AS PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR LIVE FROM MILWAUKEE, FANS ARE SHOWN ALL OVER THE BRADLEY CENTER AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING ACTION. SCOTT HUDSON AND MICHAEL COLE ARE SHOWN FROM THE BROADCAST EDITION AND MICHAEL COLE's LAPTOP IS SET ON THE TWF CODE RED PAGE ON TWF.COM

Scott Hudson: "It is sure to be an explosive night of TWF action here on PrimeTime and Michael, what a slate of action we have in store".

Michael Cole: "There is no doubt that Code Red will be one of the most exciting TWF events in years and we will put the final pieces to the card together tonight".

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" COMES ON AND CHRIS JERICHO STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE OVER HIS LEFT SHOULDER. JERICHO STRETCHES OUT BOTH OF HIS ARMS AS THE CROWD FOLLOWS WITH BOOS.

Hudson: "And we are kicking things off with the Intercontinental champion who will defend the title at Code Red..... question is, against who"?

Cole: "Are you kidding me? That's it? That's the introduction you give Chris Jericho. How about this..... how about calling him quite possibly the best wrestler in the world. How about calling him THE TWF Intercontinental champion, huh?! How 'bout that, Scott"?!

"REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR STARTS UP AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT FROM THE BACK TO A MIXED REACTION BUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF BRODUS CLAY, WHO IS WITH WOLF AND JERICHO's OPPONENT FOR THE MATCH, DRAWS NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Hudson: "It was on the last edition of TWF PrimeTime that we saw Chaos Wolf defeat Chris Jericho in a non title match and tonight, Jericho will face Wolf's four hundred pound associate Brodus Clay".

Cole: "That was a fluke..... that was nothing but a fluke! No way Chaos Wolf does that again"!

Hudson: "Well he better be worried about this mammoth of a man, Brodus Clay, first".

Non-Title Match

Brodus Clay w/ Chaos Wolf vs. Intercontinental Champion: Chris Jericho

Jericho evaded the big Clay as he came at him to start the match and then landed a few leg kicks on him. Jericho ran the ropes but Clay lowered a shoulder into him that knocked him to the mat. Smacking his own chest, Clay let out a yell and challenged Jericho to try it again. Jericho got up and ran the ropes but this time, he slid through the legs of Clay and then dropkicked him in the back. Clay was knocked across the ring as Jericho moved in with a dropkick to the right knee. Y2J's strategy was working out well but when he tried to lock up a DDT, Clay picked him up over his head in a big bear hug. Chaos Wolf watched from the floor as Jericho winced in pain, trying to find an escape route. Finally, an ear clap bought Jericho some separation. He got free and ran the ropes but Clay smashed him with a clothesline. After a huge elbow drop, Clay made a cover but Jericho was up at 2. Brodus pulled him up by his hair and lifted him up for a big slam. He then bounced off the ropes and went for a splash that would have squashed the IC champ. Jericho rolled out of the way and hit the ropes, landing the Lionsault. Jericho got up and looked at the fallen Clay, deciding to perform the move again. A second Lionsault found the mark and Jericho covered him this time to get the victory.

Match Time: 4:34

Cole: "There ya go..... that's more like it! Ya see that Chaos Wolf..... ya see your boy in there"?!

Hudson: "A very impressive win for Jericho and that gives him the momentum he'll need heading into Code Red".

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE SOUND OF CHAOS WOLF's VOICE AS HE HAD GRABBED A MICROPHONE.

Chaos Wolf: "Stop the music! Now correct me if I'm wrong, Chris, but the last time you and I were in this ring, I pinned your shoulders to the mat. So the way I see it, at Code Red, I should be the wild card and this time..... when I pin you..... it'll be for the title".

IN THE RING, JERICHO JUST LAUGHED AT CHAOS WOLF's IDEA UNTIL "CAPRICORN" BY 30 SECONDS TO MARS CAME ON. M.X OGDEN CAME OUT FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH AJ LEE. OGDEN WAS WEARING HIS RING GEAR BUT THIS TIME, HE HAD A BLACK BANDANA OVER HIS MOUTH THAT WENT DOWN TOWARDS HIS CHEST.

