THE BLACK AND WHITE OPENING VIDEO MONTAGE FOR PRIMETIME ROLLS BEFORE THE ARENA IS SHOWN. THOUSANDS OF TWF FANS FROM ANAHEIM ARE HEARD SCREAMING AS LOUD AS THEY CAN AS PYRO POUNDS OFF THE SET.

Michael Cole: "We will be in California for the stretch run to WrestleMania and we are here in Anaheim for PrimeTime! A huge show on hand tonight, partner"!

Honky Tonk Man: "All of the superstars already on the card will get their final shots in and those not yet part of the card, will do what they can to be part of the biggest show of the year"!

JOHN MORRISON's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION.

Cole: "Over the last several weeks, we have been working through a tournament to crown a number one contender for the Intercontinental title and we have reached the finals"!

HTM: "It started with eight men and it is now down to two".

"SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA COMES ON AND MARK HENRY MAKES HIS WAY FROM THE BACK TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Cole: "Well, partner, on paper, this looks like the classic mismatch. Does Morrison have a chance tonight"?

HTM: "I really like what John Morrison brings to the table but this is gonna be a tough one. Mark Henry already knows what it's like to be champion and nothing drives a superstar more than the taste of gold"!

#1 Contender for Intercontinental title tournament finals

Mark Henry vs. John Morrison

It was clear from the opening bell that Morrison wanted to avoid getting in close with Henry, trying to strike and move. He used his feet to fend off the World's Strongest Man and after a crescent kick teetered the big man back and forth, Morrison ran the ropes but Henry crushed him with both arms as he came back. Henry then used his power to overwhelm Morrison, slamming him to the mat and then just using both feet to stand on him. Henry then picked Morrison up above his head in a gorilla press and slammed him to the mat. Then, he stood on Morrison again and he was slowly sapping everything he had. Henry pulled him up again and whipped him to the ropes, slamming into him with an avalanche splash. But when he went for the move again, Morrison moved out of the way and used a springboard spin kick to the head, finally knocking Henry off his feet. Morrison started to hear cheers as the crowd was very much against Henry. He went to the top rope and came off, taking Henry down with a spinning neckbreaker drop. It was basically a flying version of the "Moonlight Drive" and he covered Henry, hooking his inside leg with all he had to get the 1.......2.........3!

Match Time: 7:20

Cole: "Morrison has done it! He is the new number one contender for the Intercontinental title"!

HTM: "What a huge upset! And are my ears deceiving me, or is this crowd actually behind him"?!

MORRISON's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE VERY EXCITEDLY CELEBRATED THE WIN BEFORE LEAVING THE RING.

Cole: "A surprising win and a surprising reaction..... John Morrison has won the tournament"!

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

RETURN FROM BREAK.... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE......

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS PICK UP A CONVERSATION BETWEEN SHANE McMAHON AND CM PUNK, IN SHANE's OFFICE.

Shane McMahon: "So because Edge screwed you out of your chance to become Intercontinental champion, you think you should just be added to the Universal title match at Mania"?

CM Punk: "Put me in a match tonight, do whatever you have to do, I want to be a part of WrestleMania, man".

Shane McMahon: "Yeah, I can respect that, it's the biggest show of the year. So this is what I'll do. You will face Edge tonight and if you win, I'll allow you to be the special referee of the Universal title match at WrestleMania".

CM Punk: "Special referee? That's it"?

Shane McMahon: "Take it or leave it, Punk".

Punk: "Fine..... I'll take it".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE ARENA ARE OFF AND KEVIN THORN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH ARIEL TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

Cole: "A huge match just announced there by Shane McMahon..... that's got WrestleMania implications all over it"!

HTM: "CM Punk has a chance to be the special referee at WrestleMania, all he has to do is beat the Universal champion tonight..... good luck".

Cole: "Well here comes the duo from the dark side, Kevin Thorn and Ariel".

"TEARS DON'T FALL" BY BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE IS HEARD AND GINA CARANO COMES OUT TO A VERY BIG CHEER.

