"TO BE LOVED" INTROS RAMPAGE's OPENING MONTAGE. VIDEO CLIPS OF RANDY ORTON, STACY KIEBLER, EDDIE SAINT JAMES, MONICA, D'LO BROWN, AXL IRVIN AND DEUCE HAVE BEEN SPLICED IN TO COMPLIMENT ALL OF THE OTHER SUPERSTARS ON THE ROSTER.

THE ARENA COMES INTO THE SHOT AND PYRO BOMBARDS THE SET AND THE CROWD IS IN A FRENZY.

Jim Ross: "We are live as live gets from the University of Maryland and these fans are cheering like their Terrapins reached the Final Four"!

Jerry Lawler: "It's our first show post 2008 TWF draft and I am excited to see what we get tonight, so you know these people are"!

JUST THEN, THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES IS HEARD AND ROWDY RODDY PIPER COMES OUT TO A STANDING OVATION.

J.R.: "And here comes one of the guys that Rampage obtained in this year's draft..... it's the Hot Rod himself! Ya know, he might be coming down here to take your job, King"!

Lawler: "Well, he does have a microphone, but if anybody was listening to him on SlaughterHouse, I think they know he couldn't do my job"!

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "It seems to me that Rampage has a few new faces!

THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER

Yeah, and one of them is yours truly! Now, I know a lot of you are asking yourselves, what is the Hot Rod gonna do on Rampage? Am I back as a full time wrestler..... not a chance! That would mean a lot of headaches for some of these young kids around here! No, I am here for one thing! Ya see, the Board of Directors is unsatisfied with the job that Muhammad Hassan has done as General Manager and I gotta say, I can't blame them! Now, for you long time TWF fans who can remember the days of Commissioner Piper..... well, at least on an interim basis, we're gonna have the same type of scenario with me as your GM"!

Lawler: "What"?!

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS IN APROVAL

J.R.: "Wow, I gotta say, that's a pretty big improvement"!

Piper: "So, we're gonna start tonight's show off with a...........

PIPER IS CUT OFF BY "MISTERRRRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYY" WHO COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE AS WELL.

J.R.: "Well here comes Mr. Kennedy, the number one contender for the World title".

Lawler: "Yeah, and he just interrupted the guy who is apparently calling the shots on Rampage now"!

Mr. Kennedy: "Rowdy Roddy Piper..... how cool is this? Ya know, if Hassan was here tonight, I wouldn't have even considered this, but since you, the Hot Rod, is here, I want to make sure I get Chris Masters in that ring for the World title...... tonight"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS

J.R.: "I like that idea"!

Piper: "Ya know, Kennedy, I kind of.........

DEAFENING BOOS ARE HEARD WHEN "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND MONEY MIKE STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WEARING A PAIR OF BLACK DRESS SLACKS AND HIS "ON YOUR KNEES DOG" T-SHIRT.

J.R.: "Now just what the hell is this"?

Lawler: "This would be Money Mike, and he appears to have something to say"!

Money Mike: "Kennedy, before you come out here and start trying to butter up Piper, I think there is something that our interim general manager needs to consider. At Evil Intentions, I absolutely destroyed Nails and I did it by beating him at his own game. Kennedy, you are the number one contender, but that only came after you got a lucky win against me! So the way I see it, I should be in this World title picture too"!

Piper: "Mike, you make an interesting point. You did defeat Nails at Evil Intentions in a hardcore rules match, but..........

THE FANS GO WILD WHEN "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT PLAYS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT. HE TOO HAS A MICROPHONE.

Lawler: "Now what"?!

J.R.: "Apparently, RVD wants to chime in, but we've gotta be gettin' low on microphones".

Rob Van Dam: "Hey guys, far be it for me to come out here and try to interject myself into the World title picture, but let's be serious. I mowed down Scott Steiner at Evil Intentions, and I've done just about everything in this business. Add to that the fact that I'm Rob..... Van...... Dam, and you've got yourself.......

Money Mike: "Shut up! No one asked for you to come out here Van Dam, and to be honest, people stopped caring about you years ago"!

RVD: "Really, that's not what I heard a couple minutes ago".