M.X. Ogden: "Hold up, hold up! Wolf.... you...... you want a shot at the title? Gimme a break..... in case your memory is that short, let me remind you that it was me who won a fatal four way match guaranteeing me a shot at the Intercontinental Title. So how can you argue..... how can anyone argue that I shouldn't be that wild card at Code Red"?

SECONDS LATER, MONEY MIKE APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON FROM THE EMPIRE SUITE.

Money Mike: "Gentlemen, before we waste a ton of tv time listening to you two argue over who is going to face Jericho at Code Red, let me just ensure you both that it will be neither of you who will make that decision. It won't be those spoiled, good for nothin' fans that do it either!

THE FANS BOO IN UNISON.

So all I can say is....... Jericho, you'll know which of these men you'll be facing.... when the bell sounds".

Hudson: "So in other words, Jericho better get prepared for either of these guys"!

Cole: "I'm sorry, but that's completely unfair! Why should the champion be at that kind of a disadvantage"?!

Hudson: "That's what this Code Red is all about, Michael..... it's the wild card"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS DISPLAYED SHOWCASING TONIGHT's TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT. CARNEY AND MATT MORGAN WILL TEAM UP AGAINST JORDAN ROCKWELL AND STING.

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

A TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE "TRANSFORMERS 3" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR CODE RED FEATURING CRIS HENNING AND DEVON WADE VS. THE BOOGEYSAINTS.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, ZACK RYDER IS SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA. HE MARCHES RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR OF THE EMPIRE SUITE. RYDER HESITATES AT FIRST TO KNOCK, BUT THEN DOES SO ANYWAYS. SECONDS LATER, TRISH STRATUS OPENS THE DOOR.

Trish Stratus: "Can I help you"?

Zack Ryder: "I was wondering if I could have a word with Wakeman".

Trish Stratus: "First off, that's Mr. Wakeman and what is your name again"?

Zack Ryder: "Seriously....... I guess that's exactly why I'm here".

WAKEMAN COMES TO THE DOOR.

Travis Wakeman: "What's going on, hon....... Zack, what's up"?

Zack Ryder: "Hey, I've been sitting back and watching things unfold and I really think I would fit in perfectly with The Empire".

TRISH LAUGHS BUT TRIES TO HIDE IT.

Travis Wakeman: "Is that right? You think you can just come to our door and ask to be put in The Empire and that's it"?

Zack Ryder: "Yes sir.... I'm ready for this".

Travis Wakeman: "Tell ya what..... do something, anything to impress me tonight.... and I'll see what I can do".

WAKEMAN SHUTS THE DOOR AND RYDER SMILES WITH OPTIMISM AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE RING.

Velvet Sky and Maryse vs. Eve Torres and Gail Kim

Eve Torres was very excited to get her mits on Velvet as this one got underway and the Femme Fatale champion pushed her into the corner with some hard right forearms and a few kicks to the body. She went for an irish whip but Velvet reversed it and ran in, only to eat a back elbow. Eve followed that with a kick to the head that put the blonde bombshell down. She made a cover and got a 2 count before Maryse came in to pull her off. Referee Charles Robinson forced Maryse out, but Velvet had enough time to gather herself and then drop Eve with a clothesline. She then made the tag to the former Femme Fatale title holder, who came in and kept the pressure on Eve with a nice suplex. Maryse taunted Gail Kim as she pulled Eve up and pushed her into the corner, slapping her across the face! But this was a bad choice as Eve responded with a fury of punches before whipping Maryse to the ropes and connecting with a dropkick. Gail Kim tagged into the match and she and Eve combined for a double hip toss. Velvet ran into the ring but Gail kicked her in the abdomen before Eve nailed her with a shot from behind. Robinson got Eve out of the ring and Gail went to work on Maryse, hitting a standing moonsault. She got a 2 count before Maryse got a shoulder off the mat. Gail got her up and whipped her to the corner, using her body like a missile, and slamming into the French beauty. Eve tagged back into the match and grabbed the right arm of Maryse, taking her down with a cross armbar. Maryse was in a lot of trouble and looked ready to tap out when Velvet came back into the ring and put her boot to the face of Eve. Gail came into the ring and clotheslined Velvet who rolled out of the ring. Gail got back to her corner and urged Eve to make the tag, as did the crowd. Eve was able to do so and Maryse was holding her arm in pain as Gail came from behind and positioned her for "Eat Defeat". Maryse fell to the mat and was out as Gail topped her and got the win.

