Attendance: 11,286
THE OUTSIDE OF THE TWF LIVEWIRE INN IS SHOWN AND THE CAMERAS THEN ZOOM INSIDE AS HUNDREDS OF SCREAMING TWF FANS ARE SHOWN HAVING A GREAT TIME. AL SNOW AND THE HONKY TONK MAN THEN APPEAR ON STAGE. Al Snow: "Hello and welcome to the increasingly popular Uprising where we count down to PrimeTime tonight and Honky, you gotta be looking forward to that"! Honky Tonk Man: "Oh you better believe it, we all know that PrimeTime is my favorite show but we've got some great action tonight on Uprising and not to mention the fact that the greatest of all time is right here tonight"! Snow: "Who"? HTM: "Me"! Snow: "Shhh, let's get down to the ring". THE CAMERA THEN PANS DOWN THE STAIRS WHERE A RING SITS AND THE FANS START TO GRAB SEATS AROUND IT AS THE ACTION BEGINS. Kid Gundam and Hayabusa w. Jim Cornette vs. Evolution This was a fast paced match that featured several big spots and it looked like Evolution would pull the win off but Jim Cornette took advantage of an inexperienced referee and distracted him as Gundam tossed Hayabusa his lightheavyweight title belt and he decked Frankie Kazarian to get the 3 count and the win. "Universal" Al Laiman vs. Jamie Noble Not much was expected out of this match but these two proved all doubters wrong with a back and forth affair that included eight 2 counts. But after countering the tiger driver with a backdrop, Laiman hit the "Flamethrower" to put Noble away. Jamal and Rosey vs. Bryan Danielson and Shawn Evans Evans and Danielson looked to make the most out of their oppurtunity but they were abused by Jamal and Rosey who made mince meat out of them. After a reverse gas mask by Rosey on Evans, Jamal hit Danielson with a throw up samoan drop and they pinned them simultaneously. Masahiro Chono and The Great Muta vs. The Psych Ward This was an awesome tag team match that had no shortage of action. After a double flapjack on Chono, the Psych Ward seemed to have things well in hand when Muta took Breakdown over the top rope with a spin kick. He then landed on him with a flying plancha as Crazy Shane ascended the turnbuckle and came flying off with a body press on Chono. But Chono used Shane's momentum against him to roll through it and he had tremendous leverage, enough to get a 3 count. Snow: "These people can't get enough Honky! Just wait until PrimeTime starts"! HTM: "Great action on Uprising tonight and what about those two poor kids who had to face Jamal and Rosey"? Snow: "Hey they fought their hearts out and my hat is off to them. I just hope they can continue their careers whereever it was they were performing". HTM: "Well it's about that time and I'm sorry for not performing for y'all, maybe next time". Snow: "No, definitely not. PrimeTime is up next folks, don't go away"! THE SCREEN FADES OUT AND THEN THE TWF LOGO FLASHES ACROSS BRIEFLY BEFORE THE PRIMETIME LOGO APPEARS. RIGHT AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, BATISTA IS SHOWN SITTING IN SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE. Shane McMahon: "Look, you got the win over Rhyno at WrestleMania, you deserve this. Don't worry about what Drew Blood says, how many times has he said he doesn't need you"? Batista: "Alright, thanks". BATISTA GETS UP AND LEAVES AS PRIMETIME's MONTAGE ROLLS AND "RAP SUPERSTAR" HITS. THE ARENA IS THEN SHOWN AS ORANGE FIREWORKS POUND OFF ON THE SET. Michael Cole: "We are just miles away from the site of WrestleMania 4 and we are ready to start on another road! Welcome to PrimeTime fans Michael Cole alongside Josh Matthews who is a temporary fill in here and there is a search ongoing for a full time replacement but Josh, I just as soon do this with you". Josh Matthews: "Well thanks Michael it's great to be here and I can't wait to get into the swing of things tonight as I watch PrimeTime on a regular basis from the comfort of my own home". THE LIGHTS GO DIM AND THE IMAGE OF BLOOD DRIPS OFF THE PRIME TRON AS DREW