Cassell Coliseum

Blacksburg, Virginia

Attendance: 9,210

March 15, 2010

Fans packed the home of the Virginia Tech Hokies for an event people in the area had very much been anticipating. Local advertisements in the Virginia area promised fans a very exciting night of action, which started out on Uprising. Uprising had a full slate- 4 matches, 2 of which in the Femme Fatale title tournament.

Femme Fatale Title Tournament 2nd Round

Maryse vs. Cherry

This was a great way to get the night started. An intense, athletic matchup between 2 divas who would love to call themself the first ever Femme Fatale champion. Maryse didn't seem to have what it took to defeat Cherry late in the match as Cherry took it to her and Maryse looked exhausted. Cherry was able to use a perfect hurricanrana off an irish whip to come within an eyelash of getting the win. But after only getting a 2 and 7/8 count, Cherry ran the ropes and Maryse popped up with a big clothesline. She then grabbed Cherry around the back of the head and put her down with a nasty STO. That got Maryse the 3 count and a spot in the tournament finals.

Drew McIntyre vs. Mike Rapada (invitee)

Rapada, a well traveled independent wrestler, was the opposition for McIntyre on this night, but he provided little competition. McIntyre was clicking on all cylinders and only had one slip up in the match, dropping his head too early after whipping Rapada to the ropes. Rapada was able to get in some offense following this but when he whipped McIntyre to the ropes, he incredibly made the same mistake and McIntyre used the "Future Shock" DDT to put him away. The roll continues for McIntyre.

Femme Fatale Title Tournament 2nd Round

Gail Kim vs. Eve Torres

This match started with a handshake and both women looked very determined, knowing a spot in the finals was on the line. Gail Kim and Eve exchanged in some nice chain wrestling before Eve was able to deliver a hip toss and then a nice dropkick. She pulled Gail to her feet and delivered a big suplex, becoming the aggressor in the match. Eve got Gail up again and used a snap mare but Gail went to her back and used both feet to kick Eve in the face. Gail then got in some quick offense and got 2 near falls. She went to the top rope but before she could come off, Eve fell into the ropes to prevent it, a move almost out of desperation. After getting Gail down, Eve whipped her to the far corner and followed in but Gail was able to jump to the middle turnbuckle and fly off with a reverse cross body, a perfect move that got her the 3 count. After the match, Gail consoled a very upset Eve but now, a spot in the finals against Maryse awaits Gail Kim.

Colt Cabana vs. Taylor Made

The Second City Saints came out and received quite a bit of boos, something CM Punk pointed out. Punk and Cabana were both in a very good mood due to the negative reaction of the crowd and Punk said it was "proof of how fickle you stupid people can be". But as Punk and Cabana continued to try and rile the crowd up, Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made came out from the back, each carrying a pie! Pyromania threw a pie in the face of Punk as Taylor did the same to Cabana! They then knocked them both to the mat with in stereo superkicks! The referee decided to throw the match out right then and there and Pyromania and Taylor Made celebrated with the crowd as a furious CM Punk and Colt Cabana went to the back, after each wiping their faces with a towel.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

RIGHT AS PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR, FOOTAGE FROM THE LAST EPISODE IS SHOWN.

GANGREL IS HOLDING A GOBLET WHICH HE WALKS OVER AND HANDS TO THORN. THORN GRABS IT WITH BOTH HANDS AND CONSUMES SOME OF IT's CONTENTS. BUT SECONDS LATER, "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND WALLY WILLSON STEPS OUT ON THE STAGE.

HTM: "What the hell is this...... he's not invited"!

Wally Willson: "Thorn..... with all due respect to whatever this is...... you have a problem on your hands. You see, this company has finally decided to award Nails with something he's never had before....... a shot at the Universal title"!

Hudson: "Oh my gosh"!

Willson: "And whatever your traditions are or this darkness you speak of.......... Nails will be ready for all of it"!

WILLSON BEGINS TO LAUGH AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF AN IRATE THORN, WHOSE FACE IS ILLUMINATED BY THE BURNING TRASH CAN.