Match Time: 7:47

Hudson: "Gail Kim has pinned Maryse with that impressive finishing move of hers......

Cole: "It's called Eat Defeat.... man, do I have to do everything around here"?!

ALBA RIOS APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE HOLDING A MICROPHONE.

Alba Rios: "Hey, ladies.... up here. Eve, as the TWF Femme Fatale champion, you will be defending your title at Code Red..... and your opponent will be your good friend Velvet Sky".

VELVET GETS A HUGE SMILE AS SHE LOOKS ON FROM OUTSIDE THE RING. EVE MOUTHS THE WORDS "BRING IT" TO HER.

Hudson: "Eve Torres versus Velvet at Code Red"!

Alba Rios: "Oh but that's not all. Anyone want to take a guess at what the wild card for that match will be? It will be the fact that Caleb Weber will be the special guest referee".

Cole: "Wow............

Hudson: "Well we all know the story, Caleb Weber has been dating Eve for several months but Velvet has made her desires for him no secret"!

Cole: "I can't wait for that match..... what's Weber think of being between these two women, literally"?!

BACKSTAGE AREA........

Backstage, we see Lena Yada standing next to the TWF Universal Champion, "The Show" Joe Corey.

Lena Yada: "I am standing here with the man who will defend the TWF Universal Championship at Code Red, "The Show" Joe Corey. Now Mr. Corey, it has been determined that at Code Red, your wild card selection will pertain to the person you defend your championship against. Are you concerned at all that this may spell the end of your title reign"?

Joe Corey: "I swear to God Lena, your questions get dumber ever time I talk to you. No, I do not feel that my title reign is in jeopardy at Code Red. There is a reason that I am the Universal Champion, and that is because I am the best. I don't care who steps in that ring with me. Be it Kevin Thorn, who I defeated at the Royal Rumble. Or Matt Hardy, who I also defeated at the Royal Rumble. Hell, it could even be that fool Jordan Rockwell, who I defeated... well pretty much whenever he gets in the ring with me. Who knows, maybe it will even be against someone who would make for a great matchup with me. Someone like Sin Cara or Chris Jericho. In the end, it is not going to matter. There is no one on this roster that can come close to me. I've seen it in every set of eyes that I have looked into in my career".

At that moment, Lena Yada is seen looking away from Joe Corey with a look of astonishment. Corey looks confused and turns around, and a shocked and puzzled look comes over his face. The camera turns to the side to see Corey face to face with Sting!!!! The two just stare are each other as the shot goes back to the ringside area.

IN THE RING "HYSTERIA" BY MUSE IS PLAYING AND PJ CASH IS IN THE RING HOLDING A SILVER BRIEFCASE.

PJ Cash: "Cut the music............

THE MUSIC SHUTS OFF AND THE ONLY SOUND HEARD ARE THE NUMEROUS BOOS FROM THE CROWD.

PJ Cash: "It is now time for PJ Cash's fifty thousand dollar challenge. So if there is anyone in the back who is feeling lucky..... really lucky..... I am a man of my word and you will be a lot richer than when you woke up this morning. So who's it gonna be...... who wants to press their luck"?

Hudson: "Michael I heard that several superstars were willing to take this challenge but the first man to have signed it will likely surprise you".

Cole: "Wait, you know who it is"?

A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN ENTRANCE THEME HITS AND OUT COMES LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT COMPETITOR BLITZKRIEG.

Hudson: "Here he is..... it's Blitzkrieg"!

Cole: "Who? How the hell could this fool even sign his name on a contract.... gimme a break"!

Hudson: "Blitzkrieg has competed primarily on Uprising but I am very familiar with this guy and if PJ Cash doesn't take him seriously, his pocketbook will be a lot lighter tonight"!

