PRIMETIME's MONTAGE ROLLS WITH "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYING. THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AS ORANGE FIREWORKS AND PYRO LIGHT IT UP. "JESSE" CHANTS RING THROUGH THE BUILDING.

Michael Cole: "Welcome home Jesse! What a response for the former Governor of Minnesota as we are live for PrimeTime"!

"619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDER THE ENTRY WAY. CARNEY THEN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP SECONDS LATER WHEN "LOSSE" BY EMINEM HITS. HE HAS THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Jesse Ventura: "It's damn good to be back Cole in the land of a thousand lakes and tonight, we heat my hometown up because MeltDown is getting very close"!

Cole: "Tons of action tonight including Brock Lesnar versus Essa Rios and Jordan Rockwell versus Guido Maritato of the FBI but right now, two of the Four Elements are kicking things off"!

"3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS, LEADING JAMAL AND ROSEY OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Ventura: "They may be in the Four Elements together Cole but one of them is th Lightheavyweight champion and the other is the number one contender"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH THE MELTDOWN LOGO ON IT SHOWING REY MYSTERIO ON ONE SIDE AND CARNEY WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ON THE OTHER.

Cole: "That's why in just under ten days, Carney will put that gold on the line against Rey Rey but tonight, they've got almost eight hundred pounds of mass to deal with"!

Ventura: "Eight hundred mean pounds of mass Cole"!

Cole: "Carney defeated Jamal in singles action last week but he'll have to rely on Mysterio's element if you will to help him to victory tonight"!

Rey Mysterio and Carney vs. Jamal and Rosey

Obviously the plan of Jamal and Rosey was to slow the lightning quick duo of Carney and Mysterio down but they had a lot of trouble doing so. After a Mysterio dropkick to Rosey's knee, Carney came off the middle turnbuckle with a nice bulldog. Jamal came from behind with a clothesline but Carney ducked and Rey used a drop toe hold, putting him down right on the turnbuckle. Jamal rolled over only to have Rey hit him with a bronco buster that the crowd really enjoyed. But after catching Carney in mid air off a cross body block attempt, Rosey just tossed him right at Mysterio. Both men got up but Jamal charged in with an avalanche, squashing them both in the corner. Jamal then waxed Carney with a superkick as Rosey elevated Rey with a bacl body drop. Jamal topped Carney but somehow, he kicked out at 2. Jamal then whipped him to the ropes and went for the throw up samoan drop but Carney turned it into a nice dropkick in mid air. He then made it over to the corner and tagged in Rey who hit the ring, sticking and moving against the big Jamal. Rosey tried to catch Mysterio from behind but drilled Jamal instead with a clothesline. Rey and Carney then took Rosey out with a double spinwheel kick which was a thing of beauty. Rey then hit Jamal with a 6-1-9 to the body and Carney came off the top rope with a missile dropkick as he was doubled over. Rey then leaped onto the ring ropes and came off, "dropping the dime" before Carney rolled him over for the 1.....2.......3.

Match Time: 7:27

"LOOSE" BY EMINEM PLAYED LOUDLY AGAIN AS CARNEY AND MYSTERIO CELEBRATED TO AN ECSTATIC CROWD.

Cole: "What a combination these two make! You gotta give them that Jesse, they round out the Four Elements quite well"!

Ventura: "They may Cole but what's gonna happen when they go one on one? That title is all that'll be on either man's mind"!

BACKSTAGE....

SHANE THOMPSON IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE WHEN SEAN O'HAIRE COMES UP IN A TRENCH COAT.

Sean O'haire: "Ha, ha, ha, you ready for our match tonight"?

Shane Thompson: "Dam right I am".

O'haire: "Ya know, when you came into this company, I saw potential in you. But now that it's been revealed that you're not crazy and you never were, you're nothing".

O'HAIRE WALKS AWAY, HEADING TOWARDS THE RING.

