AS RAW COMES ON THE AIR, TRIPLE H IS IN HIS DRESSING ROOM LOOKING AT A REFEREE SHIRT WITH A WEIRD SMIRK ON HIS FACE.

ROWDY RODDY PIPER ENTERS.

Roddy Piper:"Hey Triple H, I know you must be upset right now, but you're still gonna be an impartial referee at Tidal Wave right"?

Triple H:"Listen Piper, I know you expect everyone to play by "Rowdy's Rules" but I live by one set of rules and that's mine. And tonight, my wife is gonna learn what happens when you break the game's rules"!

TRIPLE H WALKS OUT AS RAW's THEME PLAYS. CAMERAS SCAN THE CROWD AS FIREWORKS KICK THE SHOW OFF.

J.R.:"Stephanie McMahon has apparently turned her back on her husband and the TWF as witnessed at Back for More! How will that play into the title match in less than a week at Tidal Wave"?

THE BRUTILE BULLDOG's MUSIC HITS AS HE AND TERRI COME OUT.

Heyman:"Oh it could have serious effects! The game is a ticking timebomb J.R."!

"THE KINGS" BY RUN DMC HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH LITA.

J.R.:"We're kickin' things off with a hardcore match as one of the three men who will be involved in that triple threat ladder match for the European title at Tidal Wave heads to the ring with Lita".

Heyman:"The Bulldog could soften Rockwell up a bit in this one for both Tazz and Drew Blood before Tidal Wave"!

J.R.:"Speaking of Drew Blood, listen to the match that Commissioner Piper has come up with for tonight. Drew Blood is gonna take on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a non-title bloodbath match later on".

Heyman:"A bloodbath match"?

Hardcore Rules

The Brutile Bulldog vs. Jordan Rockwell

These two wasted no time going at it as Rockwell clotheslined the Bulldog and went outside for weapons. But the Bulldog came flying off the top rope with a double axe handle to the back. He then whipped him into the gaurd rail and rammed him face first into the ring steps. The Bulldog then rolled Rockwell back in and set up a steel trash can right in the center of the ring. The Bulldog then suplexed him right onto the trash can and went for the cover but only got a 2 count. But when he got up, Rockwell ducked a clothesline and hit the Bulldog with his "Rock Crusher" sambo suplex. Lita then tossed Rockwell a trash can lid when Terri got into the ring and stood in front of the Bulldog so Rockwell wouldn't hit him. But Lita got on the top rope and caught Terri with her hurracanrana as the crowd went wild. Rockwell was sizing the Bulldog up for "Extreme Measures" when Tazz jumped out of the crowd with a steel chair. He cracked Rockwell right in the face with the chair as the Bulldog came off the top rope with a senton splash for the win.

Match Time: 10:35

J.R.:"That was highway robbery! Definitely not the way Rockwell wanted to go into Tidal Wave"!

Heyman:"But that's definitely how Tazz wanted him to"!

"ENTER SANDMAN" BY METALLICA HITS AS MADDOGG AND KING KILLER COME OUT, EACH WITH A CONFEDERATE FLAG IN HAND.

J.R.:"On PrimeTime, we saw King Killer win a triple threat match to give he and Maddogg a shot at the tag teams titles at Tidal Wave"!

THE ACOLYTES' MUSIC HITS AS FAAROOQ AND BRADSHAW RECEIVE A BIG POP.

Heyman:"We're gonna get a preview of that match righh here as I feel the Confederation is gonna give the Acolytes a taste of what's to come here"!

Maddogg vs. Faarooq

This one started out with a shoulder block takedown by Faarooq followed by a big clothesline. Faarooq was totally dominating Maddogg as he threw him outside the ring. Faarooq then whipped him hard into the announce table. Back in the ring, Faarooq set Maddogg up on the top turnbuckle and brought him down with a superplex. King Killer then made his way out but was followed by Bradshaw. Faarooq and Maddogg both wentg outside the ring as the 2 teams went at it. Maddogg and Faarooq both got back in the ring as referee Jack Doan tried to hold Bradshaw back. Meanwhile, King Killer slid into the ring and hit Faarooq with the "Rise of the South". Doan got back into the ring as Maddogg made the cover and got the pin. Bradshaw came in as the Confederates quickly retreated.

