I think either of these teams could give them a run for their money"! Winners earn Tag Team Title shot Sean O'haire and Albert vs. The Acolytes The Acolytes didn't start the match in usual form as O'haire and Albert trapped Faarooq in the ring and hampered what are becoming his ailing knees. After an all out power assualt by Albert, O'haire came in and caught Faarooq with a chop to the midsection followed by a running knee lift. O'haire and Albert were the perfect balanced attack as they got 2 near falls on Faarooq. But Faarooq caught O'haire with a desperation samoan drop and tagged in the big Texan Bradshaw who came in and clubbed O'haire into the corner before catching him with his fallaway slam. Albert tried to get involved but Bradshaw was all over him too, catching him with a big boot to the face. After a back body drop on O'haire, Bradshaw tagged Faarooq back in and he tried to come in and salt things away. But Albert came from behind with an avalance and pancaked Faarooq in the corner. O'haire then tagged Albert back in and he tried to slow the pace, using a slingshot to guillotine Faarooq under the bottom ring rope. He went for the cover but only got 2. Minutes later, the match broke out and all 4 men were in the ring exchanging shots when Bradshaw clotheslined O'haire out of the ring after Faarooq slipped out of his "Cruel Intentions". Albert tried to catch Faarooq off gaurd with his jumping scissor kick but Faarooq sidestepped him and picked the 340 pounder up and dumped him with his 1 arm spinebuster slam. Faarooq hooked the leg and got the 3 count. Cole: "And in a hard fought war, the Acolytes have done it"! Heenan: "My god I can't believe he picked that man up like that"! Cole: "The Acolytes will now get the shot at Wakeman Enterprises on Saturday Night's Main Event and that's one any wrestling fan has gotta wanna see". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... NEW BREED DRESSING ROOM.... JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM SITTING ON A BENCH AND LOOKING DOWN AT HIS EUROPEAN TITLE AS A DISAPPOINTED ALBERT AND SEAN O'HAIRE ENTER.

Lita: "Hey, listen guys, I'm sorry you lost, but Jordan has the biggest match of his life tonight and he needs you guys to support him". O'haire: "Hey sorry man, good luck tonight". Albert: "Yeah Jordan, we're with ya man". THEY ALL KNOCK FISTS BUT ROCKWELL SAYS NOTHING AS THE SCENE SHIFTS TO AN ENTRANCE DOOR TO THE ARENA FROM THE PARKING LOT.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS SOON AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, JAMIE NOBLE's MUSIC HITS AND HE IS WELCOMED BY A BUNCH OF BOOS. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime and Jamie Noble is on his way out here but it's not on the schedule. What's he doing out here Brain"? Heenan: "Why are you lookin' at me? I have no idea". NOBLE GRABS THE HOUSE MIC. Jamie Noble: "Since I came here to the TWF, I have been one of the best wrestlers here on PrimeTime. Vince McMahon gave me a call and asked if I wanted to compete over on RAW's lightheavyweight division because it was exclusive to RAW. But thanks to Dawn Marie, I chose to come here and all I've done is beat everyone who's gotten into the ring with me and basically shaped this division's lightheavyweght division"! Cole: "Oh please". Noble: "So with that being said, I am challenging Matt Hardy to a match for the Lightheavyweight title because I deserve it more than anyone. So Matt, if you're back there, get out here now and accept my challenge". Cole: "Somebody stop the pain". Heenan: "He's called out the lightheavyweight champion". SUDDENLY, DYLAN JANSENS MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A ROAR FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "Wait a minute, that's not Matt Hardy, that's Dylan Jansens"! Dylan Jansens: "Jamie Noble, am I hearing this right? You deserve a shot at the Lightheavyweight title more than anyone? Listen, you may be good and you may have beaten everyone who's gotten in the ring with you, but one of them hasn't been me". Cole: "Oh boy". Jansens: "So what do ya say, you and me tonight in a match, right here in Grand Rapids"? CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. Noble: (pointing to himself) "You want me, Jamie Noble in a match? You're on punk"! JANSENS SMILES AS HIS MUSIC HITS AND HE WALKS INTO THE BACK. Cole: "Does Jamie Noble know what he's gotten himself into? He's gotta go one on one with Dylan Jansens