AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, A CLIP IS SHOWN FROM THE LAST SHOW OF THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THE WORLD TITLE MATCH BETWEEN KURT ANGLE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN WHERE WAKEMAN MADE ANGLE TAP OUT TO NOT ONLY RETAIN THE TITLE, BUT TO END HIS CAREER ON RAMPAGE. A SHOT OF ANGLE IN DISBELIEF ENDED THE CLIP WHICH THEN WENT INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED, AS USUAL, BY "ACROSS THE NATION".

THE MOMENT THE SIOUX FALLS ARENA CAME INTO THE SHOT, THE ARABIC CHANT OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC STARTED AND HE CAME OUT TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS FROM THE NEARLY 6,000 FANS.

Jim Ross: "We aren't wasting any time getting to the action folks as Muhammad Hassan is making his way to the ring for a most anticipated matchup"!

Jerry Lawler: "We're finally gonna see these two men go at it J.R."!

TATANKA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER WITH A NEW HEADDRESS ON.

J.R.: "We are live in Sioux Falls tonight, a city named after the Native American tribe that used to inhabit this land and although Tatanka is not a Sioux Indian, he takes a lot of pride in his own heritage, a heritage that Muhammad Hassan did his best to physically destroy by tearing apart Tatanka's headdress"!

Lawler: "Well I have no doubt in my mind that Hassan is the most hated man in all the TWF but he is no slouch in that ring and Tatanka better be ready for a fight"!

HASSAN AND TATANKA LOCKED EYES IN A STAREDOWN AS THE BELL SOUNDED TO START THE MATCH.

J.R.: "Can you feel the intensity? These two men have genuine hatred for one another"!

Muhammad Hassan vs. Tatanka

After a brief tie up, Tatanka grabbed Hassan in a standing side headlock and Hassan pushed him to the ropes. But Tatanka came off and put Hassan down with a shoulder tackle before lifting him up for a scoop slam. Tatanka moved in, looking for more offense but Hassan gave him a thumb to the eye before hitting the ropes for a big clothesline. Hassan kept the pressure on with 2 blatant chokes and some boots to the chest and head. After raising his hands in some sort of prayer, Hassan moved back to Tatanka but caught a boot to the gut. Tatanka then blocked a right hand and dropped Hassan with one of his own. The crowd began to get behind the Native American and after 2 tomahawk chops, Tatanka bounced off the ropes and took Hassan out with a crossbody block which got him a 2 count. Hassan got up and ran right into another slam and Tatanka went to the top rope from there. With pinpoint precision, he flew off with a flying tomahawk, smashing Hassan right between the eyes. Tatanka pulled Hassan to his feet and whipped him to the corner but Hassan moved as he charged in and rolled him up, putting his feet up on the middle ropes. But as he reached a 2 count, referee Chad Patton saw this and stopped the count. Hassan angrily got in Patton's face and grabbed him by the collar. Thinking of calling for the bell, Patton instead began to count as Tatanka rolled Hassan up from behind for the 1........2..........., but Hassan was up. He then drilled Tatanka with a clothesline upon getting up before taking him and throwing him over the top rope and to the floor. Tatanka was able to land on his feet though and he climbed to the apron. Hassan reached over the top rope, trying to bring Tatanka back in but Tatanka buried a shoulder deep in his abdomen before flying over the top rope with a sunset flip to get the 1..........2.........3.

Match Time: 11:45

J.R.: "What a move by Tatanka! The sunset flip into a pinning combination scored for Tatanka and he has picked up the victory here"!

Lawler: "And Hassan has lost it"!

AFTER KICKING THE ROPES IN ANGER, HASSAN TURNED HIS FRUSTRATION ON PATTON, KNOCKING HIM DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND.

J.R.: "Well you gotta think a hefty fine is gonna follow that! Go on Hassan, keep getting on the bad side of everyone! I wish they'd just run him outta here"!