$50,000 Challenge

PJ Cash vs. Blitzkrieg

Laughing, PJ Cash placed the briefcase in the center of the ring and popped it open. Blitzkrieg gazed down at the stacks of $100 bills until he was kicked right in the face by Cash. Referee Marty Elias closed the case and got it out of the ring as Cash whipped Blitzkrieg into the corner and then moved in with some stiff knifedge chops. He then ripped at the mask of the luchador, trying to pull it off his head. Blitzkrieg did all he could to defend against that, dropping down and turtling up in the corner. Elias finally forced a separation, getting Cash out. Blitzkrieg sat up and Cash ran in with a facewash kick right to the face. He then pulled him up and stuck him into the mat with a vicious DDT. The match appeared to be over as Cash covered Bliztkrieg and hooked the leg for the 1................2........., but he kicked out. Cash got him up and shot him into the corner but Blitzkrieg used his superior athleticism to run up the turnbuckle, coming off with a corkscrew body attack that took Cash off his feet and drew a big pop from the crowd. Cash sat up but was kicked right in the face by Blitzkrieg who pulled him up and shot him to the corner, following in with a flying wheel kick that caught Cash right across the face. Quick to follow up, Blitzkrieg lifted Cash to the top turnbuckle and climbed up with him, looking for a frankensteiner. Instead, Cash countered and plunged into the mat with Blitzkrieg, completing a top rope powerbomb! The crowd was in shock after seeing the move and Blitzkrieg was hardly moving. Cash got him up and hit the "Cash Register" for the 1...........2............3.

Match Time: 6:14

"HYSTERIA" PLAYED AGAIN AND PJ CASH GRABBED HIS BRIEFCASE BEFORE HAVING HIS HAND RAISED.

Cole: "Well sorry, no money for this fool with the mask tonight and that's too bad because he could've at least gone out and bought himself a new Halloween costume had he won"!

Hudson: "That powerbomb off the top rope took everything out of Blitzkrieg and give credit to...........

Cole: "So now what, what's PJ Cash win?! All he gets is to keep his hard earned money?! How fair is that"?!

Hudson: "Hey, this challenge was his idea, Michael and I don't recall him asking for anything but I think we all know there's a reason behind him being so generous as to offer up that much cash".

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR VONAGE PHONE SERVICE.

RETURN FROM BREAK.......

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM DURING THE BREAK...........

Hudson: "Fans, we are back live on PrimeTime but we had a bit of a disturbance during the break and you are not going to believe this".

Cole: "Yeah, basically Mark Henry came out to address the crowd and said that if The Empire is looking for someone to impress them, look no further than the World's Strongest Man, take a look".

MARK HENRY HAS JUST FINISHED ADDRESSING THE CROWD WHEN FROM OUT OF NOWHERE COMES ZACK RYDER, WIELDING A STEEL CHAIR. HENRY TURNS AROUND AND IS CRACKED WITH THE CHAIR, WHICH WOBBLES HIM. RYDER SMACKS HIM WITH IT AGAIN, THIS TIME KNOCKING HIM TO THE MAT. HE THEN LEAVES THE RING AND THE CROWD IS SURPRISED.

Cole: "Can you believe this guy..... does he have a death wish"?

Hudson: "Travis Wakeman asked Zack Ryder to do something to impress him but I gotta agree, Michael, I'm not sure how smart that was".

Cole: "Well now it's time for me to do something that I decided just this morning I was going to do. I am going to march into the back and show you why I am the best at this position in the history of this business. Watch and learn, Scott".

COLE GETS UP FROM HIS CHAIR AND HEADS TOWARDS THE BACK AS A CAMERAMAN FOLLOWS. THE CROWD BOOS COLE AS HE WALKS UP THE RAMP AND INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA. AFTER WALKING ALL OVER THE BACK, COLE SPOTS JORDAN ROCKWELL AND BETH PHOENIX TALKING AND WALKS UP TO THEM.

Cole: "Well, if it isn't the Pain Syndicate. Please, for the love of God, could either of you explain what the hell the Pain Syndicate is"?

Beth Phoenix: "Gladly, Michael. The Pain Syndicate was formed to be a group of people who aren't afraid to buck the system.... a group that isn't afraid to fight the system".

Cole: "Very well, but if you ask me, the name is just painful, no pun intended. But let's move onto another great name, the last outlaw. I mean give me a break, what makes Jordan Rockwell, the last outlaw"?

COLE LOOKS AT ROCKWELL BUT AGAIN IT's BETH WHO ANSWERS.

Beth Phoenix: "Simply put, he is the last of his kind, the last of a dying breed and someone who is willing to fight for others, regardless of the cost".

Cole: "Yeah, whatever, as always, Rockwell wants to be revered as some sort of hero which to me, has always been quite pathetic. But it also makes me wonder why a selfish glory hound like yourself, Rockwell, would involve none other than Sting in this fight against The Empire. Are you gonna explain that one or is Beth here gonna answer that for ya too"?

