RIGHT AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR LIVE FROM THE OCEAN CENTER IN DAYTONA BEACH, THE CROWD GOES CRAZY WHEN "MAKE WAY" HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT ALONG WITH MELINA. WAKEMAN TAKES A LONG LOOK THROUGH THE CROWD BEFORE RAISING THE WORLD TITLE HIGH IN THE AIR BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Jim Ross: "Thank you for joining us live for TWF Rampage and for those of you who missed out on the greatest event the TWF has ever held, Travis Wakeman fought one of the greatest fights in the history of this business to retain his World championship"!

Jerry Lawler: "The match between Travis Wakeman and Money Mike will be talked about for years to come, J.R.! Money Mike threw everything at the champ"!

J.R.: "That he did, but it wasn't enough to take the title and now, we prepare ourselves for Wakeman's victory speech"!

Travis Wakeman: "Wow, thank you guys.

WAKEMAN PAUSES TO TAKE IN SOME MORE CHEERS.

Well, I know most everybody watching tonight saw WrestleMania, and you guys saw Money Mike take me to the limit. Yeah, he did. But it wasn't enough! (Wakeman raises the belt up again) Mike, you gave me everything you had, and it wasn't enough! But, if you ever want another shot, all you have to is ask! I won't go and slap your old wrestling coach or go beat down your dad.... I'll come right up to your face and say....... let's do it again"!

JUST THEN, "KING OF KING's" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND MONEY MIKE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING ALONG WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON. BOOS FILL THE OCEAN CENTER AT THE SIGHT OF THEM.

Lawler: "That didn't take long"!

J.R.: "Well here comes Money Mike and with the tension between these two men at an all time high, this situation could get explosive"!

MONEY MIKE GETS ANOTHER MICROPHONE, BUT BEFORE HE CAN SPEAK, A DEAFENING "YOU TAPPED OUT" CHANT STARTS UP.

Money Mike: "Yeah, go ahead people, chant that all you want! You're right, Wakeman did make me tap out..... but there is no way in hell that he could ever do it again! Wakeman...... you say if I want another title shot, all I have to do is ask.... well I say.........

SUDDENLY, "NO CHANCE" PLAYS AND VINCE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A SURPRISED RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD.

Lawler: "Oh my gosh, J.R., it's the boss"!

J.R.: "The chairman of the TWF is here in Daytona Beach, fresh off trying to take the title away from Wakeman at WrestleMania"!

Vince McMahon: "Hold up just a damn minute!

THE CROWD BREAKS OUT INTO A CHANT OF "ASSHOLE".

Shut up! Now before you two go agreeing to fight again, I have to inform everyone that Travis Wakeman was so confident he would win the title at WrestleMania, that he requested there be no rematch clause in his contract. Now, he could still give Money Mike another shot, but I have a different idea. But first, let's talk about our next Pay-Per-View event, Foul Play. At Foul Play, it will the General Manager of Rampage, Muhammad Hassan, going one on one with the General Manager of PrimeTime, my own son, Shane McMahon"!

J.R.: "Wow, what a match"!

Lawler: "Do you think it'll be okay for us to root for Shane in that one"?

Vince: "Now, whoever wins that match, will have the power to select one superstar from the other's division to sign a brand new contract with their division! After Foul Play, I will initiate the roster draft"!

Lawler: "The draft again"?!

J.R.: "It sounds that way and if the past is any indicator, the draft is sure to be wild"!

Vince: "But Wakeman...... it doesn't matter to me whether you end up on Rampage or on PrimeTime, because at Foul Play, you will defend that TWF World title of yours against........... me"!

Lawler: "What"?!

J.R.: "The chairman is going to be the next to challenge Travis Wakeman.... and it's gonna be at Foul Play"!

"NO CHANCE" PLAYS AGAIN AND VINCE JUST STARES OVER AT WAKEMAN, WHO SEEMS TO BE GETTING SOME ADVICE FROM MELINA.

