RIGHT WHEN RAMPAGE TAKES THE AIR LIVE, MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN FROM HIS DRESSING ROOM, STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. THE FANS IN THE ARENA LOUDLY BOO AT THE SIGHT OF HIS FACE.

Money Mike: "I was asked by the USA network to begin tonight's broadcast with an apology to the general public for my action's on the last edition of Rampage..... actions they describe as deplorable.

MIKE BOWS HIS HEAD FOR A MOMENT BEFORE LOOKING UP WITH A SICK GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Obviously, the network doesn't understand my agenda either. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they clear the TWF of any wrongdoing in that whole segment? So to whoever needs to hear it....... you won't get an apology from me".

THE SHOT FADES BEFORE "TO BE LOVED" HITS AND THE OPENING MONTAGE ROLLS. THE ORACLE ARENA THEN COMES INTO THE SHOT, FLOODED WITH FANS AND AN OUTPOURING OF NOISE GENERATED BY THEIR CHEERS AND THE EXPLOSIVE OPENING PYRO.

J.R.: "We are live from Oakland, California and ready for the last show before the huge pay-per-view spectacular, the Royal Rumble"!

Jerry Lawler: "The USA network didn't get the apology they were looking for from Money Mike but the TWF is going to make up for it with one heck of a show tonight"!

"I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED COMES ON AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING ALONG WITH MONICA TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "There's no doubt about that, King, and we are heading right to the ring for the start of the action"!

Lawler: "Well while Money Mike and The Boogeyman were in Miami doing.... well you know..... this man had a spot in the Royal Rumble taken away from him by the interference of Matt Cruz".

THE CROWD POPS WHEN "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND MATT CRUZ HEADS OUT FROM THE BACK.

J.R.: "Matt Cruz has had his problems with the strange group Money Mike has put together but please, King, this is supposed to a family show, so I think it's best to refrain from mentioning what went on in Miami".

Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz

Right as the bell sounded The Saint attempted to attack Cruz but Cruz ducked a clothesline and delivered a big belly to belly suplex. He grabbed the right arm, trying to pull it out of the socket, nearly getting a submission. But Saint James was able to get to his knees and used his free hand to smash Cruz with a hammer fist. He then got up and kicked Cruz right in the side of the head before shaking off the early onslaught. Cruz got up but The Saint was right on him, pounding him with some stiff right hands as he knocked him into the corner. But Cruz suddenly shifted The Saint back into the corner and drove his shoulder into his midsection multiple times. But The Saint raked his eyes to slow him down before drilling Cruz with a running boot to the face. He went for the cover, but Cruz kicked out at 2. The Saint pulled him up and delivered a big vertical suplex before going to the turnbuckle, something not usually in his offense. Cruz slowly got to one knee as The Saint sat perched in the corner. He then flew off from the middle turnbuckle with a dropkick attempt but Cruz was able to catch his feet. The crowd cheered as Cruz turned The Saint over and locked in the "Colorado Cloverleaf" in the center of the ring. Monica knew her man was in trouble, but referee Chad Patton was right there to see The Saint tap out.

Match Time: 5:18

J.R.: "What a terrific counter by Matt Cruz who has picked up a very big win here over The Saint"!

Lawler: "And here comes Money Mike and The Boogeyman"!

AS CRUZ HAD HIS ARM RAISED BY PATTON, THE BOOGEYMAN ENTERED THE RING AND HIT HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH HIS WOODEN STAFF. CRUZ HIT THE MAT AND BOTH BOOGEYMAN AND THE SAINT WERE ALL OVER HIM. MONICA EVEN GOT IN A KICK TO THE RIBS. AS THE CROWD BOOED, THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM CHAMPS HELD CRUZ UP AS MONEY MIKE ENTERED THE RING, READY TO ADD TO THE PUNISHMENT.

J.R.: "Oh look at this..... what the hell"?!

JUST THEN, J.J. RAMPLIN CAME RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK. THE CROWD DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK BUT THEY QUICKLY CHEERED WHEN HE TOOK BOTH SAINT JAMES AND BOOGEYMAN OUT WITH RIGHT HANDS. MONEY MIKE QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE RING.

Lawler: "What is Ramplin doing"?!

J.R.: "I have no idea what to think here, but J.J. Ramplin has come to the aid of Matt Cruz"!

AS "THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYED, CRUZ AND RAMPLIN STOOD ACROSS THE RING STARING AT ONE ANOTHER AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM HAS CAUGHT UP WITH J.J. RAMPLIN.

Todd Grisham: "J.J......., can I get a quick word"?

J.J. Ramplin: "Let me just answer your question before you even ask it, okay, microphone man? I am tired of doing things everyone else's way! First, it was the Horsemen. Then, it was ECW. Time after time, I was promised this and promised that..... I was called the next big star! Well when is that gonna happen?! The time is now...... the time is now to start doing things...... my way".

