Alexander Memorial Coliseum

Atlanta, Georgia

Attendance: 8,488

February 8, 2011

PrimeTime and representatives from the FOX station hit the Alexander Memorial Coliseum, site of the basketball games for the University of Georgia Tech. Current Yellow Jackets Brian Oliver, Maurice Miller and Lance Storrs were all in the front row, ready to take in all the action which started off with Uprising.

Tyler Reks and Vance Archer vs. Joe Kane and Nathan Storm (invitees)

Reks and Archer showed no ill effects from the TLC match at DoomsDay as they took on a couple of young upstarts from Deep South Wrestling. Kane and Storm were no match for the bruising duo and after taking Storm out, the two were able to focus on Kane. After Reks put him down with a powerslam, he picked Kane up and whipped him into the big boot of Archer. The referee was able to get Archer out of the ring but Reks put the match away with the Burning Hammer.

Paul Burchill w/ Rene Dupree vs. Jimmy Uso w/ Jey Uso and Tamina

Burchill pretty much dominated this match from the outset, not only out-wrestling Uso, but being very physical with him as well. After driving Jimmy into the mat with a spinebuster, Tamina got up on the apron, trying to desperately help the fallen Uso. Dupree came around the outside of the ring and actually yanked her off the apron! This brought Jey Uso over and a brawl was on between he and the 'French Phenom'. Tamina got up and nailed Dupree with a hard slap and the distraction allowed Jey to go around the other side of the ring and come in. Burchill turned and was dropped with a nasty superkick. Jimmy slowly got up and went to the top rope, flying off with a crushing splash onto Burchill that got him the 3 count.

Reptile and Blitzkrieg vs. Ultimo Dragon and Max Moon

The fans were brought to their feet many times in this one as the match saw plenty of fast paced action and high spots. Ultimo Dragon had the match won after a moonsault onto Blitzkrieg off the top rope but Reptile came in to break up the pin just in time. Max Moon came in and all 4 men brawled. Moon and the Dragon were able to knock Blitzkrieg out of the ring and Ultimo then came off the ring apron with the Asai moonsault which drew a huge ovation. But in the ring, Reptile caught Max Moon with a jump kick to the back of the head before rolling him over for the win. The referee made a mistake in making the 3 count, as neither man was legal.

Mark Henry vs. Mr. Kennedy

Uprising boasted a very solid main event and this two guys held nothing back. After being squashed by Henry in the corner, Kennedy found himself on the receiving end of a clothesline from the World's Strongest Man. But Henry missed with a big splash and Kennedy came back, roughing him up with some punches before trying to knot up his "tree trunk" legs with kicks. Kennedy pulled him in for the Mic Check but Henry pushed him away. He threw a clothesline that Kennedy ducked before running the ropes but he jumped at Henry and landed right in his waiting arms. A "World's Strongest Slam" later and Henry got his hand raised after a 3 count.

"SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" PLAYED AND HENRY STOOD IN THE RING. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS VICTORIOUS, HENRY STILL CARRIED HIS USUAL ANGRY LOOK. HOWARD FINKEL ENTERED THE RING TO ANNOUNCE THAT PRIMETIME WOULD BE GOING LIVE ON FOX IN 60 SECONDS. HE ENCOURAGED THE CROWD TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE AS THEY COULD AND THEY OBLIGED.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

WHEN PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, A MYSTERIOUS TUNE IS HIT AS FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE FRANTIC SCENE FROM DOOMSDAY WHERE JOHN CENA WAS ATTACKED AND LYING IN A POOL OF HIS OWN BLOOD.

TO LIVE ACTION, JOE COREY IS SHOWN ENTERING THE ARENA. HE HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER AND A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE.

THE SHOT THEN GOES TO THE PRIMETIME ANNOUNCE POSITION WHERE SCOTT HUDSON IS SITTING NEXT TO PJ CASH.

Scott Hudson: "We started tonight's broadcast with that disturbing footage for the benefit of those that may not have ordered DoomsDay on pay-per-view".