HTM: "And this match will be very interesting because Ariel will be more than a spectator.... she'll be in action"!

Cole: "Well she finds a way to be more than a spectator for most of Kevin Thorn's matches but listen to the cheer for Gina Carano! Did you ever imagine her popularity would translate over from the world of MMA"?!

"REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR STARTS UP AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER FROM THE CROWD.

HTM: "I don't follow MMA much but I do know that Tito Ortiz is not the least bit thrilled with this new allegiance being formed between Chaos Wolf and Ms. Carano".

Cole: "Well if not for Chaos Wolf having the guts to step in, who knows what the Requiem had planned for Gina Carano"!

HTM: "Personally, I would've liked to see what they had planned".

Cole: "Pshhh..... anyway folks, this will be a mixed gender tag match, meaning Thorn can only be in there with Chaos Wolf and Ariel can only be in there with Carano".

Mixed Gender Tag Team Match

Chaos Wolf and Gina Carano vs. Kevin Thorn and Ariel

Gina Carano asked Wolf if she could start the match and he stepped out of the ring so she could. Thorn was ordered to get out by referee Mickey Henson and Ariel stepped in. But right when Carano got into a fighting stance, Ariel slapped the shoulder of Thorn to get out of the match. Gina just shook her head before giving way to Wolf, who locked up with Thorn. Wolf tried to overpower him but Thorn caught him with an elbow to the face followed by a stiff forearm. Wolf came right back with 2 right hands but after running the ropes, Thorn kicked him right in the face. He then got down on the mat and began to choke Wolf with both hands, waiting until Henson reached a count of 4 before letting go. He then pulled Wolf up and whipped him to the ropes but he missed with a clothesline and Wolf responded with a springboard crossbody, getting a 2 count on Thorn. Wolf then ran over and grabbed Ariel by the hair, flipping her over the top rope into the ring and then he made the tag to Carano. The fans came to their feet to watch her punish the vampiress with kicks to the body followed by a nice snap mare. Gina pulled Ariel up and delivered a very nice snap suplex but at that time, Gangrel and Drusus made their way out from the back. The boos from the crowd alerted Wolf and he jumped off the apron, taking both of them on. But in the ring, Thorn came in and just drilled Carano with a clothesline behind Henson's back. He then grabbed Ariel and pulled her on top of Carano as Henson turned to issue the 3 count.

Match Time: 4:21

HTM: (laughs)

Cole: "What the hell?! Kevin Thorn attacked Gina Carano"!

HTM: "Yep.... and Ariel got the pin"!

THE REQUIEM's MUSIC PLAYED AND THORN AND ARIEL JOINED GANGREL AND DRUSUS IN THE AISLE AS CHAOS WOLF CAME INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON THE FALLEN CARANO.

Cole: "Yeah, they should be real proud of that! Chaos Wolf has an open challenge issued for a Lights Out match at WrestleMania...... I'd love to see one of these guys from the Requiem step up and accept it, but that won't happen..... they run in a pack"!

HTM: "The only one who had their lights put out was Gina Carano"!

BACKSTAGE......

JOE COREY AND TITO ORTIZ ARE SHOWN IN A DRESSING ROOM AND COREY SEEMS TO BE GIVING ORTIZ SOME TIPS FOR HIS UPCOMING MATCH WITH THE UNDERTAKER WHEN PJ CASH COMES IN.

PJ Cash: (slaps Ortiz on the back) "Ready to go tonight"?

Tito Ortiz: "Oh yeah.... way ready".

Cash: "Well I just heard a rumor so I wanted to let you guys know that I'll be showing up on Rampage".

Joe Corey: "How are you gonna do that and what'd you hear"?

Cash: "I already got clearance from Shane-O-Mac who talked to Roddy Piper. I just see it as an oppurtunity to get a match at WrestleMania, and it comes from a very reliable source".