WITH THAT, ROCKWELL GRABS COLE BY THE COLLAR WITH BOTH HANDS AND DRIVES HIM UP AGAINST A WALL.

Jordan Rockwell: "Look, there is a cancer here in the TWF and it needs to be extracted...... whether I have help or not, I will be the man to do that! Oh.... almost forgot this. If you see Joe Corey on the way back to your little announce table, make sure to give him this".

ROCKWELL HANDS COLE SOME SORT OF ENVELOPE AND PUSHES HIM AWAY. COLE HURRIEDLY LEAVES AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

IN THE RING, THINGS ARE BEING SET FOR THE NEXT MATCH IN THE INVITATIONAL TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT.

Hudson: "It looks like I'll be calling this match alone as Michael Cole and his broadcast journalism brilliance searches for Joe Corey to hand him some sort of message from Jordan Rockwell. This will be our final first round match in the invitational tag team tournament as Silver King and Octagon have come over from AAA Mexico to face the team of Wrath and Mortis, once a dominant team in the old WCW days and you really have to wonder who is under the mask of Mortis due to the late Chris Kanyon's untimely death but Wrath on the other hand appears to be in excellent shape".

Invitational Tag Team Tournament 1st Round

Silver King and Octagon vs. Wrath and Mortis

Three of the 4 men in this match wore masks and it was Mortis starting things off with Silver King. Mortis was able to take Silver King down with some basic wrestling but when he tried to get him into a fireman's carry, Silver King elbowed him in the jaw and then kicked him right in the back of the head. A running senton bomb then followed and Silver King waited for Mortis to get up as he hit a flying headscissor. Octagon, one of the top stars in Mexico, then tagged into the match. Octagon went right into his martial arts background, dazzling the crowd with a healthy dose of kicks before a spin kick to the face dropped Mortis. He then picked him up and shot him to the ropes for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, a move Octagon has won matches with in the past. He covered Mortis and hooked the leg but he couldn't keep him down. Mortis showed a lot of resiliency by battling back against the onslaught of the two Asistencia Asesoría y Administración stars. Octagon grabbed the arm of Mortis and tried to get him to the mat for one of his high profile submission holds but Mortis grabbed the top ring rope to fight him off. After letting go of the arm, Octagon ran in and Mortis was waiting with a big kick to the face. He then tagged in the big man Wrath and he came in with an elbow drop but Octagon rolled out of the way. He then got to his corner and made the tag to Silver King. The two lucha libra stars then delivered a double dropkick that knocked Wrath over the top rope and out of the ring. From there, Silver King dove over the top rope with a suicide dive but Wrath moved out of the way, even giving Silver King an added push into the arena floor. Wrath got back into the ring and blasted Octagon with a clothesline that turned him inside out. Mortis jumped from the apron and grabbed Silver King, rolling him back into the ring. Wrath then picked up the pieces, hoisting Silver King up and delivering the "Meltdown" to get the win for his team.

Match Time: 4:34

Hudson: "Wrath and Mortis have advanced in the tag team tournament and folks, in my opinion, this is going to be a team to watch throughout this tournament..... wait a minute, here comes Michael Cole".

OUT OF BREATH, MICHAEL COLE RETURNS TO THE BROADCAST TABLE, PUTTING HIS HEADSET BACK ON.

Cole: "Can you believe that guy?! What is wrong with him?! When is Jordan Rockwell gonna get it through his thick skull that he can't stop The Empire........ period"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR ALLSTATE INSURANCE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE".

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "BARBIE GIRL" BY AQUA COMES ON AND THE SOUND OF THAT IS QUICKLY MET WITH BOOS AS THE FAMILIAR PINK CORVETTE ZOOMS ONTO THE STAGE. KEN DOLL GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND GOES AND OPENS THE PASSENGER DOOR FOR THE BEAUTIFUL LACEY VON ERICH. THE TWO HEAD TO THE RING ARM IN ARM AND APPEAR VERY EXCITED.

Hudson: "We are back live and despite what you are looking at, don't fret, you are still watching TWF PrimeTime".