PJ Cash: "And as you can all plainly see, Joe Corey is still the TWF Universal champion".

"BARBIE GIRL" BY AQUA COMES ON AND BOOS START UP BEFORE THE PINK CORVETTE ROLLS OUT ONTO THE STAGE. KEN DOLL AND LACEY VON ERICH HOP OUT, HEADED TO THE RING.

Hudson: "Corey left DoomsDay with the title without even having to defend it but the bigger story is.... who is responsible for what happened to Cena, who by the way, is not here tonight".

Cash: "Well don't look at me. I don't care for Cena but I definitely won't help Corey".

Hudson: "Ken Doll has been telling anyone who will listen that he is the uncrowned King of the Ring due to what happened at DoomsDay but right now, he's got a tough match with Chavo Guerrero".

Cash: "I can't agree with that. If Ken Doll deserved to win that tournament, we'd be crowning him tonight so if I were him, I'd be focused on an always tough Chavo Guerrero".

Ken Doll w/ Lacey Von Erich vs. Chavo Guerrero

The match started with the two men tying up and it was Doll that backed Chavo into the corner. After a break, he blasted him with a knifedge chop, but Chavo responded with one of his own. Doll landed another chop but Chavo again matched it and then was able to reverse positions, tossing Doll into the corner before smashing him with 2 more chops. Chavo then got the crowd going before putting Doll down with a fireman's carry. He slapped on a reverse chinlock and Doll did his best to defend against it. He was able to get to a vertical position and counter into a sit down chinbreaker before getting up and running the ropes, nailing Chavo with a clothesline. But Chavo was able to avoid an elbow drop and he pulled Doll up for the 3 Amigos suplexes. This really had the crowd going, but when he got greedy and went for a 4th consecutive suplex, Doll came up with a wonderful counter, driving Chavo into the mat with a rolling neckbreaker. Doll shook off the effects of the previous 3 suplexes before going to the top rope where he came off with a beautiful flying legdrop. He climbed into a cover and hooked the leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:02

Hudson: "Ken Doll picks up an impressive win..... that was impressive".

Cash: "Yeah it's hard for me to argue that, he put Chavo away in pretty quick fashion".

Hudson: "Whether it be the pink corvette or the dreadful ring music, there's a lot not to like about these two..... but Ken Doll is finding success here on PrimeTime".

"BARBIE GIRL" PLAYED AGAIN AS AN EXUBERANT LACEY VON ERICH LEFT WITH KEN DOLL AND MOST OF THE CROWD BOOED.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR FRONTIER AIRLINES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR DORITOS.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "FROM THE INSIDE" BY DEPSWA KICKS ON AND CALEB WEBER COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. SHOWN ALREADY IN THE RING IS BLADE.

Hudson: "We are back live on TWF PrimeTime and ready to showcase two of the young lions here on PrimeTime but before we talk about this match, I really think we need to be asking ourselves what could've happened to John Cena at DoomsDay. I mean, quite honestly, the fact that there isn't an ongoing criminal investigation baffles me".

Cash: "I don't want to spend this entire show talking about John Cena.... did anyone take into account that he may have just slipped on a banana peel"?

Hudson: "Oh stop it"!

Cash: "Why don't we talk about these fine athletes in the ring, huh? You've got Blade who hasn't won a match in about two years against Caleb Weber who has only one maybe two matches..... I'll be in the bathroom".

Blade vs. Caleb Weber

Blade tried to attack Weber from behind but Weber was waiting with a kick right to the gut before taking to the ropes and coming off with a reverse crossbody into a cover which got him a near fall. Blade got up and ran at him again but Weber ducked a clothesline and rolled him up from behind for another 2 count. Blade's frustration was playing right into the hands of the physically sound Weber. But Weber had an irish whip attempt reversed and after ducking a clothesline, Blade nailed him with a yakuza kick to the face. After a big elbow drop, Blade rolled him to his side and kicked him square in the lower back. He then got Weber up and delivered a big suplex before going to the middle turnbuckle. After walking across the ring rope, he flew off with an elbow drop but Weber was able to roll out of the way. He then dropped a quick legdrop across his throat before grabbing his legs, trying to negotiate what appeared to be a Cloverleaf. But Blade was able to wiggle free and then kick Weber right in the face before getting up and drilling him with a clothesline. After pulling Weber up, he picked him up over his head in position for an Alabama Slam, but Weber hit him in either side of his ribs. He then was able to get a double underhook on Blade which he turned into a wicked brainbuster maneuver and there was no kicking out for Blade as Weber got his hand raised.

