THEN PLAYS INTO THE BLACK AND WHITE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO WHICH SHOWS EVERY SUPERSTAR ONE BY ONE. THE PRUDENTIAL CENTER IS THEN SHOWN AND PYRO POPS OFF ALL AROUND THE SET AS THE CROWD CHEERS AND SCREAMS AS LOUD AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN. RIGHT AFTER THE PYRO CONCLUDES, TATANKA's NATIVE AMERICAN WARCHANT IS HEARD AND HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, RUNNING TO THE RING. TATANKA IS WEARING HIS CEREMONIAL HEADDRESS AND HIS OLD FACEPAINT. Michael Cole: "Hello again everyone and welcome to TWF PrimeTime live from the Prudential Center here in Newark, New Jersey and partner, we are starting things off with a match in the tournament to decide a new number one contender for Jordan Rockwell's Intercontinental title"! Honky Tonk Man: "It's the last match in the first round of this tournament and it should be a good one but take a look at Tatanka..... last time we saw him, he was wearing that white and black facepaint". Cole: "We understand that Tatanka has gone back to his roots and spent some time with the Lumby Indian tribe in an attempt to apparently find himself and he says he's back and better than ever"! HE FANS BOO WHEN JOHN MORRISON's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HTM: "Well we'll see what he can do against this guy because while you were rounding up all that info on Tatanka, Michael, I was talking to this guy and he believes this tournament is going to be his way to finally break out onto the scene as a major player"! Cole: "The winner will advance in the tournament, the loser is eliminated"! #1 Contender for Intercontinental Title Tournament- First Round Tatanka vs. John Morrison Morrison asked for some time in the corner to remove his shades and fur coat but when Tatanka turned around, he attacked him from behind, still wearing the coat and sunglasses. After bodyslamming Tatanka, Morrison removed the garb and delivered a break dance style legdrop, covering Tatanka but only getting a 2 count. Morrison pulled him up and shot him to the ropes but Tatanka ducked a clothesline and delivered a reverse flying forearm, as the veteran showed a lot of agility. Tatanka then took it to Morrison, pounding him with knifedge chops and after hitting the ropes, he smashed Morrison over the head with a tomahawk. A cover only got him a count but after a scoop slam, Tatanka began to do a wardance around the ring, bringing the crowd to it's feet. Tatanka got Morrison up, looking for the "Wykea" but Morrison countered into a wicked DDT, spiking Tatanka into the mat. Morrison got to his feet and Tatanka was slow to do the same. When he did get up, Morrison grabbed him and delivered the "Moonlight Drive", covering the Native American to win the match. Match Time: 4:28 HTM: "Oh what a move! That reminds me of my Shake, Rattle and Roll.... no one got up from that either"! Cole: "It is a very effective move and it has propelled Morrison to a victory over Tatanka here in the tournament"! HTM: "I wonder what Tatanka thinks now.... maybe it's time to go back and visit those Lumpy Indians"! Cole: "That would be Lumby, partner, Lumby. None the less, John Morrison will now face CM Punk in the second round". BACKSTAGE..... The fans started to cheer as backstage Chaos Wolf is shown walking to his dressing room. As he is about to close the door to his dressing room, Lena Yada catches up with him.
Lena Yada: "Chaos Wolf, I was wondering if you could explain your actions from last week when you came out and attacked Kevin Thorn and in the process, saved Gina Carano from whatever it was that Thorn had in mind"?
Chaos Wolf: "Ya know Lena, last time I checked, I didn’t have to explain myself to anyone around here. I did what I did last week because I felt like it. Now if you'll excuse me I have a match to get ready for".
Lena: "You do realize that should you continue to oppose Kevin Thorn it would be a three on one situation"?
Wolf: "That’s what you and everyone else would think but I have friends in high places".