THE SCENE CUTS TO A PLAIN WHITE SCREEN WHERE ROB STORM, DRESSED IN A BLACK SUIT AND RED TIE, WALKS UP.

Rob Storm: "Hello, I am Rob Storm, Canada's favorite son. Now, I know the last time you saw me in the TWF, I didn't make my true feelings known about most things. But let me make one thing clear to all of you Americans out there. I do not agree with your ways, I do not agree with your lifestyle and I just plain don't like you. Look what was in the news recently. A few of your brave soldiers, who are supposed to be helping Iraq recover from war and be able to stand on their own two feet, were arrested. What for? The rape and brutal murder of a fourteen year old girl. Fourteen years old! Yeah, that's something to be proud of. So the next time you hear your precious national anthem, or those stupid USA chants that seem to be everywhere you go...... think about that".

STORM TURNS AND WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR "HITMAN: BLOOD MONEY" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR THE TWF MAIN EVENT, COMING AGAIN IN AUGUST!

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

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, HOLLYWOOD HEAT IS IN THE RING AND THEIR MUSIC IS PLAYING. JUST THEN, "PLACE FOR MY HEAD" BY LINKIN PARK COMES ON AND REX REDFORD COMES OUT TO SOME CLAPS.

J.R.: "We are back live and we are ready for more in ring action as you see a young man looking for his first victory in the TWF".

Lawler: "And you also see the fact that Mercury and Blaze are out here without Melina"!

J.R.: "Melina is scheduled to take on Trish Stratus later in a match where she could actually win the managerial contract of the World champion, Travis Wakeman"!

Lawler: "And not only that, but Trish Stratus' husband Travis Wakeman, oh I can't wait for that one"!

J.R.: "This will be Rex Redford against one half of Hollywood Heat in Joey Mercury so does Johnny Blaze really need to be out here? And don't give me that line about moral support either".

Joey Mercury w/ Johnny Blaze vs. Rex Redford

As Mercury and Blaze tried to discuss strategy, Redford came from behind and even though Blaze tried to warn him, Mercury was still felled by a right hand. Redford, looking very hungry, shot Mercury to the corner and followed in with a clothesline into a nice jumping bulldog. He rolled him over and went for a quick cover but Mercury was up at 1 and a half. Redford stayed on the attack though, shooting Mercury to ropes but he dropped his head too soon and Mercury made him pay for the rookie mistake with a kick to the head. After a tight angle swinging neckbreaker, Mercury went to the top rope. He waited for Redford to get up and flew off with a crossbody but Redford was able to roll through it into a cover to get a long 2 count. Mercury got up and threw a clothesline but Redford ducked and whipped him to the ropes and this time, he elevated him with a backbody drop over the top rope and to the floor. Blaze ran over to see if his partner was okay as Redford tried to follow up on the move but referee Jose Mendez made him stay in the ring. Blaze helped Mercury to the apron and Redford grabbed him, looking to suplex him into the ring. But Blaze tripped Redford up by pulling his feet out from under him and Mercury landed on top of Redford as Blaze dropped down, holding onto both feet and making it impossible to kick out as Mercury got the pin.

Match Time: 6:01

J.R.: "Well I'll be damned! That's exactly what I meant King, Johnny Blaze had no business out here and he has cost the youngster Redford this match"!

Lawler: "Oh come on J.R., Redford will learn, you're not gonna win them all"!

HOLLYWOOD HEAT LEFT TO THEIR MUSIC, CELEBRATING THE WIN AS REDFORD TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO MENDEZ.

J.R.: "Oh quit, this was nothing more than a handicap match and you know it"!

BACKSTAGE......

Todd Grisham comes onto the screen, ready to interview a very upset looking Matt Cruz.

Todd Grisham: "Now Matt, a few weeks ago, you were defeated by Rey Mysterio in your own hometown for the number one contendership for the King of Cable Title. My colleague, Kristal, tried getting a word with you last week, only for you to turn her away. My question to you is, have you cooled off enough to give us your thoughts on just what happened two weeks ago"?