BLOOD's MUSIC HITS AND HE SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP WEARING HIS BLACK CLOAK. Cole: "Here comes the former Universal champion and Josh, what a match it was between this man and Rob Van Dam at WrestleMania, they fought a classic but what is he doing out here tonight"? Matthews: "What I wanna know is what Shane was telling Batista at the top of the broadcast"! Drew Blood: "Time and time again, I have accused this company of cheating me out of what I deserve. Rob Van Dam, you wrestled a great match at WrestleMania and you beat me, yet, I have no rematch tonight or any other night from what I hear. (he pulls the cloak off his face and his eyes are wide open) Shane McMahon, I'm not playing games! You get out here and tell me why I don't have a rematch tonight"! Matthews: "He's calling out the boss"! Cole: "I don't know if that's the thing to do. "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. But here he comes"! Shane McMahon: "You've got a valid point Drew, but had you read the contract you signed before WrestleMania, you would have noticed that there was no rematch clause included. So I have set up an eight man single elimination tournament to decide who will be the number one contender to face RVD at Foul Play". THE CROWD CHEERS. Matthews: "Wow, that's great"! Shane: "Now don't get all bent out of shape Drew, I included you in this tournament as well. (Shane turns and starts walking backstage but comes back) Oh and your first round opponent..... Batista"! Matthews: "What"?! "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE WALKS BACK TO A HUGE CHEER AS DREW BLOOD THROWS HIS MIC ON THE GROUND AND STOMPS ON IT, BUSTING IT INTO 2 PIECES. Cole: "Shane McMahon has pulled one over on Drew Blood, putting him against his crypt keeper in the first round"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..... PARKING LOT..... A BLACK STRETCH LIMOSINE PULLS INTO THE ARENA AND THE CROWD INSIDE LOUDLY CHEERS WHEN SABLE STEPS OUT! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL IS SHOWN FOR DEF JAM VENDETTA FOR NINTENDO GAMECUBE FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR MILKY WAY. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, KURT ANGLE's MUSIC AND PYRO HIT AS HE CAME OUT TO A MIXED REACTION AND A BRACKET POPPED UP ON THE PRIMETRON. Cole: "Ladies and gentlemen we're back on PrimeTime and this is a first round match in that tournament that we just heard about from Shane McMahon, here's a look at the bracket". KURT ANGLE VS. CARNEY RAVEN VS. CHRIS BENOIT JORDAN ROCKWELL VS. CHARLIE HAAS BATISTA VS. DREW BLOOD "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Matthews: "Those are some interesting brackets as you see Carney come out for what is gonna be a big challenge for him against Kurt Angle". Cole: "Angle is coming off a huge win over Mr. Wrestling III in that wrestling holds only challenge at WrestleMania and to be honest, I don't see how anyone can beat him right now". #1 Contender tournament 1st Round Kurt Angle vs. Carney As the bell sounded, Carney tried to lock up with Angle but Angle used a go behind into a german suplex and nearly got a 3 count. But after ducking a clothesline, Carney hit a dropkick that knocked Angle into the ropes followed by a flying forearm. He then came flying off the top rope with a spin kick and went for the cover but Angle kicked out. Carney kept the pressure on with a reverse ddt and then tried to plant Angle with a tornado ddt but Angle countered it right into the "Angle Slam" and for good measure, he hit another one to get the 1....2....3. Match Time: 5:26 Cole: "A great effort by a game Carney but Angle is untouchable right now"! Matthews: "Angle has gotta be considered a heavy favorite in this tournament Michael and he will meet the winner of the Chris Benoit-Raven match which will take place later tonight"! BACKSTAGE BROCK LESNRA IS PULLING HIMSELF UP ON A METAL STRUCTURE