J.R.: "Two bombshell announcements for Foul Play.... and we're just getting started"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, EYE SPY's ENTRANCE THEME HITS AND THEY MAKE THEIR WAY OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE ALONG WITH CANDICE MICHELLE. CANDICE IS ARM IN ARM WITH BOTH MEN AND ALEX SHELLEY IS CARRYING A CAMCORDER.

J.R.: "We are back live on the USA network and we are ready for our first of two WrestleMania rematches"!

Lawler: "There were a lot of fans left wanting more when these two teams went at it the other night, J.R., and they're gonna get that right now"!

THE WORLD's GREATEST TAG TEAM's MUSIC COMES ON AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER WITH THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND THEIR WAISTS.

J.R.: "These two teams opened up WrestleMania with a double count out and I know many folks, myself included, were left a little unsatisfied by that"!

Lawler: "But no one was more unsatisfied than Max Ogden and Alex Shelley..... these guys are ready to win the tag team titles and oh my gosh, take a look at Candice"!

Rampage Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Eye Spy w/ Candice vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team

As the bell sounded to start the match, Charlie Haas started things off with Alex Shelley. Haas tried to overpower Shelley, taking him to the mat but Shelley was able to get out of his clutches and with both men on their feet, Shelley caught Haas with a impactful jump kick to the back of the head. A quick tag was made to Ogden and Shelley held Haas down by the arms as Ogden slung himself into the ring from the apron with an elbow drop. Ogden grabbed Haas in a front facelock, but Haas powered up and suplexed Ogden over his head. He then hit the ropes, but Ogden caught him with a spinning heel kick across the face. Shelley tagged back in, and put the boots to Haas when he came in, kicking him several times in the abdomen. After whipping Haas to the corner, Shelley ran in, looking for a monkey flip. But Haas held the ropes to block it and Shelley just fell hard to the mat. Haas then ran him over with a clothesline before making the tag to Shelton Benjamin, who was all fired up. After drilling Shelley with 3 right hands, Benjamin hit the ropes for a big clothesline before whipping him to the corner and following in with his big jumping body splash. Shelton then turned to catch Ogden coming in with a right hand, but when he turned back to Shelley, Shelley kicked him in the midsection before leaping to the middle turnbuckle and flying off with a kick right to the face. Shelley then delivered a big leg drop and covered Shelton for a very near fall. Shelley pulled Shelton up and went for an irish whip, but Shelton reversed it and caught him with a big powerslam. He didn't have enough in him to make the cover, and both men were down. They both began to make their ways to their corners and tags were made at the same time to Ogden and Haas. Haas beat Ogden to the punch, but when he hit the ropes, Ogden took him out with a dropkick. He then went to the top rope and came off with a nice blockbuster neckbreaker. Ogden went into a quick cover but Haas kicked out at 2. After a snap mare, Ogden tagged in Shelley and then held Haas in place for Shelley to hit the ropes and kick him right in the back of the head. Shelley then tagged Ogden right back in and Ogden yelled "Get the camera". Ogden was setting Haas up for something and Shelley grabbed the camera as if ready to start recording. Suddenly, Ogden turned and tried to cheap shot Benjamin, but Benjamin blocked the punch and pulled him down over the top rope with a hangman which led him to fall right into the arms of Haas who delivered his Exploder Suplex to get the 1.........2........3.

Match Time: 8:08

J.R.: "What a suplex by Charlie Haas and the World's Greatest Tag Team has retained the Tag Team titles"!

HAAS AND BENJAMIN CELEBRATED IN THE RING WHILE THEIR MUSIC PLAYED AND THE CROWD CHEERED. CANDICE LED HER TEAM, WHICH WAS CLEARLY ANGRY, UP THE RAMP.

Lawler: "This is terrible, I really thought this was the night for Eye Spy".

J.R.: "Well they got some of it on that camcorder, maybe they can watch the tape and learn from their mistakes"!

BACKSTAGE......

MUHAMMAD HASSAN IS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICE WITH HIS ASSISTANTS, MACKENZIE ROSE AND PSYCHOSIS.

Mackenzie Rose: "This is great, at Foul Play, we got Shane McMahon".

Muhammad Hassan: "No, I got Shane McMahon. Now what I need you two to do, is to go out and find something to help me get ready for this match. I don't care what it is, just go find something".

