DARK MATCH John Cena looked brilliant as he schooled Body Donna Kip after the referee sent Skip back to the dressing room. After several high impact moves, Cena hit the "Cena-Plex" to get the win in 5:02 PRIMETIME GOES LIVE "ROCK SUPERSTAR" PLAYS AS PRIMETIME's MONTAGE IS SHOWN, FEATURING THE SUPERSTARS OF THE DIVISION. FIREWORKS POUND THROUGH THE ARENA ONCE IT IS SHOWN AND THE ORANGE ROPED-BLACK TURNBUCKLE RING COMES INTO VIEW. A PROMO PICTURE COMES UP FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO AND THE CAMP CORNETTE FLAG AS CHRIS BENOIT AND YUJI MATASAMO ARE SHOWN WITH JIM CORNETTE ON ONE SIDE AND "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN AND SHAWN MICHAELS STAND ON THE OTHER. Michael Cole: "Inside that ring tonight, those two teams are gonna go at it! Welcome to PrimeTime folks, I'm Michael Cole alongsode Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and what a show we have in store for you, as this division always does"! Bobby Heenan: "That tag team main event is worth the price of admission but we've still got a no disqualification match tonight along with Wakeman Enterprises"! Cole: "Oh joy to the world". HIP HOP MUSIC HITS AS JAMAL AND ROSEY MAKE THEIR WAY OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Heenan: "We're kickin' it off with tag team action tonight and here come the former champs"! Cole: "Jamal and Rosey are a young, hungry team but they haven't quite got everything down yet. Once they do, look out". EVOLUTION's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GREAT POP WEARING THEIR BLACK LEATHER PANTS AND BLUE ARMBANDS. Heenan: "That's what I'm gonna yell to these guys, look out"! Cole: "This is a team many people, including myself see as having a tremendous future here on PrimeTime but they've got their work cut out for them tonight"! Jamal and Rosey vs. Evolution Jamal and Rosey used what brought them to the big time, their mix of size and ability to overwhelm the smaller team. Rosey powerslammed Frankie Kazarian and then tagged in Jamal who came in and whipped him to the corner, following with a reverse avalanche. He then tossed Kazarian to the corner and he tagged in Nova. Nova had a little luck against Jamal, hitting him with a flying back elbow. But after swatting away a dropkick, Jamal delivered a samoan drop. But instead of going for the cover, he tagged in Rosey who put him down with a reverse gas mask slam. But again, there was no cover. Jamal came back in and they set Nova up for their flip over hip toss slam but Kazarian sprung off the ropes with a missile dropkick, catching Rosey mostly on the shoulder. Jamal released Nova and chased Kazarian to the apron but when he turned around, Nova caught him with a jump kick to the back of the head that took him down to one knee. Nova then tried to bounce off the ropes but Rosey got up and jabbed him in the head. Rosey then held Nova's arms back as Jamal measured him but Nova got free and Jamal's superkick nailed his own partner! Nova and Kazarian then used a double dropkick to knock Rosey out of the ring. Jamal charged Nova with a clothesline but when he ducked, Kazarian caught Jamal with his own superkick. That set up the "Theory of Evolution" which is similar to the old Rocker Dropper and Nova hooked the leg to get the 1...2...3. Match Time: 10:47 Cole: "What a move! That was the Theory of Evolution and it's led to a huge upset"! Heenan: "This is bigger than huge Cole! Rosey and Jamal are stunned"! Cole: "It goes to show you the level of competition here in the TWF and if you don't capitalize like Rosey and Jamal didn't, anyone can beat you"! EVOLUTION ARE SHOWN WALKING UP THE RAMP WITH THEIR ARMS RAISED AS THEIR MUSIC HITS. BACKSTAGE CAMERAS SHOW A MOTIONLESS BATISTA LYING FACE DOWN IN THE HALLWAY. "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AS PRIMETIME OWNER SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A GREAT CHEER. Cole: "Here comes our highly respected owner Brain but what was that that we just saw"? Heenan: "Respected by who"? Cole: "Obviously you're off in another world again but for anyone who didn't notice, that was Batista who was down back there, what's up with that"?! Heenan: "What's up with Shane McMahon, he's got a microphone"! Shane McMahon: "Hello everyone and welcome to the best show on tv, PrimeTime. FANS