Piper: "Okay, okay, okay, I think I've got a solution here. As you guys are all well aware, we have the biggest event of the Summer.... MeltDown..... coming up in just a few weeks! So at MeltDown, Chris Masters will defend the TWF World title against all three of you in a fatal four way match"!

J.R.: "Oh my...... that's a huge announcement"!

Piper: "But not only that, in this ring tonight, Kennedy.... you will team with Rob Van Dam to take on Money Mike, and one of Rampage's newest superstars, Eddie Saint James! Oh, and your current World champion, Chris Masters, will be the special referee"!

PIPER DROPS HIS MIC AS THE BAGPIPES PLAY AGAIN AND MONEY MIKE, KENNEDY AND ROB VAN DAM ALL LOOK AROUND AT EACH OTHER.

Lawler: "Well, I guess Piper wanted to make shockwaves with his first decision, because he sure has"!

J.R.: "Rampage is off to a huge start....... and there is so much more to come"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK...........

A COMMERCIAL FOR KFC IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR MELTDOWN.... LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "VOICES" BY REV THEORY HITS AND RANDY ORTON SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING, WHERE LENNY ARMSTEAD IS WAITING, TO A TON OF BOOS.

J.R.: "We are back live and King, we talked about some of the new faces we would see on Rampage and here's one of them".

Lawler: "Well this place is still trying to digest the announcements that Rowdy Roddy Piper just made, but you're right, and the funny thing is, he wasn't a draft pick"!

J.R.: "Orton came over in that huge trade between Rampage and PrimeTime that sent Mark Henry, Tatanka and Bloodhunt over there for Eddie Saint James, Deuce and Mr. RKO himself".

Lawler: "Well I'm definitely excited to see Orton compete here on Rampage and Lenny Armstead is standing in his way tonight"!

Randy Orton vs. Lenny Armstead

The bell sounded to start the match and Orton walked up and slapped Armstead hard across the face. Enraged, Armstead came back with two hard forearms before hitting the ropes. Orton threw a clotheslinebut Armstead ducked and kicked each of his legs very hard. Following a big hip toss, Armstead ran the ropes and drilled Orton with a dropkick when he stood up. From there, Armstead went outside the ring and to the top rope, coming off with a flying crossbody. But Orton saw it coming, dropkicking him right out of mid air! After pulling Armstead across his body with a backbreaker, Orton pulled Armstead up by the hair and flung him into the corner, pounding him with 2 european uppercuts. After pounding on Armstead some more, Orton measured him and hit the "RKO", bringing a quick end to the match.

Match Time: 3:41

Lawler: "Wow..... now that's what you call impressive"!

ORTON WENT AND ASKED LILIAN GARCIA FOR HER MICROPHONE.

J.R.: "And now Orton's got something to say".

Randy Orton (pointing down at Armstead): "You see this?! You see it?! This right here became commonplace on PrimeTime and now..... now it's the future of every one of my opponents here on Rampage! So take a good look..... this is what you all have to look forward to! Piper...... you want to go and make a fatal four way for MeltDown..... well that's fine..... because I'm gonna be sitting back waiting for a winner to emerge and when he does...... I'll be there to issue the next challenge"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute.... what the hell is he doing out here"?!

THE FANS WERE LOUDLY CHEERING BUT ORTON PAID NO ATTENTION. IN THE RING WAS CHRIS TIRPAK, WITH A KENDO STICK. ORTON TURNED AROUND AND TIRPAK BLASTED HIM WITH THE WEAPON AND THE CROWD WENT NUTS!

J.R.: "Oh my! You could've heard the echo of that shot in the parking lot"!

TIRPAK REACHES DOWN AND PICKS UP THE MICROPHONE.

Chris Tirpak: "Ya know, Orton, I know you've been on PrimeTime, so you may not know about a certain something I possess...... but I may have something to say about the next challenger for the TWF World title"!

"TNT" BY AC/DC PLAYS AS TIRPAK DROPS THE MIC AND LEAVES THE RING TO A GREAT CHEER.

Lawler: "I don't know where the hell Chris Tirpak gets off coming out here, but I do know this, whether he has that WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase or not.... he's gonna pay for that"!