ROSE AND PSYCHOSIS WALK AWAY WHEN ROB STORM AND ALDO CORLEONE, THE CANADIAN-ITALIAN EXCHANGE, WALKS UP.

Hassan: "How can I help you two"?

Rob Storm: "Well, the big man and I would like to talk about your little..... Mick Foley problem".

Hassan: "Ah.... close the door please".

ALDO CLOSES THE DOOR TO THE OFFICE BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

AN INDIAN WARCHANT IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" BEFORE TATANKA COMES OUT ALONGSIDE TED DIBIASE TO NUMEROUS BOOS.

Lawler: "Who or what are Psychosis and Mckenzie Rose gonna come back with"?

J.R.: "Who knows, King, and as much as I hate to think about it, if Muhammad Hassan can defeat Shane McMahon at Foul Play, I like the idea of some of the guys on PrimeTime being the man to come over to Rampage".

Lawler: "Yeah, but if Hassan loses, we might lose one of our big guns to PrimeTime".

"THE NEXT EPISODE" COMES ON AND MATT CRUZ COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER.

J.R.: "Matt Cruz of course coming off that spectacular match with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania, he needs to be able to focus and get back on the winning track tonight".

Lawler: "That won't be an easy task against Ted Dibiase's million dollar Native American"!

Matt "Madik" Cruz vs. Tatanka w/ Ted Dibiase

Tatanka and Cruz locked up and Cruz aggressively whipped Tatanka to the mat with an armdrag. Tatanka tried to roll out of it, but Cruz kept the armbar on and whipped him to the ropes before drilling him with a clothesline. Cruz went into a reverse chinlock, but Tatanka stood up and delivered a backdrop suplex to get himself back into the match. Tatanka hit the ropes, clubbing Cruz back to the mat with a tomahawk chop. After three stiff chops to the chest, Tatanka shot Cruz to the ropes and followed in with a clothesline. But when he got him on his shoulders for the Trail's End, Cruz slipped off and ran him to the ropes, rolling him up for the 1.......2........, but Tatanka pushed out. Both men got to their feet and Cruz scored with a succession of right hands. Cruz then hit the ropes and flew into the Native American with a shoulder tackle that knocked him through the ropes and to the floor. Dibiase ran over to help Tatanka regroup and at the count of 6, Tatanka got to the apron. Cruz grabbed him, ready to bring him back into the ring with a suplex, but when he lifted him up, Dibiase pulled Cruz's foot out from under him, tripping him up. Tatanka then landed in a cover and Dibiase held Cruz's right foot down, making a kick out impossible as referee Scott Martin got the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:17

J.R.: "Come on ref..... didn't you see what Dibiase just did"!

Lawler: "Apparently not cause Tatanka is the winner"!

J.R.: "Well it looks like Matt Cruz has a bit of a WrestleMania hangover here and folks if you missed WrestleMania, what a great, great event it was! take a look........

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH ALL 6 MEMBERS OF ECW.

Todd Grisham: "We are back live here on Rampage and I am with ECW who had a very successful night for themselves at WrestleMania".

Joe Corey: "Successful wouldn't begin to describe it, Todd. ECW cemented itself as the single strongest force in this business today. Let me introduce you all to the man who began to realize his potential at WrestleMania, the man who waved the ECW flag proud and the man who is the new King of Cable.... J.J. Ramplin".

J.J. RAMPLIN STEPS INTO THE SHOT WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

Grisham: "J.J., I gotta ask, how does it feel to be the new King of Cable"?

J.J. Ramplin: "It's about time I have something to show all these people around here and all the people watching around the world why I am the top young wrestler the TWF has to offer. Jason Oliver...... after I beat your ass at WrestleMania, I grabbed that ECW flag and waved it over my head! That was the single greatest moment of my life and it will take quite a bit to top it"!

Grisham: "Well then, I guess the only question is, who is next in line for a shot at your ECW World title, Corey"?

Corey: "Are you kidding? After my sound destruction of Nemesis, I think I may've extinguished anyone who thought about getting in my....... getting in our way"!

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, WHERE KENNY DOANE IS INSIDE AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING.