Corey: "Cool man, well let us know if you need us there.... we got your back".

Cash: "Just focus on The Undertaker..... I'll handle this".

A LOUD SIREN IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY "HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME" WHEN THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND SCOTT STEINER COMES OUT ALONGSIDE CHERRY WHO IS ONCE AGAIN WEARING A VERY REVEALING OUTFIT.

Cole: "Well ya gotta wonder what that's all about but here comes one of the men who will compete in the WrestleMania Jackpot match"!

HTM: "The last spot for that match will be decided on the next Rampage but take a look at Cherry.... boy she wasn't kidding when she said she was gonna change"!

Cole: "She is standing up for what she believes in, I guess, but I still don't like the way she went about it".

"LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND NAILS COMES OUT TO A WILD REACTION.

HTM: "Do you think that look qualifies her as one of Steiner's freaks"?

Cole: "I wouldn't think so, she made it clear she wasn't that kind of girl. In fact, I'd say she wears the pants in that relationship".

HTM: "What? Let's see you tell that to Big Poppa Pump, Cole".

Cole: "It has been officially announced that Nails will take on Samaiel in a hardcore rules match at WrestleMania so this is a big match for both of these men"!

Scott Steiner w/ Cherry vs. Nails

This was a hard hitting match from the opening bell and both men were looking for the homerun early. Nails won a tradeoff of punches to start the match, but after Steiner slipped out of his grasp when he tried to pick him up, he dropped Nails with a deathdrop DDT. Steiner then dropped an elbow before flexing for the booing crowd and then he went into a set of push-ups. He got up and turned around, only to see the hockey mask wearing freak on his feet. Nails pounded Steiner with 4 hard right hands that knocked him into the corner. Referee Mike Enos stepped in to try and get some seperation but Steiner went for a cheap shot. Nails blocked the right hand, however and kicked Steiner in the gut before using his mask as a weapon, headbutting Big Poppa Pump. He then ran the ropes and kicked him right in the face before covering him, but Cherry came over and put Steiner's right foot on the bottom rope before Enos could get a 3 count. Nails got up and stared at Cherry through his mask. She looked very frightened but Steiner came from behind with a forearm to the upper back. He then lifted Nails up and delivered a backdrop suplex. From there, he got him up and shot him to the ropes and connected with a Steiner Line. He went for the cover, but Nails kicked out at 2. Steiner was starting to take control when he flung Nails into the corner, showing off his incredible strength. He then ran in but Nails moved out of the way. From there, Nails scooped him up and hit the "Nail Driver", falling atop Steiner to get the 1.........2........3!

Match Time: 6:12

Cole: "Wow..... I'd say Nails is ready for Samaiel.... what an impressive victory"!

HTM: "Well I hope Samaiel was watching and taking good notes because we've heard him talk about the vile things he has done but we've witnessed first hand what Nails is capable of"!

NAILS STARTED TO WALK BACK UP THE RAMP AS "LEFT BEHIND" PLAYED BUT HIS MUSIC STOPPED AND HE STOPPED IN HIS TRACKS WHEN HE HEARD SOMEONE CALL HIS NAME. SAMAIEL THEN APPEARED ON THE PRIMETRON.... HIS BACK TO THE CAMERA.

Samaiel: "Nails..... oh Nails......., heh, good to see you still don't back down from a fight. Now, I know you say you're the most hard, psychotic superstar the TWF ever saw.... but let's be honest, it's all about one thing...... that mask! You see, I'm not scared of that mask (Samiel turns around to show he is wearing a very sadistic looking mask of his own), in fact, I now have one myself. So now we're on an equal playing field, Nails. As long as you wear that mask, so will I. You want me to take this mask off? Not a problem.... all you have to do is the same".

THE SHOT CUTS OUT AND NAILS STANDS LOOKING AT THE BLANK SCREEN.

Cole: "What is the driving force behind this? Samaiel now has a mask of his own".

HTM: "And he has successfully entered the mind of Nails..... whatcha gonna do, Nails".