Match Time: 7:38

J.R.:"The Confederation has just stolen one here"!

Heyman:"With the titles up for grabs at Tidal Wave, the Confederates have taken the first battle in this war"!

"I AM" BY EMINEM HITS AS WELL DUNN HEADS TO THE RING.

J.R.:"One of the more unheralded teams on the TWF roster here folks. Steve Well and Johnny Dunn, in my opinion, have what it takes to be major players someday".

X- FACTOR's MUSIC BY CRACKER HITS AS X-PAC, JUSTIN CREDIBLE, ALBERT AND TORI COME OUT.

Heyman:"They'll be a lot more heralded if they can beat these guys J.R."!

X-Pac and Justin Credible vs. Well Dunn

This match was filled with high octane offense as 2 of the top up and coming teams in the TWF went at it. Well Dunn focused their attack on Justin Credible as Steven Well hit him with a nice dropkick and Johnny Dunn came off the top rope with a flying cross body to get a 2 count. Well Dunn continued to make frequent exchanges to wear Credible down until Credible caught Dunn with a hip toss and connected with a superkick to Steven Well. Credible got over and made the tag as a fresh X-Pac came in and hit both men with a series of spinning heel kicks. But Dunn hit X-Pac with a hard shot from behind and bounced off the ropes, attempting a flying forearm. But X-Pac moved and Dunn took out Steven Well. X-Pac then kicked Dunn in the stomach and delivered the "X-Factor" to get the pin.

Match Time: 7:08

J.R.:"Well Dunn has found out first hand how good X-Pac can be"!

Heyman:"And X-Factor can now use this win to build some momentum in the tag team division"!

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

Test:"Ya know Mike, you really blew it in that triple threat match on PrimeTime".

Mike Norton:"Oh, and you could've done better"?

Test:"Don't see how I could do much worse. I'm beginning to think the Reluctance of Society is going nowhere".

Norton:"Hey man, I ain't holdin' on to ya. If that's how you feel, leave".

Test:"Come on Mike, I'm not gonna leave. We just need to turn this around".

Norton:"In due time big man, the Reluctance of Society will have a completely different look to it".

THEY SMILE TOGETHER AS "I AM" BY EMINEM HITS AND JERRY LYNN COMES OUT.

J.R.:"Speaking of the Reluctance, Jerry Lynn is gonna try to turn things around for his group right now"!

"THE KINGS" BY RUN DMC HITS AS SCOTTY 2 HOTTY COMES OUT.

Heyman:"Here comes the man who joined the New Breed, a move I thought was a mistake"!

Jerry Lynn vs. Scotty 2 Hotty

The newest member of the New Breed, Scotty 2 Hotty, had the crowd behind him. After hitting Lynn with a brainbuster, Scotty found the mark with a missile dropkick off the top rope and went for an early cover but Lynn kicked out at 2. They traded right hands until Lynn tripped Scotty up and used a slingshot into the turnbuckle. But Scotty ducked a clothesline and bounced off the ropes, bringing Lynn down with his jumping bulldog. Scotty then signaled for the worm as the crowd came alive but when he went for the chop to the throat, Lynn rolled out onto the apron and came off the ring ropes with a tornado ddt! He then picked Scotty up and hit him with a running powerbomb to get the pin.

Match Time: 4:25

J.R.:"How'd he pull off that tornado ddt? That's incredible"!

Heyman:"If Jerry Lynn continues to perform like that, the TWF will be forced to take notice"!

WEAPON R's MUSIC HITS AS HE HEADS TO THE RING.

J.R.:"Still to come tonight on RAW, Travis Wakeman returns to the ring to take on Hardcore Holly and Nails has issued a challenge to Electric Coma after what we saw on PrimeTime and that has been accepted"!

CHRIS MICHAELS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A CHORUS OF BOOS.

Heyman:"The time is now for this man! I view this as a very important match for Chris Michaels as far as future success goes"!