Matt Cruz: (rubbing his temple) "You know, no matter how many times I'm around you, I feel like I lose precious brain cells listening to your stupid ass questions. You want my thoughts? I got beat, straight and simple. In my own backyard. Rey is now the number one contender to the King of Cable title. No excuses. I can tell you this, though, nine times out of ten, I beat him. He had the balls to step up and take me on for that oppurtunity, and he got it. Gotta give him props for that, but I can gurantee that he can't do it again. If that pisses some people off, well that's the way it is".

Just then, Muhammad Hassan, still upset over his loss to Tatanka, enters the screen to Cruz's right and pulls Grisham's arm towards him, so he can talk into the mic.

Muhammad Hassan: "You see here, this is what's typical of what America has become. A man who will not take responsibility for his own shortcomings and making excuses for it. This makes me sick to my stomach that people actually cheer for you".

Cruz: (with a smirk on his face) "Well if it isn't the sandman! (the crowd gasps and starts laughing while Hassan's eyes bug out of his head.) I meant because you bore me. I know what you thought I meant".

Hassan: "You are the definition of an Ugly American. You're ignorant and have no tolerance for people of Arab-American descent".

Cruz: "Hey, I said no such thing. You were the one who came up in here, during my interview time, and ran your mouth about my business. If you have a problem, we can settle it out in the ring".

Hassan: (pointing a finger in Cruz's face) "You're on! I'll beat some respect into you"!

Cruz: "Hold on to your turban, Achmed, you started screwing with me at the wrong damn time! I'll hurt you so bad, it'll shock and awe you, ALALALALALALALALALA"!

Hassan's face turns a bright shade of red as he storms off, while Cruz glares in his direction.

CADE AND MURDOCH's COUNTRY THEME HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS.

J.R.: "This has not been a memorable night for Muhammad Hassan".

Lawler: "And it sounded like he and Matt Cruz just agreed to a match"!

THE BASHAM's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TOGETHER AND RAISE BOTH ARMS IN THE AIR WITH THE TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND THEIR WAIST. THEY TOO ARE GREETED BY MULTIPLE BOOS THOUGH.

J.R.: "Tag team titles about to be put on the line here as two of the roughest, toughest teams in the TWF are set to lock horns".

Lawler: "We've seen these two teams go at it before J.R. and they don't like each other one bit"!

Rampage Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. The Basham Brothers

This one wasn't much of a match as Trevor Murdoch, looking to capitalize on the title shot he won for his team, started things off with Danny Basham. But Danny got the upperhand after a hip toss slam and Doug tagged in. Doug and Danny made several tags in and out, taking turns on Murdoch but after Murdoch got a knee into the abdomen of Doug, he and Cade tried to make a Basham-like switch. Referee Scott Martin obviously wasn't fooled and he ordered Cade back to the corner as The Bashams hit Murdoch with a double backdrop suplex. From there, Doug held Murdoch up for a russian leg sweep as Danny came off the ropes with a clothesline to complete one heck of a double team move. Doug then topped Murdoch and got a 2 count but the count was broken up but Cade who smashed Doug across the back with a steel chair, causing a DQ. Cade tried to turn the chair on Danny but missed with his swing and Doug then hit Cade with his flying leg lariat. Cade and Murdoch were left laying in the ring as The Bashams grabbed their belts and left.

Match Time: 4:18

J.R.: "Well so much for that, Cade just blatantly got his team disqualified and threw away a chance to win the titles"!

Lawler: "And even that backfired because look at who is down in the ring and who is walking out on their own".

J.R.: "Well no one ever accused Cade and Murdoch of being brain surgeons, that's for sure".

THE HORSEMEN ARE SHOWN IN THEIR DRESSING ROOM AND JASON OLIVER IS HOLDING A VIDEO TAPE.

J.J. Ramplin: "Man, I can't wait to go out there and face Mysterio tonight, you'll have nothing to worry about come Anarchy Rulz, J".