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

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "LOSE YOURSELF" BY EMINEM COMES ON AND CARNEY HEADS OUT TO THE RING TO A FAVORABLE CHEER.

Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime live on FOX and here comes Carney for what should be a very interesting match"!

HTM: "Carney has some sort of phobia when it comes to masks".

Cole: "I wouldn't say that, but he has had a lot of problems with his one time tag team partner, Turrican, who just happens to wear a mask".

A CIRCUS TUNE IS HEARD BUT QUICKLY CHANGES TO A VERY DEMONIC ONE AND DOINK THE CLOWN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK.

HTM: "Are we really gonna have Doink the Clown in action tonight"?

Cole: "Yes we are and in case you missed it, Doink actually attacked Carney on Uprising prior to TWF's Main Event before leaving the ring with Turrican and that is what has led to this match".

Carney vs. Doink the Clown

Right when Doink got into the ring, he offered to shake the hand of Carney before using some sort of flower that was attached to his ring gear to squirt water in his face. But this set Carney off and after a kick to the lower abdomen, he popped the clown with 3 right hands. Carney then whipped him to the ropes but Doink ducked a clothesline before using an atomic drop followed by a stiff clothesline. Doink missed with an elbow drop and Carney got up, running the ropes. After avoiding a backhand, Carney used a flying clothesline takedown to put Doink on the mat. But before he could do anything else, Turrican hit the ring and attacked him and referee Charles Robinson threw the match out.

Cole: "And here's Turrican, taking it to Carney"!

HTM: "And the clown is joining him"!

DOINK AND TURRICAN WORKED CARNEY OVER AND FINALLY, THE TWO MEN THREW CARNEY OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR. "HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER" BY DAFT PUNK STARTS TO PLAY AND TURRICAN AND DOINK ARE DOING SOME STRANGE DANCE TOGETHER.

HTM: "This is terrific.... look at these two guys get down! I'm tempted to go in there, Michael"!

Cole: "Please don't".

SUDDENLY, THE MUSIC STOPPED AND TURRICAN HELD ONE FINGER UP AS IF TO SAY "WAIT A MINUTE". HE THEN REACHED FOR HIS MASK AND STARTED TO SLOWLY REMOVE IT.

Cole: "What is he doing"?

THE MASK CAME OFF AND FANS WERE STUNNED TO SEE WHO IT WAS.

HTM: "Look at this! We haven't seen him forever"!

IT WAS SHANE THOMPSON!

Cole: "It's Shane Thompson! I can't believe it and look at Carney... he can't either"!

STILL LYING ON THE FLOOR OUTSIDE THE RING, CARNEY HAD A SHOCKED LOOK ON HIS FACE.

HTM: "Turrican is...... Shane Thompson"?

Cole: "And it's been him all along! What the hell is going on here"?!

THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE CHAOS WOLF IS IN THE OFFICE OF SHANE McMAHON.

Shane McMahon: "Look, I know what Kevin Thorn did to Gina Carano earlier wasn't cool, but are you sure you want this? I'm pretty sure I have a someone to accept your challenge".

Chaos Wolf: "Yes, I want the Lights Out match temporarily postponed and quite frankly, I don't care who accepts it. I have a couple of buddies..... and I will bring them to WrestleMania to face Thorn and the rest of those fanged freaks"!

Shane McMahon: "Okay..... I'll make the match..... a six man tag for WrestleMania. I just hope these friends you speak of know what they're in for".

WOLF CHUCKLES AND LEAVES THE OFFICE.

BACK IN THE RING, "THE TIME IS NOW" IS PLAYING AND JOHN CENA IS IN THE RING HOLDING A MICROPHONE. HE HAS BEEN WELCOMED TO A MIXED REACTION AND IS WEARING A "12 ROUNDS" T-SHIRT AND HIS "HUSTLE. LOYALTY. RESPECT" HAT.