SECONDS LATER, "CRUNK MUZIK" BY JIM JONES COMES ON AND A NEW FACE TO THE RAMPAGE ROSTER STEPS OUT TO MINIMAL RESPONSE.

J.R.: "ECW is definitely confident following WrestleMania, but it's time to take our first look at a new superstar here in the TWF, King"!

Lawler: "This is Tyrone Zorilla. I talked to him today and he kind of scared me to be honest, J.R., he's had a rough life".

J.R.: "Zorilla was born and raised in Brooklyn, but most of that life was lived on the streets, literally".

Lawler: "Well looking over at Kenny Doane, he's not impressed by this guy and he plans to make his Rampage debut one he'd like to forget"!

Kenny Doane vs. Tyrone Zorilla

The match started and the two young athletes circled one another, looking for their spot. Doane lunged in but Zorilla cracked him in the jaw with a left jab. Off an irish whip, Zorilla scored with a back elbow before delivering a big elbow drop. He went for a cover but Doane was up at 2. Zorilla pulled him up and whipped him to the corner, but he ran right into a kick to the face and Doane then drilled him with a clothesline. After hitting the ropes, Doane dropkicked Zorilla right in the ribs before using an Oklahoma roll to get a near fall. Doane pulled Zorilla up, but Zorilla swept his arms out and landed 3 right hands followed by a jump kick to the face. After a big powerslam, Zorilla used a breakdance move into a legdrop and again, got a long 2 count. Doane was in trouble as Zorilla sent him to the corner, but Doane moved out of the way and Zorilla posted his right shoulder and seemed to be in an extreme amount of pain. Doane then caught him with a nasty rolling neckbreaker, hooking the leg to get the win.

Match Time: 6:39

Lawler: "That does it, J.R., that neckbreaker from Kenny turned this new guy's lights out"!

DOANE's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE CELEBRATED THE WIN AS ZORILLA PICKED HIMSELF UP IN THE RING.

J.R.: "Well it's not the first impression Tyrone Zorilla wanted to make, but he'll have many more chances in his career, I truly believe that".

BACKSTAGE.......

JOE COREY AND PAUL HEYMAN ARE TALKING AND SHARING A LAUGH WHEN BATISTA STROLLS UP.

Joe Corey: "Is there something I can do for you? The weight room is upstairs, I think".

Batista: "Yeah, very funny. I heard what you had to say about there not being any challengers for your title there and I was.......

Corey: "Stop right there. Don't tell me you think you deserve a shot at this.

BATISTA JUST STARES AT HIM.

Oh, you do think you deserve a shot. Well, maybe you'll get one..... when you earn it".

COREY AND HEYMAN WALK AWAY AS BATISTA JUST LOOKS ON, ALMOST LAUGHING.

"MISTERRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KEN KENNEDY COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND MOSTLY ALL BOOS AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

J.R.: "What does Batista need to do to earn a shot? Joe Corey seems to be dodging the animal if you ask me"!

Lawler: "He's not obligated to give him a title shot, so why should he"?

J.R.: "Batista will be in action later tonight and maybe he can take a step towards earning that title shot but right now, it's time for yet another WrestleMania rematch"!

KENNEDY PACES BACK AND FORTH IN THE RING, LOOKING ON AT THE ENTRYWAY BEFORE DUDE LOVE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.

Lawler: "Oh boy, here he comes"!

DUDE LOVE IS WITH TWO VERY PRETTY YOUNG LADIES, WHO BREAK INTO A DANCE WITH HIM.

J.R.: "Look at the Dude bumpin' and grindin'"!

Lawler: "This looks like a really bad episode of Soul Train"!

J.R.: "Dude Love was able to come out of WrestleMania victorious over Kennedy and ya know that had to be a blow to Muhammad Hassan"!

Lawler: "Kennedy's got a chance to redeem himself tonight though, and he looks ready to do just that"!

