AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, FOOTAGE FROM LAST WEEK IS SHOWN, RECALLING THE PSYCHIC READING THAT TOLD RHYNO THERE WAS "GRAVE DANGER" IN HIS FUTURE.

THE MONTAGE FROM PRIMETIME THEN RUNS, SHOWING ALL THE TOP SUPERSTARS WHILE "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. THE BELL CENTRE THEN COMES INTO VIEW BUT THERE IS NO PYRO THIS TIME. THE CAMERA JUST SWIRLS AROUND THE ARENA, SHOWING THOUSANDS OF CRAZY FANS.

Michael Cole: "We are live from Montreal and these fans are ready for what should be a great final stop before TWF Payback"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP SHOWING JON HEIDENREICH ON ONE SIDE AND NAILS ON THE OTHER.

Jesse Ventura: "Raven has given Jon Heidenreich an oppurtunity to make a name for himself but that name might not be the one he wants because it could be victim when he faces the madman Nails"!

ANOTHER PROMO SCREEN IS SHOWN WITH CHAVO GUERRERO ON ONE END AND THE LOGO FOR AAA MEXICO ON THE OTHER.

Cole: "Plus, we've got the challenge issued last week by Chavo Guerrero! We don't know who, but someone from AAA has accepted the challenge!

"YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO "NEVER GONNA STOP" BY ROB ZOMBIE AS EDGE COMES OUT TO AN OUTPOUR OF CHEERS.

But we're starting things off with a huge tag team match and listen to the ovation for one of Canada's own.... Edge"!

Ventura: "I've been looking forward to this tag team matchup Michael because it is going to expose two ongoing fueds here on PrimeTime"!

THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS BRINGING THE BEAST DOWN FROM THE ARENA RAFTERS. THE CROWD IS AWESTRUCK AS HE MAKES HIS DESCENT.

Cole: "You hit the nail on the head there Jesse and I don't know if Edge could've asked for a better partner tonight. This guy is not only mysterious, but one tough competitor".

RENE DUPREE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH JAMIE NOBLE. DUPREE IS WAVING THE FRENCH FLAG.

Ventura: "Well he's been trying to put the spooks into Jamie Noble but I don't think it's been working".

Cole: "What do you mean it hasn't been working? Noble has wanted no part of the Prince".

Ventura: "Well he's out here tonight isn't he"?

Cole: "The Dark Prince is in the ring and Dupree is gonna start it off! This looks to me like a great time for Noble to show he's not intimidated"!

Ventura: "Noble's no idiot Michael, he's choosing his spot".

Edge and The Dark Prince vs. Rene Dupree and Jamie Noble

Dupree locked up with the Prince who seemed to be the stronger of the two, tossing Dupree into the corner. The Prince moved in and threw a right hand but Rene ducked and then tagged him with one of his own before whipping him to the ropes. But the Prince ducked a clothesline and grabbed him around the throat, depositing him with a chokeslam. The Prince then turned and rocked Noble with a right hand. Edge was tagged in and they shot Dupree to the ropes, hitting a back body drop. Edge then pounded him with a clothesline when he got up and went to the top rope. But before he could come off, Noble got back up and pushed him to the mat. Dupree recovered and dropped 2 consecutive elbows across Edge's chest before tagging in Noble. Dupree and Noble then hit a hard double spinebuster and Edge was in pain. This was the move that turned the tide of the match as Dupree and Noble started to work like they were an everyday team. Noble came in and worked Edge's right leg. After hitting a shinbreaker, Noble tried to lock in the "Trailer Hitch" but the Prince acted like he was going to get into the ring and Noble hurried into the corner, tagging in Dupree. Dupree sauntered over and pulled up Edge who promptly rolled him up with a small package getting a 1......2......., but Dupree was up. The Frenchman then put the boots to Edge and whipped him into the ropes. But he missed with a clothesline and Edge flew back with a flying clothesline and both men were down. Edge finally made it over and tagged in the Prince who was all over Dupree. He then went and pulled Noble into the ring and began hammering away on him. But Dupree came from behind with a forearm to the Prince and referee Mike Enos stopped Edge from getting involved. Noble then kicked the Prince right in the groin and Dupree covered him for the 1...........2......., but the Prince was up. Dupree pulled him up and shot him to the corner but the Prince got a foot up in his face followed by a hard clothesline. Noble came into the ring but the Prince recovered and kicked him right in the face. He then tagged in Edge who came in and tossed Noble out of the ring. But Dupree came from behind with a chop block on the same knee Noble worked on earlier. Dupree then scooped Edge up for his modified powerbomb driver but Edge slipped off his shoulders and kicked him in the gut when he turned around before hitting the "Edge-a-Cution" and hooking the leg for the 1..........2.........3.