THE SHOT THEN OPENS UP LIVE INSIDE THE CASSELL COLISEUM WHEN "IT's TIME" COMES ON AND GREGORY HELMS COMES OUT ALONG WITH TALIA TO MOSTLY BOOS. BOOS FOR HELMS, BUT TALIA RECEIVES MANY WHISTLES FROM THE AWESTRUCK MALE FANS.

Scott Hudson: "Thank you for joining us here for TWF PrimeTime on FOX and as we roll on to the Royal Rumble, we have a tremendous show on tap tonight, Honky Tonk Man".

Honky Tonk Man: "Without a doubt. Not only will we have two title matches tonight, but Nails has demanded.... yes, demanded to run some sort of gauntlet of The Reqiuem"!

"PRESSURE" BY PARAMORE STARTS UP, BRINGING OUT ALBA RIOS TO A GOOD POP. WITH HER IS CARNEY.

Hudson: "The Intercontinental and Tag Team titles will be on the line in addition to that gauntlet match but first, we've got some divas action and it looks like Alba Rios has a man of her own to watch over her tonight".

HTM: "Well this new girl, Alba, seems to have some sort of an issue with the beautiful Talia, but she is already 0-1 against her".

Hudson: "I talked to Alba earlier today and she said she is just here to compete. She doesn't have anything against Talia personally, but she did say she aspires to be much more than her in the ring".

HTM: "Like I said, she's already 0-1 against her".

Hudson: "That was a tag team match..... I would expect to see Talia actually have to do something if she wants to make it two in a row tonight".

Talia w/ Gregory Helms vs. Alba Rios w/ Carney

As the match started, Talia seemed to be trying to either get some of the fans on her side or distract Alba as she went to each side of the ring, showing off her rear end. Helms didn't seem to be too thrilled with this though and as he asked Talia what she was doing, Alba came from behind, grabbing her by the hair and she rammed her face first into the top turnbuckle. Talia immediately grabbed her nose as Alba hooked her under her arm and threw her across the ring with a hip toss. Alba then ran the ropes and delivered a quick legdrop, making the cover, but Talia pushed her off at 2. Alba got up and pulled Talia to her feet before going for an irish whip to the corner but Talia reversed it and caught her with a running back elbow. Rios felt the sting of the impact as Talia loaded her up and delivered a nice suplex. Talia made sure to let the crowd know how effective the move was and just to make sure things were okay between the two of them, she went over and gave Helms a kiss. She then went back to Rios, pulling her up by the hair before belting her with multiple kicks to the body. That led to a second vertical suplex and Talia was in total control. She picked Alba up and again threw her into the corner. Grabbing the top ring rope with both hands, Talia then used her right boot, extending her leg to choke Rios with it. Referee Marty Elias reached a count of 4 before she let go of the hold. Talia then delivered a swift kick to the back of a seated Rios before going to the turnbuckle and playing to the crowd some more. Talia got off and measured Rios, running at her with a kick. But Alba caught her foot and was able to stand up while holding it. Talia was begging her off but Rios took her down with a footsweep before pulling her to the corner by her leg. She then went outside the ring but Talia was able to get free and get up. This allowed her to pull Elias away and Helms came over and shoved Rios from behind! But that drew Carney over and he ran across the guardrail of the ringside barricade before flying onto Helms! The crowd loved it as Rios got to the apron. But as she did, Talia grabbed her by the hair, trying to drag her back into the ring. Alba was able to counter with a hangman over the top rope and as Talia fell back to the mat, she went to the top rope. Rios then came off with an awesome shooting star press, slamming onto Talia as Elias got down to issue the 1..........2...............3!

Match Time: 8:10

Hudson: "Wow...... where have you ever seen that"?!

HTM: "Yeah, yeah, yeah...... they're now one and one, Hudson".

Hudson: "Where have you ever seen a female competitor hit a shooting star press?! That was amazing"!