Thompson: (to himself) "We'll see about that".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF ACTION FIGURES IS SHOWN. THE NEXT SERIES WILL BE MADE THROUGH THE JAKKS STYLE.

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

A CORD STRIKES AND THE BOOS IMMEDIATELY START AS BROCK LESNAR COMES OUT WITH BATISTA AND SABLE. BROCK HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND SABLE IS HOLDING BATISTA's IC TITLE BELT.

Ventura: "Here comes the pain and a lot of it"!

Cole: "PrimeTime's two man power trip is getting stronger by the week Jesse and the question persists, who can stop these guys"?

Ventura: "Well the question I have right now is why they are getting booed. Brock Lesnar has ties to this great state and I just can't figure this out".

Cole: "Can you blame them Jesse?! In recent weeks, they have manhandled guys like Nova and Essa Rios and done everything in their power to take over this great show"!

Ventura: "Well Essa Rios is gonna be manhandled again later but let's see what they've got to say".

Brock Lesnar: "First off, I'd like a round of applause for the new Intercontinental champion Batista.

LESNAR AND SABLE CLAP BUT THE ENTIRE CROWD JUST BOOS AS BATISTA HOLDS THE BELT UP.

Now, on to other things. Last week, we came out to help our good friends the FBI with a little problem they have. But they're gonna take care of Jordan Rockwell, Rhyno and the Ultimo Dragon at MeltDown. So I got to thinkin', this is where we can take care of the two guys who decided to stick their nose in our business. Chris Benoit, Dylan Jansens, how bout it"?

Cole: "They're challenging the tag team champs"?

Lesnar: "You two versus me and Batista at MeltDown for your tag team titles".

Ventura: "I'd say he just did"!

"HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A HUGE REACTION.

Cole: "There's no way Shane's just gonna give them that match! It's obvious what they're trying to do"!

Shane McMahon: "Oh, since you guys are so powerful now, you think you can just go and make any match you want huh?

LESNAR AND BATISTA BOTH NOD THEIR HEADS YES.

Well you're wrong. And even though you guys are nowhere near the number one contendership for those titles, you have given me an idea. We're gonna add the former champions, Bradshaw and Chris Tirpak to this match. Then, we're gonna put all the titles on the line. So in other words, if Tirpak pins Jansens for instance, they get their tag team titles back or if one of you pins Chris Benoit, you're the new champions.

LESNAR AND BATISTA GET SMILES ON THEIR FACE.

But..... let's say Dylan Jansens were to pin Batista. Well then not only do they retain the tag team titles, but he wins the Intercontinental title at the same time"!

Ventura: "He can't do that"!

Cole: "The crowd seems in favor of that idea"!

Shane: "And Brock, the same things go for your Universal title. If any of them were to pin you, we'll have a new Universal champion!Oh and one other thing. Good luck, you're gonna need it"!

"HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AGAIN.

Ventura: "This is not fair Cole! They're gonna have four guys gunnin' for them"!

Cole: "It's gotta be one of the most interesting matches in recent memory but I gotta say, Brock and Batista have made it this way on their own"!

BACKSTAGE....

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS COMES ACROSS LOW KI.

Christopher Daniels: "Low Ki... nice to see you again".

Low Ki: "The Fallen Angel, one of my toughest opponents".

Daniels: "And being one of your toughest opponents, I know your abilities. But this company would prefer to hold those abilities back for someone far less entertaining. Come, I'll show you a perfect example".

DANIELS WALKS AWAY AND LOKI FOLLOWS.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE LIGHTS GO DIM AND A SPIDER WEB APPEARS ON THE PRIME TRON AS SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC HITS.

Cole: "Christopher Daniels has come here with some sort of agenda Jesse and I've yet to figure it out. It has been confirmed that he will meet Travis Wakeman one on one at MeltDown but this Saturday on Saturday Night's Main Event, he will have his debut match".

Ventura: "Watch it O'haire"!