tonight"! SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. Heenan: "I heard him call out Matt Hardy, not Dylan Jansens"! Cole: "Well that match will happen later tonight and I've just been informed that the winner will face Matt Hardy for the Lightheavyweight title at Meltdown but we're about to get a rematch from the premiere of Uprising". "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AND FOOTAGE OF THE MATCH FROM UPRISING IS SHOWN AS CHRIS MICHAELS COMES OUT. Heenan: "Chris Michaels looks focused tonight but I like Stasiak too, should be a good one". Cole: "Well it was Stasiak who got the win over his former tag team partner on Uprising but can he make it two in a row"? Chris Michaels vs. Shawn Stasiak Michaels attacked Stasiak from behind before the bell rang to gain an unfair advantage. He then took command by backing him to the corner with some hard knifedge chops. He then put the boots to Stasiak but Stasiak fought his way up and blocked a right hand. He then caught Michaels with a few rights of his own but when he charged in, Michaels pinned his arms at his side and caught him with a belly to belly suplex. He hooked the leg but Stasiak powered out at 2. He then whipped him to the corner and followed in but Stasiak got a big boot up to his face and followed that with a swinging neckbreaker. He then went to the top rope and came off with a nice flying clothesline. He went for the cover 1.....2...., but Michaels kicked out. Stasiak then set Michaels up for a deathdrop ddt but Michaels elbowed him in the rib cage, forcing him to break the hold. Stasiak tried to come back with a short clothesline but Michaels quickly ducked and tattooed him with the "Sudden Impact" superkick. He hooked the leg deep and got the 3 count to win it. Match Time: 6:01 Heenan: "Oh wow what a superkick! That may be the best in the business". Cole: "Well Brain I don't know if I'd go as far as to say that but it's still a big win for Michaels". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS TALKING ON HIS CELL PHONE. Shane: "So Vince agreed to that match? Alright, Vlad will love that. I'll tell ya what..... JUST THEN, SHANE's CONVERSATION IS CUT SHORT WHEN DAWN MARIE HANGS IT UP. SHE IS WEARING SOME VERY REVEALING LINGERIE. Dawn Marie: "Hey Shane". Shane: "Dawn Marie, what are you doing? That was an important business matter". Dawn Marie: "Oh Shane, it can wait can't it? Besides, I have something more important". SHE STARTS TO REMOVE HER BRA. Shane: "Ya know what, that's enough of this crap". Dawn Marie: "What"? Shane: "Get out of my office Dawn Marie, I'm not falling for this! I have a job to do and that is to make this show the best I possibly can. Right now, I don't need this from you". Dawn Marie: "Oh so you're gonna turn this down"? Shane: "You're damn right I am". Dawn Marie: "Okay fine, but you're gonna regret it". SHE WALKS OUT SLAMMING THE DOOR BEHIND HER. Heenan: "She can come make the same offer out here. She won't get the same answer from me". COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE.... "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AS TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND BROCK LESNAR COME OUT LED BY TRISH STRATUS. THEY HAVE THE TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND THEIR WAISTS. Cole: "Well we're abck on PrimeTime fans and unfortunately we're gonna be joined by Wakeman Enterprises". Heenan: "What do you mean unfortunately? This is their show". Travis Wakeman: "Ya know, each week we've been coming out here and talking about how we are gonna run this show soon. Well I'm not gonna make that threat anymore. We'll just let you all watch and see. But that brings me to my next topic, the Island Boyz. Rosie and Jamal or whatever your names are, you guys wanna get involved in our business? Well you obviously don't want to have very long careers here in the TWF. Shane McMahon has made sure we won't get involved in your match tonight by threatening us with a suspension but trust me, you two punks are gonna have to deal with us sooner or later. Now..... SUDDENLY, WAKEMAN IS INTERRUPTED BY JOHN CENA's MUSIC AND HE COMES OUT WITH A MIC OF HIS OWN. Heenan: "What the..... Cole: "Wait a minute, that's John Cena"! John Cena: "Wakeman, each week, even before I got to the TWF, I watched the tv and listened to you run your mouth time and time again. Now you are a great wrestler, I'll give you that. But coming out here and basically proclaiming yourself to be the King of the world every week is a