Match Time: 4:44

EMPIRE SUITE

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE EMPIRE SUITE WHERE JOE COREY HAS BEEN ALLOWED IN BY SECURITY OUTSIDE THE DOOR. MONEY MIKE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN ARE STANDING INSIDE. IN THE BACKGROUND, TRISH STRATUS, ALBA RIOS AND STEPHANIE McMAHON SEEM TO BE TALKING ABOUT CLOTHING WITH TIFFANIE, WHO IS TRYING ON A NEW OUTFIT IN FRONT OF THE GIRLS. SHE RECEIVES A THUMBS UP FROM ALL 3.

Joe Corey: "So what do we need to go over"?

Money Mike: "Well, with what happened to Cena, we really need to establish a new number one contender".

Travis Wakeman: "And rather than having a tournament or a battle royal, we're just going to keep our eyes on a few guys".

Joe Corey (smiling): "Oh.... I get it..... so you're just going to give a bunch of guys the run around and I'll end up facing some stiff like.........

Money Mike: "Uh, no. You will be defending that title in the near future..... it just won't be against John Cena".

Travis Wakeman: "Tonight, you'll be in a tag match. You can pick Chris Masters, Kevin Thorn or Edge as your partner..... the other two are your opponents".

Joe Corey: "That's fine...... whatever I need to do..... and as for Cena.........

Money Mike: "As for Cena, nothing. Just go get ready for your match man".

Damion West vs. Colt Cabana

Before this match could really get started, Chaos Wolf appeared and lured West out of the ring. Wolf began to back away up the ramp and into the backstage area, but it was all a ploy. A ploy to get West counted out, which worked. After the decision was rendered, an irritated West approached the ring and grabbed a microphone. He got into the ring and first laid out Cabana with a superkick!

Damion West: "This is getting old, Wolf! You want to do this..... then let's do this! Come back out here..... now"!

Hudson: "Let it go Damion, let cooler heads prevail".

Cash: "No way..... it's time to settle this! I'm tired of seeing these two argue like little girls"!

CHAOS WOLF APPEARS HOLDING A MICROPHONE HIMSELF.

Chaos Wolf: "What is it that you feel I want to do, Damion? I'm not stupid..... I know you were behind having whoever that tramp was come out and cost me and Henry that match at DoomsDay..... so who is really to blame"?

WEST SEEMS LIKE HE's HAVING A HARD TIME COMPOSING HIMSELF.

Damion West: "Oh, so now this is on me? I'll tell ya what..... I'll give you until the next PrimeTime and we can both get this all out in the open. I'll let you and the entire world know who that woman was!

THE CROWD CHEERS.

Cash: "I know who she was..... she was hot"!

Damion West: "All you have to do....... is tell the world why all of this is really going on".

"STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST COMES ON AS WEST DROPS HIS MIC TO THE MAT. CHAOS WOLF LOOKS ON AS IF HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT WEST IS REFERRING TO.

Hudson: "Well I've often felt that the situation between these two men goes beyond what we know and obviously it does"!

Cash: "An ultimatum of sorts laid down by Damion West..... now the ball is apparently in the court of Chaos Wolf".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

COMMERCIALS FOR 1-800 FLOWERS AND RED BULL ARE SHOWN.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, JUSTIN GABRIEL IS SHOWN IN THE RING ALONGSIDE CAYDEN COLE AND HE LOOKS READY TO GO.

SILVER WOLF's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND A CEREMONIAL NATIVE AMERICAN HEADDRESS ON HIS HEAD.