FROM BEHIND, O'HAIRE IS SNUCK UP ON BY SHANE THOMPSON AND THEN RUNS HIM INTO THE STEEL POST.

Cole: "Thompson apparently took offense to the comments made earlier by O'haire and this is underway"!

THOMPSON ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING AND THE BELL SOUNDS.

"Awesome" Shane Thompson vs. Sean O'haire

This was a fabulous match as O'haire quickly made up for the bad start when he caught Thompson with a spinning back hand to the gut followed by 2 forearm shivers. He then whipped him to the ropes and elevated him way up into the atmosphere with a backbody drop. O'haire kept the pressure on, kicking Thompson square in the chest when he tried to sit up. O'haire delivered a similar kick to the back and then stomped right on his face. O'haire then looked for a high impact move, setting Thompson on the top rope. He grabbed him by the arms, looking for a Razor's Edge powerbomb but Shane slipped off and ducked an ensuing clothesline before catching him with a spinning heel kick. Shane then hit a nice srpingboard elbow drop before whipping O'haire to the ropes. But O'haire leapfrogged him when he put his head down too early and came an an immediate stop. When Thompson turned around, O'haire pasted him with a hook kick. He quickly went for a cover but Thompson got a shoulder up at 2. O'haire then delivered a fallaway slam and went for the cover again but again, Thompson got up at 2. Frustrated with Thompson's resilience, O'haire whipped Shane in and went for a jumping roundhouse but Shane saw it coming and moved before bouncing into the ropes and exploding through O'haire with a huge superkick that brought oohs and ahhs out of everyone in the crowd. Thompson then wasted no time hitting the "Crash N' Burn" and hooking the near leg of O'haire to get the pin.

Match Time: 8:52

Cole: "Well he may not be crazy but he just picked up perhaps the biggest win of his career"!

Ventura: "That's an upset Cole! Sean O'haire has been upset by Thompson"!

AS THOMPSON LEFT AWAY LOOKING, O'HAIRE STOOD ON ONE KNEE WITH AN EVIL SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Cole: "But he's smiling after a loss? Talk about weird".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

AN AD FOR BLIND DATE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR TRUTH.COM

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

ROB VAN DAM IS IN HIS DRESSING ROOM READING THE MELTDOWN EDITION OF THE TWF MAGAZINE WHEN CHRISTOPHER DANIELS AND LOW KI COME UP.

Daniels: "See, this is what I'm talking about. You don't get to showcase your talents because of guys like this".

RVD SETS THE MAGAZINE DOWN AND STANDS UP.

Rob Van Dam: "Excuse me, guys like what? Dude.... I'm a former Universal champion. What have you two done, beat everyone in SMW"?

Daniels: "Typical answer from a typical superstar. You see RVD, you don't have the x factor like someone like Low Ki does. But Low Ki doesn't get to go out there night in and night out so that maybe one day, he'd be Universal champion too".

RVD: (laughs) "Are you kidding? Champion of an imaginary universe maybe".

JUST THEN, LOW KI STEPS BACK AND PUTS RVD DOWN WITH A VICIOUS KICK TO THE FACE. DANIELS CLASPS HIS HANDS TOGETHER, AS IF TO PRAY.

Daniels: "Our work here is done. We can only hope the powers that be take notice.

THEY START TO WALK OUT WHEN DANIELS LOOKS AT THE MAGAZINE RVD WAS READING AND PICKS IT UP AND TEARS IT IN HALF AND DROPS IT TO THE FLOOR.

Yes, our work here is done".

AS DANIELS LEAVES THE ROOM, THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON THE TORN MAGAZINE, SHOWING IT HAD TRAVIS WAKEMAN ON THE COVER.

"LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND JAMIE NOBLE COMES OUT WITH MATT HARDY.

Ventura: "I like this Christopher Daniles Michael. He's gonna bring things to Shane McMahon's attention that should've been brought up months ago".

"STAND BACK.... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" LEADS INTO THE DYNAMIC DUO's MUSIC AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.