BACKSTAGE AREA........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH THAT TAIL END OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN MATT CRUZ AND ROUCKA.

Roucka: "I don't know, you just haven't seemed yourself lately. I mean, you were always up for going out for drinks after a show and now.......

Matt Cruz: "Roucka, no offense, but I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now. Next week, I plan to make a big announcement..... out in the ring".

CRUZ WALKS AWAY AND ROUCKA JUST LOOKS CONCERNED.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "BLACK SUNSHINE" BY WHITE ZOMBIE COMES ON AND RICHARD RAMSLEY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING, A VERY UNSETTLING LOOK ON HIS FACE.

J.R.: "Ya gotta wonder what Matt Cruz's announcement concerns, I mean......

J.R.: "Never mind that right now! I still can't get over the audacity of Chris Tirpak to hit Randy Orton with a kendo stick! What an idiot"!

IN THE RING, A SOMEWHAT OUT OF SHAPE SUPERSTAR IS GETTING LOOSE, WAITING FOR RAMSLEY TO GET IN THE RING WITH HIM.

J.R.: "Very little is known about this man, other than he is very upset with..... well who knows, but he seems to be somewhat of a ticking time bomb".

Lawler: "I feel sorry for this guy, what's his name, Boom Boom Comini? He's the one that gets to deal with it tonight".

Richard Ramsley vs. Boom Boom Comini (invitee)

Ramsley came into the ring and just kicked an unsuspecting Comini right in the face. He then got on him an wailed away with right hands, almost getting disqualified by referee Chad Patton. Ramsley kept the hits coming and he showed a real mean steak as he just beat the hell out of Comini. Ramsley patiently waited for Comini to pull himself up before just kicking him right in the face again. After dropping Comini over his knee, Ramsley guided Comini up, right into a vicious DDT before rolling him over for the easy 3 count.

Match Time: 4:11

J.R.: "And that's gonna do it for this one, and no one is happier about that than Boom Boom Comini, who took a serious beating out here, King".

Lawler: "And it looks like it's just gonna get worse"!

RAMSLEY CAME BACK INTO THE RING AND JUMPED ON COMINI, WHO WAS STILL DOWN. CHAD PATTON DID HIS BEST TO PULL RAMSLEY OFF, WHO WAS RIPPING AT THE EYES OF COMINI WITH BOTH HANDS. AFTER JUST GOING BERSERK, RAMSLEY STOPPED THE TORCHER, ALMOST LIKE SOMEBODY TURNED A SWITCH. "BLACK SUNSHINE" PLAYED AGAIN AND RAMSLEY LEFT THE RING TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "Well I'll tell ya, I don't know if I've ever witnessed anything like this..... this man is dangerous".

Lawler: "There is something very interesting..... yet very disturbing about this guy..... and I don't know what else to say".

J.R.: "Let's just say that we'll be right back after this break".

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR RED BULL.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "MISERIA CANTARE" IS PLAYING AND THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ARE IN THE RING.

J.R.: "We are back live on Rampage here on the USA network and King, the Knockout-Tapout Connection is scheduled to be in action later tonight, but that's later, what's this about"?

Elijah Burke: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Manbear and I have come out here tonight to make an announcement regarding another member of ECW! So without any further adieu, let's bring out the reigning TWF King of Cable....... J.J. Ramplin"!

THE FANS CONTINUE TO BOO AS "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS AGAIN AND RAMPLIN COMES OUT FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HOS SHOULDER. HE IS WEARING A NICE SUIT AND IS SPORTING A SHORTER HAIRCUT.

Lawler: "Here comes the King of Cable! I heard they were gonna do this tonight"!

J.R.: "Do what"?!

Lawler: "Just pay attention, J.R., I don't want to spoil it for everyone else"!

Burke: "Okay, J.J., I'll let you brag on yourself man, you deserve it! So tell all of these people what's up"!