Jason Oliver: "Sounds good Ram".

Carney: "What's the tape"?

Oliver: "I just got this, Mike sent it".

OLIVER POPS THE TAPE IN A VCR THAT IS WHEELED IN BY A STAGEHAND ALONG WITH A TV. THE FOOTAGE IS FROM MONEY MIKE's CRUISE ON THE ISLAND OF ANDROS ABOARD THE MARLIN OMEGA. MIKE AND STEPHANIE McMAHON LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME AS SCENES ARE SHOWN OF THEM DANCING AND DRINKING. THE SHOT THEN CUTS TO A MORE PRIVATE SETTING, WHERE MIKE AND STEPH ARE LAYING IN BED TOGETHER.

Money Mike: "What's up guys? Just thought I'd touch bases with you and let you know that Steph and I are having the time of our lives on this cruise. I'll be back on Rampage to kick some ass soon enough, but I know you guys are fine and Jason, I know the Horsemen are in good hands without me. Oh and one other thing, there has been no mention of The Starman this entire trip. (Mike cracks a smile) But that's all the time I've got right now guys, we're gonna shut the lights off and do our thing, which I would keep recording, but I doubt the folks over on the USA network would appreciate it. See you guys soon".

STEPHANIE REACHES OVER AND PULLS DOWN THE SWITCH ON A LAMP, TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF.

"Wanna Know" by Obie Trice, the new theme song for Max Ogden, hits and Ogden comes out to a huge reaction. Ogden gets into the ring and grabs a mic after doing a pose of crossing his arms in an "X" over his head.

Max Ogden: "Woo... What up South Dakota?!

The crowd erupts in cheers as Ogden smiles.

Max Ogden: Tonight... I have my first match away from The Hart Family in well, a long time. And tonight, I face Carlito. Wow, that's scary. I mean, who wouldn't be scared of a guy with an afro? Not only a guy with an afro, a guys with an afro who isn't black, I'm shaking. And Mark Henry might be at ringside guys so watch out, the World's Biggest Rapist might get involved! Ya'll wanna hear about what happened last week? All week I've heard, Max, thank you for breaking away from The Hart Family! But why did you do it?! Why... Well, I think it should be self explanatory. I did all of these things with The Hart Family and Jimmy Hart took the credit for it all. Took the credit for making me what I am today. Please Jimmy, you couldn't make a woman orgasm if you had diamond d*ck Sylvain, dude, get some new pants. And do me a favor stop looking through my underwear, it's creepin' me out. But anyways, Hart Family and Max Ogden, done for good. Jake Roberts and Max Ogden... Not done. You see Jake, we might have a mutual hate for the Hart Family, but we aren't friends. I have all the respect in the world for you my friend, without a shadow of a doubt! But you haven't stepped in the ring with me, which is one thing missing from your career. So I'm going to make an announcement that concerns Jake Roberts, The Hart Family and Anarchy Rulz. So I guess Ogden and the Family aren't done, woops, contradiction is a bitch. So At Anarchy Rulz it's fan choice, So you all can choose my opponent. Choice number one, Max Ogden versus Sylvain Grenier, number two, Max Ogden versus Jake "The Snake" Roberts. And numero tres... Max Ogden versus umm... Jimmy Hart! So gentlemen, I'll see one of you three at Anarchy Rulz, just depends on who the fans choose and Jimmy, there's no backing out of this and that..... that's a damn fact"!

OGDEN DROPS THE MIC AS "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL HITS AND CARLITO COMES OUT WITH MARK HENRY.

BUT BEFORE THE MATCH CAN EVEN START, SYLVAIN GRENIER COMES FROM OUT OF THE CROWD AND ATTACKS OGDEN FROM BEHIND AS JIMMY HART CALLS SHOTS THROUGH HIS MEGAPHONE.

J.R.: "Look at this, Grenier is mugging Ogden"!