Cole: "Well right now, Jamie Noble is gonna face The Cyclone in the battle of sidekicks but this Saturday on Saturday Night's Main Event, The Hurricane will meet Matt Hardy one on one".

Ventura: "The original Mattitude imploded all because The Hurricane didn't want to be a sidekick. But he's gonna see Jamie Noble go way further than him because he believes in the force that is Mattitude"!

Cole: "Well The Hurricane has found a pretty good partner in Cyclone himself".

Jamie Noble w/ Matt Hardy vs. Cyclone w/ Jamie Noble

The bell sounded and the two locked up. Cyclone threw Noble to the mat and did a superhero pose. They locked up again and Noble used a nice go behind before giving Cyclone a forearm to the back of the head. Noble then did a pose of his own but got a bunch of boos from the crowd. On the third collar and elbow tie up, Cyclone whipped Noble to the mat with back to back arm drags before placing a nice dropkick on him. Cyclone then hooked him up and hit a nice vertical suplex. He then bounced off the ropes looking for a big elbow drop but Noble rolled out of the way. Noble then kicked him in the gut and whipped him to the ropes. He put his head down too early and Cyclone hit a swinging neckbomb. He made the cover and had about a 7 count but Matt Hardy had referee Mike Sparks distracted. The Hurricane came over and pulled Matt away, starting a trade off of right hands. In the ring, Noble countered a hurricanrana attempt with a powerbomb. He pulled Cyclone up and whipped him to the ropes but Cyclone ducked a clothesline and hit a jumping enziguri. He went for the cover and Sparks made the 1......2....., but Noble kicked out just in time. Noble then reversed an irish whip but put his head down too early and Cyclone floated over him with a sunset flip. But Noble held his balance and sat straight down, pinning Cyclone's legs way back to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:57

"LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" HIT AS MATT HARDY PULLED NOBLE OUT OF THE RING AND THE TWO LEFT TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Ventura: "The Dynamic Duo has lost this episode Cole"!

Cole: "Jamie Noble has escaped with the win and Cyclone can't believe it"!

Ventura: "It's because of Mattitude! And Saturday night, same Matt time, same Matt channel, Matt's gonna do it to the Hurricane! (laughs)

BACKSTAGE.... DRESSING ROOM...

JORDAN ROCKWELL IS TAPING HIS WRISTS AND THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS WHEN LITA IS SHOWN SITTING NEXT TO HIM.

Lita: "You better be careful out there. You know how the FBI operates".

Jordan Rockwell: "We'll be fine. Starting with Guido tonight, we're gonna take their little opeartion out".

OTHER SIDE OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA....

THE ULTIMO DRAGON IS TALKING WITH A JAPANESE STAGEHAND WHEN GUIDO MARITATO COMES FROM BEHIND AND TRIES TO DE-MASK HIM. THE DRAGON FIGHTS HIM OFF AND GUIDO TAKES OFF RUNNING. ULTIMO FOLLOWS BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A TRAP WHEN FRANKIE KAZARIAN AND JOHNNY STAMBOLI COME FROM AROUND THE CORNER AND THEY JUMP HIM. AFTER SEVERAL HARD SHOTS AND STOMPS, THE FBI LEAVES HIM LAYING.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, BRADSHAW IS SHOWN IN THE RING WITH CHRIS TIRPAK AND "TNT" BY AC/DC IS PLAYING.

Cole: "There you see the former tag team champions who will take part in the PrimeTime main event at MeltDown and Jesse, one of these men could be Universal champion".

RANDY ORTON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH RIC FLAIR TO A MIXED RESPONSE.

Ventura: "Speaking of Universal champions, this man here is destined to hold that title one day Cole, especially with Ric Flair in his corner"!

Cole: "This will be Orton's first match on PrimeTime and this is a match that I don't think favors Orton. He's gotta deal with three hundred plus pounds of Texan"!