WHEN CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL COMES UP. Crystal Carmichael: "Hey Brock, good win at Mania". BROCK DROPS DOWN. Brock Lesnar: "Thank you". Crystal: "Well I just got a match with Trish Stratus for later tonight and you know how bad I wanna embarrass that bitch. Now I figured since I helped you, maybe you could return the favor". Brock: "I'll see what I can do". THE SCENE CUTS BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS BRADSHAW AND CHRIS TIRPAK ARE STANDING IN THE RING IN THEIR STREET CLOTHES WITH THE TAG TEAM TITLE BELTS. Bradshaw: "We'd like to be out here tonight celebrating our win at WrestleMania but instead, my partner got some bad news today". Matthews: "Tirpak is in tears Michael". Chris Tirpak: "I know we were on the card to wrestle tonight and I hate to disappoint all you guys, that's why I decided to come out here publicly. (he pauses while tears flow down his cheeks) Today I found out that my brother, who was part of the third infantry division, was killed in the war with Iraq". Cole: "Oh no". Tirpak: "Don't worry, Bradshaw and I will be back defending these titles, it's just my brother and I were very close". Matthews: "I'm sure these people can understand Chris". Bradshaw: "And I got a message to those son of a bitches in Iraq! it's just a matter of time before it's all over for you and when it's all said and done you'll know what it's like to experience American justice"! BRADSHAW TOSSES THE MIC DOWN AND THEIR MUSIC HITS AS HE HELPS TIRPAK OUT OF THE RING. Cole: "A strong message from an always patriotic Bradshaw but our thoughts and prayers are with Chris Tirpak and his family"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... JORDAN ROCKWELLL's DRESSING ROOM.... JORDAN ROCKWELL IS LACING HIS BOOTS WHEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN ENTERS. Jordan Rockwell: "What's up T"? Travis Wakeman: "Not much man, just came to welcome you back to PrimeTime". THEY SHAKE HANDS. Rockwell: "Thanks man, you know this place isn't the same without Mr. Showtime". Wakeman: "Listen man, I want you to know that I never thought you were the one that attacked Trish". Rockwell: "Well I appreciate that. By the way, how are you two doing"? Wakeman: "We're doing a lot better, thanks. Oh, good luck tonight against Haas". Rockwell: "Yeah, it's time for me to focus on getting that Universal strap back". COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE MALIBU's MOST WANTED IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CHARLIE HAAS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE BUT THE BOOS SEEM LOUDER. Cole: "Josh Matthews and Michael Cole back here on PrimeTime and it's back to the tournament Josh"! Matthews: "This tournament will be ongoing all night with three more big matches including this one and this is the perfect oppuertunity for Charlie Haas to showcase his talents which are far from being shown in all". Cole: "Haas is a graduate of Seton Hall where he was a standout amatuer wrestler and in my mind, he's the type of guys who can give Jordan Rockwell a lot of problems". A CLOCK IS SHOWN ON THE PRIMETRON AND IT COUNTS DOWN FROM 10 TO 1 BEFORE IT FLASHES AND THE WORDS "MR. SHOWTIME" APPEAR AS "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A HUGE, HUGE CHEER AND HIS PYRO EXPLODES BEHIND HIM. HE HAS A BANDAGE OVER HIS RIGHT EYE WHICH IS COVERING THE 16 STITCHES HE NEEDED AFTER WRESTLEMANIA. Matthews: "Well here he comes and you can tell by the reaction of the fans, they are just as glad as we all are to see him back on PrimeTime"! Cole: "This is Rockwell's hometown and just like everywhere else we go, the people love him! But take a look at that right eye. That is the results of a brutal Clockwork Orange House of Fun match he and Raven participated in at WrestleMania and Josh, that was crazy". Matthews: "It sure was, one of the more unique matches I've ever seen but you gotta wonder