Wolf then closed the door in Lena’s face, ending the interview and the shot faded out. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN SITTING AT A DESK IN HIS OFFICE WHEN THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN. IN WALKS PJ CASH. PJ Cash (laughs): "You, uh, wanted to see me"? Shane McMahon: "I sure did". PJ Cash: "Well let me just remind you that I am here without the representation of my legal counsel, so I....... Shane McMahon: "Look, cut the crap, alright? I know you thought you were a big man last week, attacking Arn Anderson like you did. And I heard your complaint, I know you want some action. So tonight.... that's exactly what you're gonna get. See, I have it on good authority that The Undertaker will be here tonight....... and you're gonna face him"! CASH LOOKS STUNNED BUT SHANE JUST STARES BACK AT HIM. CASH THINKS ABOUT SAYING SOMETHING, BUT INSTEAD JUST LEAVES THE OFFICE AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. Carney and Turrican vs. Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made Two tag teams looking to make a splash on PrimeTime met in this one and the crowd enjoyed a very fast paced, high energy match. Pyromania and Taylor Made were able to get Turrican in the ring for an extended period of time and using frequent tags in and out, they were able to really slow him down. But late in the match, following a snap suplex, Pyromania pulled Turrican up and whipped him to the ropes but Turrican was able to come back with a flying headscissor before knocking Taylor off the apron with a dropkick. Turrican was then able to make a tag to Carney who had been waiting for one for over 5 minutes. Carney came in and was all over Pyromania, catching him with a flying wheel kick off an irish whip followed by a corkscrew legdrop. Taylor tried to get in the ring but Turrican came in to fight him off as Carney set Pyro up for the "C-Drive". But Pyro was able to counter and he tried for a northern lights suplex, but Carney elbowed out of that. Just then, Turrican threw a superkick but Pyro got out of the way at the last second and it took out Carney, who fell back to the mat hard! Pyromania then covered Carney and hooked the inside leg for the victory. Match Time: 7:36 Cole: "Oh what a shot! An errant kick by Turrican has cost his team this match"! HTM: "Yeah, that's becoming a recurring theme for Turrican"! Cole: "Well what I want to know is why Turrican didn't even attempt to break up the pin! He was standing right there"! HTM: "I think that's the same question Carney's asking.... look...... CARNEY GOT IN THE FACE OF TURRICAN AND SHOVED HIM ACROSS THE RING. TURRICAN WAS ABLE TO SHAKE IT OFF AND HE JUST LEFT THE RING, LEAVING CARNEY QUESTIONING HIS TEAMMATE. Cole: "Well it looks like cooler heads might prevail here, but if these two are gonna remain a team.... they've got to get on the same page, partner"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS STANDING BY WITH JOE COREY. Lena Yada: "Joe, we just found out that The Undertaker is scheduled to be here tonight". Joe Corey: "Which is exactly what I was hoping for. Tonight, I'll prove to the world that I'm not afraid of the deadman". COREY WALKS OUT OF THE SHOT JUST AS IT RETURNS TO THE RING. FINLAY IS IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE HAS HIS SHILLELAGH IN HAND. "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" BY THE WOJAHN BROTHERS COMES ON AND SAMAIEL COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. Cole: "The Undertaker is scheduled to face PJ Cash later tonight but do you really buy that.... what Corey just said"? HTM: "Of course I buy that he's not afraid of The Undertaker and tonight, he'll prove it". Cole: "Well I'll believe that when I see it but right now, Samaiel is set to take on Finlay and on the subject of guys who seem to have a death wish, what is Samaiel trying to prove by messing with Nails"? HTM: "Well few superstars have ever volunteered to do what Samaiel is doing to Nails, but I have to say, I like it". Finlay vs. Samaiel The hits started and just kept on coming in this one. Finlay and Samaiel engaged in a heated exchange of right hands to start the match and Samaiel was able to get in a rake of the eyes. But Finlay reversed an irish whip and dropped him with a clothesline. After a nasty fireman's carry slam, Finlay covered him but Samaiel was up. Finlay hammered Samaiel across the back before trying to pick him up for a gutwrench but Samaiel blocked it and after getting free, kicked him right in the face. Samaiel then proceeded to drop not one, not two, but nine consecutive elbows across the chest of Finlay before going for a cover. 1.......2......, Finlay was up. Samaiel picked him up and shot him to the corner but he ran right into a back elbow and Finlay came out with a clothesline. Finlay then picked up the shillelagh but referee Charles Robinson grabbed it from him and put it back in the corner. Finlay grabbed Samaiel and this time, was able to complete the gutwrench suplex. But he threw Samaiel into the same corner and Samaiel grabbed the shillelagh. Robinson saw this as well and took the weapon from Samaiel. Finlay moved in but Samaiel punched him right in the groin, behind the ref's back. Samaiel then got Finlay up and delivered "Hell's Hammer", covering him for the win. Match Time: 6:44 HTM: "There we go, a huge win for Samaiel who is really...... Cole: "Oh look at this"! JUST THEN, NAILS CAME OUT FROM THE BACK, CHARGING TOWARDS THE RING WITH A BASEBALL BAT WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE AND ON FIRE! AT THE LAST SECOND, SAMAIEL SAW HIM AND QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE RING AS THE FANS CHEERED. HTM: "My God.... what the hell is wrong with this guy"?! Cole: "I don't know, Samaiel, was trying to make an example out of the hockey mask wearing freak a good move"?! COMMERCIAL BREAK............. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... Chaos Wolf is on the phone when knocking is heard on the door of his dressing room.