Match Time: 4:09

Cole: "Edge and the Dark Prince have both just earned a measure of revenge on Dupree and Noble! I don't think Dupree knows what hit him"!

"NEVER GONNA STOP" PLAYED AS EDGE AND THE PRINCE STOOD TALL IN THE RING, WATCHING A RETREATING DUPREE AND NOBLE.

Ventura: "They get the win this time Michael but if you think those two competitors are gonna go away that easily, you're sadly mistaken"!

Cole: "Folks don't go away....we're just gettin' started"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR DR. PEPPER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE".

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

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "EVOLUTION" BY MOTORHEAD IS PLAYING AND THE QUARTET OR BATISTA, RANDY ORTON, RIC FLAIR AND SABLE IS COMING TO THE RING.

Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and it looks like we're about to have some company"!

Ventura: "It's too bad the people here in Montreal are not showing the proper respect that these four deserve".

Cole: "Well Ric Flair has got the microphone so let's hear what he has to say".

Ric Flair: "Montreal..... take a good look! Because you are in the presence of greatness tonight! Batista..... Randy Orton..... the lovely Sable and the Nature Boy......woooooo.....Ric Flair! It don't get no better than that baby! Now, last week, the big man here pinned the number one contender Ultimo Dragon with his devastating powerbomb! So board of directors... take a long look.... because this man should be challenging for the Universal title at Payback"!

Ventura: "That sounds fair to me"!

JUST THEN, "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

Cole: "Wait a minute..... here comes the Locomotive"!

Ventura: "Oh he's asking for it here Michael.... what does he want"?!

Flair: "You better stay back punk..... I told you that last week"!

Strife: "Listen Nature Boy, I know you told me to steer clear of you guys last week..... but fact is, that's a little tough for me. The reason for that is..... those happen to be my tracks that you chumps are on"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS.

Cole: "Oh boy".

Flair: "Chumps? We'll show you chumps..... get your ass down here"!

FLAIR DROPS THE MIC AND TEARS OFF HIS DRESS SHIRT AS STRIFE BEGINS MARCHING TO THE RING.

Ventura: "They're gonna go"!

"END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD HITS AND RAVEN COMES OUT TO A HAORD OF BOOS IN HIS USUAL JEAN SHORTS AND LEATHER JACKET.

Cole: "Oh no, talk about a buzzkill".

Raven: "Hold it right there. Strife, you are not going to put your hands on the legendary Ric Flair right now. That'll have to wait. Because I have just booked a match between you and him for Payback".

THE CROWD CHEERS AS STRIFE NODS HIS HEAD.

Cole: "Oh man, I don't know how well Flair likes that"!

Raven: "But right here tonight, we are gonna have us a little six man tag. It's gonna be Flair, Orton and Batista against Strife, The Ultimo Dragon and Rob Van Dam".

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS AGAIN AS "END OF EVERYTHING" PLAYS. STRIFE JUST LOOKS AT THE FOURSOME SMILING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE.

Ventura: "That's a huge match Michael and we're gonna see it tonight"!

Cole: "Huge match is right, I don't know if the Bell Centre can contain it"!

Ventura: "But what I did want to hear Raven address was the fact that Batista did pin Ultimo Dragon last week"!

TWF RE-WIND

SHOWS ARIES TAKING AN AMERICAN FLAG FROM A FAN LAST WEEK ON DAYTONA BEACH.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, THE MUSIC OF ARIES AND HIROHITO HITS AND THEY COME OUT CARRYING A BLACK FLAG. IT IS THE ONE THEY TOOK LAST WEEK WHICH IS NOW SPRAYPAINTED.

Cole: "Don't tell me that's the flag they took last week".

Ventura: "These guys have desecrated our flag Cole and they have been allowed in this building".

Cole: "I hate to say it, but it sounds like some of these fans are cheering".

Ventura: "These two make my blood boil Cole and I am gonna try my best to keep my cool here".

THE MUSIC OF MARK JINDRAK HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH PAUL LONDON.

Cole: "Carrying the hopes of America tonight will be these two, two men who have been included in the declaration of war by Aries and Hirohito"!