Hudson: "We are back live for more TWF PrimeTime and the Lightheavyweight title is being put on the line"!

Cash: "Justin Gabriel earned a guaranteed title shot by claiming victory in the TLC match at DoomsDay and he has wasted no time using it...... challenging a man who has been impossible to solve to this point".

Hudson: "Strangely enough, Cayden Cole was one of the men he defeated to win that match but Cole is out here tonight.... in Gabriel's corner".

TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match

Challenger: Justin Gabriel w/ Cayden Cole vs. Silver Wolf

After the two men circled one another, Silver Wolf moved in and got a single leg. Hopping only on his free leg, Gabriel was backed into the corner where the champion smashed his chest with a slap. He then went for a clothesline but Gabriel avoided it and hit the ropes, catching Silver Wolf with a front dropkick. After a few stomps on his fallen opponent, Gabriel went to the apron but Silver Wolf got up and nailed him with a running forearm that knocked Gabriel to the floor. Silver Wolf went outside the ring as Cayden Cole came running over to help Gabriel and the two almost came to blows. But the distraction did allow Gabriel to pull Wolf by the front of the tights right into the ring steps. Gabriel then kicked him hard across his left side before pulling him up and rolling him into the ring. For the next couple of minutes, the match belonged to Gabriel, who punished Silver Wolf. After nailing a running facewash in the corner, Gabriel pulled Silver Wolf up and delivered a wicked reverse rolling neckbreaker. He made the cover and hooked a leg for the 1.........2.........., but that was all. He pulled Silver Wolf up, looking to put the finishing touches on a title win, but Silver Wolf fought back tooth and nail. The two began trading punches and went Gabriel threw a round kick, it was blocked and he was shoved right into referee Scott Armstrong. As the brawl ensued, Cayden Cole tried to come into the ring from behind and he went for a superkick that took out Gabriel when Silver Wolf moved! The champion then cracked Cole with a spinning back elbow that knocked him to the mat before turning back to Gabriel and slapping two hands around his throat. He then lifted Gabriel up and threw him back into the mat with a double chokebomb. Silver Wolf is calling that maneuver the "Apache Slam" and he covered him for the victory.

Match Time: 7:01

Hudson: "Wow..... Silver Wolf remains on the winning track due to a major miscue there by Cayden Cole"!

Cash: "I'm not sure what to make out of the relationship between these guys. I mean, they were beating the tar out of each other at DoomsDay and now, Cole just tried to help Gabriel become Lightheavyweight champion"!

SILVER WOLF HELD THE TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE RING AS COLE AND GABRIEL RETREATED.

Hudson: "But it backfired and Silver Wolf remains undefeated here in his TWF career and if you ask me, he's on his way to doing things we've never seen done in the Lightheavyweight division, PJ"!

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS SHOW TRISH STRATUS WALKING DOWN THE HALL WITH A CUP OF COFFEE IN EACH HAND. SHE HEARS "PSSST" AND IS SO STARTLED SHE ACTUALLY DROPS ONE OF THE CUPS. JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES INTO THE SHOT.

Jordan Rockwell: "Oooh, what's that one for Travis? I sure hope it was. But Trish..... you don't need to be so scared of me all the time, all I want are some answers. I mean, surely you don't expect this little agreement The Empire came to with Joe Corey and the attack of Cena at DoomsDay to just blow over as some strange coincidence, do you"?

Trish Stratus: "I'm warning you, Jordan..... if you don't get out of my face.......

Jordan Rockwell: "You'll what, get The Empire after me? Like I haven't dealt with that before. Matter of fact, I dare them to get involved in my match with Carney tonight..... and you can go back and tell them that..... cause I know you will".