"PRESSURE" PLAYED AGAIN WHILE RIOS AND CARNEY CELEBRATED IN THE RING AS THE CROWD CHEERED. HELMS AND TALIA RETREATED AFTER THE DEFEAT.

HTM: "Let me just tell you this, if I had to pick, I...........

Hudson: "But that means nothing....... Alba Rios said she came to the TWF to compete and that is exactly what she is doing!

A PROMO GRAPHIC IS DISPLAYED FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO AND THE FACES OF MARK HENRY, JOHN CENA, SHANE THOMPSON AND JOHN MORRISON.

Hudson: "Up next, Mark Henry defends the Intercontinental title in a fatal four way match"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A TRAILER FOR "BOUNTY HUNTER" STARRING JENNIFER ANISTON AND GERARD BUTLER.

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

"The Show" Joe Corey and PJ Cash are shown getting ready in their locker room.

Joe Corey: "Okay PJ, we both know what is being said around here, so I am just going to say it. So far, we have sucked as a tag team. We both know that we should be the tag team champions already, but something went wrong and it didn't happen. Then last week, we got distracted again, and it cost us another win. Tonight that changes, because we need to prove to the world that this union is going to dominate for years to come".

PJ Cash: I'm with you man, I am so pissed that bitch Katie Lea cost us the titles. And I take full responsibility for last week and that will never happen again".

Corey: "And I know that. I mean it's not secret man, the Rumble is almost here, and both of us want that title shot. You are hungry as hell, and I want that title. I've main evented WrestleMania before, and I want that feeling back. So let's go out there tonight and put this entire locker room on notice. The team of Corey and Cash is making a new start, and from now on, we are going to be a force to be feared in the TWF".

Cash: "Let's do it man, I'm ready".

Corey and Cash fist pound and head out of the locker room.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, SHANE THOMPSON AND JOHN MORRISON ARE IN THE RING WHEN "THE TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA HEADS OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD.

Hudson: "We welcome you back to PrimeTime and we are set for the fatal four way match for the Intercontinental title and this match is loaded with big name superstars".

HTM: "I just want to know why Mark Henry has to defend his title in this kind of match. He doesn't even have to get pinned to lose it"!

Hudson: "Because that's what the championship committee decided for him, that's why".

"SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA COMES ON AND MARK HENRY COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

HTM: "It's a huge disadvantage for Henry but ya know what? I'd still consider him the favorite"!

Hudson: "Mark Henry has been the champion since the fourth of July last year but this is definitely the biggest challenge he's faced...... three men all capable of holding the gold".

Fatal 4 Way/TWF Intercontinental Title Match

Shane Thompson vs. John Cena vs. John Morrison vs. (c) Mark Henry

After handing the belt over to referee Mike Chioda, Henry waved all 3 of his challengers on, daring them to come at him. Instead, Cena met Thompson head on and the bitter rivals traded shots before Thompson got a finger in his eye, slowing him down. Morrison ran in at Henry and ducked a clothesline before jumping onto the ring ropes and then connecting with a springboard roundhouse kick that he calls the 'Flying Chuck'. He hit Henry right between the eyes but couldn't take him off his feet. Morrison for some reason tried to pick Henry up but he didn't get far before he was clubbed across the back. Henry then picked Morrison up in a bearhug, a move very familiar to Morrison. Morrison screamed in pain as Henry squeezed with all his power. But Thompson came from behind, kicking Henry in the back of the legs and getting him to release Morrison. Henry turned and threw a clothesline that Thompson avoided before he and Cena actually teamed up to put Henry down with a double suplex. Henry rolled under the bottom rope and out of the ring as the 3 challengers went at it on the inside. Morrison got up and rocked Thompson with some hard forearm shots before sending him into the corner. As Thompson came out, Cena slammed into him with a flying shoulderblock. Cena then turned and had Morrison right in his face. As the fans cheered and chanted, Cena and Morrison traded right hands. Morrison was able to take Cena down with a neckbreaker very similar to Honky Tonk Man's "Shake, Rattle and Roll" but when he ran the ropes, Cena popped up, unfazed and got Morrison onto his shoulders, delivering the "F-U". Cena got into the cover and got 1................2.............., before Thompson pulled him off by the foot. Cena and Thompson then went at it again with Cena being able to get the best of him, knocking him into the corner with right hands before dropping him with his spinning sideslam. Cena could sense something and Henry was back in the ring. Cena was able to block a right hand but Henry used his left to just club him to the mat. He then delivered a huge splash and landed right on Cena, getting 1.............2.................., but Cena got a shoulder up. Henry couldn't believe it but as he picked Cena up, Thompson came in and superkicked him in the right temple! The champion crumpled to the mat as Thompson showboated after the move. Cena tried to run at Thompson, but Thompson was prepared for it, pulling the top rope down with a lowbridge to send him flying to the arena floor. But as Thompson shouted something at Cena, Morrison came from behind with a rollup and was able to put Thompson's shoulders down for a count of 3 to once again become Intercontinental champion!