John Cena: "I didn't come out here tonight to waste a whole lot of your time, I just came out to address one thing..... Hulk Hogan. Ya see, ever since I accepted Hogan's challenge at Main Event, I've heard the rumors on the internet, I've heard all the naysayers. Oh, Hogan just needs a big payday to help with his divorce or Cena just wants an easy match with a guy pushing sixty. Or, here's my favorite. It's all so random, it has no place at WrestleMania. First off, I talked to Hulk, at length actually, and he doesn't want this match to help with his divorce. And honestly, I'm ready for the fight of my life, regardless of his age, I know he's gonna come out guns blazin'. And this being random? There doesn't need to be a reason! It's Hulk Hogan versus John Cena, damnit!

THE CROWD POPS

There's no bad blood between Hogan and I and there doesn't need to be. I am quite honored he wants to face me at WrestleMania and even though he's seen his better days, I know damn well, that one time, he can be as good as he ever was.

CENA LOOKS DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA AND IT APPEARS THAT TEARS ARE FORMING IN BOTH EYES.

I can't think of anyone I'd rather face at the biggest show of the year. I fell in love with this business because of the red and yellow, because of the sayin' my prayers and eatin' my vitamins! It's what made this industry so great and ya know what.... if not for Hulk Hogan, I might not be standing in this ring right now. So to all the naysayers.... to all the guys sitting behind a computer making jokes.... I promise you one thing. At WrestleMania ten..... John Cena versus the Immortal Hulk Hogan is gonna tear the house down in Pasadena! Hulk...... you have my word on that".

CENA CALMLY SETS THE MIC DOWN AS "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYS AGAIN AND HE LEAVES THE RING.

Cole: "Very simple and straight to the point from John Cena. He plans on having the match of his life at WrestleMania with the legendary Hulk Hogan but speaking of legends, look at this, partner".

CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA PICK UP A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN WILLIAM REGAL AND GREG VALENTINE.

BACKSTAGE......

William Regal: "Now don't expect me to besmirch the tradition of this business, Greg, I'm not going to do that. But I have heard people compare the two of us in the past.... can you believe that"?

Greg Valentine: "I........

Regal: "Think it's absurd.... I do to. I'll see you in the ring...... Hammer".

REGAL WALKS OFF AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

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

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, LENA YADA IS IN THE BACK ALONG WITH JOE COREY.

Lena Yada: "Joe Corey, we found out at TWF's Main Event that Shane McMahon lifted his own ban against you from competing at this year's WrestleMania and you will now face The Undertaker, a man you have not only put out of action with a backstage attack, but a man you pushed off the stage inside a casket. Yet, he's still coming for you".

Joe Corey: "Oh isn't that just a great story? My boy Tito's gonna soften him up tonight and by the time I'm able to pick up the pieces at WrestleMania, The Undertaker will wish he never insisted on facing me. See, I'm not scared of him, not one bit. Undertaker...... you will regret your decision".

William Regal vs. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine

Valentine got a lot of the Anaheim crowd behind him during this match. As one of the participants in the upcoming legends battle royale at WrestleMania, he was trying to place himself as one of the favorites in that match. He seemed to be in decent physical condition, but not on the level of Regal. Valentine tried to use some basic holds to take Regal down but Regal was able to counter most of them. The Hammer came back with two hard knifedge chops but Regal used a thumb to the eye to slow him down. From there, he ran the ropes and blasted Valentine with a running knee to the head and that led to a win for Regal.

Match Time: 4:33

Cole: "A valiant effort by one of the all time greats but William Regal was a bit too much for The Hammer on this night".

HTM: "Wait a minute, what's Regal doing"?

AFTER THE MATCH, REGAL SEEMED LIKE HE WANTED TO DELIVER MORE PUNISHMENT AS HE STOOD WITH HIS HANDS UP, WAITING FOR VALENTINE TO GET TO HIS FEET. AT THAT MOMENT, HONKY TONK MAN LEFT HIS CHAIR AT THE BROADCAST TABLE AND GOT INTO THE RING AND REGAL GOT OUT. BUT JUST THEN, HONKY TONK MAN TURNED TO VALENTINE AND DELIVERED THE "SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL" NECKBREAKER. THE CROWD BOOED AS HONKY GOT UP AND DID HIS BEST ELVIS HIP SHAKE.