Ventura: "Bradshaw is similar in size to Bob Orton Cole, kinda come from the same mold but I'm sure Orton has a brilliant strategy".

Randy Orton w/ Ric Flair vs. Bradshaw w/ Chris Tirpak

Orton was overmatched in power and after catching him with a big boot, Bradshaw wore Orton down with sveral hard forearms to the back before catching him with his fallaway slam. Bradshaw then got into a 3 point stance and charged Orton but Orton was alerted by Flair and he caught him with a drop toee hold right into the turnbuckle. He then whipped him to the ropes and caught him with his perfect dropkick. After a scoop slam, Orton went to the top rope and came off with a gorgeous cross body block to get the 1......2......, but Bradshaw was able to kick out. Orton tried to keep the pressure on but when he came off the ropes, Bradshaw lifted him into the air and he landed flat on his face. Bradshaw pulled him up and raised a finger in the air, getting the crowd behind him. But Flair got on the apron. Bradshaw went over and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him over the ropes and into the ring. But when he turned around, Orton rolled him up with a small package to get the 1.....2....3.

Match Time: 7:12

Ventura: "That's it Cole! What a samrt move by Orton after Bradshaw took his eye off the ball"!

Cole: "Well give a big assist to Ric Flair but nonetheless, a good start to the PrimeTime career of Randy Orton"!

ORTON HELPS FLAIR UP THE RAMP AS AN ANGRY TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW LOOK ON INSIDE THE RING BEFORE THE SHOT FADES OUT.

A COMMERCIAL FOR LYSOL IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR HOTWIRE.COM

RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, RHYNO IS APPROACHED BY A STAGEHAND.

Stage hand: "Rhyno, Rhyno, someone is breaking into your car"!

RHYNO TAKES OFF AND RUNS THROUGH THE EXIT DOORS THAT LEAD TO THE PARKING LOT. BUT AFTER WALKING ABOUT 10 FEET, HE IS AMBUSHED BY THE FBI WHO BEAT HIM DOWN JUST AS THEY DID THE ULTIMO DRAGON.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD HITS AND RAVEN COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Cole: "Back on PrimeTime folks and we are ready for what should be a knock down, drag out brawl but Jesse, someone has gotta stop the FBI"!

Ventura: "They're on a mission Cole! This is nothin' compared to what they'll do at MeltDown"!

"SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS AND THE BEAST FOLLOWS THE 13th APOSTLE DOWN THE RAMP.

Cole: "It was just last week that this man answered the open challenge of Bahamut and that's why this Saturday night on Saturday Night's Main Event, Bahamut and The Beast will go one on one"!

Ventura: "Raven's gota lot of unfinished business with The Beast himself Michael! If you think about it, you can almost directly relate the fall of Raven Enterprises to this man! It all went downhill when he turned down Raven's offer to join"!

Cole: "And I don't think he regrets his decision one bit".

The Beast w/ The 13th Apostle vs. Raven

The 13th Apostle was giving The Beast some last minute instructions when Raven attacked him from behind. After 2 knees to the sternum, Raven hit him with about 5 haymakers. The Beast shook it off and when Raven charged in, he dropped him with a clothesline. The Beast then picked Raven up with a gorilla press and slammed him to the mat. Raven rolled out of the ring to regroup but The Beast followed. After a double sledge to the back, The Beast went for an irish whip but Raven reversed it and sent him hard into the ring steps. Raven then pulled him up and delivered his russian leg sweep into the barricade. Raven rolled into the ring and The Beast slowly got up and followed. Raven stomped away at The Beast and kicked him into the corner before blatantly choking him with both hands. After referee Jim Korderas pulled him off, Raven pulled the flannel he had wrapped around his waist and choked him with the too. But The Beast seemingly got stronger and stood up with the flannel still around his neck. He flung Raven over his shoulders and then kicked him right in the face. The Beast then whipped him to the corner and followed in with a hard clothesline. He whipped him to the opposite corner and charged in but Raven moved and he posted his left shoulder. Raven then locked him in for the "Raven Effect" but The Beast lifted him up and dropped him with a spinebuster. That led to a hard running powerslam and The Beast looked over at the 13th Apostle who gave him a thumbs down sign. The Beast got a far away look in his eyes before picking Raven up and dropping him with the devastating "Vengeance". He topped him and got the 3 count for a convincing win.