Mr. Kennedy vs. Dude Love

The bell sounded and Kennedy seemed overly confident, despite the previous loss to Dude Love. The two men locked up and Kennedy snuck in a big knee lift before hammering Dude Love with 2 straight right hands. But Dude Love reversed an irish whip and shot Kennedy up into the air with a big backbody drop. After a succession of right hands, Dude Love kicked Kennedy in the stomach and delivered a huge piledriver. Dude Love went into a cover, but Kennedy kicked out at 2. Dude kept the pressure on though, punching Kennedy in the back of the head as he tried to get up, showing a real mean streak. Dude then got Kennedy down in the corner and set up for what looked like a running knee to the head, but Kennedy rolled out of the ring to regroup. Dude Love was going to come out after him, but Rob Storm came out and began distracting referee Chad Patton, turning his attention from the action. As this was going on, Aldo Corleone came into the ring and drilled Dude Love with the Mafia Kick. Kennedy then went to the top rope as Aldo got out of the ring and he flew off with the Ken-Ton Bomb, covering Dude Love for the win.

Match Time: 6:54

J.R.: "Now what the hell was that?! That turned into three on one"!

Lawler: "Well we heard Rob Storm tell Muhammad Hassan they would take care of his Mick Foley problem, and it looks like they're making good on that"!

KENNEDY LEFT WITH THE WIN, BUT THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOED AS THE CANADIAN-ITALIAN EXCHANGE BEAT DUDE LOVE DOWN. WITH DUDE LOVE INCAPACITATED, ALDO DELIVERED THE "ALDO BOMB" BEFORE LEAVING HIM LAYING IN THE RING.

J.R.: "They're picking Dude Love apart! For God sake.... someone get out here and stop this"!

Lawler: "Well they've sure done a number here on Dude Love and ya know Muhammad Hassan's gotta have a huge smile on his face right about now"!

Triple Threat/#1 Contender for Women's Title

Trinity vs. Ashley K. vs. Luyu Dawnstar

When Rampage returned, action was ongoing in the ring and the fans seemed very into this triple threat divas contest that carried a title shot for the winner. Luyu and Trinity worked together against the hated Ashley K., trying to take her out before going at it one on one. Luyu was able to connect with a great hurracanrana, but when she went for the pin, Trinity came and pulled her off. Trinity and Luyu then went into a shoving match, and Ashley did nothing but benefit from this. Luyu shoved Trinity to the mat, but when she turned back around, Ashley pulled her by the front of her attire and sent her through the ring ropes to the floor. Trinity got up and went for a clothesline but Ashley ducked and delivered a nasty DDT. With Luyu still down on the floor, Ashley sprung into a cartwheel before dropping a big elbow on Trinity, a very athletic move that got her the win.

Match Time: 8:39

BACKSTAGE.......

STEPHANIE McMAHON IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN OF ALL PEOPLE, TAYLOR MADE COMES UP.

Taylor Made: "Hey Steph.

STEPH TURNS TO SEE TAYLOR AND LOOKS SURPRISED.

Look, we haven't had time to talk in awhile, and I just kind of wanted to.......

Stephanie McMahon: "Uh, I don't know if I should be talking to you".

Taylor: "Look, I'm not trying to start anything. I just remember the good times you and I used to have together and.......

JUST THEN, VINCE McMAHON COMES UP.

Vince McMahon: "Excuse me, do we have a problem here"?

Taylor: "No, no problem".

Vince: "I'm already going to give Travis Wakeman the ass kicking of a lifetime at Foul Play! If you don't watch it, you might get one youself! Let's go, Steph".

VINCE HOLDS OUT HIS ARM AND STEPH LATCHES ONTO IT BEFORE THEY LEAVE. THE CAMERA GETS A CLOSE UP OF TAYLOR, WHO SEEMS UNPHASED.

BACK IN THE RING, LANCE CADE AND TREVOR MURDOCH ARE TRADING INSULTS WITH THE FANS WHILE THEIR MUSIC PLAYS.

Lawler: "I don't know, J.R., Taylor Made might be barking up the wrong tree there if you ask me".

THE CROWD GOES WILD AS "I WALK ALONE" BY SALIVA COMES ON, BRINGING BATISTA OUT.

J.R.: "You may be right, King, which is exactly what Trevor Murdoch may've done agreeing to face this man"!