Ventura: "These two have no idea what they're fighting against Cole! Their thoughts are so twisted that thay have become dillusional"!

Cole: "Well that doesn't take away from the fact that these two are both merciless combatants and together, they pose a threat to anyone here in the TWF"!

Ventura: "Well if Paul London and Mark Jinrdak can pull this thing off, I'll be celebrating with them"!

Cole: "Oh Aries and Hirohito just attacked from behind! How typical"!

Aries and Hirohito vs. Mark Jindrak and Paul London

London and Jindrak were in an early hole after the surprise attack but the crowd tried to rally behind them. Once referee Chris Kay got the men to their respective corners, it was the lanky Hirohito picking London apart. London tried to fight back with some kicks but Hirohito just fought him off with some hard chops. After a thrust to the throat, he tagged in the physical Aries who drove his shoulder into the abdomen of London while he was in the corner. He then shot him to the corner and charged in but London moved out of the way and then hit a flying heel kick. London clawed his way to his corner and tagged in Jindrak who was all over Aries with a few right hands and then a big clothesline. Hirohito tried to kick him from the apron but Jindrak caught his leg and pushed him to the floor. After a big dropkick on Aries, he tagged in London who went to the top rope. London came off with a gorgeous shooting star press and had Aries pinned but Kay was tied up with Hirohito. London got up to get Kay's attention but when he went back over, Aries grabbed his throat and pulled himself up, headbutting London to the mat. Aries tagged Hirohito back in and he pounded London with a Mongolian chop. He then bent London awkwardly over his knee, pushing down on his chin and throat area. London kicked up and caught Hirohito in the side of the head to force a break and then he caught him with the dropsault. London tagged in Jindrak and then ran at Aries, knocking him to the floor with a running forearm. London then came at him with a suicide dive but Aries moved. As Hirohito and Jindrak went at it in the ring, Aries grabbed the flag and threw it into the ring. After being hip tossed, Hirohito drove the flag into the esophagus area of Jindrak, prompting Kay to call for the bell.

Match Time: 6:18

Cole: "Referee has asked for the bell here and Jindrak is hurt"!

Ventura: "Okay, someone get out here! Don't let these guys do this"!

HIROHITO AND ARIES WERE LOOKING TO DO SOME MORE DAMAGE WITH THE FLAG BUT THE CROWD BEGAN TO LOUDLY CHEER WHEN CHRIS TIRPAK AND RICK CLARK CAME OUT WITH THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Cole: "Wait a minute, look at this"!

Chris Tirpak: "Hey...... you guys want war?! Well if so, we got a challenge for you! At Payback, you bring that black flag with you and we'll bring our flag! What we're asking for is a tag team flag match because we aren't gonna roll over and let you two terrorize PrimeTime! That's what you guys are.... you are terrorists and you know what America does with terrorists"!

Aries: "You see Tirpak, that is what is wrong with you people. You feel like anyone who is taking a stand against your country's deficiencies is your enemy. We'll accept your challenge and at Payback, it will be this black flag which represents our hatred and our disdain for your leaders and your government that will be waved with pride".

THE MUSIC OF HIROHITO AND ARIES PLAYS AGAIN AND THE 4 MEN GIVE EACH OTHER A LONG STARE.

Cole: "Well Payback just became a lot more interesting because these two teams, filled with complete hate for each other, have agreed to a Flag match"!

Ventura: "I can't wait to be there at Payback Michael because I want to be the one to personally rip that black flag apart"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.....

RAVEN IS SHOWN WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON FROM A MONITOR WHEN TED DIBIASE COMES UP FROM BEHIND.

Raven: "Well if it isn't the Million Dollar Man. Did you bring me some money for my job thus far as acting Enforcer"?

Ted Dibiase: (laughs) "No, no Raven, I didn't. But I must say, you are doing a fabulous job here and that is why I am confident you are going to help me out with a little problem we have".

Raven: "And what might that be"?

Dibiase: "Well, last week, we invited this gypsy to our party and she gave Rhyno some weird reading that he is in danger. Now, I've never believed in that kind of stuff, but Rhyno is a little shook up about it because he says some weird things have been going on with him lately".

Raven: "So how do you want me to help"?

Dibiase: "Well, I want to challenge whoever is messing with him to a match tonight. Him against any one of the Million Dollar Corporation. Now, I fully expect that no one will come out, but if they do, Rhyno is going to be at ringside to personally take care of this person".

Raven: "Hmmm, I like the way you think Ted, I'll make a spot on the show for that match".