Match Time: 8:12

Cole: "The Beast keeps rolling here on PrimeTime as he has laid waste to Raven"!

Ventura: "Well let's see him do that to Bahamut! Frankly, I don't see it happening Cole".

Cole: "Well here's his chance.... look out"!

BAHAMUT ENTERED THE RING FROM BEHIND BUT THE BEAST TURNED AND CAUGHT HIM WITH A BIG RIGHT HAND. THE TWO CONTINUED TO BRAWL BACK AND FORTH UNTIL BAHAMUT CHARGED HIM AND WAS BACKDROPPED OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR.

"SEEK AND DESTROY" HIT AND THE 13th APOSTLE GOT INTO THE RING AND HELD THE BEAST BACK AS BAHAMUT POINTED AT HIM AND MOUTHED THE WORD "SATURDAY".

Ventura: "I can't wait to see this one on Saturday Cole! They're gonna mame each other"!

Cole: "That is gonna be a pure war Jesse! Bahamut's getting tested already here on PrimeTime"!

PARKING LOT....

JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES UPON A FALLEN RHYNO WHO IS SURROUNDED BY TWF OFFICIALS. ROCKWELL KNOCKS OVER A SET OF STEEL POLES.

Rockwell: "Damnit"!

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE FBI IS IN THE RING AND THEIR MUSIC IS PLAYING. THEY ARE WATCHING THE WHOLE THING OVER THE MONITOR.

Cole: "Well it's obvious what the agenda was here. They wanted to get Rockwell alone Jesse"!

PYRO EXPLODES AS "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO AN AMAZING POP.

Ventura: "And the plan worked! Now Rockwell's gotta face the music Cole"!

Cole: "Well he's not wasting any time"!

ROCKWELL CHARGED THE RING AND SLID IN. HE WAS MET BY STOMPS FROM MARITATO AND STAMBOLI AND KAZARIAN GOT IN SOME SHOTS AS WELL. UPON SEEING THIS, REFEREE MIKE CHIODA SENT THEM ALL BACKSTAGE TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD. BUT GUIDO MARITATO HAD BEEN GIVEN A BIG ADVANTAGE.

Guido Maritato vs. Jordan Rockwell

Maritato focused on Rockwell's right arm, trying to render it ineffective but Rockwell did a good job of fighting him off. After catching him coming in with a back elbow in the corner, Rockwell drilled him with a clothesline. He immediately locked in the Tranquilizer but Maritato managed to get to the ropes. Rockwell moved in on him but Guido got in a thumb to the eyes. He then dropped him with a DDT before going to the top rope. He came off with a missile dropkick that actually connected with his right shoulder. Rockwell went to the mat in pain but Maritato covered him and just narrowly missed a pin. Seeing an oppurtunity, Guido went for the "Areevaderche" but Rockwell threw him across the ring. Guido landed on his feet and went for a clothesline but Rockwell ducked and delivered "Extreme Measures" to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:59

Cole: "Despite everything against him, Rockwell has prevailed here"!

Ventura: "That's only one man though Cole! There's more members of the FBI and Rockwell and company will have to deal with them all at MeltDown"!

Cole: "Maybe so, but if any of them run into Extreme Measures, it's lights out"!

PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..... BACKSTAGE....

RICK MARTEL IS GETTING READY IN THE MAKEUP ARTIST's CHAIR.

Makeup Artist: "There, looks good, you're all set".

RETURN FROM BREAK....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE SET OF THE FASHION SHOW IS SHOWN AND RICK MARTEL's MUSIC IS PLAYING.