IRKED, TRISH WALKS AWAY

Non-Title Match

Chris Jericho vs. Intercontinental Champion: Evan Bourne

Looking to put his name back at the top of PrimeTime, Chris Jericho took on the red hot Evan Bourne it what was a short but very good match. Jericho got the jump on Bourne after the bell sounded and after roughing him up with a few shots, he battered his chest with some knifedge chops. Jericho then whipped him to the ropes and as he came off, he pushed him straight into the air but Bourne landed on his feet and after a kick to Jericho's left leg, he delivered a spinning jump kick right on the jaw. Bourne followed that up with a standing moonsault that drew a 2 count. Bourne ran the ropes but Jericho got up and trailed behind him, dropping down before trying to hit the "Codebreaker" out of nowhere. But Bourne avoided it and put Jericho back down with a step up enziguri. Quickly and as the crowd loudly cheered, Bourne went to the top rope but Jericho got up and almost out of desperation, he fell into the ring ropes to knock Bourne's feet out from under him. He then climbed the turnbuckle and brought Bourne off with an incredible superplex. Both men were down and referee Aaron Mahoney started a count. He got to about 6 before Jericho slowly rose up. Seeing Bourne still down, he ran the ropes and went for the Lionsault. Bourne put his knees up but Jericho was able to land without making contact with them. Immediately, he grabbed the legs and went to turn Bourne over into the "Walls of Jericho" but right when he ducked his head Bourne cradled it and wrapped Y2J up in a small package as Mahoney made a quick 3 count.

Match Time: 4:16

"BORN TO FLY" PLAYED LOUDLY AS EVAN BOURNE QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE RING WHILE THE CROWD LOUDLY POPPED. IN THE RING, JERICHO ARGUED WITH MAHONEY THAT IT WASN'T A 3 COUNT.

Cash: "I am very stunned by that result....... Jericho could beat Bourne nine times out of ten in my mind"!

Hudson: "Well tonight was Bourne's night and Jericho can argue all he wants..... that was a 3 count"!

Cash: "Wow..... that to me is a big upset".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR DIRECT TV PLAYS FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BURGER KING.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAYDEN COLE AND JUSTIN GABRIEL ARE SHOWN ARGUING IN A DRESSING ROOM IN THE BACK. TYLER REKS AND VANCE ARCHER ARE TRYING TO GET BETWEEN THEM WHEN A LOUD CRASH IS HEARD. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DRESSING ROOM DOOR HAS BEEN KICKED OPEN. THE CAMERA MOVES OVER AND SHOWS M.X. OGDEN STANDING IN THE DOORWAY. HE SLOWLY WALKS IN, HIS EYES FIXED ON COLE.

M.X. Ogden: "I should've known you weren't ready for this.... and I will no longer sit back and let you destroy my plans. I've talked to The Empire and you have been relieved of your duties here in the TWF. Go get your bags and get the hell out of here".

COLE TAKES A HARD SWALLOW AND LEAVES THE ROOM. OGDEN THE FOCUSES ON THE OTHER 3 MEN.

Justin Gabriel: "Good to see ya, man".

M.X. Ogden: "I don't want to have to do that again..... let's all keep in mind the tasks that are at hand".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "AMAZING" BY KANYE WEST COMES ON AND JOE COREY COMES OUT WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. SECONDS LATER, CHRIS MASTERS EMERGES FROM THE BACK, FOLLOWING HIM DOWN THE RAMP.

Hudson: "What the hell did we just see"?

Cash: "I have no explanation for that, Hudson. Last we knew, it was M.X. Ogden who was no longer employed here in the TWF and it now looks like he has somehow arranged for the axe to be given to the newcomer Cayden Cole".

Hudson: "We've got one of our feature bouts set to take place next and it seems as though The Show has chosen The Masterpiece as his partner".

Cash: "It's hard to argue choosing the former multiple time World champion, but he's on the opposite side of the ring from two guys who know what it's like to be champion and are hungry to get the belt around their waists again".

THE LIGHTS GO OUT IN THE ARENA AND BOOS FOLLOW AS "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON AND KEVIN THORN IS LED OUT BY ARIEL.

Hudson: "The Empire let Corey know earlier tonight that they are looking for a new number one contender as we still aren't sure the extent of John Cena's injuries and that gives this man, who came within an eyelash of winning the King of the Ring tournament, a great opportunity".