Dibiase: (laughs again and sticks a $100 bill in Raven's pocket) "Thanks for your help".

DIBIASE WALKS AWAY AS RAVEN PULLS THE MONEY OUT AND SMILES.

Raven: (to himself) "Glad to be of assistance".

Cole: "Yeah I bet he is".

THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF FIGURES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR KELLOGG's CORN FLAKES.

A JAPANESE TUNE IS HEARD AS HIGHLIGHTS ARE SHOWN OF KID GUNDAM AS A VOICE BEGINS TO SPEAK.

Voice over: "Kid Gundam.......

Former TWF Lightheavyweight and Intercontinental champion. The founder of several mercenary groups in the TWF. Gundam went down with a career threatening illness but now, he is back and he will make it clear that he needs the help of no one. He has vowed to climb to the top of the TWF mountain..........

KID GUNDAM..... RETURNING SOON TO PRIMETIME.

Cole: "Oh I can't wait for that, Kid Gundam has been sorely missed on PrimeTime"!

THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA, SHOWING SHANE THOMPSON.

Ventura: "And there's the man who took his Intercontinental title".

SHANE THOMPSON AND LUTHER REIGNS ARE IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN DYLAN JANSENS COMES UP. REIGNS STEPS IN FRONT OF THOMPSON.

Shane Thompson: "It's okay Luther, I got this.

THOMPSON GETS IN JANSENS' FACE.

Don't tell me you haven't had enough yet Dylan".

Dylan Jansens: "Shane, it's no secret that I don't like you and you don't like me. But as the Intercontinental champion and a damn good prospect to help build the TWF for years to come, I want to see you get a fair shake at Payback. But with the Chosen on the side of Chris Daniels, I don't see that happening".

Thompson: "Ya know Dylan, as much as I appreciate you acting like my father and looking out for me, I don't need it. I have never depended on anyone and I've never needed anyone to look after me. Luther is here because I can't watch my back at all times but trust me, even he knows I could do without him. So you stop worrying about me and you think about winning your first singles title around here".

THOMPSON AND REIGNS WALK AWAY AND ONCE THEY ARE OUT OF SIGHT, THE CAMERAS STAY WITH JANSENS AS HE IS SMASHED FROM BEHIND BY JOHNNY STAMBOLI. STAMBOLI IS ALL OVER JANSENS UNTIL "EL DIABLO" GETS IN, BRAWLING WITH THE BULL. JANSENS GETS UP AND GETS BACK INTO THE MIX AND FINALLY, SECURITY COMES AND BREAKS THEM UP.

Cole: "Now if that doesn't prove that El Diablo is Axl Irvin, I don't know what will"!

Ventura: "Okay Michael, I guess I'll have to finally agree with you on that but what about what Shane Thompson said"?

JON HEIDENREICH's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION.

Cole: "I think it's a little hypocritical to say you don't depend on anyone and yet you're walking around with a three hundred pound bodygaurd but what do I know"?

Ventura: "Well you heard him, he said even Luther knows that Shane could make it without him".

Cole: "So he's just an added bonus, I get it. Well one thing that Jon Heidenreich could sure use here would be a win after Raven gave him this chance to prove himself"!

Ventura: "He has the chance Michael but like I said at the top of the show, he could also become a victim here".

"HELL's GAURDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AND NAILS COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS.

Cole: "The masked mauler Nails is a heartless human being Jesse but a win here for Heidenreich would sure validate the hot streak he's been on"!

Ventura: "It would Michael but this man is no ordinary opponent and his experience will nulify the size advantage the former football player has"!

Cole: "The bell has sounded and it looks like veteran official Mike Chioda has been assigned this one"!

Jon Heidenreich vs. Nails

The two met in the center of the ring and Nails was looking up at Heidenreich. But Nails turned slightly before throwing a right hand that rocked Heidenreich back. But the big rookie fired back and they were trading shots until Nails drove a knee into his gut followed by a headbutt. Nails then grabbed him by the back of the head and tried to ram him into the turnbuckle but Heidenreich blocked it with his foot and rammed Nails in before whipping him to the corner and hitting a back body drop. Heidenreich tried to get the crowd into it as he whipped Nails to the ropes but missed with a clothesline and Nails hit a big DDT after a kick to the gut. He covered him but Heidenreich was up after 2. Nails then hoisted him onto his shoulders for the "Nail Gun" but Heidenreich slipped off and pushed him right into Chioda. Chioda fell back trying to shane it off but Heidenreich threw a clothesline that Nails ducked and he smashed Chioda with it. Nails then went down to his knees and lowblowed Heidenreich before going out and grabbing the timekeeper's chair. He slid it into the ring but Heidenreich beat him to the punch and whipped him to the ropes, catching him with a scrapbuster slam right on the chair. Heidenreich then tossed the chair out of the ring and picked Nails up, hitting a spinning powerbomb as Chioda got up to make the 1........2.......3.