Lawler: "Hey, he asked for this"!

SURPRISINGLY, CARLITO GRABBED A CHAIR OF HIS OWN AND CAME TO THE RING, LOOKING TO HELP OGDEN. HE TOOK A SWING WITH THE CHAIR AS HENRY HELD GRENIER BACK BUT GRENIER DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY AND CARLITO SMASHED HENRY OVER THE HEAD! BUT UNPHASED, AN ANGRY HENRY PUNCHED THE CHAIR OUT OF CARLITO's HANDS AND PICKED HIM UP IN A MILITARY PRESS, LAUNCHING HIM OUT OF THE RING. HENRY STOOD TALL AS GRENIER AND HART GOT OUT OF THERE WHILE OGDEN AND CARLITO WERE LEFT BEATEN AND BRUISED.

Lawler: "Did you see that?! Some bodyguard Mark Henry is"!

J.R.: "Carlito was obviously not trying to hit Henry with that chair but Henry just destroyed the man who basically employed him here in the TWF"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, KRISTAL HAS CAUGHT UP WITH TRAVIS WAKEMAN.

Kristal: "Travis, tonight, two women will do battle over you and if Melina can defeat your wife Trish, she becomes your manager. I just have to ask, is there one woman you'd rather see win this match"?

WAKEMAN GIVES KRISTAL A FUNNY LOOK.

Travis Wakeman: "Look Kristal, I'm the TWF World champion, I really have better things to talk about right now. But that, that was a really stupid question".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE HORSEMEN THEME IS PLAYING AND J.J. RAMPLIN IS COMING ALONG WITH JASON OLIVER, WHO HOLDS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

J.R.: "That match between Melina and Trish is coming up a little later but as we heard earlier, that man, Jason Oliver will defend the King of Cable title against Rey Mysterio at Anarchy Rulz and fans will have the ability to vote on the type of match they will compete in".

Lawler: "Did you see that footage Money Mike sent in though? I want to be over there with him in Andros"!

"BOOYAKA 619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDER THE RAMP, HEADING TO THE RING TO A VERY FAVORABLE CHEER.

J.R.: "Rey Mysterio is extremely popular whereever we go and what a win it would be if he could take that King of Cable title from Oliver".

Lawler: "Oliver will be able to scout Mysterio very well tonight and if J.J. Ramplin can beat him, that will be a huge blow to Mysterio"!

J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin w/ Jason Oliver vs. Rey Mysterio

Rey had a lot of trouble with the size and strength of The Ram in this one and Oliver shouted in some very useful pointers from his corner. When Rey went for his wheelbarrow bulldog, Ramplin took him and threw him across the ring. He then went for the "Ram's Horns" but Rey narrowly got out of the way. Rey then tried to knot up the legs of Ramplin by kicking the back of both of them before grabbing Ramplin around the head and neck and using the ropes to hit a springboard bulldog. Rey then went to the corner and tried for a split legged moonsault but Ramplin got his knees up. The Ram then whipped Rey to the ropes and caught him with a perfect powerslam, hooking the leg for the 1......2......., but Rey was up. Mysterio got up very gingerly and Ramplin went for his running spear again but Rey countered with a drop toehold and then went for the 6-1-9 but Oliver pushed The Ram off the ropes, only to be hit by the move himself. Ramplin then came from behind and went for a release german suplex, only to have Rey land on his feet after a flip and he then used a small package to counter a charging Ramplin to get the 1.......2........3.

Match Time: 9:44

J.R.: "He got him, oh what a counter by Mysterio"!

OLIVER GOT UP, LOOKING ON AT REY WHO WAS WALKING UP THE RAMP TO A HUGE CHEER WITH A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "That was lucky and you know it! Mysterio won't be that lucky at Anarchy Rulz"!

J.R.: "Well fans when the voting begins, you will be able to choose if you want Mysterio to face Oliver inside a steel cage, a ladder match or a submission match and I can't wait for that to take place"!