Cash: "I'm still just at a loss of words over the fact that M.X. Ogden is here in the building. How did he get past security"?

"METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON NEXT AND EDGE IS OUT TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS. AFTER HIS PYRO POUNDS OFF THE SET, HE HEADS TO THE RING WITH A VERY DETERMINED LOOK IN HIS EYES.

Hudson: "He got in here somehow but I'm interested to see how he explains himself as we see the self proclaimed greatest Universal champion, Edge, on his way to the ring".

Cash: "This is a huge match for Edge who could be just one spear away from getting a chance to once again hold that Universal title and you know he'd love another shot at Corey".

Hudson: "He'll have to work with Kevin Thorn to get that accomplished tonight and it already seems that team is having issues...... Edge seems to be sending a warning to Ariel".

"The Show" Joe Corey and Chris Masters vs. Edge and Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel

Edge pointed at Ariel and seemed to be giving her some stern instruction. That forced Thorn over and into the face of his own tag team partner. From behind, Masters nailed Edge with a hard forearm shot before picking him up for a backdrop suplex. Masters then made the exchange to Corey who kept Edge on the defensive, buttering him up with some heavy punches to the body before yanking him into a clothesline. After a kneedrop right across the head, Corey made the cover but Edge was up at 2. Masters tagged back into the match and Corey held Edge in place so the 'Masterpiece' could go to the gut with a kick. Off an irish whip, Masters tried to get Edge up for a military press but he was able to slip free and pull Masters down with the Edge-O-Matic. Both men were down but Edge was in need of a tag much more. Masters got to his corner and slapped the hand of Corey who ran in and tried to get the foot of Edge but Thorn was able to get the tag first and he came into the ring and drilled Corey with a right hand followed by a kick to the head that knocked the champion to the mat. Thorn then dropped a big elbow before looking up with a demented look in his eyes. Thorn got Corey up and connected on a gutwrench suplex and Edge wanted back into the ring. Thorn didn't seem ready to get out, ignoring the request. He pulled Corey up but felt Edge slap his back, making himself the official man in the match. Edge got in the ring and Thorn got in his way. The distraction allowed Corey to slam into Thorn from behind and he and Edge collided. Corey then nailed Edge with a flying knee to the face and he had him in trouble. He got him up for the "Showstopper" but Thorn got up and nailed Corey with an elbow to the head. Masters came into the ring and clotheslined Thorn over the top. He then ran right through Edge with a double sledge to the face. Referee Marty Elias forced Masters to get to his corner but Corey came over and made the tag. They then measured Edge together but Edge ducked a double clothesline and ran over Masters with the spear! Corey then ran at him but Edge sidestepped him and grabbed him by the back of the head, throwing the reigning Universal champion over the top rope. Edge positioned himself in the corner, waiting for Masters to get up. But holding onto the tag rope, Thorn returned the favor from earlier, tagging himself back into the match. He then went and grabbed Masters, getting him up over his head for the Crucifix Powerbomb. Masters was out and Thorn climbed into a cover and Elias pounded the mat for the 3 count.

Match Time: 9:05

Cash: "Big win for Kevin Thorn and Edge"!

Hudson: "It certainly wasn't a team win, however and it was Thorn who scored the pin. Does that mean........

Cash: "It doesn't mean anything, Hudson! The Empire was looking for someone to emerge as a number one contender and the decision is in their hands"!

"MI DESTROYERO" PLAYED AND THORN CELEBRATED IN THE RING WITH ARIEL AS THE CROWD BOOED. EDGE LEFT THE RING, NEVER EVEN ALLOWING THE REF TO RAISE HIS HAND.

Hudson: "Well if that's the case and Joe Corey is involved, they may not select any of these guys to be the next number one contender! Hell, I could see them giving the next title shot to referee Marty Elias"!

AFTER THORN AND ARIEL GOT OUT OF THE RING, JOE COREY GOT BACK IN WHEN HE HEARD "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET COME ON. THE CROWD WENT CRAZY AS MATT HARDY CAME OUT CARRYING THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE.