Lawler: "And Batista might have some extra motivation tonight after his run-in with Joe Corey"!

J.R.: "The ECW Champion told Batista he doesn't feel he deserves a title shot, so maybe he can change his mind here although my gut tells me that the better Batista looks, the more he won't deserve a title shot, at least in the mind of Joe Corey".

Trevor Murdoch w/ Lance Cade vs. Batista

With Cade at ringside running interference, Murdoch actually gave the animal a run for his money in this one. Murdoch's dirty tactics, including eye gouges and choking with the ring ropes, slowed Batista, but couldn't keep him down. Murdoch pounded Batista across the back of the head after controlling the first five minutes of the match. But when he bounced off the ropes, Batista met him with a clothesline that turned things around. Murdoch looked like he didn't know what hit him as the powerhouse Batista began to take over. After another clothesline, Batista lifted Murdoch to his shoulder and delivered a running powerslam. He then picked him up and shot him to the ropes, catching him with a big spinebuster. Batista then shook the ring ropes wildly and Cade could only watch as his partner fell victim to the "Batista Bomb" and referee Scott Martin registered the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 7:57

J.R.: "Chalk one up for the animal.... what an impressive win that was"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute, J.R., here comes ECW"!

BEFORE BATISTA COULD REALLY CELEBRATE THE WIN, JOE COREY AND SYLVESTER TERKAY HIT THE RING. COREY TOOK BATISTA DOWN WITH A CHOP BLOCK BEFORE HE AND TERKAY DOUBLE TEAMED THE ANIMAL. BATISTA WAS THEN PULLED UP, AND TERKAY USED A MOVE THAT HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN SOME TIME, THE HEART PUNCH. BATISTA WAS IN PLENTY OF PAIN BUT WHEN HE TRIED TO GET UP, COREY DRILLED HIM USING THE ECW WORLD TITLE BELT. COREY AND TERKAY STOOD OVER THE FALLEN BATISTA BEFORE THEY WERE SHOWERED WITH BOOS.

Lawler: "Look at this, J.R., they've taken Batista out! I guess this means he still doesn't deserve a title shot"!

J.R.: "Well that's nothin' but B.S.! It took two men to do this and Batista has been broken"!

Lawler: "And coming up next, the rest of ECW will be involved in our main event six man tag"!

BACKSTAGE.......

J.J. RAMPLIN AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLONDES ARE WATCHING ON A MONITOR AND THEY OBVIOUSLY LIKE WHAT THEY SEE. SUDDENLY, WILLIAM REGAL COMES UP.

William Regal: "Ah, J.J., I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on becoming the King of Cable".

SEEING THIS, MERCURY AND NITRO WALK OFF, HEADING TOWARDS THE RING.

J.J. Ramplin: "Regal, I already told you, I don't need you anymore. Now if you don't mind, I have a match to get to".

RAMPLIN PUSHES REGAL OUT OF THE WAY AND WALKS OFF. REGAL DOES NOT SEEM HAPPY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE CAMERA IS FOCUSED ON A DARK CORNER OF THE ARENA, WHICH IS IN THE CROWD. THE LIGHTS DIM AND "MISERIA CANTARE" BY AFI COMES ON AND THE FANS KNOW WHAT IS COMING. PAUL HEYMAN COMES THROUGH THE CURTAIN OF THE DARK CORNER AND HIS IS FOLLOWED BY JOHNNY NITRO, JOEY MERCURY AND J.J. RAMPLIN, WHO HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage and it is time for the main event! For any of you who might be tuning in, what a post WrestleMania edition of Rampage this has been"!

Lawler: "No doubt about it, J.R.! Vince McMahon opened the show with two huge announcements and Joe Corey just handed a beating to Batista"!

J.R.: "You mean Joe Corey and Sylvester Terkay, the manbear".

Lawler: "Well yeah, he was out here too".

THE BOOS QUICKLY TURN TO CHEERS AS "ONE OF KIND" BY BREAKING POINT COMES ON AND ROB VAN DAM STEPS OUT BEFORE PYRO POPS OFF THE SET.