Rick Martel: "People, pay close attention. You people here in Minneapolis could use some fashion advice. So I am gonna give you some".

THE CROWDS BOOS QUICKLY TURN TO CHEERS WHEN "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT.

Cole: "Thank god".

WAKEMAN WALKS ONTO THE SET.

Martel: "Travis Wakeman. First off, let me say thank you for being on the fashion show tonight but please, don't interrupt me again".

Travis Wakeman: "Don't push it tonight Martel. You invited me on here tonight, what do you want"?

Martel: "Fiesty huh? Well actually, I wanted you to take a look at this".

THE PRIMETRON SHOWS FOOTAGE OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN GETTING PINNED BY BATISTA LAST WEEK.

Cole: "Martel is just rubbing it in Jesse".

Wakeman: "What that piece of footage failed to show is that piece of crap Chris Daniels coming out and costing me that match"!

Martel: "Well before you get all worked up, I'd like you to take a look at some real beauty Wakeman. Spin for him Nidia".

NIDIA COMES OVER AND SPINS AROUND IN FRONT OF WAKEMAN.

Wakeman: "I'm not interested, trust me".

Martel: "You oughta be".

MARTEL POINTS BACK AT THE PRIMETRON.

Cole: "Oh my god"!

LIVE ACTION IS SHOWN OF CHRIS DANIELS STANDING WITH TRISH STRATUS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

Chris Daniels: "Think about it Trish, you could be so much more here in the TWF. But all Wakeman wants you to be is his valet, his.... his....

Trish Stratus: "Don't say it".

Daniels: "Just think about it..... okay".

DANIELS KISSES TRISH's HAND AND WALKS AWAY.

Ventura: "Wow"!

WAKEMAN LEAVES THE SET AND TAKES INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

Cole: "That is ridiculous! Daniels must want to have a short career here in the TWF and if Wakeman finds him back there, he may get his wish"!

Ventura: "But think about it Cole! It's all true"!

TWF RE-WIND

SHOWS ESSA RIOS' SURPRISING BROCK LESNAR DURING HIS PROMO LAST WEEK.

A CORD STRIKES AND THE MUSIC OF BROCK LESNAR PLAYS HIM OUT TO THE RING. THE UNIVERSAL TITLE IS AROUND HIS WAIST.

Ventura: "I'd hate to be in the shoes of Essa Rios"!

Cole: "Well put yourself in them for a second Jesse. This man and Batista broke the collar bone of Nova! A man who helped Rios out here, most notably teaching him a little english and he is out for a good while and for what? Rios is just defending his friend"!

ESSA RIOS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP.

Ventura: "Unfortunately for Rios, he could join him on the shelf in about five minutes"!

Non-Title: Universal champ Brock Lesnar vs. Essa Rios

Rios slid into the ring and ducked a clothesline, catching Lesnar with a nice dropkick. He followed right up with some quick right hands and then bounced off the ropes, hitting a wheel kick that knocked him into the corner. Rios climbed up holding Brock's arm, looking for his circus armdrag but Brock caught him and dropped him with a double powerbomb. He then whipped him to the ropes and lifted him way into the air, pushing him into the mat on his way down. Smelling blood, Brock picked Rios up on his shoulders and delivered the "F5". He then made a nonchalant cover for the win.

Match Time: 3:19

Ventura: "That's all it takes Cole! Lesnar is unstoppable"!

Cole: "Is that the fate of either Chris Tirpak, Bradshaw, Dylan Jansens or the rabid wolverine Chris Benoit? MeltDown will reveal that answer"!

BACKSTAGE....

Lita: "Hi babe, I've been waiting for you. I could swear I felt the baby kick".

Frankie Kazarian: "Is that right"?

LITA QUICKLY STANDS UP AND TURNS AROUND. SHE SEEMS FRIGHTENED.

Lita: "What do you want"?

KAZARIAN MOVES IN ON HER AND BACKS HER UP AGAINST THE WALL.