Match Time: 11:21

Hudson: "Oh, did he....... he did..... Morrison got the three count and is the new Intercontinental champion"!

OUTSIDE THE RING, HENRY WAS SEETHING AS HE WATCHED MORRISON HOLD UP THE TITLE WHILE "AIN'T NO MAKE BELIEVE" PLAYED.

HTM: "And just like I said, Mark Henry has lost the title without being pinned".

Hudson: "You also said he was the favorite despite the odds. He had every bit the chance that the other three did but tonight was Morrison's night and he has regained the title that he lost to Henry back at MeltDown"!

BACKSTAGE AREA........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK PICK UP A CHAOTIC SCENE AS SYLVESTER TERKAY AND BLADE ARE IN A BIG BRAWL. OFFICIALS AND SEVERAL REFEREES HAVE HIT THE SCENE TO PULL THE TWO ANGRY MEN APART.

IN THE RING, THE HIGHLANDERS ARE SHOWN AWAITING THEIR COMPETITION.

"AMAZING" BY KANYE WEST STARTS UP AND THE TEAM OF JOE COREY AND PJ CASH COMES UP TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Hudson: "We've got tag team action coming up here but it looks like the officials in the back there have their hands full with those two. At least we've got a referee for this match".

HTM: "On the last PrimeTime, we saw Blade pick up a win over Terkay..... obviously there is some bad blood there now".

Hudson: "Well let's shift gears here and talk about this team of Joe Corey and PJ Cash, serious underachievers even by their own admission according to the conversation they had earlier".

HTM: "Look, Hudson. First of all, you know nothing about tag team wrestling or being in that ring. These two will make a superb tag team, they just have to find what it is that makes them great together".

Hudson: "Hmmm, you gonna have that same assessment if they lose to the Highlanders here"?

The Highlanders vs. "The Show" Joe Corey and PJ Cash

As the bell sounded, Cash and Corey seemed to have a specific gameplan. Cash started the match off against Robbie McCallister but immediately asked for him to make the tag to Rory. Robbie asked the crowd and they told him to tag out but when he turned to do so, Cash ripped him to the mat by his hair. He then ran over and smashed Rory with a forearm to the face, knocking him to the floor before he was all over Robbie. After a snap suplex, Cash positioned himself and kicked Robbie right in the face as he was on all fours. Corey tagged into the match and kept the offense coming, hitting Robbie with some very stiff punches and Robbie looked like he didn't even know what had hit him. Following a big spinebuster, Corey did his best to distract referee Mike Enos while Cash ran on the outside of the ring and took out Rory again, even though he hadn't fully recovered from the first cheap shot. Corey pulled Robbie up and set him on the top turnbuckle before slapping the hand of Cash. Cash was ready to deliver the "Cash Register" from the top rope but Robbie fought out of it and took Cash to the mat with a wicked bulldog. Both men were down and looking to make the tag. Rory, who hadn't even officially been in the match, was trying to get to his corner. He finally got their, grabbing the tag rope as Robbie reached out and touched his hand. Rory came in and ran Cash over with a clothesline before pulling Cash up and sending him into the corner. He ran in with another clothesline before taking a swipe at Corey. But when he ran into the corner a second time, Cash was waiting with a big back elbow. That led to a vicious savate kick from Cash. He locked Rory in a dragon sleeper and pulled back on it hard. Robbie came into the ring but Corey was in as well and after a kick to the abdomen, he put him down with the "Showstopper". Rory now had no way out and quickly tapped against the right arm of Cash, signaling he was done.