Chaos Wolf: "The door is open so come on in".
The door opens to reveal Gina Carano was the one knocking.
Wolf: "Hey, Tirpak, I’ll see you after the show. Hangs up the phone.
Gina Carano: "I just wanted to thank you for what you did on the last show. If you hadn’t of shown up, I don’t know what those two would have done to me".
Wolf: "Look I only did it because I don’t like seeing a rookie getting beat up like it looked you were about to. I remember when I first started here four or five years ago, how I got taken advantage of cause I was still new to the place".
Gina: "So you did it out of pity"?
Wolf: (laughs) "Look, since this our first time speaking with each other, its obvious you don’t really get my kind of reasoning. Tell you what, after my match why don’t you......... AT THAT MOMENT, TITO ORTIZ WALKS INTO THE SHOT AND STARES A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH CHAOS WOLF BEFORE WALKING AWAY. Gina Carano: "Uh, nice talking to you.... I gotta go". KENNY DOANE's MUSIC HITS AND HE RECEIVES A LOT OF HEAT AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "We are back here on PrimeTime and we are ready for a huge rematch for the Lightheavyweight title"! HTM: "Let's put that aside for just a second, Michael. Did you watch that pathetic attempt on the part of Chaos Wolf to come onto Gina Carano? I was glad to see Tito Ortiz put him in his place". THE FANS POP WHEN EVAN BOURNE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT, HEADED TOWARDS THE RING. Cole: "Chaos Wolf is scheduled to face Kevin Thorn right after this match but here is a man ready to right a wrong, partner. At the Royal Rumble, Evan Bourne had the Lightheavyweight..... oh look out"! FROM BEHIND, BOURNE IS ATTACKED BY SUPER CRAZY BEFORE HE EVEN GETS TO THE RING. AFTER SEVERAL SHOTS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, CRAZY PUTS BOURNE DOWN WITH A FLAPJACK ON THE FLOOR AS DOANE LEAVES THE RING WITH THE BELT. Cole: "Oh now what? Doane is waiting for Bourne to get up"! HTM: "I think it's safe to assume this match isn't going to happen, Michael"! BOURNE IS PICKED UP BY SUPER CRAZY BEFORE DOANE HITS HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH THE TITLE BELT. THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS AS BOURNE IS PUT BACK DOWN. Cole: "Kenny Doane never intended to put the title on the line tonight! He's just used Super Crazy once again to screw Evan Bourne"! HTM: "It's the growing Doane-ation, Michael"! Cole: "Growing? This "nation", as they refer to it, has two guys"! THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACK WHERE JOHN CENA IS SHOWN. JUST THEN, WILLIAM REGAL COMES UP. William Regal: "Ah, if it isn't the heroic John Cena himself. You know what, sunshine? You are exactly the type of person my comrades in the U.N. love to break down..... take pride in destroying. Here you are...... a supposed proud American..... John Cena: "Damn right". Regal (laughs): "But you have no idea why you are so proud. Is it because of your hypocritical politics? Or perhaps it's....... Cena: "Let me cut you off right there, man. You can sit here and rant on the United States and try to get a rise out of me and I could sit here and fire back at you with the reasons why I love my country. But it's not gonna change the fact that you and I have a match tonight..... and I plan on winning". Regal: "See you in the ring". REGAL WALKS PAST CENA AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. THE ARENA LIGHTS GO OUT AND A RED HAZE FALLS OVER IT AS KEVIN THORN's MUSIC, "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON AND ARIEL LEADS HIM OUT FROM THE BACK. ARIEL IS WEARING A RED AND BLACK CORSET WITH A BLACK HOODED CAPE OVER HER SHOULDERS AND THORN IS CARRYING HIS WALKING STICK. Cole: "Fans if you remember back to the last PrimeTime, Ariel and Kevin Thorn had something very devious in mind for Gina Carano. The female MMA star turned diva may've had her young TWF career cut short if not for Chaos Wolf". HTM: "And that is what has led to this match which should be a dogfight". Cole: "A dogfight, huh"? HTM: "Yeah.... I like that better than slobberknocker". THE FANS LOULDY CHEER WHEN "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR COMES ON AND CHAOS WOLF STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK. Cole: "Well it's always a war whenever this guy is involved". HTM: "Yeah, well I think he's soon going to regret sticking his nose in the business of the Requiem". Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Chaos Wolf As the bell sounded to start the match, Thorn came up and took a swing at Wolf but Wolf ducked and came back with some right hands of his own before hitting the ropes anc kicking Thorn in the midsection. He then went for a swinging neckbreaker but Thorn was able to grab the top rope to block that and then he kicked Wolf right in the face. Off an irish whip, Thorn found the mark with a back elbow before dropping a big leg across his throat. Thorn made the cover, but Wolf was up before the count of 2. Thorn got Wolf up on his shoulders and dropped him over the top turnbuckle with the snake eyes before running the ropes but Wolf ducked a clothesline and pulled him to the mat with an immediate neckbreaker. Wolf then went to the turnbuckle and climbed to the top, flying off with a clothesline that took Thorn off his feet. Wolf then got up and encouraged the crowd to get involved, but after running the ropes, Wolf had his right foot grabbed by Ariel and was nearly tripped up. Wolf reached through the ring ropes and grabbed her by the hair and he was starting to pull her into the ring when Thorn came from behind with a forearm to the back of the head. He then used the middle ring rope to choke Wolf before referee Mickey Henson pulled him back. As this was going on, Ariel got Thorn's walking stick and jammed it into the temple of Wolf! Wolf looked like he was out of it, draped over the middle rope before Thorn grabbed him from behind and delivered a full nelson slam before going into a cover and Henson registered the 3 count. Match Time: 6:02 HTM: "And that's what having someone like Ariel at ringside will do for ya"! Cole: "What, so you can have someone to help you pick up cheap wins?! She used that walking stick on Chaos Wolf, who was cruising until she got involved"! THORN's MUSIC PLAYED AGAIN AS HE CELEBRATED THE WIN IN THE RING WITH ARIEL HANGING WITH HER LEGS WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST. HTM: "Well maybe Chaos Wolf should've thought about all of that before he decided to ruin what the Requiem had planned for Gina Carano"! Cole: "Boy I just love your logic. We'll be right back........ COMMERCIAL BREAK........... RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE....... John Cena vs. William Regal This was a very good match between two very contrasting styles. Regal was able to get Cena on the mat but Cena surprisingly held his own, escaping all of Regal's holds and using his power to get the match back on the feet. After a big hip toss slam, Cena had regained control. He was able to deliver his swinging sideslam before calling for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. But after running the ropes, Cena could only watch as Regal got to his feet and popped him with a forearm in the mouth before using a nasty cobra clutch suplex. The move drove the back of Cena's head and neck into the mat. Regal made the cover, but Cena was up at 2 and a half. Regal tried to keep Cena grounded and was looking for the Regal Stretch. But Cena fought it off well with his hands and after rolling to his back, he used both feet to push Regal back. Regal connected with another forearm before running the ropes but Cena was able to get Regal up on his shoulders when he came back, delivering the "F-U" and going right into the cover to win the match. Match Time: 7:42 "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYED AFTER THE MATCH BUT NOT FOR LONG. CENA HAD HIS CELEBRATION CUT SHORT WHEN VLADIMIR KOZLOV, PAUL BURCHILL AND HARRY SMITH CAME OUT, LEADING TO A 4 ON 1 ATTACK. AFTER EACH MAN HAD GOTTEN IN HIS SHOTS, REGAL ASKED FOR THEM TO HOLD CENA UP BEFORE HE DELIVERED A NECKBREAKER, A