Jim Ross:"Off the heels of one of the most shocking events in TWF history, I am joined by a man who made his triumphant return at Tidal Wave as we are live for RAW"!

Jerry Lawler:"Well the King's back J.R. after I personally got rid of the voice of that idiot Paul Heyman"!

THE SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING IS HEARD AS "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND VINCE McMAHON COME TO THE RING.

J.R.:"On a night where Bahamut challenges Kane for the Intercontinental title and Bret Hart faces Rhyno, we are gonna be graced by the TWF champion and the owner of this company"!

Lawler:"I bet they've got a lot to get off their chests here J.R."!

Vince McMahon:"Let me start off by saying this, still TWF World champion, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin! (crowd loudly boos) But even though we bloodied Bret Hart at Tidal Wave, it was a bittersweet victory. Triple H, not only are you no longer a part of my family, but you are on the alliance's hit list"!

AUSTIN GRABS THE MIC

Stone Cold:"Triple H. You wanna hit me with a Pedigree like a cheap shot artist? Well uh uh, Stone Cold doesn't play that crap! You always run your mouth about how you are the game! Well Stone Cold Steve Austin's a hunter and I go after the biggest game out there"!

"THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AS TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO SOME UNFAMILIAR CHEERS.

Triple H: "Austin, I gave you the Pedigree at Tidal Wave to send a message and I hope that message is clear. I'm not gonna play second fiddle to you in Vince's sorry ass alliance anymore! I'm better than you and I always have been better than you! So Austin, I'm callin' you out! I want a shot at the TWF title at Welcome to our Yard"!

Vince:"We'll take that under advisement".

Stone Cold:"The hell we will! I accept"!

TRIPLE H AND AUSTIN STARE EACH OTHER DOWN AS VINCE LOOKS STUNNED AND TAKES A HARD SWALLOW.

J.R.:"Austin has accepted"!

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE...

Michael Cole:"Jordan Rockwell, can we get your thoughts on your match at Tidal Wave"?

Jordan Rockwell:"Well Michael, I fell a little short at Tidal Wave. But I'm gonna stop my pursuit of the European title. So Tazz, keep a good look over your shoulder and Drew Blood, you get in my wat again, I promise you will regret it".

CHRIS MICHAELS' MUSIC HITS.

J.R.:"Folks, we already have one match confirmed for Welcome to our Yard. Triple H will face the Texas rattlesnake for the TWF title"!

TATANKA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD REACTION.

Lawler:"Look out J.R., it's Squanto"!

J.R.:"All jokes aside, Tatanka is a superb athlete and this will be a bi test for both these guys".

Chris Michaels vs. Tatanka

Tatanka looked great in this one as virtually the entire match belonged to him. Michaels could not solve Tatanka's attack as he was hit with a barrage of moves. After a big powerslam, Tatanka came flying off the the top rope with a knee to the chest. He then set Michaels on the top rope and came off with a samoan drop. Tatanka used a backdrop suplex into a bridge pin to get the win.

Match Time: 3:45

J.R.:"Tatanka has defeated Chris Michaels in impressive fashion to get back on the winning track".

Lawler:"I'll have to hand it to Tatanka. That was a nice win".

Lalwer:"Now I like these guys. I think they are gonna be better without Justin Credible. He was always their weak link"!

Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'haire vs. Albert and X-Pac

This match had some great action as two good teams squared off. However, X-Pac and Albert didn't display the continuity that Palumbo and O'haire did. Palumbo tagged X-Pac with his great right hand before tagging in O'haire who caught him with a torcher rack drop. X-Pac and Albert only made 1 exchange compared to Palumbo and O'haire's countless tags. After watching X-Pac take a long beating, Albert just came into the match as it broke down. After gorilla press slamming Palumbo, Albert tried to bicycle kick O'haire but he moved and Albert clocked X-Pac! Palumbo then drilled Albert with his superkick as O'haire covered X-Pac for the win.

Match Time: 17:43

J.R.:"The mistake by Albert has cost X-Factor the match and what a great team Palumbo and O'haire are becoming".

Lawler:"X-Factor just had a bad night J.R.. They'll become a better team once they work together more".