little old. I for one am sick of it". Wakeman: "Wait a minute, who the hell are you? You work for teh TWF"? Cena: "Oh yeah, my name is John Cena and I already have one win over Val Venis, a man I watched you wrestle a couple times. Do you wanna be next"? Wakeman: "Next to do what, go and lay concrete"? Cena: "Enough of the jokes Wakeman, I want you in a match, tonight"! Cole: "Whoa"! Wakeman: "You gotta be fuckin' kidding me. You want me in a match tonight? You're on kid and since you're so eager to get in the ring, I'm gonna make sure your career ends quicker than the Island Boyz'". "MAKE WAY" HITS AGAIN AS CENA IS SHOWN WITH A SLIGHT SMIRK ON HIS FACE. Cole: "Can you believe this youngster Brain? He's challenged Travis Wakeman to a match tonight"! Heenan: "Big mistake kid, big mistake". Cole: "I like this kid's attitude! He wants to go right for the big guns"! BRIEF INTERMISSION: MELTDOWN PROMO IS SHOWN. DEACON BATISTA's NEW THEME HITS AND HE IS LOUDLY BOOED A HE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE WITH A MENACING LOOK ON HIS FACE. Cole: "Well here comes Drew Blood's crypt keeper Batista who last week Brain announced that Drew Blood would not be on PrimeTime until they gave him what he deserved. Who the heck are they"? Heenan: "Well Drew Blood is referring to someone or a group who he feels has dicriminated against him here in the TWF and he feels like he's being treated unfairly". "NEVER GONNA STOP" BY ROB ZOMBIE HITS AS EDGE COMES OUT OF A SMOKE FILLED ENTRANCE WITH HIS BLACK TRENCH COAT AND SUNGLASSES TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS ALL NIGHT. Cole: "Well I don't know what would give Drew Blood that idea as he has maintained all along that he doesn't need anyone but it will be a great oppurtunity for his right hand man Batista here against Edge". Heenan: "This would shoot Batista right up the rankings if he could get the win". Deacon Batista vs. Edge This one was over just as soon as it started. Edge used his quickness to gain an early advantage in this one as he got near falls with the Face Plant and Edge-O-Matic. He then kicked Batista in the gut and set him up for the "Edge-a-cution" but Batista powered out of it and backdropped Edge. He then shot Edge hard to the corner and walked in after him. But Edge exploded out with a spinning wheel kick. Edge then whipped Batista to the same corner and tried to spear him but Batista moved and he hit the middle turnpad. Batista then scooped up a staggered Edge and dropped him with what is becoming one of the most devastating moves in wrestling, the jumping tombstone piledriver which he calls "Tales from the Crypt" to get the win. Match Time: 1:49 Cole: "And we might need a stretcher out here for Edge as Batista just drove him into the mat, wow"! Heenan: "Drew Blood picked a winner when he found this guy! What a win that is"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS STILL COOLING DOWN FROM HIS EARLIER ALTERCATION WITH DAWN MARIE WHEN VLAD THE IMPALER ENTERS WITH THE TWF TOUGHMAN TITLE BELT. Shane: "Hey Vlad what's up"? Vlad the Impaler: "Listen Shane, I heard about Nails' challenge for my belt at Meltdown. I know he's a RAW guy but I don't wanna back down from a challenge. So if there's a way we can work it out, I wanna fight him at Meltdown". Shane: "Well in that case, I have good news. My father and I have agreed to this one time only match and it will be for the Toughman title. But Vlad, we've got a huge advantage over them so you gotta win". Vlad: "No problem boss". VLAD TURNS TO WALK OUT. Shane: "Oh Vlad". Vlad: "Yeah". Shane: "There's one other thing". Vlad: "What"? Shane: "It's gonna be an anything goes Bed of Nails match". Vlad: "Are there any rules"? Shane: "Well obviously it's anything goes. But the first guy to throw his opponent onto a bed of nails, wins". Vlad: "Sounds great, wish we could do it now". VLAD WALKS OUT AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL...... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... THE BODY DONNAS MUSIC HITS AND TERRI LEADS THEM TO THE RING AS THEY ARE LOUDLY BOOED. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and what a night it's already been but now we're about to see the in ring debut of the Island Boyz". Heenan: "You ready for a workout Cole? These guys will get you out of such poor shape". Cole: "Me"? SKIP GRABS THE HOUSE MIC. Skip: "Hey Kip, apprently these people in Grand Rapids don't excercise". Kip Pritchard: "Yeah I noticed". Skip: "Well people, you're in luck. So those of you in the audience put the beer down for a second and for those watching at home, take your hand out of the Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket and we'll tell you how to get help". THE FANS BOO LOUDER THAN THEY HAVE ALL NIGHT. Cole: "Yeah this is the way to make people want your help, insult them". Terri: (holding up a VCR tape) "Right here it is. This is the Body Donnas brand new fitness tape. You can buy it whereever videos are sold and you could be as in shape as Skip or Kip here. Oh and ladies, just think, with this tape, you might look half as magnificent as I do". JUST THEN, JAMAL AND ROSIE COME OUT OF THE CROWD IN THEIR STREET CLOTHES AND ATTACK THE BODY DONNAS AND THE BELL RINGS. The Island Boyz vs. The Body Donnas w/Terri After taking off their jackets, the Island Boyz were cookin'. Jamal drilled Skip with a superkick and then they caught Kip with a double flapjack. Finally the referee got some order and made it into a tag match as Jamal dominated Skip. He whipped him to the corner and came flying in with an avalanche and tagged in Rosie. After a hard clothesline and belly to belly suplex on Skip, he brought Kip in the hard way. Rosie took on both men and did well. He then smashed Kip in the corner and whipped Skip right into him. With the Body Donnas stacked up in the corner, Rosie tagged in Jamal and he came in and Rosie whipped him right into the Body Donnas. Terri then got on the apron but Rosie took her by the back of the head and threw her to the floor. Jamal then launched Skip into the air and caught him coming down with a samoan drop. Rosie then came off the top rope with a big splash and got the 3 count. Cole: "My god it looked like he came off the ceiling there"! Heenan: "He came close"! Cole: "The Island Boyz have dismantled the Body Donnas and they showed quite a mean streak doing it. Is this the fate that waits Wakeman Enterprises"? BACKSTAGE THE SCENE SHIFTS BACKSTAGE WHERE JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN WITH THE EUROPEAN TITLE. HE APPROACHES A LADDER WHICH IS STANDING UP IN THE HALL AND JUST LOOKS AT IT WHEN "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES UP. THE TWO GET FACE TO FACE AND JUST STARE EACH OTHER DOWN. Stone Cold: (taps on the European title) "Get ready kid". AUSTIN WALKS AWAY. Jordan Rockwell: (to himself) "I'm ready". #1 Contender for TWF Lightheavyweight Title Dylan Jansens w/Molly Holly vs. Jamie Noble Jansens came out with a gameplan similar to the one Noble usually uses and took Noble down with a few leg sweeps before catching him with a hip toss and slapping on a reverse chin lock. From there, he went after Noble's legs in an attempt to set up the "Dragon Strecth". He went for a figure 4 but as he was turning it, Noble rolled him up with a small package and got a 2 and a half. Jansens then went for a clothesline but Noble bounced off the ropes and caught him with a dropkick to the knee and it was all downhill for Jansens from there. Noble began to work on the right knee of Jansens, softening it up for his "Trailer Hitch" manuever. He whipped Jansens to the ropes but he ducked a back elbow and caught Noble with a spinning heel kick. He thought about trying to hit the "Deep Sea Dive" but instead went for a spinning back drop when his right knee just gave out. Noble slipped off his shoulder and capitalized with a reverse russian leg sweep face drop that planted Jansens' into the mat. Noble rolled him over and hooked the leg to get the 3 count. Match Time: 4:05 Cole: "Jamie Noble got him and with that, he now advances to Meltdown to battle Matt Hardy for the Lightheavyweight title but that was a match Jansens should have won Brain". Heenan: "Maybe he should've but he didn't. The better man won tonight and I predict he'll do so again at Meltdown". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..... BACKSTAGE.... A PROMO WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN WITH TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH ON ONE SIDE AND JOHN CENA ON THE OTHER. Cole: "Well up next folks, John Cena tries to make it two in a row over former TWF champions when he meets the head of Wakeman Enterprises"! VAL VENIS IS SHOWN WALKING DOWN THE HALL. Heenan: "There's one of those former champions now". Cole: "Val Venis isn't scheduled to be here. What does he want"? COMMERCIAL.