Cole: "Oh what is that supposed to mean? You don't like these two? That figures..... tell me Scott, has this guy become one of the more successful superstars here on PrimeTime since acquiring the services of Lacey Von Erich"?

Hudson: "Since coming to the ring in a pink corvette and dressing like a children's toy, yes, he has put together a nice string of victories".

"AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" COMES ON AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HE STOPS AND LOOKS AT THE PINK CORVETTE AND JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING.

Cole: "Yeah, go ahead and act disgusted, Shelton! I hope Ken Doll shakes his head at you after this match is over"!

Hudson: "A bit of a rivalry has developed between these two men and they have been involved in some very good matches as a result".

Cole: "Yet it's the complete contrast of styles. Ken Doll is the flashly, elegant pretty boy with one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in his corner. Shelton is the no personality, boring common man"!

Ken Doll w/ Lacey Von Erich vs. Shelton Benjamin

After locking up, Benjamin whipped Doll to the mat with a nice armdrag. Doll got up and shook it off, locking up again. But again, Shelton put Doll on the mat with an armdrag. Shelton then connected with an incredible dropkick and made the cover for the 1...........2....., but Doll pushed him off. Shelton pulled him up and whipped him to the corner. Doll could sense the Shelton Splash coming and moved out of the way. But the athletic Shelton landed on the middle turnbuckle, catching himself. But still alert, Doll ran in with shoulder to the left leg that took Shelton down and he landed hard on the mat. Doll followed up with a running foot to the face to keep Shelton down. He then got him up for a snap suplex and the match had completely went over into Doll's favor. Ken Doll waited for Shelton to get up, throwing a standing dropkick when he did. As Lacey cheered him on, Doll felt that he had things well in hand. He went up to the top rope where he has finished so many matches. But Shelton recovered, running up the turnbuckle and unbelievably bringing Doll off with an overhead belly to belly throw. Doll landed very hard and Shelton hurried into a cover to get the 1...............2............., but again Doll kicked out! Shelton was very surprised but he didn't lose focus, throwing a kick which Doll caught and then using his free leg to connect with the dragon whip kick. Shelton was now ready to hit "Paydirt" and when Doll got up, he went for it. Lacey yelled "watch out" from the arena floor and Doll grabbed the top rope to block the move. Shelton ended up smacking the back of his head on the mat as a result. Doll then positioned himself and got Shelton up, hitting his rolling facebuster and getting Benjamin into a cover for the 3 count.

Match Time: 4:34

Cole: "There we go..... vintage Ken Doll! That's what he should call that move by the way"!

Hudson: "Yet another win for Ken Doll and there's no doubt he'll be able to hang his hat on this one..... a big win over Shelton Benjamin".

Cole: "Well The Empire was looking for someone like Zack Ryder to impress them earlier..... they have to be impressed with this guy"!

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE EMPIRE SUITE IS THE ULTIMO DRAGON AND HE HAS THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

Travis Wakeman: "Vamos a tomar la mejor decisión.............

ULTIMO JUST NODS HIS HEAD AND LEAVES THE ROOM WHEN CARNEY COMES UP.

Carney: "I thought that guy was Japanese"?

Travis Wakeman: "He is, but he claims to speak fluent spanish so I just had to test him".

Carney: "What did you say"?

Travis Wakeman: (Puts his hand on Carney's shoulder) "Just go get ready for your match..... we need to nip this Sting problem in the bud".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE KEVIN THORN AND ARIEL ARE COMING OUT TO "MI DESTROYERO".

Hudson: "So it appears that Ultimo Dragon will defend his Lightheavyweight title at Code Red so that every champion is in action but right now, Kevin Thorn is on his way to the ring for a match with Matt Hardy and Michael, you have to imagine that both of these men are in the running to face Joe Corey at Code Red".

"LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET COMES ON AND MATT HARDY COMES OUT, RECEIVING A GOOD POP.

Cole: "Oh I wouldn't doubt it.... even though Corey soundly defeated them both, nothing ever seems to make sense when it comes to what is fair for Corey so........

Hudson: "Who would you suggest he defend the title against, huh? Yes, he answered a lot of critics by defeating both of these men but let's not just sweep the John Cena situation under the rug"!

Cole: "You have no proof that Corey had anything to do with that and neither does anyone else".

Hudson: "Well we haven't seen either of these men since the Royal Rumble where Joe Corey defeated Kevin Thorn and then Matt Hardy tried to cash in his WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase...... which Corey was banking on".