Match Time: 9:00

Ventura: "I hope Chioda reverses that call"!

Cole: "What are you talking about?! Heidenreich pinned him one, two, three"!

Ventura: "Heidenreich pinned him with the use of a chair Michael.... we both saw it"!

HEIDENREICH LEFT ALL FIRED UP WITH HIS ARMS RAISED IN THE AIR.

Cole: "And we both saw Nails as the one to bring it in! It looks to me like Heidenreich just proved himself"!

BACKSTAGE......

REY MYSTERIO GETS A HUGE POP FROM INSIDE THE ARENA AS HE IS SHOWN ON THE PRIMETRON TALKING ON A CELL PHONE. JUST THEN, CHAOS WOLF COMES UP.

Rey Mysterio: "Hey, let me call you back..... okay bye.

HE HANGS UP THE PHONE.

Hey man".

Chaos Wolf: "Rey Mysterio, it's an honor to meet you. I'm.....

Mysterio: "I know who you are, you're the new guy around here. Listen man, I know things have got off to a rough start, but hang in there man, you're gonna go places".

Wolf: "Thanks".

JUST THEN, CHAVO GUERRERO STROLLS UP.

Chavo Guerrero: "Get your popcorn boys, the best Mexican wrestler in the entire world is about to go out there and perform..... Chavo Guerrero".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE AAA MEXICO LOGO IS SHOWN ON THE PRIMETRON AND LATIN LOVER COMES OUT TO LITTLE RESPONSE.

Cole: "I don't know if this Canadian crowd is familiar with this guy, but he is huge with the ladies in Mexico Jesse"!

Ventura: "His name is the Latin Lover and I've heard that".

CHAVO GUERRERO's MUSIC STARTS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS.

Cole: "Since he was traded to PrimeTime, this man has claimed to be the best Mexican wrestler in the world and this challenge is supposed to prove that"!

Ventura: "I admire Chavo Guerrero's confidence Michael but there are many wrestlers from Mexico competiting all over the world"!

Cole: "There's no doubt that Chavo is one of the best but I think he needs to lose the cocky attitude".

Special Challenge

Chavo Guerrero vs. Latin Lover of AAA Mexico

Chavo walked up and just slapped the taste out of Latin Lover's mouth as the bell sounded. Latin Lover fired back with a couple quick rights but Chavo reversed an irish whip and used a drop toe hold into a hammerlock. Latin Lover got to his feet and caught Chavo with a back elbow before hitting the ropes but Chavo drileld him with a dropkick. Chavo then just rubbed Latin Lover's face in the mat in an attempt to humilate him. He then went to the top rope and took a long time up there before coming off with his uncle Eddie's frog splash. But Latin Lover got his knees up and got to his feet, yelling for Chavo to get up. But after blocking a vertical suplex, Chavo kneed Latin Lover in the midsection and picked him up, putting him down with a devastating brainbuster. He then rolled him over and hooked the leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 3:59

Cole: "Chavo has brought an abrupt halt to this match after it looked like he was in trouble".

Ventura: "He won the match and now I'm sure he will continue to call himself the best Mexican wrestler in the world".

Cole: "Well right now, who's to say he's not? But with this new relationship between the TWF and AAA, that may be tested more than Chavo thinks"!

CHAVO LEFT TO HIS MUSIC AND A LOT OF BOOS, TAUNTING THE CROWD AS LATIN LOVER TRIED TO COLLECT HIMSELF.

COMMERICAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR FRONTIER AIRLINES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONEFOR BURGER KING..... HAVE IT YOUR WAY.

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

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING ALONG WITH ESSA RIOS.

Cole: "It's been a wild night on PrimeTime so far fans and we have now been joined by Sean O'Haire and his protege, Essa Rios"!

Ventura: "Sean O'Haire has got the microphone as well Cole so let's listen to what he's got to say"!