how close to one hundred percent Rockwell really is for this one"? #1 Contender Tournament 1st Round Charlie Haas vs. Jordan Rockwell The bell sounded and the two men locked up. The match quickly went to the mat where the two struggled for position but Haas seemed surprised that Rockwell was keeping up with him. After a standing switch, Rockwell used a quick schoolboy and nearly stole a win. Haas tried to come back with a clothesline but Rockwell ducked and caught him with a kick to the gut followed by a sideslam. Rockwell bounced off the ropes but Haas used a drop toe hold and took it into a side headlock, raring back on Rockwell's head and neck. Haas went after the surgically repaired knee of Rockwell, seemingly trying to set up the "Haas of Pain". After a shin breaker, Haas picked Rockwell's leg up in the air and then just slammed it into the mat. After a snap suplex, he pulled Rockwell to the corner and jumped out of the ring, looking to wrap his leg around the steel post but Rockwell pulled him in and Haas went face first into the steel. He then rolled into the ring holding his nose and Rockwell whipped him to the ropes and drilled him with a flying back elbow. Rockwell kept the offense coming but after ducking a clothesline, Haas hit the Exploder suplex out of nowhere and went for the cover but at the last second, Rockwell got his free leg on the bottom rope to break the count. Flustered, Haas tried to pull Rockwell up but Rockwell was waiting with a Rock Smasher. He quickly made the cover and got the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 7:48 Cole: "Jordan Rockwell has done it! He advances to the second round of this tournament"! Matthews: "A hard fought match for Mr. Showtime but now he's got the mic". Jordan Rockwell: "Tampa, Floridaaaaa!
THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER
Ya know, I'm sitting at home and I'm watching this cross dressing punkass bitch come out here week after week on my show talkin' about what about me, what about Raven? And about your Raven effects and how you wanna leave an indeliable mark on the TWF as you lead all your followers out of the shadows and all this other crap you spit out. First off, make no mistake about it, this is my show and this, (pointing to the ring) this is my house and there ain't nobody and I mean nobody that got the balls to kick me out of my house or to take my place here on my show PrimeTime! Secondly, you wanna try and ruin me and to destroy all that I've done here in the TWF? Well Raven, I can promise the beating I gave you at WrestleMania was nothing compared to the ones you've still got coming!
FANS AGAIN ROAR IN CHEER
Oh no, cause ya see, week after week after week, if I feel like kickin' your dress wearin' ass i will, if I see you out in the street, I'm gonna walk up to you and throw you a beatin'. If you are in line at the grocery store, i'll walk up to you and then I'll throw you a beatin'! Hell, if your takin' a leak in the men's room, I'll walk in and I'll bust your ass in there if I feel like it! You get my point? Cause ya see, fact is from now on you can call me the law and order of PrimeTime and what I say goes for everyone in that locker room no matter who you are, if you get outta line, well then to be very very honest with all of you, it's your asses"!
CHANTS OF "ROCKWELL" RING THROUGH THE CROWD WHEN "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT AGAIN.
Cole: "Well as J.R. would say, business is about to pick up"! Shane McMahon: "Rockwell, calm down a little man, you got Raven. I've been waiting all night for the best oppurtunity to come out here and apologize to you for the way i acted. I;m sorry, I should've believed you had nothing to do with that attack and I was wrong for suspending you. But fact is, Raven and his boys are just getting started and you are one of the keys to me being able to combat them. So what do you say, can we bury the hatchet"?