Cole: "Because of how easily Matt Hardy was duped.... how easily he was outsmarted, I don't think he should sniff another title shot"!

Hudson: "Well what if he defeats Thorn here"?

Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Matt Hardy

Hardy did not appear to be 100% in this one and Thorn wasted no time coming right at him. Thorn laid a knee into Hardy and then rocked him with some hard forearms before shooting him to the ropes. Hardy ducked a clothesline and then responded with a flying crossbody. Thorn got up but Hardy followed him into the corner and pounded him with a succession of right hands. After a tremendous suplex on the bigger Thorn, Hardy went to the middle turnbuckle and was ready to take flight when Ariel reached through the ropes and grabbed his foot. Hardy got off the turnbuckle and bent down, grabbing a handful of her hair. Thorn came from behind with a shot to the back of the head before putting him throat first over the middle rope, choking him with the rope. Referee Scott Armstrong pulled Thorn away after nearly reaching a 5 count but that was probably exactly what Thorn wanted. The distraction allowed Ariel to grab Thorn's walking stick, jamming right into the face of Hardy. He got up, holding his face and ate a big boot to the side of the head. Thorn then picked him up and lifted him over his head, positioning him for and delivering the Crucifix Powerbomb. Hardy landed hard and Thorn covered him for the win.

Match Time: 2:58

Hudson: "There's that walking stick again! Ya know, I think that thing has won more matches than Thorn has himself"!

Cole: "Another brilliant statement from Mister Clueless, Scott Hudson! Bravo, Scott"!

Hudson: "Well fans you do not want to go away because coming up next is our tag team main event and the in ring debut of one of the greatest superstars of this era...... Sting".

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

COMMERCIALS FOR 5 HOUR ENERGY THE TWF MALL ARE SHOWN.

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

BOOS ARE LOUDLY HEARD WHEN THE EMPIRE THEME PLAYS AND CARNEY COMES OUT ALONG WITH MATT MORGAN. THE TWO LOOK INTO THE CAMERA AND MORGAN SAYS "STING, THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST.... AND LAST MATCH IN THE TWF".

Hudson: "We're back and I have waited the entire night for this one".

Cole: "I have too.... I can't wait to see The Empire dismantle Jordan Rockwell and his little paint wearing friend here tonight"!

A HUGE POP RINGS THROUGH THE ARENA WHEN "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO COMES ON AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO AN AMAZING POP.

Hudson: "You are just one bitter man aren't you, Michael"?

Cole: "I'm not bitter, I just agree with a lot of people that this man here needs to recognize who the authority in this company is and stand down"!

Hudson: "Well I think Rockwell has made it very clear that, regardless of the consequences, he's not going to do that but tonight..... he finally has some help".

AFTER A FEW TENSE MOMENTS, STING's "CROW" THEME FROM HIS WCW DAYS STARTS TO PLAY AND HE MAKES HIS APPEARANCE IN THE ENTRANCE. WITH THE SPOTLIGHT ON HIM AND THE ARENA LIGHTS NOW OFF, STING HEADS TO THE RING, A SHADOWY FIGURE WITH A DETERMINED APPROACH TO THE RING.

Hudson: "Here he comes! Sting is ready to get into a TWF ring..... something I never thought we'd see"!

Cole: "I can't believe it either.... I thought this guy fell off the face of the Earth or was working at a supermarket or something! He has no business here"!

Hudson: "What are you talking about? This man is one of the greatest names in the history of the industry and judging by what I can see, he's still very capable of getting it done in the ring".

BEFORE STING COULD GET IN THE RING, MORGAN AND CARNEY JUMPED ON ROCKWELL FROM BEHIND. STING RAN TO THE RING TO HELP HIS PARTNER AND THE FIGHT WAS ON.