Weapon R vs. Chris Michaels

This match most certainly will be a match of the month candidate. These two put on an awesome show as Michaels showed he can fight Weapon R's style of match. Michaels used several hurracanranas and roundhouse kicks to hurt Weapon R and then hit him with a tornado ddt to get a 2 and a half count. Michaels then hit Weapon R with a savot kick after he ducked a clothesline but again, Weapon R got a shoulder up. Michaels then put Weapon R up on the top turnbuckle and brought him down with a devastating ddt but Weapon R again kicked out! Not to be denied, Weapon R came on strong with a series of knifedge chops and hard kicks. He then caught Michaels in the temple with a roundhouse kick. But Michaels got up ann caught Weapon R with a thrust to the throat followed by a wrist lock takedown. He then locked in a spinning leg twist but Weapon R escaped. Michaels got up and went for a clothesline but Weapon R ducked, locked in a full nelson and hit Michaels with the "Weapon of Choice" to get the pin.

Match Time: 11:02

J.R.:"That was one hell of a match! TWF action at it's best"!

Heyman:"I think these fans would like to see those two go at it again"!

SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AS HE AND MISS HANCOCK COME OUT.

J.R.:"This guy right here is a tremendous athlete with a huge upside. A win here could reverse his fortunes of late"!

"YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" HITS AS EDGE AND CAMMIE COPELAND COME OUT.

Heyman:"Here comes Edge and the woman who had the nerve to challenge her other brother to a match at Tidal Wave! Come on J.R., it's a man against a woman! Her career just started and it'll probably be over at Tidal Wave"

J.R.:"Well I think Cammie's got the entire free world rootin' for her in that one".

Shawn "The Star" Stasiak vs. Edge

2 of the top young superstars in the TWF went at it here. Edge used his speed to take control of Stasiak early. He hit Stasiak with a dropkick and then a clothesline off the middle turnbuckle. He then hit Stasiak with the spear but Stasiak was able to get his foot on the ropes to avoid the 3 count. Later in the match, Edge grabbed Stasiak from behind by his chin and sat down, driving the back of his head into the mat. Stacy Kiebler then got up on the apron as Cammie went over to get her down. Christian ran down the aisle. He tried to seperate the two women but Stasiak came over but Christian hit him with a right hand and went up to the top rope. Meanwhile, referee Chad Patton was trying to seperate the ladies as Christian came off the top rope with a missile dropkick. But Stasiak ducked and he nailed Edge! Stasiak then clotheslined Christian out of the ring and rolled Edge up with a bridge pin as Patton turned around and counted the 3.

Heyman:"Christian just cost Edge the match"!

J.R.:"Yeah, and I bet he's heartbroken about it! Stasiak didn't deserve that win"!

SUDDENLY, CAMMIE TOSSED STACY ASIDE AND WENT IT AFTER CHRISTIAN. SHE SLAPPED CHRISTIAN HARD ACROSS THE FACE. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING, EDGE CHARGED WITH THE SPEAR BUT CHRISTIAN MOVED AND EDGE TOOK OUT CAMMIE! CHRISTIAN QUICKLY LEFT LAUGHING.

Heyman:"Brilliant move Christian! Brilliant"!

J.R.:"He may be laughin' now but he could get embarassed in front of the world at Tidal Wave"!

AHMED WALKER's MUSIC HITS AS HE AND TORRIE WILSON COME OUT.

J.R.:"The Native American Tatanka has somewhat of a score to settle with Val Venis as does Kurt Angle with this man! Ahmed Walker pulled off a huge win over Angle last week on PrimeTime"!

Val Venis and Kurt Angle vs. Tatanka and Ahmed Walker

Redemption was on the mind's of both Angle and Tatanka in this one as rivalries began to form. Walker started it off with Venis and got the better of him quickly with a series of hip tosses and arm drags before Angle was tagged in. Angle and Walker had a hard hitting series in the ring as they exchanged right hands. It was all Walker and Tatanka as they had the match won on 4 seperate occasions but either Venis or Angle made the save. The match became very intense as all 4 men got into the ring at once. Tatanka hammered away on Venis as Walker dropped Angle with a samoan drop. But Walker went for a clothesline but Angle ducked and belly to belly suplexed him out of the ring! As referee Jim Corderas checked to make sure he was okay, Venis lowblowed Tatanka and Angle dropped him with the "Angle Slam" to get the pin.

Match Time: 17:33

J.R.:"Angle and Venis have somehow pulled out a win"!