MOVE HE ONCE CALLED THE REGAL CUTTER. THE U.N.'s MUSIC THEN PLAYED AND THE QUARTET LEFT THE RING TO SOME MASSIVE HEAT. BACKSTAGE AREA...... IN THE BACK, ROAD AGENT ARN ANDERSON IS TALKING WITH ONE OF THE STAGEHANDS WHEN PJ CASH COMES UP. ANDERSON ASKS THE STAGEHAND TO EXCUSE HIM. PJ Cash: "Still got a headache..... cause I might have some Advil or somethin' in my bag". Arn Anderson: "You just don't get it, do you? Ya know, I....... Cash: "Save the speech. I know you've already talked to your buddy The Undertaker and told him what you wanted him to do to me tonight, since you can't do it yourself and all, but let me make one thing perfectly clear to you, Double A....... it doesn't matter. Everyone in this arena tonight and all the poor, good for nothing losers watching from home can't wait to see The Undertaker mame me..... to hurt me..... right? Well I have a pretty good feeling that's not gonna happen". Anderson: "Well when it does...... maybe you'll think about changing that piss poor attitude you have because until you do..... you'll go nowhere in this business. I have a pretty good feeling about that". ANDERSON LEAVES CASH AT THE SCENE BEFORE EDGE IS SHOWN IN ANOTHER PART ON THE BACKSTAGE AREA, STANDING BY WITH LENA YADA. Lena Yada: "Edge, on the last PrimeTime, you had your very own champion's address scheduled and you even invited former University of Kentucky basketball coach Rick Pitino as your special guest. However, all of that was spoiled by Jordan Rockwell". Edge: "Rockwell..... who the hell do you think you are?! If you think that you can come out and ruin my special night.... to ruin something I took time planning and it's gonna go unnoticed.... you've got another thing coming! When I first met you, I thought you were like the coolest guy and I bought into everything you said, even all that franchise crap. But you've always tried to further your career at the expense of someone else. You're always trying to play some stupid joke or play some ridiculous games! And for the satisfaction of who.... these people?! You're pathetic Rockwell and your time will come..... your time will come and when it does..... I'll show all of your people what a washed up loser you really are"! "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO COMES ON AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A MAJOR CHEER WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. UMAGA IS SHOWN WAITING IN THE RING. Cole: "Harsh words from Edge but Jordan Rockwell has a scheduled match here with the Samoan Bulldozer so I would imagine his focus is on that". HTM: "Well it should be but you say harsh, I happen to agree with everything Edge just said! What business was it of Jordan Rockwell's to ruin the champion's address Edge had set up?! And speaking of focus, Jordan Rockwell not only has to worry about the Rated R Superstar, but also whoever comes out of this number one contender's tournament which he asked for"! Cole: "Well tonight he's got Umaga so his attention, at least his immediate attention, will have to be on this monster". Non-Title Match Umaga vs. Intercontinental Champion: Jordan Rockwell Rockwell found himself in a very physical matchup here with Umaga who used several knifedge chops and a headbutt to hamper the Intercontinental champion in the early going. Rockwell got back into it by ducking a backhand off an irish whip and using a dropkick to knock Umaga into the ropes, where be became tied up. Rockwell hit Umaga with a relentless barrage of right hands before referee Mike Enos pushed him back and helped Umaga get free. Rockwell then walked right into a Samoan drop and after a scoop slam, Umaga went to the corner, climbing up to the middle turnbuckle. After yelling something in his native tongue, Umaga flew off with a diving headbutt, but Rockwell got out of the way. Both men were slow to get up and when they did, an exchange of right hands took place in the center of the ring. Umaga was able to catch him with a thrust to the throat before taking a couple steps back for a superkick but Rockwell sidestepped that and after a