"ENTER SANDMAN" BY METALLICA HITS AS THE NEW TWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS MADDOGG AND KING KILLER COME OUT FLANKED BY BULL BUCHANAN AND DUKE WILLIAMS.

J.R.:"I've said all along that this is a scary group and if they develop a following, look out".

Lawler:"Well they beat the mighty Acolytes at Tidal Wave"!

Maddogg:"Now I've said for months that it would only be a matter of time before the Confederation took over and at Tidal Wave, the rise of the South began"!

King Killer:"Acolytes, you may be a tough team, but at Tidal Wave, you ran into a tougher one. We took your titles and now it's time for the rest of the TWF to learn exactly what Robert Lee showed the North, the South is the most dominant force"!

J.R.:"They lost the war"!

"I AM" BY EMINEM HITS AS THE RELUCTANCE OF SOCIETY COMES OUT IN FULL FORCE.

Mike Norton:"Are my ears deceiving me? You guys are the most dominant group? You guys are nothin' but a bunch of jobbers who've hit a stroke of good luck"!

Test:"Ya know, we've got the mind to come down there and kick your asses for those titles right now"!

Maddogg:"Why should we give you a title shot? When was the last time anyone in the Reluctance of Society won a match? If it's a fight you want, I'm sure Bull and Duke will be happy to give you one"!

Norton:"Well since you're afraid to defend the titles, we'll just come down there and have you job to us"!

WELL DUNN HEADS TO THE RING AND THE FIGHT IS ON.

Bull Buchanan and Duke Williams vs. Well Dunn

This one started as a huge mismatch as the bigger and stronger Confederates pounded on Steven Well and Johnny Dunn. After a double sidewalk slam on Well, Norton and Test came into the ring but were met by Maddogg and King Killer. After a long brawl, Maddogg brought a steel chair in and cracked all 4 members of the Reluctance with it as his men held their arms back. King Killer then lifted Test and delivered the "Rise of the South". They all began to wave Confederate flags as Maddogg and King Killer held the tag team titles high.

J.R.:"Mark my words, these guys are extremely dangerous"!

Lawler:"I don't know if there's a force out there strong enough to stop them"!

A GUNSHOT IS HEARD AS MIKE "THE TEXAN" SMITH's MUSIC HITS

Lawler:"It's time for hardcore action J.R."!

J.R.:"Well Mike Smith put up one hell of a fight against Raven at Tidal Wave and even though Crash is accustomed to these hardcore matches, he better not overlook the Texan".

Hardcore Rules

Crash vs. Mike "The Texan" Smith

Crash wanted to take out the Texan, new to the hardcore division, quickly. He attacked Smith as he came down the aisle but Smith reversed an irish whip and threw him into the ring steps. He then grabbed a steel chair but Crash lowblowed him and caught him with a tornado ddt. But when he tried for a scoop sla, Smith slipped off his shoulders and hit Crash with a big ddt. He then climbed to the rope as Crash got up and grabbed the chair. But Smith timed his leap perfectly and hit Crash with a missile dropkick, kicking the chair right into his face. Smith then bounced off the ropes and hit Crash with the "Sidewinder" right onto the chair to get the 1-2-3.

6 Man Tag

The Hardcore Revolution vs. The Hardy Boyz and Carney

This one never even officially got underway as the Hardcore Revolution attacked the 3 youngsters as they came down the ramp. Tex Watson hammered on Matt as the 7 foot Mike Stalker choked the life out of Jeff. ZeroEx hit Carney with a savot kick that landed him in the front row. Watson and Stalker, known as the Bringers of Death, hit each Hardy with a steel chair and then rolled them into the ring. Watson delivered the "Widow Maker" to Matt as Stalker slammed Jeff with the "Heart Stopper". Meanwhile, the bell continued to ring trying to stop the madness but Wally Willson kept on directing his men to inflict more punishment. Carney was brought into the ring where ZeroEx picked him up and delivered a spinning helicopter powerbomb. Willson then came in to congratulate his men.

J.R.:"Look at the destruction! It looks like a car wreck"!

Lawler:"Who can stop this Revolution J.R.? Does anyone even wanna try"?!

TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AS HE COMES OUT TO A STRONG REACTION.

Lawler:"And on the other hand, this man lost his title at Tidal Wave".

J.R.:"Tajiri was shafted big time in that match"!