Sean O'Haire: "All week long I've been asked, why are you sticking your nose in Travis Wakeman's business. Wakeman, this might be between you and Mr. Vain, but I find it odd that he is willing to put his TWF career on the line and yet, you're not putting anything on the line. So Wakeman, why don't you do what's right and follow suit, putting your career on the line too"!

Cole: "Oh come on, it's Mr. Vain who wants the match so bad"!

O'Haire: "Come on Wakeman, you know how many of the boys in the back would throw a party if you were gone? Face it, you've done everything you were meant to do here. You can't ever win the Universal title again, so why are you still around"?

Cole: "It's called pride, that's why"!

O'Haire: "So Wakeman, right now, I want you to come out to this ring and tell all these people here in Montreal that at Payback, you will be putting your career on the line too"!

Ventura: "He's callin' Wakeman out Michael"!

"MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS ALL NIGHT. HE GETS INTO THE RING AND GETS ANOTHER MICROPHONE.

Travis Wakeman: "You guys would throw a party huh"?

O'Haire: "Oh yeah".

Wakeman: "Well, maybe you're right then".

Cole: "What"?

O'Haire: "I am right Wakeman, it's what everyone wants to see. Let's ask these fans. Do you people want to see Wakeman's career put on the line at Payback"?!

THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS FOR A SOLID 20 SECONDS.

Cole: "I'll take that as a hell no"!

Ventura: "Let's listen Michael".

Wakeman: "It doesn't seem......

Cole: "Oh look out"!

JUST THEN, WAKEMAN IS BLINDISIDED BY MR. VAIN WHO SMASHES HIM WITH A STEEL CHAIR. O'HAIRE AND RIOS SCRAMBLE OUT OF THE RING AS VAIN DOES MORE DAMAGE WITH THE CHAIR, JAMMING IT INTO THE RIB CAGE OF WAKEMAN. HE THEN TOSSES HIM OUTSIDE THE RING.

Ventura: "Look out, they're coming this way"!

VAIN THEN LIFTS WAKEMAN UP ABOVE HIS SHOULDERS AND POWERBOMBS HIM RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE POSITION. "MY WAY" BY LIMP BIZKIT THEN PLAYS AND VAIN JUST STARES DOWN AT A SEEMINGLY UNCONCIOUS WAKEMAN AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS.

Cole: "Mr. Vain has just sent a message before Payback"!

Ventura: "Yeah and it says if you won't put your career on the line, I'll end it for you"!

Cole: "We need some EMT's out here".

BACKSTAGE..... DRESSING ROOM.....

BATISTA, RANDY ORTON AND RIC FLAIR ARE PREPARING FOR THEIR MAIN EVENT MATCH UP.

Ric Flair: "It's almost showtime boys and tonight, we're gonna show those three punks what happens when you mess with real champions! But do me a favor tonight".

Randy Orton: "What's that Ric"?

Flair: "You two take care of RVD and the Dragon and leave Strife for me! I'm gonna make him wish he never came to PrimeTime...... wooooo"!

BACK AT RINGSIDE, TWF AGENTS PAUL ORNDORFF AND ARN ANDERSON ARE HELPING WAKEMAN UP THE RAMP.

Cole: "There you see Travis Wakeman being helped off and Jesse, he continues to clutch his rib cage".

Ventura: "I ntoiced that too Michael and that's not a good sign".

JUST THEN, CLOUDS APPEAR ON THE PRIMETRON AND THEY SLOWLY TURN DARK AS CHRISTOPHER DANIELS' MUSIC HITS.

Cole: "We're ready for our next matchup here but Wakeman's not out of here yet".

DANIELS COMES OUT AND LOOKS AT WAKEMAN BEFORE GOING INTO A LAUGH.

Ventura: "See Michael, that proves Sean O'Haire's point. These guys don't want Wakeman around here"!

Cole: "We all remember the fued those two men had but Jesse, I'm not gonna give in to that. I'm not gonna agree with what Sean O'Haire is saying because I know Wakeman to be one of the most respected men in the TWF".

TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.

Ventura: "Maybe it used to be that way Michael, but I don't know if it is anymore".

Cole: "Tajiri will provide the opposition here and this should be a very interesting match as Daniels has spent a good part of his career wrestling in Japan as the Curry Man and is very familiar with the style".

Ventura: "Daniels has had tremendous success in Japan Michael and I think this will be a great warm up for his match at Payback".

Cole: "Well don't sell Tajiri short, he's much more than a warm up, as you put it"!