BACKSTAGE........

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET IS PLAYING AND THE HARDY BOYZ ARE IN THE RING, WEARING THEIR OLD GEAR, BLACK BAGGY JEANS AND THEIR PURPLE AND GREEN TANK TOP SHIRTS CONTAINING THE OLD HARDY BOYZ LOGO.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage and look what we have here King, it's the Hardy Boyz"!

Lawler: "Well we all saw what happened when Matt Hardy decided to turn his back on the Mattitude era and reform a team with his brother"!

Matt Hardy: "What's up Sioux Falls?!

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS

My brother Jeff and I are out here tonight to do something we know you have been waiting years for and that is to officially announce the reformation of the Hardy Boyz!

THE CROWD CHEERS AGAIN

And with that, I am also out here to personally announce the end of Mattitude, it's gone, ancient history"!

THE CROWD STARTS TO CHEER BUT THEY STOP WHEN JOHNNY JETER EMERGES FROM THE BACK IN STREET CLOTHES, A MICROPHONE IN HAND.

Johnny Jeter: "Good for you guys, you gave the people what they wanted. Matt, I'll admit, I thought differently of you. I thought you'd tell that multi-colored hair freak show brother of yours to stick it, especially since even you know he drug you down your entire career! But no matter, I never bought into any of your Mattitude crap anyway, I just wanted to get my name out there. I was getting sick of being your little lackey anyway and now, I have the chance to hang with guys who truly are my friends, guys that have stuck together for a long time now".

J.R.: "Oh look out"!

JUST THEN, THE HARDY BOYZ ARE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY THE SPIRIT SQUAD WHO CAME FROM THE CROWD. MATT AND JEFF TRIED TO HOLD THEIR OWN BUT THE 4 ON 2 ODDS WERE TOO MUCH TO OVERCOME. AFTER GETTING JEFF OUT OF THE RING, KENNY, MIKEY, NICKY AND MITCH EACH GRABBED A LIMB ON MATT AND FLUNG HIM INTO THE AIR. MATT LANDED WITH PLENTY OF IMPACT AND THE CROWD WENT INTO SOME LOUD BOOS AS THE SPIRIT SQUAD's MUSIC HIT. ASHLEY K. APPEARED ON THE STAGE WITH JETER AND GAVE HIM A HUG AS THE REST OF THE SQUAD DANCED AND CELEBRATED IN THE RING.

Lawler: "Well it looks like Jeter has found some guys that aren't gonna leave him hanging J.R."!

J.R.: "The Spirit Squad has come out and sent a serious message to the Hardy's, look at the smile on Jeter's face"!

Lawler: "He looks about as happy as Paul Heyman did after Joe Corey attacked Jordan Rockwell at Payback"!

THAT COMMENT BRINGS UP FOOTAGE FROM PAYBACK OF THAT VERY ATTACK WHERE COREY SHOWED UP, SMASHED A BEER BOTTLE OVER JORDAN ROCKWELL's HEAD AND LEFT WITH PAUL HEYMAN AS JBL PICKED UP A WIN OVER ROCKWELL.

J.R.: "And that is a situation I still don't understand! Why did Corey do it?!

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP CONTAINING THE PRIMETIME LOGO FEATURING COREY AND HEYMAN.

This week on PrimeTime will be our chance to find out as Joe Corey has been invited to PrimeTime by Shane McMahon in order to explain his actions".

JUST THEN, A RED CARPET IS ROLLED OUT BY A FEW STAGEHANDS AS HOLLYWOOD HEAT's MUSIC HITS AND MELINA COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS. SHE IS WEARING A RED SEE THROUGH TOP AND BLACK TIGHTS.

Lawler: "I can't wait for that, but look at this"!

J.R.: "It's time for Melina and Trish and as if that wasn't enough, directly after this match, John Cena and Rob Van Dam will battle for the number one contender's spot"!