Match Time: 6:14

Hudson: "And that's it..... the team of PJ Cash and Joe Corey have a mark in the win column as a tag team"!

HTM: "A very bold mark..... bold for extra impressive... go on, say it, Hudson! That was extra impressive..... use one of your stupid lines or something"!

"AMAZING" PLAYED AGAIN AS COREY AND CASH ALMOST SEEMED HAPPY TO TAKE IN THE BOOS.

Hudson: "What I will say is this. I have it on very good authority that both of these men will compete in the thirty man Royal Rumble match and we will announce all fifteen of the participants from PrimeTime later in this broadcast"!

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

A COMMERCIAL PEPSI AND MOUNTAIN DEW THROWBACK IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "AMERICAN IDOL".

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

When PrimeTime returns, the fans cheer as Jordan Rockwell is shown walking around backstage. He says hello to some random people and then stops to speak with Carney and Evan Bourne when all of a sudden, Wally Willson and Nails can be seen. Everyone turns to watch what is going on as Rockwell and Nails get face to face in a stare down.

Several TWF offcials come up knowing the long and violent history between Rockwell and Nails but after several tense moments, Rockwell steps back and actually extends his hand to Nails.

Nails hesitates but reaches out and puts his hand in Rockwell's and the two shake hands and with no words said, Rockwell steps aside as Willson and Nails walk by.

Evan Bourne: "What was that about"?

Carney: "Mutual respect".

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" IS HEARD AND CHRIS JERICHO COMES OUT ALONG WITH THE MOUNTIE. CHAVO GUERRERO IS SHOWN AGGRESSIVELY PACING IN THE RING.

Hudson: "We are back live on PrimeTime and here comes Chris Jericho with his personal goon, The Mountie".

HTM: "Goon? Where'd ya get that one, Hudson? A goon"?

Hudson: "Well he is a goon..... and he's got a shock stick out here! What's that about"?

HTM: "The term is cattle prod and I would love to see you go up to him and call him a goon".

Hudson: "Yeah, I suppose that would be against the law in Canada too! Jericho is scheduled to face Chavo Guerrero here but we have breaking news just announced! The Mountie, who put The Undertaker out of action by using that cattle prod against his throat at War in the Winter...... well now he gets to pay for it! At the Royal Rumble, The Mountie will go one on one with the deadman himself"!

HTM: "What?! The Mountie isn't here to wrestle! He's.... he's......

Hudson: "A goon"!

Chris Jericho vs. Chavo Guerrero

As the match started, Jericho went up and slapped Chavo across the face and tried to berate him but Chavo responded with some overhand right hands before whipping him to the ropes and driving a fist into his midsection. Chavo then ran the ropes but Jericho flew at him with a back elbow that connected. After a couple kicks to the exposed rib cage, Jericho pulled Chavo and sent him to the ropes before slamming into him with a clothesline. Jericho then put one foot on the chest of Chavo, looking to embarrass him but Chavo pushed him off. Jericho ran back at him but Chavo used a drop toehold before grabbing Jericho in a side headlock. Jericho was able to stand up and put Chavo down with a backdrop suplex, dumping him right on the back of the head. Jericho went over to referee Charles Robinson and seemed to be complaining about something. As this was going on, Chavo used the ring ropes to help pull himself up when The Mountie used the cattle prod, pressing it up against Chavo's chest and Chavo fell back, yelling in pain. Robinson saw Chavo, took a look at the Mountie and asked for the bell.

Match Time: 4:08

HTM: "What happened"?

Hudson: "I think Robinson disqualified Jericho! Good for him"!