Matt Morgan and Carney vs. Jordan Rockwell and Sting

Sting came to Rockwell's aid, jabbing the lower body of Carney and then popping him with some hard right hands. He shot Carney to the ropes but Carney avoided a clothesline and used the ropes for a springboard dropkick on Sting. Referee Mike Chioda moved in and forced Carney to get out of the ring and Sting rolled to his corner to do the same. Morgan was using his immense size to pummel Rockwell in the corner. After some timely back elbows found their mark, Morgan grabbed Rockwell under the right arm and flung him across the ring. He made the tag to Carney who came in and delivered a corkscrew legdrop before getting Rockwell to his feet and connecting with a jumping insiguri. Sting stomped his feet in the corner, trying to rally his partner as Morgan tagged back into the match and dropped a huge elbow on the chest of Rockwell. He went for a cover but Rockwell kicked out at 2. Morgan pulled Rockwell to his feet and smashed him across the back with a clubbing shot before whipping him to the ropes, looking for the Carbon Footprint. But as Morgan threw the vaunted kick, Rockwell held onto the top ring rope to stop his momentum. Rockwell then somehow caught Morgan with a sitout spinebuster and both men were down. But the move brought a roar from the crowd and Rockwell was now crawling to his corner. Stomping the apron, Sting held out his right hand as far as he could and Rockwell slapped it. Sting came in and kicked away at Morgan until Carney came into the ring, only to be dropped with a clothesline. Sting then took a running start and hit the Stinger Splash on Morgan in the corner. Rockwell was ready to get back in, tagging the hand of Sting and he got into the ring, hitting "Extreme Measures" on Morgan. It was all over but the shouting as Rockwell made the cover and got the 1..............2......................3!

Match Time: 5:43

Hudson: "The Empire goes down in defeat! What a team Rockwell and Sting make"!

Cole: "This is unbelievable to me! Something has to be done about this"!

Hudson: "Oh great, take a look at the video wall".

BOOS POURED OVER "SAVE ME", WHICH CUT OUT AS MONEY MIKE APPEARED ON THE TWF TRON.

Money Mike: "Turn that crappy music off! Rockwell..... Sting..... you both probably think you're pretty special right now, don't ya? Well guess what, Rockwell, despite your little victory tonight, there is no way..... NO WAY.... that you will be getting the Universal title shot at Code Red".

BOOS FOLLOW THAT STATEMENT.

Cole: "That's really no surprise..... c'mon people, did you expect something different"?!

SUDDENLY, THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY THE LEGENDARY ENTRANCE THEME OF "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN. AUSTIN COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS IN YEARS WEARING A PAIR OF BLUE JEANS AND A BLACK T-SHIRT WITH A SKULL AND THE PHRASE "AUSTIN 3:16" ON IT.

Cole: "What in the hell is this"?!

Hudson: "Stone Cold Steve Austin........ this place has gone crazy"!

Steve Austin: "Hey Money Mike..... surprise, surprise. While you pick your jaw up off the floor, let me just explain to you why I'm here. Now even though he's a no good piece of garbage, Vince McMahon is a very intelligent man! Before he signed this company over to Travis Wakeman, he added a provision into the contract which Travis or whichever of his fake chested escorts at the time didn't catch onto! So what I am to you is the President of the TWF Board of Directors, able to make important decisions as I see fit! So yes, Wakeman still owns the TWF but as a publicly traded company, it has to be governed fairly".

Cole: "Oh boy, I don't like where this is going"?

Money Mike: "So get to the point, Austin, what are you saying"?

Steve Austin: "What I'm saying is that at Code Red, it will be Jordan Rockwell versus Joe Corey for the TWF Universal title"!

A HUGE CHEER IS HEARD.

Cole: "You gotta be kidding me"!

Hudson: "That's a huge announcement"!

Steve Austin: "And if you don't think the TWF Board of Directors has got just as many surprises as The Empire...... you got another thing comin'.... and that's the bottom........

Money Mike: "No.... it's not gonna end like that. Rockwell, that's fine, you have the title match. But Austin makes a good point about surprises because The Empire has had a huge one in store for a long, long time. We'll see you at Code Red".

THE TWF TRON CUTS OUT AND AUSTIN PUTS TWO MIDDLE FINGERS UP TO IT BEFORE HIS MUSIC HITS AGAIN. AUSTIN THEN HEADS DOWN TO THE RING AND SHAKES HANDS WITH BOTH ROCKWELL AND STING.

Hudson: "Mark my words, folks, tonight will go down as one of the more historical moments in TWF history"!

Cole: "In just a matter of weeks, Rockwell has gained support in the form of Sting and now, Stone Cold Steve Austin".

Hudson: "The battle lines have been drawn.... we'll see you at Code Red"!

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