MELINA GETS TO THE FOOT OF THE RING AND THE CROWD BOOS AS SHE DECIDES NOT TO PERFORM HER USUAL RING ENTRANCE.

J.R.: "Ah, come on Melina, that's the best part! Ya think she'll do it for me in private later"?

J.R.: "I wouldn't hold your breath.

THE CROWD GOES INTO A BIG CHEER AS "TIME TO ROCK N' ROLL" BY LIL' KIM PLAYS AND TRISH STRATUS COMES OUT, STICKING THE WOMEN's TITLE BELT UP IN HER RIGHT HAND.

And here comes our Women's champion but as we know King, this match is not about the title".

Lawler: "I can't ever remember two women fighting over one man the way these two are and I still can't believe Trish agreed to this match"!

J.R.: "Well the problem I have is one of these ladies is married to that aforementioned man, the World champion Travis Wakeman, but should Trish lose this match tonight, Melina wins the right to become Wakeman's manager! Now how crazy would that be"?!

Non-Title Match

Melina vs. Women's Champ Trish Stratus

As soon as Trish got into the ring, she dropped the belt and charged Melina, lifting her up by both legs and dropping her on the mat. The bell rang and the fans cheered as the fight was on. Melina did her best to try and reverse positions and get on top of Trish but Trish was getting in some heavy shots. Melina finally pulled at Trish's blonde locks and that forced a break from referee Jack Doan. Both women got to their feet but Trish again beat her to the strike, kicking Melina in the gut before hammering her with 2 hard forearms to the head. She then shot her to the ropes but Melina came off with an impressive hair whip takedown. She then mounted Trish and gave her a dose of her own medicine, ramming the back of her head into the mat. With Trish hurting, Melina gave her a running kick to the left side of the ribs before screaming some unpleasant words towards her. Melina pulled her up by the hair and pushed her to the corner, slapping her chest with 2 knifedge chops. She then went for an irish whip but Trish reversed it and followed in with a clothesline before doing a headstand and wrapping her legs around Melina's neck. Trish then swung around with a whirly bird and Melina was shot across the ring. Trish then did her best impression of the Thesz press, smashing Melina with more haymakers. She picked her up and whipped her to the ropes but Melina ducked a clothesline and hit a nice crossbody to score a 2 count. Looking to capitalize, Melina went for a vertical suplex but Trish countered into one of her own. She then whipped Melina to the ropes again and caught her with a nice spinebuster. Trish made the cover and got 1.......2.........., but Melina was up. Feeling like she had her where she wanted her, Trish grabbed her in a side headlock before pointing to the crowd, signaling for the "Stratusfaction". But when she tried to bounce off the ropes, she lost her footing and fell hard on the mat, hitting the back of her head. Melina then stacked her up and, with her feet on the ropes, got the 3 count from Doan.

Match Time: 8:07

Lawler: "She got her! Melina just pinned Trish"!

J.R.: "This is so unfortunate folks, Melina had her feet on the ropes and referee Jack Doan didn't catch it, but it's too late now".

TRISH WAS NEAR TEARS IN THE RING AS MELINA LEFT WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE, LOOKING BACK AT HER IN THE RING.

Lawler: "Well Trish didn't lose her Women's title but Melina has become the new manager of the World champion Travis Wakeman"!

J.R.: "Well I can assure you Trish would make a trade in a heartbeat there King".

BACKSTAGE AREA........

Mick Foley: "Excuse me, what is this"?

VICTORIA QUICKLY WALKS AWAY.

Jesse Steele: "Uh, I'm just here doing some more scouting Mick, you got a problem with that"?

Foley: "Aren't you satisfied yet? I mean, you already got Kurt Angle".

Steele: "That's your fault Mick, you signed that match between he and Wakeman, you didn't have to. But to answer your question, no, I'm not satisfied, not until SlaughterHouse is given it's due".