"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. Tajiri

Tajiri looked more like the one in line for an IC title shot here as he blasted Daniels with a series of kicks which he could not defend. Tajiri then shot him to the corner and hit a backspring elbow. He then put Daniels up in a tree of woe and went for the sliding baseball kick but Daniels pulled himself up and Tajiri slid crotch first into the steel post. Daniels then pulled him up for a move similar to the Eye of the Hurricane and hooked the leg but could only get a 2 count. He then whipped him to the ropes and went for a dropkick but Tajiri held onto the top rope to stop his momentum and Daniels hit the mat hard. Tajiri then ran over and grabbed his head for a swinging DDT. That led to him sizing the Fallen Angel up for the Buzzsaw Kick but Daniels recognized it and rolled out of the ring. Meanwhile, Low-Ki came out from the other side and once again attacked Tajiri. Referee Brian Hebner saw this and called for the bell but Mortis came out and helped Low-Ki pound Tajiri as Daniels stood and watched, smiling.

Match Time: 2:49

Cole: "I don't know what the deal is with Low-Ki, but this is like three weeks in a row of this"!

Ventura: "Look Michael... at the stage".

SHANE THOMPSON HAD COME OUT WITH LUTHER REIGNS WHO WAS HOLDING THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AND THE TWO JUST LOOKED ON.

Cole: "That is the man who will put the Intercontinental title on the line against Chris Daniels at Pyback".

Ventura: "And he is seeing first hand what his former group will do for their leader, I don't like Thompson's chances Cole".

THE SHOT FADES OUT AS PRIMETIME GOES TO BREAK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR DAIRY QUEEN IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "NORTH SHORE" AND THE NEW REALITY SHOW "THE CASINO".

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

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC PLAYS AND THE SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON THE ENTRANCE.

Cole: "What is this"?!

JUST THEN, A NEW LOOK JORDAN ROCKWELL EMERGES FROM THE BACK, LOOKING JUST AS THE PSYCHIC DESCRIBED. HE HAD DYED BLACK HAIR AND A BLACK BEARD AS WELL AS AT LEAST ONE NEW TATTOO.

Ventura: "Is that Rockwell"?

Cole: "It is Rockwell! We haven't seen him since he was taken out by Rhyno and the rest of Dibiase's Corporation but this must be what that psychic meant! This must be Rhyno's maker"!

Jordan Rockwell: "Dibiase.... I think you know what this means. Not only did you fail to take me out, but you just made things worse for yourself. You see, whether Raven likes it or not, I had a talk with the chairman of the board today, Vincent Kennedy McMahon and he granted me a Stretcher match with Rhyno at Payback"!

Cole: "What?! That's huge Jesse"!

Ventura: "I just don't believe this".

Rockwell: "All I have to do to get that match is win this one. And next time you let me pick my own opponent, be a little smarter about it because Dibiase.... I pick you"!

Cole: "Oh my gosh"!

DIBIASE's LAUGH FILLS THE BELL CENTRE AS "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH RHYNO WHO IS POINTING AT ROCKWELL.

Ventura: "Come on Dibiase, collect yourself and don't let this jerk intimidate you"!

Cole: "Dibiase doesn't look like he wants to get in there... you gotta believe this is the last thing he wanted"!

Jordan Rockwell vs. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase

Dibiase got into the ring but Rockwell was all over him, pounding him in the corner with a succession of right hands until referee Charles Robinson pulled him away. Dibiase was obviously not prepared to compete and could not stop the offense Rockwell came at him with. After a big powerslam, Rockwell locked in the Tranquilizer and Dibiase was ready to tap out when Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore ran out. Rockwell let go of the hold and clobbered Dinsmore with a clothesline that knocked him right off the apron. Conway managed to get into the ring and he hammered Rockwell from behind as Robinson asked for the bell. But Rockwell caught Conway charging in with a tilt-a-whirl slam and then watched Dibiase roll out of the ring. Rhyno got into the ring and crouched down in the corner, looking for the "Gore". But Rockwell turned around before he could hit the move and Rhyno thought better of it, leaving the ring with the others.

Match Time: 4:20

Ventura: "What happened?! He should've Gored him"!

"BACK IN BACK" PLAYED AGAIN AND ROCKWELL STOOD IN THE RING, WATCHING THE OTHER 4 LEAVE.

Cole: "There is no doubt that Rockwell has changed and whether it's for the better remains to be seen but one thing is for sure.... the next time Rhyno leaves the ring it could be on a strecther"!