CHEER. Now unlike my father and my sister, I hate to take the spotlight from my superstars. So I'm gonna make this short. But I felt I had to do this in a public forum so Travis Wakeman, I know you're back there. Why don't you come on down, I have something to say to you, face to face". Heenan: "Here we go Cole, he's gonna apologize"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AS TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT ALONG WITH TRISH AND BROCK LESNAR. Cole: "Well I highly doubt that and if I'm not mistaken, I didn't hear Shane ask for anyone but Wakeman"! Heenan: "You oughta know by now, you ask for one you get the group"! THEY ENTER THE RING AND WAKEMAN WALKS TO ABOUT 3 FEET FROM SHANE. Shane: "Now I know you think you're pretty big stuff since winning your match at When World's Collide, but I'm not even gonna congratulate you on it. And what I sure as hell won't do is put my past with you behind me like my father did at the pay-per-view. You will get no special treatment on my show. Now as long as we're clear on that...... JUST THEN, WAKEMAN SUCKER PUNCHES SHANE AND GRABS THE MIC. Travis Wakeman: "Who's show Shane? I've been telling you for weeks now who's show this is..... mine! Get him Brock"! LESNAR PICKS SHANE UP AND DELIVERS THE "F5". BUT MOMENTS LATER, SEVERAL PRIMETIME TALENTS, INCLUDING EDGE, DYLAN JANSENS, JOHN CENA AND BRADSHAW COME OUT. Cole: "Help's on the way! Get them"! WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES HIGH TAILS IT INTO THE CROWD AS THE 4 MEN CHECK ON THE CONDITION OF SHANE. Heenan: "Oh he drilled Shane with that, he's hurt". Shane: "But look at the show of unity from the PrimeTime locker room. Of course he's hurt, Lesnar's a world class athlete, Shane's not! And as far as this being Wakeman's show, it looks like there's a host of superstars willing to challenge that theory"! MORE SUPERSTARS COME FROM THE BACK TO HELP SHANE AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "GHOST SHIP" IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE... SEAN O'HAIRE IS TALKING WITH PRIMETIME's NEWEST SUPERSTAR, CARNEY. THE CAMERA's MOVE IN ON THE CONVERSATION. Carney: "Cool man, I like the idea". Sean O'haire: "Ok man, well I'll talk to Jordan about it". Carney: "I appreciate that, I'll see ya later". BACK AT RINGSIDE, SEAN O'DOUL IS IN THE RING WAVING THE IRISH FLAG TO A HUGE PROTEST WHEN BRADSHAW's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD GOES WILD. Cole: "We're back folks and we've got a rematch of sorts here but what is that guy doing waving the flag tonight"? Heenan: "First of all, he beat Bradshaw last week in that flag match and he doesn't need any of these humanoids permission to wave that flag. He's a proud man"! Cole: "As is Bradshaw which is why he asked for this rematch tonight and Bradshaw's got his game face on". Bradshaw vs. Sean O'Doul Bradshaw may have found someone as tough as him as the former bouncer took everything he could dish out and gave it back. Bradshaw whipped O'Doul to the corner and charged in but O'Doul stuck a big foot in his face and followed it up with a clothesline. He then scopped the big Texan up and dropped him hard across his knee. After 2 elbow drops, O'Doul used his combat boot to choke Bradshaw, standing right on his esophagus. He then picked Bradshaw up after referee Mike Chioda utilized his 5 count and went for an irish whip but Bradshaw reversed it and swung O'Doul right into a nasty "Clothesline from Hell". Bradshaw hooked the near leg to get the 3 count. Match Time: 11:23 Cole: "Oh my what a match! Bradshaw has survived but this O'Doul is one tough customer"! Heenan: "Wait a minute, what's Bradshaw doing"? BRADSHAW GRABBED THE TIMEKEEPER's CHAIR AND BROUGHT IT INTO THE RING. O'DOUL SLOWLY GOT TO HIS FEET BUT BRADSHAW DRILLED HIM WITH THE CHAIR AND THEN RAISED HIS HAND WITH THE LONGHORN SYMBOL AS THE CROWD WAS DEAFENING. Heenan: "These people cheer that"?! Cole: "Bradshaw has made sure that he leave a lasting impression on Sean O'Doul, what a shot"! A REPLAY IS SHOWN OF THE CHAIR SHOT. A BATTLEFIELD IS SHOWN AS FIRES BURN AND THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS IS HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND. THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN. ONLY TIME WILL TELL HOW LONG WE HAVE LEFT.

RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS, POUNDING HIS CHEST. Cole: "TWF Doomsday promises to be a huge event as the pay-per-views this company puts on get better all the time. We thank everyone who ordered When World's Collide, helping to make it the second highest grossing event of all time, second only to last years WrestleMania"! "THE KINGS" BY RUN DMC HITS AS SEAN O'HAIRE COMES OUT AND RECEIVES A GOOD POP. Heenan: "Everywhere I go, I run into TWF fans and it's great! This company knows how to do it"! Cole: "Well here's a guy I think can go a long way in singles competition. Ever since he arrived in the TWF, Sean O'haire has been primarily a tag team wrestler. It's time to see what he can do on his own". Heenan: "Well he's gonna find out where he stacks up here in a minute and against the manbeast I don't think that'll be real high"! Sean O'haire vs. Rhyno What a match this was as the action went back and forth and the advantage changed hands multiple times. Off the collar and elbow tie, Rhyno pushed O'haire back into the corner and drove his shoulder into his abdomen 5 times before hitting a vertical suplex. Rhyno then wore O'haire down with his right hands but when he bounced off the ropes, O'haire came back with a side hook kick. He then whipped him in and went down to one knee, hitting a backhand to the gut followed by a spinning backhand to the head. O'haire was cruisin' as he shot Rhyno to the corner and launched him into the air with a backbody drop. After the 2 exchanged right hands, O'haire used a knee lift and then went for a whip to the corner but Rhyno reversed and followed in with the "Gore". But alertly, O'haire moved out of the way and Rhyno smashed into the corner hard. O'haire then lifted him onto his shoulders for "Cruel Intentions" but Rhyno slipped off. When O'haire turned around, Rhyno picked him up and deposited him with a hard spinebuster, smacking the back of his head off the mat. Rhyno hooked both legs and got a 3 count. Match Time: 7:53 Cole: "Despite a game effort from Sean O'haire, Rhyno has added another win to his belt". Heenan: "Well he gave the manbeast more of a run than I thought he would but Rhyno is almost unbeatable when he's on his game and tonight, he was"! RHYNO IS SHOWN WALKING UP THE RAMP AS THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK AND GOES TO BREAK..... A BROADCAST PREVIEW OF TNN's TV LINEUP IS SHOWN FEATURING CSI AFTER TWF RAW. RETURN FROM BREAK.... CAMP CORNETTE DRESSING ROOM.... CHRIS BENOIT AND HAYABUSA ARE IN THE ROOM WHEN JIM CORNETTE ENTERS EITH A PIECE OF PAPER. Jim Cornette: "Hey guys". Chris Benoit: "Where's Yuji, we've got a match tonight". Cornette: "Well that's what we need to talk about. Hayabusa, I need you to team with Chris tonight". HAYABUSA NODS HIS HEAD. Benoit: "Why, what's the problem"? Cornette: "Well, I got this letter earlier today from Yuji saying he had something he had to do today, it was urgent. He also left this". CORNETTE PULLS OUT A WHITE HEADBAND WITH THE LETTERS "KG" INSIDE THE RED JAPANESE SUN. BENOIT TAKES IT AND EXAMINES IT. Benoit: "Hmmm, I think I know what he's up to. Jim, it's no big deal, Hayabusa and I will handle Austin and HBK tonight". Cornette: "Good, I know you guys will". JAMIE NOBLE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO SOME HORRENDOUS BOOS. Cole: "So Yuji Matasamo has apparently left the arena tonight for some urgency and he will be replaced in that match by Hayabusa"! Heenan: "And now we've got something that PrimeTime does better than anyone and that's lightheavyweight wrestling"! CARNEY's MUSIC BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Cole: "You got that right Brain as it's Carney's first match as a member of this division and to be honest with ya Brain, I think we got the better end of that deal". Heenan: "Just don't tell Albert that". Cole: "Should be a great match here between two guys trying to climb the ladder in that lightheavyweight division". Jamie Noble vs. Carney Carney exploded with offense to start the match as he took a series of arm drags into some fast paced offense but he was slown down when Noble ducked a clothesline and immediately kicked the back of his knee. Noble stomped on the same area several times before driving his own knee into it. He quickly tried to lock in the "Trailer Hitch" but Carney had it well scouted and he countered it. After a kick to the stomcah, Carney bounced off the ropes and caught Noble with a flipping swinging neckbreaker followed by a standing moonsault which got 1.....2...., but Noble kicked out. Carney used a go behind and ran him into the ropes but Noble rolled through the rollup and grabbed the middle rope for leverage but after a 1 count, referee Chad Patton saw this and kicked his hands. Carney then whipped him to the far side after 2 right hands and went for a clothesline which Noble ducked and immediately he went for a backslide. But before he could get Carney's second arm, Carney spun him around and hit the "Carney Drop" out of nowhere and hooked the leg to get a 3 count. Match Time: 3:15 Cole: "Oh wow, just like that Carney has given Noble a defeat and his PrimeTime future is looking brighter and brighter"! Heenan: "Noble hasn't tasted defeat too much so Carney better savor that win"! BACKSTAGE..... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS ON THE PHONE, HOLDING AN ICE PACK ON HIS FOREHEAD. Shane: "Look, I was assaulted earlier tonight so I may be a little woozy but did I hear you say that the papers never arrived? (pauses) Well I don't know how that could be because I sure sent them. THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. Come in. Well yeah, I suggest you find them cause I need that done as soon as possible. Okay bye". HE HANGS UP AS SPIKE AND SATURN COME IN. Spike Dudley: "Listen Shane, we saw what happened to you out there and we just wanna help out and show that we support you as our owner here on PrimeTime". Shane: "So what are you suggesting"? Perry Saturn: "We want Wakeman Enterprises next week on PrimeTime, for the titles". Shane: (hesitates for a moment) "Ya know, actually I like that idea. I still plan for them all to pay and pay dearly, but that'd be great if you guys could take those titles". Spike: "So it's official"? Shane: "Yeah, you got your match, next week right here on PrimeTime". SPIKE AND SATURN BOTH SHAKE SHANE's HAND. SPIKE TELLS HIM "THANKS" AND THEY BOTH WALK OUT. Non Title Chris Michaels vs. Lightheavyweight champ Matt Hardy This match got off to a quick start and subsequently ended quickly. Michaels drilled Matt with some hard knifedge chops after backing him to the corner but Matt used a standing switch and popped Michaels with a series of right hands and then he put him down with a scoop slam. Matt then sent him to the corner but Michaels stuck a foot in his face as he charged in and then dropped him with a clothesline takedown. Michaels then ascended the turnbuckle and came off with a double axe handle but Matt blocked it and hit the Side Effect to get 1.....2....., but Michaels' right shoulder shot off the canvas. Matt stayed on the attack, keeping the preesure on but off an irish whip, he put his head down way too early and Michaels scored with a swinging neckbreaker. He then positioned himself in the corner and sized Matt up for the "Sudden Impact" superkick but Matt got up and quickly reacted by ducking and then kicked him in the stomach and hit the "Twist of Fate" to get the win. Match Time: 3:21 Cole: "Out of nowhere, the Twist of Fate has bailed the Lightheavyweight champ out of a tough match but wait a minute, Michaels from behind"! MICHAELS ATTACKED MATT FROM BEHIND AND BEGAN TO PUT THE BOOTS TO HIM AS THE BELL CONTINUED TO RING WHEN OUT OF THE BACK CAME DYLAN JANSENS WHO SLID INTO THE RING, SPUN MICHAELS AROUND AND KNOCKED HIM DOWN WITH A THIRD RIGHT HAND. MICHAELS RETREATED AS JANSENS HELPED HARDY UP. JANSENS THEN WENT OUT AND WALKED UP THE RAMP BACKWARDS, HOLDING 2 FINGERS UP BUT MATT DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. Heenan: "Why is Dylan Jansens helping Matt Hardy"? Cole: "Matt has been bailed out twice tonight, this time by Dylan Jansens but what do those two fingers signify"? COMMERCIAL.....

Plus, this is Vlad's domain, he lives for matches like this". No DQ's Hardcore Holly vs. Vlad the Impaler Perhaps the most brutal match ever on PrimeTime, this one got out of hand in a hurry. The two started throwing haymakers as if in an alley fight the second the bell rang and Holly got the best of it. He then sent Vlad for the ride and caught him with the Best dropkick in the Business. Holly then snap suplexed him and was in total control. But Vlad reversed an irish whip and backdropped Holly all the way to the floor! Holly was slow to get up after landing awkwardly and Vlad then showed a mean streak like never before, ramming Holly face first into the ring steps repeatedly. Vlad then irish whipped him right into the barricade surrounding ringside and raised his arms as the crowd booed him. Vlad then went for a suplex but Holly blocked it twice. He came back with a pump handle right on the floor. Holly then removed the protective padding on the floor and set Vlad up for a piledriver on the concrete. But Vlad avoided it, backdropping Holly. He then reached under the ring apron and pulled out a kendo stick. He turned around and cracked it right over Holly's head with a wicked thud. Vlad then rolled the busted open Holly into the ring as blood stained the mat. Vlad the pulled a table out and slid it into the ring. He pulled out a lighter and lit the table on fire!

Holly then pulled Vlad off the fiery wood and covered him for the 3 count. Match Time: 10:29 Cole: "Oh my god, I can't believe what we just saw"! "HOLY SHIT" CHANTS AROSE FROM THE ROCKUS CROWD.