J.J. Ramplin: "Now not that any of you people deserve any of my time, but this night is all about me. When I joined this company, I wanted to win and become a star and both of these things started to happen to me after I accepted Joe Corey's offer to join his version of ECW. Now the King Of Cable Title has a rich and prestigious history from the first ever superstar to call himself the King Of Cable John Cena to the four-time champion Shelton Benjamin. Now we can add another chapter to the history of this title because on the 26th of June, I overtook a record held by the leader of ECW himself, Joe Corey, to have held this title for the longest reign ever. Now I am very proud to hold this record because it's a statement to every single guy back there in the locker room and to everyone in the whole TWF that I'm the standard bearer for this company and that I'm on the fast-track to superstardom"!

Burke: "Indeed you are my friend, that is a great accomplishment. And all of us in ECW felt that it needed to be recognized just a little bit further"!

"MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS FOR A THIRD TIME AND THIS TIME, JOE COREY COMES OUT FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE AND HE IS SHOWERED WITH BOOS. HE IS CARRYING A SMALL BLACK BAG WITH HIM.

Lawler: "Look who's back on Rampage"!

J.R.: "It's none other than the leader of ECW himself, Joe Corey, and he's got something with him"!

COREY ENTERS THE RING AND BURKE HANDS HIM THE MICROPHONE.

Joe Corey: "Ya know, J.J., I knew the big wigs around here wouldn't give you the recognition you deserve, but it is my record you broke, so we need to make a big deal out of it. The guys and I talked about giving you a medal.... or a trophy.... but I came up with something I wanted you to have instead".

COREY REACHES INTO THE BAG AND PULLS OUT A TITLE BELT.

Corey: "This is my personal King of Cable title belt, straight out of my trophy case and into your hands..... here you go, man".

COREY HANDS THE BELT TO RAMPLIN, WHO IS ALL SMILES. BUT JUST THEN, THE CROWD CHEERS WHEN AXL IRVIN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A MICROPHONE.

Axl Irvin: "Blah, blah, blah! J.J., you might be the longest reigning King of Cable ever.... good for you. But I am so tired of hearing about how you are so good because of ECW and Joe Corey..... you guys are all a bunch of punks"!

Lawler: "He might want to watch what he says"!

Corey: "What the hell does this have to do with you? If you can't tell, this concerns people who actually win matches"!

Axl Irvin: "Corey, think about what you say before you say it. You are looking at a former Universal champion..... something you have yet to do! Ramplin, let's just cut to the chase! I came out here to challenge you to a match at MeltDown for that King of Cable title"!

Corey: "He has no.........

RAMPLIN TAKES THE MIC BACK.

Ramplin: "You want me in a match? You got it"!

J.R.: "Whoa, Ramplin just accepted"!

Lawler: "Well it looked like Joe Corey was gonna shoot Axl Irvin down, but Ramplin wants the match too"!

J.R.: "Axl Irvin has interrupted this celebration of ECW's and he's gotten himself a King of Cable title match by doing so"!

BACKSTAGE.......

THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACK WHERE MONEY MIKE SEEMS TO BE IN A HEATED CONVERSATION WITH EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA.

Money Mike: "You guys just need to get over it. That was a match between me and Nails, and you guys decided to stick your noses in it".

SAINT JAMES GETS UP IN MIKE's FACE.

Eddie Saint James: "Look, I know we're tag team partners tonight..... but if you ever put your hands on Monica again..... so help me God".

THE SAINT GRABS MONICA BY THE HAND AND THE TWO WALK BY MIKE, WHO MOCKS THEM, PRETENDING TO BE SCARED BY THE SAINT's WORDS.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, CARLITO's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS GETTING LOOSE IN THE RING WITH AN APPLE IN HAND.

"MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN COMES ON AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH A WHITE HOODIE THAT IS DRAWN OVER HIS EYES AND BLACK, TEAR-AWAY WARM UP PANTS.

J.R.: "Money Mike and The Saint will team up later tonight, but right now, Carlito has got his hands full".

Lawler: "But look, Carlito is all over him"!

RIGHT WHEN WAKEMAN GOT INTO THE RING, CARLITO ATTACKED HIM RELENTLESSLY AS REFEREE JACK DOAN ASKED FOR THE BELL TO START THE MATCH.