Ventura: "There has never been a Stretcher match in TWF history and there is a reason why Cole! They are one of the most dangerous matches in this sport and without question, someone is gonna get hurt at Payback"!

Cole: "Well speaking of Payback, we are just days away from the huge event and now that we know Rhyno will face his former tag team partner Jordan Rockwell in a Stretcher match, let's take a look at the rest of the card!

PROMO GRAPHICS FOR EACH MATCH ARE SHOWN.

This match was made earlier tonight and there could be riots in Salt Lake City because of it as Aries and Hirohito, collectively known as War on America will face Chris Tirpak and Rick Clark in a Flag match"!

Ventura: "I'm gonna have my eye on that one Michael but how about the Intercontinental title match between Shane Thompson and Christopher Daniels! Former Chosen members battle for supremacy"!

Cole: "Also at Payback, Travis Wakeman meets Mr. Vain and it should be for the last time! If Vain loses, he is done in the TWF"!

Ventura: "And then we've got a triple threat for the Hardcore title..... Johnny Stamboli defends against Dylan Jansens and Axl Irvin, or El Diablo, whichever you prefer"!

Cole: "In what could go down as a classic.... TWF legend Strife battles wrestling legend Ric Flair! Can the Nature Boy survive on Strife's tracks"?!

Ventura: "And then, Rob Van Dam defends the Universal title against the man who earned the shot in a sixteen man battle royale, a man who is also the Lightheavyweight champion and a man with probably the best win-loss record in the TWF, the Ultimo Dragon"!

Cole: "And then this match has just been added! Edge pinned Rene Dupree earlier tonight in a tag team match but will he be able to do it again at Payback? It's gonna be a huge night so don't miss it, contact your local cable or satellite provider now"!

Ventura: "Just wait until Payback Michael! I don't think this guy will ever meddle in the business of Flair and the big boys again"!

THE ULTIMO DRAGON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A WILD POP BUT SHORTLY AFTER, "ONE OF A KIND" HITS AND PYRO POUNDS OFF AS ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE.

Cole: "And here come his partners"!

Ventura: "There's something wrong with these two walkin' out together Cole! They're facing each other for that title at Payback"!

Cole: "It's a respect between the two Jesse and I think we're gonna get one of the better title matches we've seen in years at Payback but tonight, there's other business at hand"!

6 Man Tag Team Match

Randy Orton, Batista and Ric Flair w/ Sable vs. Rob Van Dam, The Ultimo Dragon and Strife

As the bell sounded, it was a complete fracas with all 6 men in the ring. Flair traded shots with a much bigger Strife as Orton and Ultimo went at it while RVD was being hammered by Batista. But after ducking a clothesline, RVD used the middle turnbuckle to catch Batista with a back kick. He then hit the ropes but Sable grabbed his foot and Orton pounded him from behind. Referee Mike Chioda did his best to try and create some order in the match and finally did. Ultimo Dragon and Flair were left as the legal men in the ring and Ultimo slapped Flair's chest but Flair reversed position and pounded the chest of Ultimo with his trademark knifedge chops as the crowd "WOOOED" along. But Ultimo was able to reverse an irish whip and then lifted Flair up with a backbody drop before tagging in Strife. Strife came in but Flair put up his hands, begging for mercy. But within a millisecond, he poked Strife in the eye and tagged in Orton. Orton took control of Strife but after hitting the ropes, he walked right into a big boot. Strife then tagged in the Universal champ RVD and he was all over Orton, hitting a falling slam and then the Rolling Thunder. Flair tried to get in but Strife came in, clotheslining him out of the the ring. Strife followed him out as RVD hit the step over heel kick and went to the top rope. But as Chioda was desperately trying to get Flair and Strife to get back to their corners, Batista pushed Van Dam off the top rope and then ran and knocked Ultimo off the apron. When RVD got up, Orton hit the "RKO" and got the 1.......2.........3.

Match Time: 6:49

Ventura: "There it is! Two weeks in a row"!

Cole: "The Universal champion RVD has just been pinned by Randy Orton but not without a huge assist from Batista"!

"EVOLUTION" BY MOTORHEAD PLAYED AS ORTON, BATISTA, FLAIR AND SABLE LEFT IN CELEBRATION AS THE CROWD GAVE THEM A TON OF HEAT.

Ventura: "But more importantly Michael, in the last two weeks, Orton and Batista have earned pinfall victories over the two men that will battle for the Universal title at Payback"!