Cole: "What the hell was that?! C'mon, partner, what'd you do that for"?

HONKY TONK MAN GRABS HIS HEADSET AND TAKES A SEAT.

HTM: "Ya like that"?!

Cole: "That was your one time tag team partner"!

HTM: "You think I don't know that?! But at WrestleMania, it's every man for himself, Cole"!

Cole: "Well, fans, if you want to know exactly who will compete in the legends battle royale at WrestleMania, the participants have been announced over on TWF.com, so go check it out"!

BACKSTAGE.....

IN THE BACK, JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES INTO THE DRESSING ROOM OF CM PUNK, WHERE HE IS GETTING READY.

Jordan Rockwell: "All you have to do is beat Edge tonight, and you'll be part of the match..... guest referee".

CM Punk: "Yeah man, and I know what we've been talking about, but I have to let you know that if I am the referee, I'm gonna call it right down the middle".

Rockwell (laughs a little): "Okay...... but don't forget what we talked about. I know you didn't win the tournament for a shot at the Intercontinental title.... but I did specifically ask for you to be in it".

ROCKWELL TURNS TO LEAVE THE ROOM AND PUNK JUST LOOKS ON.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND "BREAK STUFF" BY LIMP BIZKIT HITS, BRINGING TITO ORTIZ OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS.

Cole: "CM Punk will take on Edge coming up right after this match between Tito Ortiz and The Undertaker"!

HTM: "Well you heard what Joe Corey had to say..... Ortiz is out here to do nothing more than soften The Undertaker up"!

Cole: "Do you really think it'll be that easy?! Let's not forget that Tito Ortiz helped push The Undertaker off the stage in that casket"!

THE FANS CHEER AS THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT AND A LOUD GONG IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER. THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY AND HE COMES OUT, VERY SLOWLY MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING.

HTM: "Wow, it just got really cold in here".

Cole: "It's all part of the mystique of the deadman, partner, I feel it too, but I can only imagine that it's freezing if you're Tito Ortiz".

Tito Ortiz vs. The Undertaker

The bell sounded and both men put their hands up, ready to fight. They circled each other when Ortiz went for a takedown, getting both of The Undertaker's legs and impressively getting him to the mat. From there, Ortiz fired down punches as Taker did his best to defend them but suddenly, he got him in position for the Hell's Gate but before he could lock it in, Ortiz slipped out. He then delivered a spin kick to the gut when Taker got up before running the ropes. Undertaker missed with a clothesline but when he came back off the other side, taker grabbed him by the throat. Ortiz saw the chokeslam coming and he swatted Undertaker's arm away before delivering a perfect belly to belly suplex. He then locked in a kneebar and Undertaker was in a great deal of pain but he was able to grab the bottom rope to earn a break. Ortiz pulled him up and tried to whip him to the corner but Undertaker reversed it and sent him into the corner, exploding into him with a clothesline. He then ran the ropes on the other side of the ring before kicking him in the face. Undertaker was back into it and he grabbed Ortiz and locked in a standing dragon sleeper. Ortiz was able to free himself with 3 punches to the rib cage. He then hit the ropes but fell into the deadman's clutches again and this time, Taker delivered the chokeslam. The crowd came to their feet as The Undertaker made his famous throat-slash gesture before hoisting Ortiz up and delivering the Tombstone, crossing his arms over his chest and getting the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:20

Cole: "That's it.... The Undertaker has put Tito Ortiz away"!

HTM: "Ortiz gave him all he wanted though and he may've succeeded in softening him up"!

Cole: "Oh look at this.... we might find out right now"!