Foley: "Well to answer your question, yes, I do have a problem with you sneaking into our shows and trying to steal away our superstars. You guys want your due, well how about this? Anarchy Rulz is an event where the fans have the power to choose. I propose that a team of Rampage superstars faces a team of SlaughterHouse superstars. You and I select some of the combatants, and the fans vote for their partners, how's that sound, Jesse"?

Steele: "You are going to give us the chance to beat you at your own event? You got it Mick, we'll be in touch".

STEELE WALKS OFF AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

J.R.: "Well we've been promising it all night and it is ready to happen, Rob Van Dam versus John Cena for the number one contendership"!

Lawler: "This is gonna be a great match between two guys who are extremely popular among the fans and what I find interesting about this is these are the two men who spurned Shawn Michaels when he tried to get them to turn their backs on the fans"!

"THE TIME IS NOW" STARTS UP AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A BIG POP, ALTHOUGH A FEW BOOS CAN BE HEARD HERE AND THERE.

J.R.: "Shawn Michaels assured these two men that the fans would bring them down. Well that doesn't appear to be the case as they both have a huge oppurtinity tonight. Now, we can confirm that Travis Wakeman will defend the TWF World title at Anarchy Rulz against a man voted upon by the fans but the winner of this match is guaranteed to main event MeltDown, King"!

Lawler: "And that is huge and you know both these guys are gonna go all out in order to secure that match"!

#1 Contender for TWF World Title

Rob Van Dam vs. John Cena

The bell sounded and referee Jimmy Korderas was ready to go as Cena and Van Dam started things with a handshake. They then locked up in a collar and elbow tie and Cena, the stronger of the two, was able to shrug RVD off, sending him into the corner. He then whipped him to the opposite side and followed in but RVD leaped up to the middle turnbuckle and faked a reverse crossbody, getting Cena to drop down. When Cena got up, Van Dam came off with a flying kick to the jaw. After a spinning legdrop, RVD pulled Cena up and shot him to the corner, following in with a monkey flip. He then went for the Rolling Thunder but it was too early in the match and Cena got both knees up, burying them deep into the back of RVD. Cena got up and pulled Van Dam with him, hitting his spinning suplex slam. He made the cover but RVD got his shoulder off the mat at 2. After a big scoop slam, Cena set up for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle and delivered it with a resounding falling right hand. He made another cover but again, could only get a 2 count. Cena whipped RVD to the ropes but missed with a clothesline and RVD struck with his most dangerous weapon, his feet. After a kick to the midsection, he caught Cena with a jumping enziguri which didn't even take him down. But a spinning heel kick did and then, RVD was able to hit the Rolling Thunder. He made the cover but Cena was up at 2 and a half. RVD pulled Cena up, looking for a suplex but Cena used his foot to block it before muscling Van Dam up and he tried to put him on the top turnbuckle but RVD was able to fall to the apron while countering with a hangman over the top rope. RVD quickly ascended to the top rope and flew off with a corssbody but, seeing him in the air just in time, Cena caught him in mid air. Then, in an amazing show of power, he threw him to his shoulders and drove him into the mat with the "F-U". Cena topped RVD and hooked both legs as Korderas got down to issue the 1........2..........3.

Match Time: 8:16

J.R.: "Wow, what a counter by Cena! I can't believe he just did that King"!

Lawler: "I don't think anyone can, including RVD! He thought he had this thing one"!

RVD SLOWLY GOT UP WITH HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS, A VERY DISAPPOINTED LOOK ON HIS FACE. AFTER A FEW TENSE MOMENTS, RVD EXTENDED HIS HAND AND CENA SHOOK IT AS "THE TIME IS NOW" KICKED UP.

J.R.: "There ya go, ya gotta like that folks, great sportsmanship from two classy guys"!

Lawler: "But you gotta wonder, if the shoe was on the other foot, would Cena have responded the way RVD just did"?!

J.R.: "None of that is relevant at this point King, the one thing we do now is that John Cena has just punched his ticket for MeltDown"!

CENA WAS SHOWN CELEBRATING IN THE RING AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.