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, JOHN CENA's MUSIC HITS AND HE STEPS OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "And listen to the ovation for the rookie John Cena"! Heenan: "I wanna hear how these humanoids sound when Cena gets demolished here in a few minutes". "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AS TRISH STRATUS LEADS TRAVIS WAKEMAN OUT HOLDING HIS TAG TEAM TITLE BELT. Cole: "Well he might be a huge underdog but you gotta admire this kid's guts". Heenan: "Well guts aren't everything in this business Cole, you gotta have brains too". John Cena vs. Travis Wakeman w/Trish Stratus This match could draw serious match of the year attention as these two put on one hell of a show. It was clear that Wakeman did not expect to get pushed to the limit by Cena but he did and then some. Cena came out fired up and took it to Wakeman for the first couple minutes of the match. He got Wakeman with a nice powerslam early to get a 2 count and immediately came back with a hip toss into a neckbreaker that wowed the crowd. He hooked the leg 1......2...., but Wakeman kicked out. Cena then went for a hip toss but Wakeman blocked it and countered with a clothesline. He then set Cena on the top turnbuckle looking to hit a superplex but as he climbed up, Cena shoved him to the mat and came off the top rope with a gorgeous cross body block but Wakeman rolled through it using Cena's momentum to get the 1.....2...., but Cena kicked out. Wakeman then went for a sambo suplex but Cena blocked it and brought Wakeman over his shoulder with a hard hip toss. That led to a slingshot which set Wakeman face first into the top turnpad and Cena quickly schoolboyed him to get 1......2....., but Wakeman kicked out as the fans let out a big gasp of disappointment. But Cena kept the pressure on as he backed Wakeman to the corner with some stinging right hands. He then went for an irish ship but Wakeman held onto his arm and pulled him in for an overhead belly to belly suplex. Wakeman then tried to lock in the "Round Table" but Cena countered with a small package and got 1.....2...., but again Wakeman kicked out. Suddenly, Jamal and Rosie came out to get a closer view but soon after, so did Brock Lesnar. Lesnar was taking on both the Island Boyz when referee Chad Patton saw it and sent all of them, including Trish to the back. As Wakeman argued with Patton (who was wearing the brand new PrimeTime orange and black referee shirt), Cena came from behind and scored with a backdrop into a powerbomb. He then signaled for the end and he back Wakeman into the corner and climbed to the top rope with his arm around Wakeman's neck looking for a reverse tornado ddt. But when he went for it, Wakeman blocked it by holding onto the ring ropes. He then muscled Cena onto his shoulder and dropped him with the "Royal Flush" to get the 1....2....3. Match Time: 12:01 Heenan: "Veteran move! That was brilliant ring generalship by Wakeman"! Cole: "Wakeman got all he wanted from John Cena in what was truly one of the best matches I've ever witnessed"! WAKEMAN WAS SHOWN HEADING TO THE BACK WITH A LOOK OF DISBELIEF ON HIS FACE. TWF RE-WIND SHOWS SHAWN MICHAELS AS THE GUEST REFEREE AT KING OF THE RING SUPERKICKING VAK VENIS AS HE ARGUED AFTER THE MATCH. THE FANS ALL COME TO THEIR FEET AS "SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES DOWN THE RAMP WEARING A COWBOY HAT AND BLUE JEANS WITH HIS LOVELY WIFE BY HIS SIDE AND HIS SON IN HIS ARMS. Heenan: "I've watched this man for almost fifteen years and he's always been full of surprises! I'm sure this will be no different"! Cole: "It was announced a couple days ago that Shawn Michaels had a big announcement to make tonight and judging by his family being here, I think I know what it is". Shawn Michaels: "I know you're all wondering what I'm gonna say tonight and to be honest with you, I'm gonna cut straight to the chase. First off, I wanna thank all my fans for supporting me throughout my career, you guys have been great. CROWD CHEERS LOUDLY. But the reason I'm out here tonight is because I gotta let you guys know that the road ends here. As many of you know, I suffered a serious injury and doctors can gaurantee I won't hurt myself permanently if I get back in the ring. It's not cause I don't want to, it's because of the simple fact that I have a family I need to think about too. Now I know..... Cole: "Oh my god, look out"! JUST THEN, VAL VENIS ENTERS THE RING THROUGH THE CROWD WITH A KENDO STICK AND HITS MICHAELS IN THE HEAD WITH IT. HE MOTIONS TO HIT HIS WIFE BUT AS SHE BACKED AWAY IN TERROR, VENIS