Heyman:"That goes to show you how good those two are J.R.! They took a beating that whole match and still leave with a victory"!

THE HARDY BOYZ' MUSIC HITS AS MATT COMES OUT TO A GREAT RESPONSE.

Heyman:"Do any of these guys really wanna face Kane"?

"WHATEVER" BY GODSMACK HITS AS BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.

J.R.:"Well they're all out here Paul! Of course they'll face him! This is the TWF and excuse my language but we don't have any WCW2 pussies around here"!

Triple Threat/Number 1 contender for the IC title

Matt Hardy vs. Bahamut vs. Chris Benoit

This was an outstanding effort by all 3 men as a shot at the IC title was on the line. Nobody had a clear cut advantage early and every attempt at a pin was broken up. The match nearly had a triple count out as all 3 men battled outside the ring and barely beat the count back. But Bahamut decided to go for it. He hit Matt with a big chokeslam and then launched Benoit over the ropes to the floor. But Bahamut bounced off the ropes and Benoit got him with a knee in the back. When Bahamut turned around, Matt kicked him in the abdomen and dropped him with the "Twist of Fate". But Benoit's ring savvy prevailed. Right after Matt hit his move, Benoit came from behind and hit him with 3 consecutive german suplexes. He then climbed to the top turnbuckle and came flying off with his headbutt to Bahamut to get the 1......2.....3.

Match Time: 21:12

J.R.:"The veteran move by Benoit has earned him a shot at the Intercontinental title"!

Heyman:"Benoit vs. the Big red machine, what a war that'll be"!

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

Vince:"Hey Hunter, how ya doin'"?

Triple H:"How am I doin'? How the hell do you think I'm doin'"?

Vince:"Now listen, I know you're upset about Stephanie leaving and quite frankly so am I. But I don't want that to effect your job at Tidal Wave. You gotta do everything you can to ensure Austin keeps the title".

Triple H:"I won't do anything that'll cost me a six month suspension"!

Vince:"You're gonna listen to that crap? So lemme guess, you're playin' by Rowdy's Rules huh"?

TRIPLE H GETS IN HIS FACE

Triple H:"I'm gonna tell you exactly what I told him. I play by my own rules! At Tidal Wave, I hold all the cards! I can't help Austin, I can't help Bret! The first man to make his opponent bleed wins, simple as that".

TRIPLE H WALKS AWAY.

Piper:"Hey Bret".

Bret Hart:"What's up"?

Hart:"Against who"?

Piper:"I'm still deciding that but I'll make sure that it's a formidable opponent. Now Bret, I've been in the ring with you and I know how good you are. I just want all these young guys in the back to see it for themselves".

Hart:"Alright, if that's what they want".

Piper:"It'll help you prepare for Austin and show them you're worthy at the same time. I'll see ya later".

PIPER GETS UP AND LEAVES.

Well here comes Vince's hired gun! The man who helped William Birkin defeat Nails on PrimeTime last week"!

"CHEAP VODKA" BY ACID BATH HITS AND PLAYS INTO THE GATES OF HELL THEME AS NAILS COMES OUT WITH PAUL BEARER.

Heyman:"And now Birkin is in the alliance! Vince is a genius"!

Electric Coma vs. Nails

This one was intense as Nails went right after the bigger Coma. Nails connected with right hands and a big headbutt. He then grabbed Coma by the hair and started ramming him face first into the mat. After taking a serious beating, Coma hit Nails with a boot to the face that jerked his head back. After a big powerbomb, Coma motioned for someone to come out and Birkin did. He was wearing a new shirt that said "Nemesis" on the front. He and Coma began to do a number on Nails.

Heyman:"Dr. Birkin has definitely joined the alliance"!

SUDDENLY, HELLS ANGEL COMES ROARING TO THE RING ON HIS HARLEY.

J.R.:"Oh no, it's three on one"!

J.R.:"Here is a man who's been on an absolute roll since arriving here in the TWF"!

Heyman:"Raven will stop that roll at Tidal Wave! There's no way this Texan can beat Raven in his very own match"!