Robinson had indeed disqualified Jericho, awarding the match to Chavo, who looked like anything but a winner.

HTM: "He didn't see anything! He can't do that"!

Hudson: "He can see Chavo twitching on the mat, I'll tell ya that! And all I know is that at the Royal Rumble, The Mountie will be in there with the most intimidating superstar in the history of this industry and that shock stick will do him no good"!

JERICHO AND THE MOUNTIE LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS, BOTH SMILING, AS ROBINSON CHECKED ON CHAVO.

BACKSTAGE...... DRESSING ROOM......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW CHAOS WOLF IN HIS DRESSING ROOM TAPING HIS WRISTS WHEN DAMION WEST COMES IN.

Damion West: "Look, Wolf, I'm not here to apologize, but regardless of what I think of you, we have a chance to become TWF Tag Team champions tonight and I need...... I need this. So let's put any hard feelings aside..... at least for tonight".

Chaos Wolf: "You're the one who started pointin' fingers..... not me. I'll be ready, see ya in the ring".

WOLF WALKS PAST WEST, LEAVING THE ROOM.

Damion West (to himself): "I know what I saw".

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" BY WITHIN TEMPTATION COMES ON AND OUT COMES BLADE. HE IS MET BY BOOS FROM THE CROWD.

Hudson: "Fans that tag team title match is coming up in a matter of minutes and you have to ask yourself what kind of a team Chaos Wolf and Damion West are gonna make".

HTM: "Especially when you consider they are facing one of the better tag teams of this era, the U.N.".

Hudson: "On the last PrimeTime, Blade got a massive victory when he defeated Sylvester Terkay and tonight, he can add an even bigger win to his resume".

HTM: "And earlier tonight, we saw he and Terkay go at it in the backstage area, a fight I didn't think anyone would be able to stop".

"SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO PLAYS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A TREMENDOUS POP FROM THE CROWD.

Hudson: "As always, wherever the TWF goes, Jordan Rockwell is one of it's most popular competitors and he looks ready tonight".

HTM: "He better be, because Blade is a hungry young superstar ready to climb the ladder here on PrimeTime".

Hudson: "Rockwell was one of the first men to throw his name into the hat for the Royal Rumble and as stated earlier, we will be announcing the names of all fifteen superstars who will compete in that match from the PrimeTime division".

Blade vs. Jordan Rockwell

Just as Rockwell got into the ring, Blade attacked him, pounding on him with heavy forearms to the back and the back of the head. After a kick right to the mush, Blade pulled Rockwell up and went for an irish whip. But the Franchise reversed it and powerslammed Blade before getting up, firing up the crowd. Rockwell waited for Blade to get up, running him over with a clothesline when he did. He then tried to slap on the STF but Blade quickly crawled to the ropes. Referee Mike Enos forced Rockwell to give Blade some room but Blade just rolled to his back and used an up kick to strike Rockwell in the mouth again. After getting to his feet, he picked Rockwell up and drove him into the mat with a spinebuster. Blade made the cover and got a 2 count but Rockwell still had plenty of fight in him. Blade pulled him up and tossed him into the corner, following up with 2 kicks to the body. He then tried to pull Rockwell into a short clothesline but Rockwell ducked and at the same time, latched onto the waist of Blade, throwing him over his head with a release German suplex! The crowd came to it's feet as Rockwell asked them to get up. Blade, slow to recover, got to his feet, holding the back of his head. He walked right into the "Extreme Measures" and Rockwell went into the cover, getting the 1...............2...............3!

Match Time: 4:02

Hudson: "What a win for Rockwell and Honky Tonk Man, we may be looking at the favorite in the Royal Rumble match"!

HTM: "It's all the luck of the draw! I'd love to see him draw number one and hang in there until the end"!

"SAVE ME" PLAYED AS ROCKWELL CELEBRATED THE WIN BUT JUST THEN, SYLVESTER TERKAY CAME OUT FROM THE BACK.

Hudson: "Wait a minute, here comes Terkay"!