JOE COREY CAME RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK BUT JUST AS HE GOT INTO THE RING, UNDERTAKER's PERIPHERAL VISION ALLOWED HIM TO TURN AND SEE 'THE SHOW'. COREY FELL TO HIS SEAT AND ROLLED OUT OF THE RING, LOOKING LIKE HE'D SEEN A GHOST. THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC THEN PLAYED AND HE GAVE COREY THE SAME THROAT SLASHING MOTION.

Cole: "Oh boy.... I thought I heard Corey wasn't intimidated by the deadman"!

HTM: "He just wasn't ready, that's all"!

Cole: "Yeah, he wasn't ready because Undertaker didn't have his back turned! You said he'd regret his decision, Corey, you'll have a chance to prove it"!

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

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

PRIMETIME RETURNS WITH LENA YADA IN THE BACK WITH SHAWN MICHAELS.

Lena Yada: "Shawn, on the next edition of Rampage, you will go one on one with GeNext member Cody Rhodes, but the last time we saw you, you were put down with your own move, the superkick, by Jason Oliver".

Shawn Michaels: "Yeah, thanks for reminding me. Oliver, it's clear that you are in the zone and you are very focused on defeating the Heartbreak Kid at WrestleMania. This will be the match that makes your career, right? You've got everything to win. What about me? What about the showtoppa.... the main event?! Me, my career is already made so guess what? I've got nothing to lose. Oh, and I'm sure I'll see ya on Rampage".

MICHAELS WALKS AWAY, CONFIDENT WITH HIS WORDS.

"THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE STARTS UP AND CM PUNK COMES OUT TO A TREMENDOUS ROAR.

Cole: "Shawn Michaels will be on Rampage which will be the last stop before WrestleMania, I can't wait"!

HTM: "And we might have one more thing to add to WrestleMania.... we might have a special guest referee for the Universal title"!

BOOS EMANATE ALL THROUGHOUT THE ARENA WHEN "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND EDGE STEPS OUT WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "Well I think CM Punk wanted to be added to that match as a challenger, but this was the only offer Shane McMahon was willing to give him".

HTM: "The title is on the line here so before all you CM Punk fans out there get too excited.... he can't win it".

Non-Title Match

CM Punk vs. Universal Champion: Edge

The crowd was very into this match as a wide variety of chants broke out throughout it. Punk and Edge exchanged in a very back and forth, seesaw battle. Edge was finally able to gain control by lifting Punk up and dropping him throat first over the top rope. He then went for the spear but Punk saw it coming and leapfrogged him. He then got him up on his shoulders but Edge slipped off. He tried to pull him down with the Edge-O-Matic but Punk very wisely grabbed the top rope to block the attempt and Edge hit the mat. When he got to his feet, Punk struck him with a backhand to either side of the head followed by the Uranagi. Edge was in trouble but he rolled out of the ring and went for his Universal title, trying to leave the ring. But Jordan Rockwell came out and stood atop the stage. Edge went back to the ring where Punk was waiting with a roundhouse kick to the head. Punk went for the cover, but Edge kicked out at 2. Rockwell came over and tried to get referee Mike Chioda's attention before getting up on the apron, yelling at Edge. Edge suddenly grabbed the front of Punk's tights and flung him right into Rockwell. Rockwell fell to the arena floor as Edge rolled up Punk and had a handful of his tights that Chioda never saw which got him the 3 count!

Match Time: 6:15

HTM: "Well, so much for Punk being the special referee"!

Cole: "Edge has defeated CM Punk and now heads into WrestleMania with all sorts of momentum"!

HTM: "Throw in the fact that he beat Punk because of Rockwell's stupidity! He wants a crutch, Michael! The great franchise doesn't believe he can win"!

EDGE WALKED UP THE RAMP, CLUTCHING THE BELT WITH BOTH HANDS AND PUNK AND ROCKWELL GAVE EACH OTHER A LOOK THAT SAID "WHAT HAPPENED"?

OFF AIR............