Metallic Hangover vs. Mike "The Texan" Smith

As soon as the bell sounded, Raven came out followed by Strife and a huge fight ensued. Weapons were strewn about the ring as the men tore each other apart. The match was ruled a no contest but that didn't stop these guys. After a low blow, Raven dropped the Texan on a trash can lid with the "Raven Effect". Metallic Hangover then cracked a steel chair over Strife's head and then he and Raven used a spike piledriver on the big man. Metallic Hangover's music played as he and Raven walked away.

Heyman:"Oh yeah! This is exactly what we're gonna see at Tidal Wave"!

J.R.:"Well that remains to be seen Paul but we're ready for Hardcore Holly and Travis Wakeman"!

HARDCORE HOLLY's MUSIC HITS

Heyman:"Imagine what a win could do for Holly's status if he can win this one".

TRAVIS WAKEMAN's THEME BY WESTSIDE CONNECTION HITS ALONG WITH PYRO AS HE AND TRISH MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THE AISLE.

J.R.:"After all the emotional and physical trauma in the last few weeks, Travis Wakeman's ready to get it on again"!

Heyman:"Keep in mind that he will face Nuke at Tidal Wave as Wakeman accepted Nuke's challenge"!

J.R.:"Also added to the card for Tidal Wave folks, Electric Coma and Dr. William Birkin will team up to face this new tandem of Nails and Hells Angel! Who'd of thought we'd say that"?

Hardcore Holly vs. Travis Wakeman

This was a terrific matchup. Holly realized the oppurtunity he had and he gave Wakeman all he could handle. Holly hit Wakeman with some stiff right hands and a swinging neckbreaker. He then caught Wakeman with the best dropkick in the business and got a 2 count. But Wakeman slowly got back into it and he turned the match around when he caught Holly with a 1 handed powerslam as he came off the ropes. Wakeman then hit Holly with a smabo suplex and went for the cover. But Holly kicked out at 2. A frustrated Holly then hit Wakeman with the "Big Shot" but made a nonchalant cover and only got a 2! Holly sent Wakeman into the ropes and went for a spinebuster but in a tremendous display of wrestling ability, Wakeman grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him to the mat where he set in the "Round Table". With nowhere to go, Holly tapped out.

Match Time: 7:47

J.R.:"What an impressive move by Wakeman! Wait a minute, what's this"?

SUDDENLY NUKE CAME OUT OF THE CROWD AND INTO THE RING, SLAMMING WAKEMAN WITH THE "ATOM BOMB". HE THEN WALKED AWAY BUT WAKEMAN GOT UP AND RAN AFTER HIM. WAKEMAN RAN ALL THE WAY TO THE PARKING LOT AS CAMERAS FOLLOWED WHERE NUKE SPED AWAY IN A VEHICLE. AS WAKEMAN APPROACHED A CORNER, SOMEONE REACHED AROUND AND HIT HIM WITH A METAL OBJECT. ALL THAT COULD BE SEEN WAS A BLACK GLOVE AND A LONG BLACK SLEEVE. WAKEMAN WAS HURT AS TRISH TENDED TO HIM.

J.R.:"When is this gonna stop? Who is doing this? And Nuke has said all along he knows nothing about it, that was a trap"!

J.R.:"The rules are simple (camera focuses on a bucket of blood sitting on a small table outside the ring) the first man to douse his opponent with the bucket of blood wins"!

Bloodbatch Match

Drew Blood vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

This was a very unoque match, the first of it's kind in the TWF. But Austin and Drew Blood went at it like 2 caged animals. Drew Blood used a lot of technical wrestling to get the better of Austin early on until he was picked up and dropped with a spinebuster. Austin then used an elbow drop off the middle turnbuckle and then put Drew Blood down with the Stunner. He then threw Drew Blood outside the ring. But Drew Blood got hold of an electrical cord and he wrapped it around the rattlesnake's throat. Suddenly, Triple H came out weilding a steel chair. Drew Blood and Austin were drawing closer to the bucket when Triple H took an ill advised swing with the chair. It looked as though he was aiming for Drew Blood but Drew dodged it slightly and it hit Austin full force! An angry Triple H slammed the chair and walked backstage as Drew Blood poured the bucket on Austin to win the match!

J.R.:"Drew Blood has done it! What a win"!

Heyman:"Austin, ya gotta know that Triple H didn't mean to do that"!