TERKAY GOT INTO THE RING AND PULLED BLADE UP, LAUNCHING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE. HE THEN SET HIS SIGHTS ON ROCKWELL. ROCKWELL WASN'T EVEN AWARE HE WAS IN THE RING, BUT AS HE CAME DOWN FROM THE TURNBUCKLE HE WAS CELEBRATING ON, HE TURNED AROUND AND WAS DROPPED WITH A VIOLENT HEART PUNCH.

HTM: "Heart Punch! Terkay just sent a message to all twenty nine other men in the Royal Rumble"!

Hudson: "We know that the Manbear was the only man to have to qualify for the Rumble, but that makes him battle tested and he could use that Heart Punch to mow down the field in Albany"!

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

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

Hudson: "Some huge names from PrimeTime, Honky Tonk Man, that is gonna be one heck of a Royal Rumble field".

HTM: "It is definitely gonna be that, the only thing that would make it better is if I were in it".

Hudson: "The worst thing is, I know you truly believe that. But folks, it wasn't long ago when this man, Chaos Wolf was accused of some vicious backstage attacks and his accuser is the man he will be teaming up with tonight in an attempt to win the tag team titles".

HTM: "Only in the TWF would that happen, but let's not forget that whoever is responsible for those attacks still hasn't come forward".

AN ENGINE REVS UP VERY LOUDLY BEFORE "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST COMES ON. DAMION WEST COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER, LOUDER THAN THE ONE HIS PARTNER RECEIVED.

Hudson: "Well both of these men have had honorable TWF careers and I have no reason to doubt the validity of their stories".

HTM: "Honorable? You call Chaos Wolf honorable? And Damion West..... we don't even need to get into his past history. All I know is these two had a meeting earlier in the night and icy was the best way I could describe that. There is no way these two can defeat The United Nations tonight"!

KATIE LEA LEADS OUT PAUL BURCHILL AND RENE DUPREE WHEN THE UNITED NATIONS' THEME COMES ON. BURCHILL AND DUPREE EACH HAVE THEIR TITLE STRAPPED TO THEIR WAISTS.

Hudson: "Hard to disagree there. Although the United Nations have been two seperate teams, they have held the titles in their camp for more than a year and a half...... unbelievable".

HTM: "I expect to see a walk in the park here for the U.N., West and Wolf are already arguing about something".

TWF Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Chaos Wolf and Damion West vs. The United Nations w/ Katie Lea

Wolf and West seemed to be in a disagreement over who should start the match and Burchill used it as an opportunity to attack West from behind before ramming him into the top turnbuckle. After a big scoop slam, Burchill took West and pushed him into his corner. He then distracted referee Scott Armstrong as Dupree used the tag rope to choke West. Burchill then charged towards the corner, smashing West before tagging in Dupree. Dupree came in and he and Burchill delivered a big double suplex. Dupree then got up and went right into the 'French Tickler' dance but Wolf came into the ring and drilled Dupree with a shot to the side of the head. He then knocked Burchill off the apron with a right hand. Armstrong forced Wolf back to his corner but the match had completely changed and the cheering crowd knew it. West got to his feet and pulled Dupree right into a swinging neckbreaker. He then hit the ropes but Wolf slapped his shoulder to tag himself into the match. Wolf ran right into Dupree with a clothesline but West then stopped him, asking what he was doing. Dupree was able to get to the corner and make the tag before grabbing Wolf from behind and delivering a backdrop suplex. To this point, the challengers were their own worst enemies. Burchill stomped away at Wolf and started to work on his lower back, slowing the pace of the match way down. He then got Wolf up and delivered a gutwrench suplex. Dupree tagged back into the match and measured Wolf. When Wolf got up, Dupree went for the Cobra Clutch but before he could get it fully locked on, Wolf countered by backing into the corner. He then put Dupree down with a DDT. Both men were down but Wolf slowly pushed himself toward the outstretched hand of West. He slapped it and in came West. Burchill tried to come in but West dropped him with the "Head on Collision"! Burchill rolled out of the ring, holding his jaw as West measured Dupree for the same thing. Dupree got up and West threw the superkick but Dupree ducked. He then grabbed West from behind and tried to german suplex him but West countered with a back elbow, catching the French Phenom right in the mouth. West then fell back and made a tag to Wolf who came in and got Dupree up, delivering the "Chaos Driver"! The fans came to their feet and counted in unison along with Armstrong, 1.............2..............3!