Rockwell: "First of all, get down here in the ring like a man Shane"! Cole: "Oh this is getting heated, the tension is getting very thick"! Matthews: "the boss has offered his apology which none of us expected". Rockwell: "Shane, to be real honest with you, you can take your apology and go to hell"! Cole: "What"? Rockwell: "Now Raven, I'm tired of your threats, if you got a set, then get your ass out here now"! Matthews: "Now he's calling out Raven"! "WHO BETTA THAN KANYON" HITS AND SHANE BACKS UP AS KANYON COMES OUT. Kanyon: "Rockwell, trust me, what Raven is saying is not a threat, the whole plan is starting to come together. But let's get serious, he has a match later with Benoit to prepare for or else he'd come out and hand you your ass"! Rockwell: "Okay Kanyon, if that's the case, why don't you get down here and hand me my ass? In fact, I'll keep my hands behind my back and you can have one free shot at me"! KANYON WALKS DOWN THE RAMP AND INTO THE RING. Kanyon: "One free shot"? ROCKWELL NODS AND KANYON RARES BACK BUT BEFORE HE CAN DELIVER THE RIGHT HAND, ROCKWELL HITS HIM IN THE FACE WITH HIS MICROPHONE AND THEN DELIVERS "EXTREME MEASURES" AS "ROCK KARD" HITS AGAIN AND THE CROWD COMES TO IT's FEET. Cole: "Jordan Rockwell has hit Kanyon with Extreme Measures! How's Raven gonna respond to this"! Matthews: "Rockwell is standing alone against Raven Enterprises! Is that wise"! Rockwell: "Quote Mr. Showtime..... never more"! Cole: "Rockwell has never backed down from a challenge and he feels like this is his show to carry and he's gonna defend it! You gotta respect that"! BACKSTAGE.... CHRIS TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW ARE GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE ARENA WHEN ARIES SNEAKS UP FROM BEHIND. USING A METAL PIPE AND WEARING HIS ARMY FATIGUES, ARIES SAVAGELY ATTACKS BOTH MEN. Cole: "What the hell was that about"? Matthews: "I have no idea but Aries just went ballistic on Tirpak and Bradshaw"! Cole: "How could he do that after..... my god"! THE CRACK OF A WHIP IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A GROWL AS SABLE's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. Matthews: "Well here's a change of pace"! Cole: "I guess! We've heard about it for the past week fans! Sable has arrived in the TWF"! Matthews: "But why is she hear"? AFTER A LONG OVATION, SABLE BEGINS TO TALK. Sable: "I know, I know, you all wanna know why I am here. Well this company has wanted me for a long, long time and the timing was finally right and I decided it's time to show everyone who invented the term diva in this business. I am here to show that I am the most dominant, most successful female of all time in this industry and trust me, I'll do whatever it takes to show you that. Now you may not like some of my tactics, but fact remains that all you men coooome to see me and all you women..... well you all wanna be me". SABLE's MUSIC HITS AGAIN AND SHE LEAVES TO A GOOD POP WITH A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE. Matthews: "Short but sweet"! Cole: "Sable is gorgeous but what's with the attitude"? COMMERCIAL BREAK.... A COMMERCIAL FOR DRAGONBALL Z IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... TWF RE-WIND SHOWS WHEN LOKI REVEALED HIMSELF AS THE NINJA WHO STOLE DYLAN JANSENS' SACRED KATANA. AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, LOKI's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS WALKING TO THE RING. Cole: "I have been waiting for this one for weeks! Dylan Jansens gets to take out his frustrations on this man"! Matthews: "Well don't take Loki lightly Michael, I have followed this man's career for years and many people call him the best talent in the world that had never been noticed". A BLACK DRAGON APPEARS ON THE PRIMETRON AND "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT TRACK HITS. THE DRAGON BREATHES FLAMES AS DYLAN JANSENS COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "These men were two of the six that went through hell in the first ever TLC match at WrestleMania and what a match it was Josh"! Matthews: "Certainly a landmark match for the TWF and you gotta wonder about the lasting effects on all involved". Cole: "Well he may be