Cash: "Oh you gotta be kidding...........

Hudson: "Is he doing it"?!

HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, COREY DARED HARDY TO GET INTO THE RING. HARDY FAKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO BUT INSTEAD JUST BACKED OFF, LAUGHING.

Cash: "Yeah that's right, he doesn't have the guts! C'mon, Hardy, go for it"!

Hudson: "He didn't do it this night, but that's just one more thing for Joe Corey, and The Empire for that matter, to consider"!

BACKSTAGE AREA......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW M.X. OGDEN EXITING THE DRESSING ROOM HE WAS IN EARLIER. BUT HE ONLY TAKES A FEW STEPS BEFORE HE RUNS INTO MONEY MIKE.

M.X. Ogden: "Look, I know what you're gonna say and........

Money Mike (cuts him off): "Perhaps you didn't hear Stephanie good enough..... you are fired. Now before this turns ugly, I suggest you get out of my building and don't plan on setting foot in a TWF related event again".

M.X. Ogden: "Ya know Mike, I thought we could be civil, but I guess not. Fact is, I'm not fired anymore.... it's been uplifted. I'll let you figure out how that happened".

OGDEN GRABS MIKE's HAND AND SLAPS A PIECE OF PAPER IN IT. MIKE STARTS TO READ IT AS OGDEN WALKS OFF.

THE EMPIRE THEME PLAYS AND CARNEY COMES OUT ALONG WITH ALBA RIOS.

Cash: "Well I guess we have our answer".

Hudson: "We do? What was that piece of paper about? Oh well, it's main event time and if you ask me, the fact that Carney is even here tonight, let alone competing is amazing following what we saw at DoomsDay".

Cash: "He was on fire.... literally on fire. Good thing for him, those extinguishers hit him quick".

Hudson: "This situation between Jordan Rockwell and Carney, well The Empire in general for that matter, has reached a point where someone is going to get hurt and these two men are ready to rip each other limb from limb tonight"!

"SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO COMES ON AND THE CROWD ERUPTS IN CHEERS. BETH PHOENIX COMES ON WEARING A "PAIN SYNDICATE" T-SHIRT AND SHE POINTS TO THE ENTRYWAY. JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT NEXT AND HEADS TO THE RING.

Cash: "And Rockwell has brought out the answer for Alba Rios..... The Glamazon".

ROCKWELL CLIMBS INTO THE RING BUT AS SOON AS HE DOES, MATT MORGAN, CRIS HENNING AND DEVON WADE COME OUT FROM THE BACK. THEY SURROUND THE RING AND ROCKWELL IS STRANGELY SMILING.

Hudson: "Rockwell dared The Empire to do this and it looks like they've called his bluff"!

ALBA RIOS RAN AROUND THE RING AND STRUCK BETH PHOENIX WHICH LED TO MORGAN, WADE AND HENNING ENTERING THE RING. TOGETHER WITH CARNEY THEY WERE ALL OVER ROCKWELL. THAT IS, UNTIL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.

WHEN THEY CAME BACK ON, HENNING WAS DOWN IN THE RING AND ROCKWELL WAS HOLDING A BASEBALL BAT. WADE, MORGAN AND CARNEY QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE RING AS ROCKWELL POINTED UP TO THE RAFTERS.

Cash: "What the...... hell"?

THE CAMERAS FURIOUSLY SEARCHED THE RAFTERS AS THE CROWD WENT BERSERK BUT NOTHING COULD BE SEEN.

Hudson: "Where did Rockwell get that baseball bat?! This is nuts"!

Cash: "Rockwell is playing mind games here with The Empire and somehow...... he's getting the best of it"!

THE EMPIRE RETREATED AS "SAVE ME" PLAYED AGAIN. IN THE RING, ROCKWELL, STILL HOLDING THE SOLID BLACK BAT, STOOD WITH BETH PHOENIX BEFORE THE SHOT FADED OUT.

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