Match Time: 5:54

Hudson: "New champs...... new champs"!

HTM: "I don't believe this"!

KATIE LEA LOOKED BESIDE HERSELF AS THE BELTS WERE HANDED TO WEST AND WOLF.

Hudson: "These two may still have some issues, but those titles might be able to make it all go away"!

HTM: "Over a year and a half with the titles and it ends at the hands..... of these two"?

"REMEMBER THE NAME" CONTINUED TO RESONATE THROUGH THE ARENA AS WEST AND WOLF ABSORBED THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD.

BACKSTAGE.........

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS SHOWN WITH NAILS AND WALLY WILLSON.

Lena Yada: "Nails, up next, you have challenged The Requiem to a gauntlet match. What kind of intentions do you have"?

Wally Willson: "Intentions? The track record of Nails speaks for itself, so I think that's an easy answer. Kevin Thorn, you call yourself a man of the darkness? Well, prepare to go to the black hole, because that's where you're headed at the Royal Rumble. Nails has proven he's not just the Hardcore Icon..... he's also proven he can wrestle, which nobody thought he could do and now..... at the Royal Rumble..... Kevin Thorn will be the man to have it all culminate around him! A lifetime of pain and agony..... a career full of unfinished business...... Thorn, at the Rumble, Nails takes what's been coming to him for damn near a decade"!

WILLSON WALKS OFF AS LENA HOLDS THE MIC UP TO THE HOCKEY MASK OF NAILS.

Lena Yada: "Nails, your thoughts"?

NAILS WALKS AWAY, FOLLOWING WILLSON BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

"MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON AND DRUSUS IS OUT FROM THE BACK.

Hudson: "We just heard from Nails and it's clear he's ready for the Royal Rumble, but I'm not sure I understand the idea for a gauntlet match".

HTM: "It looks like he'll have to face Drusus first and if he can get by him, which is a big if, he's gotta go through two other men still".

"LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND NAILS COMES OUT ALONG WITH WALLY WILLSON.

Hudson: "I don't think I'd want to be Drusus right now. He's...... oh look out"!

FROM BEHIND, THE REST OF THE REQUIEM COMES OUT AND ATTACKS NAILS. KEVIN THORN HITS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE WALKING STICK AS ARIEL SLAPS WILLSON ACROSS THE FACE. DRUSUS LEAVES THE RING TO HELP OUT ON THE ATTACK BUT THE FANS CHEER WHEN WILLSON GETS HIS HANDS ON ARIEL. BUT THORN STRIKES HIM ACROSS THE BACK WITH THE WALKING STICK BEFORE INSTRUCTING GANGREL AND DRUSUS TO DO SOMETHING.

Hudson: "Oh no, what do they have planned"?

GANGREL AND DRUSUS GO DOWN NEAR THE SOUND STAGE, FORCING THE TECHNICIAN OUT OF THE WAY. THEN, GANGREL POURS LIGHTER FLUID ALL OVER THE TABLE BEFORE DRUSUS STRIKES A MATCH, SETTING IT ABLAZE!

HTM: "Oh my gosh"!

Hudson: "You can't be serious, what is Thorn doing"?!

THORN THEN PICKED UP NAILS AND THREW HIM OFF THE STAGE, RIGHT INTO THE FLAMING TABLE! IMMEDIATELY, CREW MEMBERS CAME OUT WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND SPRAYED NAILS AND THE TABLE DOWN. THE CAMERA GOT A SHOT OF THORN LOOKING DOWN AT THE CARNAGE WITH A DEVILISH LOOK ON HIS FACE.