J.R.: "Well I would suggest that Batista will have something to say about that, and here's another man who has had his share of problems with ECW"!

Lawler: "RVDis gonna be teaming up with two guys he's not totally familiar with and they've gotta go up against this ECW group that has seemed unstoppable"!

"SUPERSTAR" BY SALIVA HITS AND JASON OLIVER EMERGES FROM THE BACK TO A GOOD CHEER.

J.R.: "And I'd say this man can attest to that. He not only had to witness ECW burning the Canadian flag, but at WrestleMania, his King of Cable title slipped through his grasp and he had to watch as J.J. Ramplin waved the black flag of ECW".

Lawler: "Well if there's anyone out here who has been looking forward to this match, it's gotta be this guy! Jason Oliver wants to get back that loss in a major way"!

THE LIGHTS AGAIN GO OUT, AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET IN CHEER AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH PLAYS AND NEMESIS APPEARS IN A SPOTLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON, NEMESIS STANDS THERE WITH A STOIC LOOK ON HIS FACE BEFORE SLOWLY MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING.

J.R.: "I'm still not sure how this man is able to compete here tonight. Many of our fans were convinced he sustained serious injuries in his match with Joe Corey at WrestleMania".

Lawler: "I was convinced he was too and it was because of that performance that Joe Corey feels he has ran out of viable challengers here on Rampage"!

J.R.: "Oh there's viable challengers, they just can't beat him and his pack of dogs at the same damn time"!

Six Man Tag Team Match

ECW: J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin and The Hollywood Blondes w/ Paul Heyman vs. Rob Van Dam, Jason Oliver and Nemesis

As the bell sounded, Jason Oliver stepped into the ring with Johnny Nitro. They locked up and Oliver quickly took Nitro to the mat with a headlock takeover, whipping him over his body. Nitro escaped his clutches with a headscissor and with both men on their feet, Nitro tagged him with a right hand. He then shot him to the ropes for a flying calf kick before going into the cover but Oliver was easily up. Nitro grabbed him in a standing side headlock, but Oliver pushed him to the ropes and shot him in. The two men collided and neither budged. Nitro hit the ropes but Oliver ducked a wild swing before picking him up and dropping him over the top rope, throat first. Oliver slapped the hand of RVD to bring him in and RVD kicked Nitro right in the ribs before throwing him to the ropes. RVD went down into the splits, waiting for Nitro to hop over him. Nitro did but he turned right around and kicked RVD in the back of the head. Nitro made a quick tag to his tag team partner Mercury who came in and kept RVD with boots to the head and chest before crushing him with a short clothesline. Mercury then pulled RVD up and whipped him to the corner but RVD hit the corner and popped out with a spinning jump kick to the head, a move the crowd really liked. RVD made the tag to the big man and Nemesis came in, stalking Mercury. Mercury backed off, holding his hand out before calling a time out. Nemesis went to grab him but Mercury punched him in the abdomen. He then hit the ropes but Nemesis caught him coming by the throat and he lifted him up for a chokeslam. Nitro came in and drilled Nemesis in his hobbled lower back to prevent the move and the Blondes got Nemesis up for the "Snapshot" but Oliver came in to break it up, knocking both men down with clotheslines. Nemesis then pulled Mercury in, looking for the "Shutdown". But Ramplin showed off his athletic ability, slingshotting himself from the apron and smashing Nemesis with a clothesline. Both men were down, and Mercury was able to get going first, making the tag to the brand new King of Cable. Ramplin came in and rocked Nemesis with 3 right hands, but Nemesis reversed an irish whip and kicked him right in the face. Nemesis then turned to his corner and tagged in RVD who came in and landed the Rolling Thunder. Before RVD could get his offense going, the Blondes hit the ring again and attacked him. Oliver and Nemesis re-joined the fray and the fight was on. RVD went to the top rope, but Ramplin got up and punched him in the midsection before climbing up the turnbuckle with him. But with referee Jimmy Korderas focused on the other 4 men brawling, William Regal came running out, jumped on the apron and drilled Ramplin with a right hand. Ramplin fell backward to the mat and a camera got a close up of Regal's fist, revealing a pair of brass knucks.