Carlito vs. Travis Wakeman

After taking several stomps to the back of the head, Wakeman used a double leg to take Carlito down before drilling him with a right hand to the side of the head. Wakeman got up and removed his pullover before tearing his warm ups off. Carlito stood up and Wakeman put him right back down with a clothesline. He then got down on the mat, but Carlito wisely rolled away. Wakeman went right after him, but walked right into a poke to the eye. After 2 hard left hands, Carlito whipped Wakeman to the ropes and punched him in the abdomen before delivering a running knee lift. After a nice swinging neckbreaker, Carlito made a cover but barely got a 1 count. Carlito stayed on Wakeman with his southpaw style, rocking Wakeman. But after reversing an irish whip, Wakeman countered a leapfrog attempt into a tremendous powerslam. He then got down and hit Carlito in the back of the head twice, but Carlito again rolled away. Wakeman grabbed him by the hair this time, dragging him back. He then knocked Carlito stiff with a knee to the face. Carlito fell like a sack of potatoes and with an almost psychotic look in his eyes, Wakeman locked in the Crossface after two more shots to the back of the head. Within seconds, Carlito tapped out. Wakeman held the hold probably 15 seconds after the bell sounded before finally letting go.

Match Time: 6:12

Lawler: "Somebody stop this guy before he kills someone"!

J.R.: "Some serious intensity inside Travis Wakeman of late and he's really been taking it out on whoever his opponent is"!

"MAKE WAY" PLAYED AGAIN AND WAKEMAN WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP, ALMOST EMOTIONLESS.

Lawler: "Maybe our interim general manager can think about doing something about it before someone gets hurt"!

J.R.: "Fans you don't want to go away! Up next, Jason Oliver faces Austin Pyromania and still to come in our main event, Money Mike will team with Eddie Saint James to face Rob Van Dam and Mr. Kennedy"!

Lawler: "And don't forget, the Masterpiece is the special referee"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK..........

A COMMERCIAL FOR DIRECT TV IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR VALERO.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "SUPERSTAR" BY SALIVA PUMPS THROUGH THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND JASON OLIVER MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. THE GENEXT LOGO IS FLASHING ON THE MAT IN THE RING AS HE APPROACHES.

J.R.: "We are back live and we are about to be graced by one of the members of GeNext..... Jason Oliver".

Lawler: "He is on his way out here, J.R., with that usual cocky look on his face and who can blame him? He beat PrimeTime's so-called number one contender at Evil Intentions"!

"DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2 PAC COMES ON AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.

J.R.: "He has his work cut out for him tonight, here comes TWF veteran Austin Pyromania and just a few weeks ago..... this happened".

A REPLAY IS SHOWN OF A FIGHT BREAKING OUT IN THE BACK BETWEEN CANDICE AND KELLY, WHICH SPILLED OUT TO THE RING. M.X. OGDEN AND JASON OLIVER CAME OUT, LOOKING TO AID CANDICE AGAINST KELLY. BUT PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE CAME OUT AND CLEARED THE RING.

Lawler: "Pyromania and Taylor Made spoiled whatever plans GeNext had for Kelly, and I guess that's why they're not out here tonight"!

J.R.: "Rowdy Roddy Piper has asked Ogden, Candice, Taylor Made and Kelly to stay away from ringside for this match, and there's the bell to start it".

Jason Oliver vs. Austin Pyromania

The bell sounded to start the match and the two men locked up, jockeying for position. Oliver went for a hiptoss but Pyromania blocked it and went for a clothesline. But Oliver ducked that and threw him over his head with a perfect german suplex. Pyromania was in trouble early as Oliver tried to lock in the rear naked choke, but Pyro was able to roll to the ropes. Referee Scott Martin asked for a break. Pyromania got to his feet and was met with a kick to the stomach but he was able to reverse an irish whip, only to have Oliver land a Thesz Press. After rocking Pyro with plenty of punches to the head, Oliver pulled him to his feet and went for the "Claymore". But Pyro had it scouted, pushing him to the ropes before catching him with a flying wheel kick. After a big vertical suplex, Pyromania went to the top rope and came off with a beautiful Phoenix splash, landing hard on Oliver. The crowd got to an 8 count before Pyromania broke the cover when he saw Candice on the apron, distracting Martin. But from the other side, M.X. Ogden came into the ring and hit the "Memory Maker" on Pyromania before Oliver rolled over, draping an arm over his chest. Martin turned to see the cover and made the count, 1.........2........3.