aching, but Jansens has been waiting for this one for weeks"! Dylan Jansens vs. Loki Before the bell rang, Jansens used a double leg takedown to get Loki on the mat and then just went to work, unloading some serious haymaker shots before referee Brian Hebner pulled him off. Jansens whipped him to the ropes and caught him with a double sledge and immediately went for the "Dragon Stretch" but Loki's experienced feet helped him to escape when he kicked Jansens in the forearm. The shot dazed Jansens and allowed Loki to pop up and hammer him with some hard knifedge chops. After a snap mare, Loki went for a shining wizard but Jansens ducked and hit a swinging neackbreaker after getting up. He then grabbed Loki's legs and flipped over him into a cover with a bridge and got 1....2...., but Loki escaped just in time. Jansens then went for a suplex but Loki slipped out and pushed him to the turnbuckle before catching him with a shot to the kidneys. This really slowed Jansens down and Loki then teed off on Jansens, kicking him on either side of the body. He then went for an irish whip but Jansens countered and shot him to the corner. But he couldn't run at full speed and Loki moved to the side before catching him with a spinning heel kick to the mouth. Loki then waited for Jansens to get up and when he did, Loki delivered his impressive running cartwheel kick that was right on the money. Loki's eyes then widened as he began to smell blood and when Jansens got to his feet, he scooped him up and delivered the devastating "Ki-Krush Driver" and hooked the leg deep to get the win. Match Time: 8:08 Cole: "Wow". Matthews: "I'm awestruck as well Cole. That was impressive and Loki has proven he is for real". Cole: "Well as if stealing the man's katana wasn't enough, look at this"! LOKI HAD A STEEL CHAIR WHICH HE GRABBED FROM RINGSIDE AND WAS READY TO PULVERIZE JANSENS WHEN CARNEY, REY MYSTERIO AND CHRIS BENOIT RAN OUT FROM THE BACK AND MADE THE SAVE. MYSTERIO CAUGHT LOKI WITH A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST AND WHEN HE GOT UP, BENOIT CLOTHESLINED HIM TO THE FLOOR. Matthews: "Thank goodness for those three". Cole: "Jansens' friends came to the rescue just in time, who knows how much damage Loki would've done"! Matthews: "Well fans the next time the TWF brings you pay-per-view it'll be live from the Target Center in Minneapololis, it's Foul Play"! BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Cole: "And the winner of this tournament will face Rob Van Dam for the Universal title that night, it could be this man"! Matthews: "All eyes have gotta be on this match Michael. Has Shane turned Batista against Drew Blood"? THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE IMAGE OF BLOOD DRIPS OFF THE PRIMETRON AS DREW BLOOD's MUSIC AGAIN HITS. HE COMES OUT WITH A SLIGHT GRIN ON HIS FACE. Cole: "I don't know that Shane turned him on Drew Blood, he may've just opened his eyes a bit"! Matthews: "Well something's up, Drew Blood seems way too confident". # 1 contender 1st Round Drew Blood vs. Batista As soon as the bell rang, the two men stood toe to toe before Drew tapped Batista on the chest with 1 finger and he fell like a ton of bricks. Drew then made a nonchalant cover and raised his arms but referee Mike Chioda waved it off and showed Drew Blood that Batista put his right foot on the rope to stop the count. Batista then ran through him with a clothesline before gorilla press slamming him. Drew then walked right into a hard spinebuster and rolled out of the ring as Batista was on fire. As soon as he realized Batista was going full throttle, a furious Drew Blood walked away as Chioda counted to 10 and raised Batista's arm. Match Time: 3:00 Matthews: "What is going on"?! Cole: "Well Drew Blood thought he had some sort of agreement with his crypt keeper but Batista said the hell with that"! Matthews: "Well Batista has advanced in the tournament by virtue of a count out and things seem to be getting worse for Drew Blood". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE... MATT HARDY AND THE HURRICANE ARE SHOWN BACKSTAGE. Hurricane: "Citizen Matt, I have the perfect way for you to overcome RVD and his legions of fans tonight". Matt Hardy: "How"? THE HURRICANE TAKES OFF HIS CAPE AND HANDS IT TO MATT. Hurricane: "With this". Matt: "Come on man, I don't have time for this! 2003 is to be the year of Mattitude, remember? What have we done to ensure that? Well tonight, that all changes because I am gonna take out RVD! He may be the Universal champion, but he doesn't have near the Mattributes that I do"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE A MAN APART STARRING VIN DIESEL IS SHOWN. PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, DYLAN JANSENS IS SHOWN SITTING ON A BENCH AROUND CHRIS BENOIT, CARNEY AND REY MYSTERIO. Dylan Jansens: "Thanks guys, I needed that tonight". Rey Mysterio: "Hey man, what are friends for"? Chris Benoit: "I guess this is a good time to make it official eh"? Carney: "Sounds good to me. The four elements have formed". THE 4 MEN ALL KNOCK FISTS AS THE SCENE SHIFTS TO RINGSIDE. "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AS MATT HARDY AND THE HURRICANE COME DOWN THE AISLE TO A LOT OF HEAT. Matthews: "The four elements"? Cole: "Well it's no secret that those four guys are great friends away from the ring and it seems they've decided to join forces and with the way things are going lately, I think it's a good idea". Matthews: "Well another thing that's not a secret is the fact the era of Mattitude hasn't gone over quite as well as these two had hoped". "ONE OF A KIND" HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO AN EARTHSHATTERING POP WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "But what a way for Matt Hardy to turn that around tonight if he could beat this man"! Matthews: "All night long we've been trimming down the list of contenders for this man's title in a single elimination tournament but now it's time to see the man himself perform in his first match since winning that title at WrestleMania". Non-Title Match: Matt Hardy w/ The Hurricane vs. Universal champ Rob Van Dam Matt attacked RVD from behind before the bell sounded and hammered away with some stiff right hands. He hit a russian leg sweep and went for a cover only to have RVD kick out at 1. But Matt went for a cover after every offensive move. But after sending RVD to the corner, he charged in and posted his left shoulder when he moved. RVD then hit a spin kick to the jaw followed by a cartwheel moonsault to get a near fall. He then hit Matt with a few straight shots before sending him hard to the corner and following with a monkey flip. RVD then went to the top rope but The Hurricane came running around and grabbed his foot. RVD shook him off but Matt grabbed him by the crotch and launched him across the ring. RVD landed hard on his back but referee Charles Robinson forced The Hurricane to the back. Matt then went to the middle rope and hit his flying legdrop but when he saw that The Hurricane was leaving, he got in Robinson' face. RVD took advantage of Matt's lack of focus with a back footsweep followed by a springboard back kick off the middle turnbuckle. He went for the cover but Matt kicked out at 2. RVD then went for a vertical suplex but Matt blocked it and countered with one of his own. Matt then set RVD up for the "Twist of Fate" but RVD slipped out of his grasp and caught him with a spinning heel kick that found the mark. RVD then hurriedly leaped to the top turnbuckle as the near sold out crowd came to their feet and hit the "5 Star Frogsplash". RVD was a little shooken up after the landing but he rolled onto Matt and got the 3 count. Match Time: 9:13 Cole: "The role continues for RVD as he withstands a strong effort from Matt Hardy and Josh, do you see anyone being able to touch RVD right now"? "ONE OF A KIND" HITS AND ROBINSON HANDS RVD THE UNIVERSAL TITLE. HE THEN POSES A LITTLE FOR THE PSYCHED CROWD. Matthews: "Honestly no I don't. When he's on top of his game, he's as good as there is". BACKSTAGE.... OUTSIDE THE WOMEN's DRESSING ROOM... TRISH STRATUS IS SHOWN WITH TRAVIS WAKEMAN. Travis Wakeman: 'I'm just glad you made the right choice. You know I would never do anything to hurt you". Trish: "I know, I don't know what I was thinking. SHE GIVES HIM A KISS. But let's noy get too mushy, I've got a match. Oh, and I wanna take care of Crystal on