quick kick to the midsection, he delivered the "Extreme Measures"! Rockwell then covered Umaga and Enos pounded the mat for the 1.......2........3! Match Time: 5:31 Cole: "And just like that, this one's over! What a huge win for the Franchise"! HTM: "Yeah, well good for him. Rockwell still has a lot to worr about if you ask me"! "SAVE ME" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS ROCKWELL STOOD IN THE RING, ABSORBING THE APPRECIATIVE CHEERS OF THE CROWD. Cole: "Well fans you don't want to go away, because still to come tonight, the million dollar mogul PJ Cash squares off with The Undertaker"! COMMERCIAL BREAK............ RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, JOHN CENA IS PACING BACK AND FORTH IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WITH LENA YADA NEARBY. Lena Yada: "John..... what is it you'd like to say"? John Cena: "Did it really take all four of those guys to come out there and beat me down? Well, Lena, we've got a show called Main Event coming up and I'm ready for a little challenge. All I keep hearing about is what a great team Paul Burchill and Harry Smith, our TWF Tag Team champions are. Look guys, I don't even want the titles. I'll go out and find a partner..... someone who is as passionate about this great country as I am and we'll meet you guys at Main Event.... if you're up to it". CENA WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT FROM THE BACK TO SOME MAJOR BOOS. HTM: "Does Cena really know what he's getting himself into"? Cole: "Well the challenge has been issued but will the U.N. accept"? HTM: "And here comes one of my personal favorites from TWF Rampage and I have really been looking forward to this". Cole: "Jason Oliver promised he would be here tonight and we should have someone look up when the last time he was on PrimeTime was. He began his TWF career here, ya know"? OLIVER GETS INTO THE RING AND IS HANDED A MICROPHONE. Jason Oliver: "I don't want to waste anyone's time so Shawn....... everybody's saying you're here tonight. I'm not sure where you've been hiding out, but you know what this is about so please.... let's not waste anymore time". AFTER A MOMENTARY PAUSE, "SEXY BOY" COMES ON AND THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY WILD AS SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT WEARING A SIGNATURE "HEARTBREAK KID" T-SHIRT, BLUE JEANS AND A COWBOY HAT. Cole: "Look at this! Shawn Michaels has answered the call"! HTM: "I'm curious to see what this is all about, Michael"! Cole: "Shawn Michaels is, as always, in tip top condition here and this should be very interesting". MICHAELS GETS INTO THE RING AND TAKES IN A LONG AND LOUD "HBK" CHANT AS OLIVER LOOKS ON, SMILING. Jason Oliver: "Just couldn't stay away from the spotlight could ya? I knew....... Shawn Michaels: "Let's cut right to the chase here, Jason. Ya see, I know what you want, I know what this is all about. I've heard you and your buddies from GeNext making some noise about the legends of this business sticking around to long and stealing oppurtunities from guys like you. To be one hundred percent honest with ya, man, I pretty much agree with you. Now, when I got the call from Rowdy Roddy Piper about what you wanted, I have to say I was hesitant. And for all the fans of the TWF, what this man wants is a match with the Showstopper, the Main Event, the Icon at the biggest event of the year...... WrestleMania"! THE FANS POP IN UNISON. Cole: "Wow"! Michaels: "But do you want to know why I was so hesitant? I heard you talk, and I heard what you had to say but honestly, I wasn't ready to put myself in that over-the-hill category you talk so much about. Now I know I'm in the twilight of my career, but I still feel I can get into this ring with anyone in the world"! THE FANS AGAIN CHEER. Cole: "Doesn't sound like he's getting much of an argument there". Oliver: "Okay, Michaels, you've gotten all your people behind you, so what's it gonna be..... yes..... or no"? AFTER HEARING THAT, MICHAELS STANDS FACE TO FACE WITH OLIVER, LISTENING TO SEVERAL THINGS COMING FROM THE FANS. Michaels: "Without a doubt........ yes! THE FANS GO WILD AT HIS ANNOUNCEMENT. And why? Not for your personal satisfaction...... but so you can find out first hand that not everyone who has been around a lot longer than you....... is taking your oppurtunities away! No, you're gonna find out, Jason Oliver, that you're good...... you're just not quite that good"! "SEXY BOY" HITS AGAIN AND MICHAELS DROPS HIS MICROPHONE BEFORE LEAVING THE RING, DANCING UP THE AISLE AND SLAPPING HANDS WITH THE CROWD. IN THE RING, OLIVER SEEMS SATISFIED WITH HIS RESPONSE. Cole: "There ya have it..... that match is now official"! HTM: "What is this, the Shawn Michaels show?! Oliver didn't even get in a word edgewise"! Cole: "He got what he wanted, didn't he"?! THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACK WHERE SAMAIEL IS WITH LENA YADA. Lena Yada: "Samaiel, earlier tonight, we saw Nails come out with a baseball bat not only wrapped in barbed wire, but on fire, chasing you out of the ring. You've asked for this time.... your thoughts"? Samaiel (a sick grin on his face): "Nails, please don't mistake my fleeing the ring for fear. You see, I know you're crazy, sadistic and all that, but you're soon going to find out that I am too. As you know, I am working on something. It's not quite ready yet but when it is..... I'll have no problems entering your personal hell with you". SAMAIEL BEGINS TO LAUGH BEFORE THE RINGSIDE AREA IS SHOWN AGAIN. "EX's AND OH's" BY ATREYU COMES ON AND PJ CASH COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, RECEIVING A HOARD OF BOOS. Cole: "Well here we go! It was competition that PJ Cash asked for, but do you view this as punishment, partner"? HTM: "Of course it's punishment. But if I know PJ Cash, he's gonna make the most of this oppurtunity and find a way to shock the world here"! SECONDS LATER, THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA TURN OFF AND THE FANS CHEER IN ANTICIPATION OF THE DEADMAN. A BELL TOLLS AND THEN AGAIN. THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY OUT FROM THE BACK. Cole: "He's back! The Undertaker has made his return to the TWF and I gotta say, partner, I would not want to be in the shoes of PJ Cash right now!" HTM: "There is no doubt The Undertaker will be the favorite here, but don't underestimate Cash"! BUT JUST THEN, BOTH JOE COREY AND TITO ORTIZ RUN OUT FROM THE BACK, EACH CARRYING A STEEL CHAIR. ORTIZ SMACKS THE UNDERTAKER ACROSS THE BACK AND WHEN HE TURNS AROUND, COREY WHALLOPS HIM OVER THE HEAD. Cole: "What the hell is this?! Joe Corey and Tito Ortiz have ambushed The Undertaker again"! THE UNDERTAKER WAS DOWN ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP AND COREY SMASHED HIS HEAD IN AGAIN WITH THE CHAIR. HTM: "The last time we saw The Undertaker, he was in the same position at the hands of the same guys"! Cole: "It looks like Corey and Ortiz are trying to finish the job"! COREY ORDERED ORTIZ TO GO TO THE BACK AND HE RETURNED, PUSHING A LARGE CASKET OUT AS THE FANS WERE IN SHOCK. Cole: "Oh my.... look at this"! ORTIZ PULLED OPEN THE LID OF THE CASKET AND WHEN UNDERTAKER GOT TO HIS FEET, COREY BLASTED HIM ONE MORE TIME WITH THE CHAIR, KNOCKING HIM INTO THE CASKET. A COLLECTIVE GASP WAS HEARD FROM THE CROWD AS THE CASKET LID WAS SHUT DOWN WITH THE UNDERTAKER INSIDE. HTM: "I don't believe what we are seeing! It's the destruction of the deadman"! COREY AND ORTIZ BEGAN TO PUSH THE HEAVY CASKET BACK UP THE RAMP WHEN COREY WAVED PJ CASH ON. CASH CAME OVER TO HELP AND THE 3 MEN WERE ABLE TO GET THE CASKET TO THE TOP OF THE STAGE. Cole: "Oh no..... they can't do this". WITH ONE FINAL SHOVE, COREY, ORTIZ AND CASH WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CASKET OFF THE STAGE AND IT CRASHED TO THE ARENA FLOOR, AT LEAST 10 FEET BELOW! HTM: "Oh my God...... this is not good". A VARIETY OF STUNNED FANS WERE SHOWN IN THE CROWD, SOME WITH THEIR HANDS OVER THEIR FACES AND ONE EVEN CRYING. Cole: "Joe Corey was removed from competition at WrestleMania 10 but fans.... it appears they have removed The Undertaker from the TWF..... possibly for good". OFF AIR...........