Metallic Hangover vs. Tajiri

This was an interesting matchup between 2 rising stars. Hangover wanted to brawl but he couldn't keep up with Tajiri's quick feet and fell victim to numerous kicks to the head. But just as Tajiri was beginning to takeover, a spotlight found Yuji Matasamo up in the rafters with the lightheavyweight title over his shoulder and looking down at Tajiri. At each side of him stood a ninja. In the meantime, Metallic Hangover had left the ring and Tajiri stared at the 3 men who suddenly left through one of the exits.

J.R.:"Now there's two ninjas? We saw one of them help Matasamo defeat Tajiri at Tidal Wave but I don't get this".

Shane:"It gives me great pleasure to be out here on a TWF show with my two nemest members of WCW2. Now dad, I know you're in the back and I know you can hear me. WCW2 is becoming more powerful than ever dad. But we're not done yet. That's why at the August pay-per-view Welcome to our Yard, WCW2 is declaring war on the TWF!

J.R.:"We saw this match come about earlier tonight and it should be a good one".

Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Drew Blood

This easily turned into the best match all night, featuring over 15 near falls. Scotty started the match on fire, hitting Drew Blood with a cross body plancha outside the ring. But Drew Blood's fundamentals began to become a factor as Scotty's unorthodox style was no match for Drew Blood's technical prowess. After a backbreaker and a drop toe hold, Drew Blood began to work on Scotty's left knee. Both men went for covers after nearly every move and it was a flat out good match. Scotty nearly pulled the upset on several occasions. After a big superkick, Scotty bounced off the ropes but Drew Blood backdropped him out of the ring. Suddenly, Jordan Rockwell came out and helped Scotty up. Scotty got to the apron as Drew Blood tried to suplex him back in. But Rockwell tripped Drew Blood as Scotty landed on him. Rockwell then held Drew Blood's feet down, making sure he couldn't kick out as Scotty picked up a huge win.

Match Time: 11:16

DREW BLOOD LOOKED A HOLE THROUGH ROCKWELL AS THEY LEFT.

J.R.:"I don't know if that was a great career choice by Rockwell"!

Lawler:"Judging by the look on Drew Blood's face, I'd say it definitely was not"!

Lawler:"This guy Wally Willson is disturbed! He's brought this group of psycho's to run the TWF out of business cause their company couldn't compete with it"!

William Regal vs. Nails

Regal used his abrasive mat style to take Nails out of his element. Regal hit Nails with vicious european uppercuts and used some clever takedowns. But after ducking a clothesline, Nails tossed Regal out of the ring. Nails rammed Regal face first into the announce table and then whipped him into the gaurd rail. He then rolled Regal into the ring and climbed the turnbuckle. But Regal recovered and swept Nails' feet out from under him, racking him on the turnbuckle.

TWF Intercontinental Title Match

Challenger... Bahamut vs. Kane

This was a battle of big men who are both very agile. Bahamut's quest to become IC champion drove early as he rocked the big red machine with hard clotheslines but as he came off the ropes, Kane stuck a boot in his face which marked the beginning of the end. Kane came off the top rope with his flying clothesline and made the cover but Bahamut reached down deep and kicked out at 2. But after ducking a clothesline, Bahamut turned right into a huge chokeslam as Kane signaled for the Tombstone with a throat slash gesture and delivered it to get the victory.

Match Time: 3:40

J.R.:"These two met a couple weeks ago on Free 4 All and what an oppurtunity for the manbeast Rhyno to beat the man who gave the Texas rattlesnake all he wanted at Tidal Wave".

Rhyno vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart

The Hitman tried to take the physical Rhyno and make him wrestle. But after a few right hands, Rhyno turned things around and began to hit Hart with hard shoulder thrusts in the corner. But after absorbing a lot of hard shots, Hart ducked a clothesline and hit Rhyno with a russian leg sweep and followed that with an elbow off the middle turnbuckle to get a 2 count. After a side backbreaker, Hart was on a roll. He tried to lock in the Sharpshooter but Rhyno grabbed his tights and threw him into referee Mike Chioda. All of a sudden, out of the crowd came WCW2's Lance Storm who hit Hart with a superkick. Storm then took off through the crowd. Rhyno then smashed Hart with the "Gore" as Chioda counted the 3.