Match Time: 4:06

Lawler: "He got him! Jason Oliver wins again"!

J.R.: "Yeah, he got him with some help! Wait a minute........

JUST AS GENEXT STARTED TO CELEBRATE THE WIN, TAYLOR MADE AND KELLY CAME TO THE RING AND THE FIGHT WAS ON. TAYLOR WAS TAKING ON BOTH OGDEN AND OLIVER AS KELLY AND CANDICE PULLED SOME HAIR. JUST THEN, ROWDY RODDY PIPER CAME OUT TO THE RING.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "That's enough! All of you.... break it up now"!

THE FIGHT STOPS AND TAYLOR GETS OUT OF THE RING WITH KELLY BEFORE PYROMANIA ROLLS OUT.

This is not what we're going to do on this show! I asked all of you to stay in the back for a reason and..........

JUST THEN, PIPER IS CUT OFF BY THE ARABIC CHANT LEADING INTO MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC. HE COMES OUT IN A PAIR OF GRAY SLACKS AND A WHITE T-SHIRT.

J.R.: "What the hell is this"?!

Lawler: "As you would usually say, J.R., business has just picked up"!

Muhammad Hassan: "Piper! I know you think you're calling the shots around here, but I'm not fired, I'm just on probation, as they called it! It's nothing more than the constant discrimination I face every day of my life! But I can promise you one thing, I know I still hold some power around here, so no matter what you do to GeNext...... I'll just reverse it"!

JUST THEN, OLIVER DECKS PIPER WITH A RIGHT HAND. OGDEN AND OLIVER ARE ALL OVER PIPER, CAUSING THE CROWD TO BOO. PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE COME BACK INTO THE RING, BUT GENEXT SCRAMBLES AND THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE.

J.R.: "Well I would expect GeNext to face some sort of disciplinary action for what they just did, but Hassan just said he'd reverse it"!

Lawler: "And he said he's been put on some sort of probation! Someone needs to find out what's going on here"!

HASSAN SMILES WHILE LOOKING AT THE FALLEN PIPER, WHO IS USING THE RING ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP.

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM FINDS MELINA.

Todd Grisham: "Melina, do you know where Wakeman is..... I kind of wanted to get a word with him".

Melina (laughs): "You're not gonna get a word with him...... but he has given permission for a special interview next week".

*DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, RESULTS WILL BE SOMEWHAT CONDENSED FROM THIS POINT.

Handicap Match

Sean O'Haire and Sebastian Cain vs. Dylan Jansens

This match was made by Muhammad Hassan before his "probationary period" set in, and Jansens didn't have much of a chance. Jansens fought his heart out, as he always does, but Cain and O'Haire weren't even forced to have to tag in. Jansens employed a strike-at-will offense, and it was working until O'Haire kicked the back of his right leg. After a big roundhouse kick by O'Haire caught Jansens right in the mouth, Cain delivred the "Burning Hammer". But as he got down to make the cover, O'Haire just pulled Jansens up and put him right back down with the "Widowmaker", making the cover and getting the win himself as Cain threw his hands out asking "What are you doing"?

Match Time: 5:02

Non-Title Match

Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. Rampage Tag Team champs: Knockout-Tapout Connection

Cade and Murdoch seemed to come out very focused and ready to spring the upset to vault themselves into title consideration. Cade held his own in a slugfest with Sylvester Terkay, but after the two took each other out with simultaneous clotheslines, tags were made on both sides. Murdoch was able to beat Elijah Burke to the punch and after a rake of the eyes, he delivered a big backdrop suplex. Murdoch then went to the top rope, flying off with a bulldog and driving Burke's head into the mat. Murdoch had the cover, but for whatever reason, his own partner was arguing with referee Chad Patton, preventing the 3 count. Terkay came into the ring as Murdoch stood up and drilled him with the Heart Punch, knocking him to the mat. Burke then rolled on top of Murdoch and got the 3 count as Cade just threw up his hands in disgust.

Match Time: 7:27

BACKSTAGE........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW M.X. OGDEN, WHO HAS JUST ENDED A CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE, WHEN CANDICE WALKS UP.