WORKED OUT THE BACK OF THE FALLEN HBK. HE THEN WENT TO THE TOP ROPE BUT MICHAELS' WIFE COULD NOT WATCH ANYMORE AS SHE FELL ON SHAWN TO PROTECT HIM. BUT SHOWING NO REGARD FOR ANYTHING, VENIS CAME OFF WITH THE "MOENY SHOT" ON BOTH OF THEM AS THEIR SON WATCHED. VENIS' MUSIC HIT AS HE LEFT THE RING. Cole: "Somebody get that maniac out of here! Look at what Venis has done, that's Michaels' wife for god sake"! Heenan: "Venis may have went too far this time". Cole: "May have? Folks, the EMT's are down here checking on Michaels and his wife but this is truly one of the most despicable acts in the history of the TWF. We'll be right back". COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... Cole:" We apologize for the extended commercial break fans but Shawn Michaels and his wife were taken out of the ring on gurneys and will be going to a local medical facility for observation. THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS IS HEARD AS "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES OUT WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE IS HIS RIGHT HAND AS THE CROWD GOES NUTS. But here we go! It's time for the unification match"! Heenan: "I can't hear myself think! These humanoids are gonna blow the roof off this place"! "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA COME OUT TO AN EQUALLY LOUD RESPONSE. Cole: "Jordan Rockwell is not coming out with the European Title as it will no longer be a title here in the TWF. It will be unified with the Intercontinental title right here tonight"! THE LADDER IS SHOWN STANDING AT THE END OF THE RAMPWAY. Heenan: "And there's what they gotta use to get it". TWF Intercontinental/European Title Unification Ladder match European Champ Jordan Rockwell w/Lita vs. IC Champ "Stone Cold" Steve Austin This was an edge of your seat thriller and was one of PrimeTime's best main events ever! After a collar and elbow tie up, Rockwell put Austin in a hammer lock but Austin caught him with a back elbow and then caught him with a string of right hands. He then stomped a mudhole in Rockwell's chest and gave him the double middle finger. Austin whipped him to the ropes but put his head down too early and Rockwell sored with a ddt. He then did what he had to and took Austin to the mat and worked on his chronically bad knees. After a single leg takedown, he pulled Austin to the corner and got out of the ring. He then wrapped Austin's leg around the steel post. He pulled Austin back in and gave him a few more shots but Austin came back with a sidealk slam. He then went out and got the ladder. As he brought it in, Rockwell was getting up and Austin rammed him with the ladder. He then started to climb up but Rockwell grabbed his foot on the third rung and pulled him down. The two traded shots and Rockwell ducked a wild swing and picked Austin up and rammed him head first into the ladder, busting him open. He then started to climb and he had his fingertips on the gold when Austin pushed the ladder down. As Rockwell fell, he landed straddling the ring ropes. Austin pulled Rockwell in and suplexed him. Both men made a couple more attempts up the ladder but couldn't quite grab the belt when suddenly, Jackie Gayda came walking down the aisle. Lita saw her and a vicious catfight ensued. Referee Earl Hebner saw this and stuck his head through the ropes telling them to leave where in the ring, Rockwell and Austin had just clotheslined each other when suddenly, Triple H came through running down the aisle and picked Austin up and delivered the Pedigree! Hebner didn't see a thing as several other officials came out and seperated the women. In the ring, Rockwell slowly made his way up the ladder and grabbed the IC Title to win it. Match Time: 13:05 Cole: "He's done it! Jordan Rockwell has won the match"! Heenan: "With a major assist from the game"! IN THE RING, ROCKWELL SAW THE REPLAY ON THE TWF TRON AND HE LOOKED AT TRIPLE H WHO WAS STILL IN THE RING. ROCKWELL LIPS COULD BE READ SAYING "I DIDN'T WANT IT THAT WAY". TRIPLE H THEN ASKED FOR THE HOUSE MIC. Triple H: "Take your damn belt, you won the match"! Rockwell: (pulls the mic towards him) "I didn't wanna win ith that way Hunter"! TRIPLE H LOOKS TO HIS RIGHT AND THEN KICKS ROCKWELL IN THE GUT AND DELIVERS THE PEDIGREE! "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS. Cole: "Triple H has just planted Rockwell with the Pedigree! The game is an absolute madman"! Heenan: "A madman steamrollin' towards Meltdown"! OFF AIR.....