my own". Wakeman: "No problem. TRISH SMILES AND STARTS TO WALK AWAY. Trish.... good luck". Trish: "Thank you". BACK AT RINGSIDE, CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO SOME LOUD BOOING. Cole: "It's time for that big divas match that was set up earlier and here comes Crystal Carmichael who was certainly instrumental in Brock Lesnar's win over Travis Wakeman at WrestleMania"! Matthews: "Very true Michael but speaking of divas, what about the arrival or Sable"? "TIME TO ROCK N' ROLL" BY LIL' KIM HITS AND TRISH STRATUS COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "Sable is certainly ready to make an impact on PrimeTime and I'm sure she'll be watching this one"! Matthews: "It was Trish Stratus who defeated Crystal Carmichael just a couple weeks ago, right here on PrimeTime. You know Crystal is thinking about redemption here". Trish Stratus vs. Crystal Carmichael As soon as the bell sounded, Trish ducked a clothesline and caught Crystal with several forearm shots followed by a jumping chick kick. She went for the cover and almost got the win. Trish then set Crystal up for a suplex but Crysal blocked it and picked Trish up onto her shoulder and dropped her shoulder first on her knee, showing a lot of power. Crystal then came off the middle turnbuckle with an elbow drop and went for the cover but Trish was up at 2. Crystal kept the pressure on, not letting Trish get to her feet. But after rolling out of the way of another elbow off the middle rope, Trish grabbed Crystal around the hat and went for the "Stratusfaction" but Crysal countered by launching her across the ring. Crystal then went for a piledriver but Trish blocked it and retaliated with a backdrop followed by another kick to the side of the head but Trish stopped still when she saw the massive Brock Lesnar make his way down the ramp. Crystal came form behind wityh a rollup and got 1....2....., but Trish escaped. Trish then had and irish whip reversed an as she bounced off the ropes, Lesnar grabbed her foot. Trish turned and yelled at Brock but Carmichael came from behind with a shot to the back of the head. She then stuffed her with a piledriver to get the 3 count.

Matthews: "This won't be the first time these two have seen each other in the ring somewhere but you know Shane McMahon has gotta be back there pulling for Benoit". Cole: "Raven Enterprises versus a member of the four elements in this one"! #1 contender tournament 1st Round Raven vs. Chris Benoit This was a hard fought battle in which both men went at it tooth and nail. After getting the better of a struggle on the mat, Benoit hit a gorgeous german suplex out of nowhere before backing Raven into the corner and chopping away at his chest with some fierce knifedges. After a snap suplex, Benoit went for the cover but Raven kicked out at 2. Raven then reversed an irish whip right into a knee in the gut followed by a backdrop suplex. Raven then hit his top rope bulldog, using his knee to drive Benoit's face into the mat. He topped Benoit but only got a 2 count. Raven then went for an irish whip but Benoit ducked a clothesline and hit another german suplex. He then climbed the top rope looking for his diving headbutt but Raven rolled out of the way just in time. He then whipped Benoit into the corner but he went right into referee Earl Hebner. Raven took it as an oppurtunity to cheat and went and grabbed a steel chair. But Benoit ducked a swing and blasted him with 3 knifedge chops before hitting a backdrop suplex of his own. Benoit then picked up the chair and raised it over his head just as Hebner recovered to see what was going on and he called for the bell, DQ'ing Benoit. Match Time: 8:08 Cole: "Oh no, he didn't just DQ the rabid wolverine did he"? Matthews: "I believe so, Raven's been awarded the match". "END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD HIT AS RAVEN RAISED HIS ARMS IN VICTORY AND BENOIT ARGUED WITH HEBNER. Cole: "Well in Hebner's defense, he only saw Benoit with the chair". Matthews: "Watch out"! JUST THEN, RAVEN SPUN BENOIT AROUND AND HIT HIM WITH THE "RAVEN EFFECT" FOR GOOD MEASURE. Cole: "Look at the look in Raven's eyes! Will PrimeTime fall under the Raven Effect"? OFF AIR.....