Candice: "Who was that"?

M.X. Ogden: "Oh.... that was my Mom".

Candice: "Your Mom? Again? You've been acting really weird lately, mind telling me what's going on"?

Ogden: "Candice..... I'm not gonna go through this every single day, I told you.........

Candice: "That nothing is going on. Fine, I'll be waiting whenever you're ready to leave".

CANDICE WALKS AWAY AND OGDEN JUST LETS OUT A DEEP SIGH.

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CODY RHODES IS WALKING WHEN HE RUNS INTO THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN AND HIS SON, TED DIBIASE, JR.

Million Dollar Man: "Cody Rhodes..... just the man we're looking for".

Cody Rhodes (pointing to himself): "Me"?

Million Dollar Man: "Look, kid, I know you probably didn't have your head on straight the last time I made this offer, and if you talk to your old man a lot, that's certainly understandable. But my son and I think you'd be a perfect fit in the Corporation. I mean, you finally won your first TWF match earlier tonight. So what do ya say.... this will be my final offer"?

Ted Dibiase, Jr.: "Think about it, Cody. That losing streak you were on will be long forgotten".

Rhodes: "Ya know, this is really wanted to do the first time, but I let someone else make that decision for me..... I accept".

RHODES SHAKES THE HANDS OF BOTH MEN AND THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN LET's OUT HIS TRADEMARK LAUGH.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM IS WITH A FIRED UP ROWDY RODDY PIPER.

Grisham: "Back on Rampage and I am here with the Hot Rod Rowdy Roddy Piper who we just saw..........

Piper: "GeNext........ you two little disrespectful punk kids aren't gonna pull this crap with me! Sure, Hassan may overturn a suspension I order, but he can't change the fact that the two of you will face Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made at MeltDown! Dylan Jansens, you will have a partner next week against O'Haire and that guy who has a hooker for a sister! And Hassan..... oh, Muhammad Hassan! Your luck has just run out buddy, because I have saved the best for you! Let's just say you are in for the worst time of your professional career..... and I dare you to try and overturn this ruling"!

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING FOR THE MAIN EVENT.

J.R.: "Huge announcements for MeltDown, King, and we can also confirm that next week, that special interview with Travis Wakeman will be conducted by none other than the legendary Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat"!

Money Mike and Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. Mr. Kennedy and Rob Van Dam

*Special Referee: Chris Masters

Pure mayhem was the best way to describe match, as all 4 men brawled all over the Comcast Center. Chris Masters never had any control of the match, and may not have even been trying to. But late in the match, Money Mike clotheslined Kennedy out of the ring, near Monica, who took a shot at Kennedy with a kick to the ribs. In the ring, Saint James brawled with RVD as Masters led Mike to his corner. After ducking a clothesline, RVD went for a springboard crossbody but The Saint caught him and delivered a big fallaway slam. He made the cover, but RVD was up at 2. The Saint tried to follow up with the "Death to Humanity", but RVD countered and then dropped him with a step over heel kick. From there, RVD went to the top rope, quick as a cat, and flew off with the "5 Star Frogsplash". Money Mike made no effort to break up the eventual 3 count.

Match Time: 8:54

After the match, RVD got in the face of Mr. Kennedy and did his thumbs to the shoulders as the crowd screamed "R-----V-------D"! Kennedy didn't seem too thrilled, but Masters came from behind with a forearm to the back of RVD's head and he then took Kennedy out with his double sledge right to the face.

Money Mike then walked up and engaged in a tense staredown with the World champ Masters. But after several moments, Mike turned to leave as "King of Kings" came on. But suddenly, Saint James handed Masters a steel chair and he yelled for Mike, crowning him with the chair when he turned around!

MASTERS' MUSIC THEN PLAYED AS HE STOOD OVER THE FALLEN SELF-PROCLAIMED "KING OF THE TWF".

J.R.: "My God! The first salvo has been fired for MeltDown"!

Lawler: "Remember back to what happened at Evil Intentions! Eddie Saint James and Monica have gotten themselves a measure of revenge"!

THE SHOT FADED OUT ON EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA, WHO WERE VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY HAD DONE.

OFF AIR........