RAMPLIN WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

6 Man Tag

Mr. Kennedy, Dylan Jansens and Chris Tirpak vs. Richard Ramsley, Jack Swagger and Mike Knox

Kennedy was the last man to be introduced and the second he got into the ring, all 6 men went at it. Referee Scott Martin had his hands full and he nearly threw the match out. Ramsley and Kennedy fought out of the ring and onto the floor while in the ring, Tirpak took Mike Knox over the top rope with a clothesline but he was hit hard from behind by Jack Swagger. Swagger then tangled with Dylan Jansens but while Martin had his focus on Ramsley and Kennedy brawling outside the ring, Tirpak grabbed the kendo stick he came out with. Swagger turned around to see Tirpak waving the weapon but when he swung it, Swagger duck and he hit Jansens square in the head with it. Knox then came back into the ring and took out Tirpak from behind before Swagger got Jansens up for the Doctor Bomb to put the match on ice.

Match Time: 1:42

AFTER THE MATCH, KNOX AND SWAGGER CELEBRATED THE WIN AS KENNEDY AND RAMSLEY CONTINUED TO BRAWL TOWARDS THE BACK. FINALLY, RAMSLEY RAKED THE EYES OF KENNEDY AND THREW HIM HARD INTO THE SUPPORT OF THE TWF TRON BEFORE HEADING TO THE BACK TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, D'LO BROWN, CURT HAWKINS AND ZACK RYDER ARE ALL TALKING TO TROY GAFGEN.

Curt Hawkins: "So, you ready to make the announcement man"?

Troy Gafgen: "Yeah, I've got it narrowed down".

Zack Ryder: "Dude, there are so many things you could do to make the TWF better...... you could get us all more money.... the economy is really bad right now".

D'Lo Brown: "These guys are right man, but you're a good guy..... you'll make a decision we can all benefit from".

Gafgen: "I'll give it some thought..... everything we've talked about".

GAFGEN WALKS OFF AND THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING WHERE MELINA IS COMING OUT TO JOIN HER PARTNER MICKIE JAMES. SHE HAS THE WOMEN's TITLE BELT STRAPPED AROUND HER WAIST AND SHE IS GIVEN A BIG RESPONSE AS SHE DOES HER TRADEMARK SPLITS ON THE APRON ENTRANCE. THEIR OPPONENTS, BETH PHOENIX AND MONICA AWAIT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING.

Lawler: "What do you think Troy Gafgen's new year's resolution is gonna be? Ya think he'll let me have my way with one or more of the divas"?

J.R.: "Uh, I don't think Gafgen likes ya that much, King. But if it's divas ya like, divas we've got in this tag team match here and the question I have is, after their recent differences, how will Monica and Beth co-exist here"?

Lawler: "That's a good question but what about Mickie James? She may be Melina's partner here, but you know she'd love to face her for that Women's title any chance she gets"!

Beth Phoenix and Monica vs. Melina and Mickie James

Mickie started the match off with Monica and the two really had a great series, exchanging offense and hitting each other with a wide variety of moves. Mickie was able to deliver a big bulldog to get a 2 count before pulling Monica up and whipping her to the corner. She charged in to follow but Monica got 2 feet up in her face. After a diving clothesline, Monica made the tag to Beth who came in and muscled Mickie around the ring. After a big delay vertical suplex, she dropped an elbow right across the chest of Mickie before covering her to get a near fall. Beth picked her up again and dropped her across her knee with a backbreaker. But this time when she went for the elbow, Mickie rolled out of the way. She was then able to make it to her corner to tag in Melina, who came in and was all over Beth with right hand after right hand before running the ropes and delivering a wheelbarrow bulldog. Melina got up and went to the top rope, flying off but Beth got up and caught her in mid air, slamming her to the mat. Beth began to pummel Melina from that point, but off an irish whip, she dropped her head a little early and Melina kicked her right in the face. Beth threw a clothesline but Melina ducked and scored with a dropkick before diving to make the tag to Mickie. Mickie came in and rocked the Glamazon with a barrage of right hands before running the ropes, looking for a hurracanrana. But Beth was able to counter into a high impact powerbomb, falling back with all the momentum. Just then, Monica slapped the shoulder of Beth to tag herself into the match and she drilled Mickie with a nasty superkick when she got up, covering her to get the 1.........2..........3.

Match Time: 6:19

J.R.: "The unlikely team of Monica and Beth Phoenix have won the match, but I don't know if either one of them is worried about that right now".

BETH AND MONICA ENGAGED IN A STAREDOWN AND BEGAN CIRCLING ONE ANOTHER.

Lawler: "I think you're right, J.R.! I think Beth took exception to Monica tagging herself in and pinning Mickie James"!

JUST THEN, BETH SHOVED MONICA AND MONICA RESPONDED WITH A RIGHT HAND. THE TWO WOMEN WENT INTO A STRUGGLE BEFORE GOING TO THE MAT. THE FANS WERE CHEERING UNTIL A FEW MORE REFEREES STORMED OUT FROM THE BACK TO PULL THEM APART.

J.R.: "Well I guess the win won't make them friends.... or even acquaintances"!

Lawler: "Look at this..... they're at each others throats"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, A GRAPHIC WITH THE 2009 ROYAL RUMBLE LOGO IS SHOWN. IT CONTAINS BOTH BETH PHOENIX AND MONICA.

J.R.: "We are back live here on the USA network and we have blockbuster news coming from the office of Rowdy Roddy Piper"!

Lawler: "That's right, J.R.! Just signed for the Royal Rumble, Monica will take on Beth Phoenix but not only that..... it will be a no holds barred match"!

IN THE BACK, DEUCE SNUKA IS SEEN TALKING WITH JASON OLIVER.

Deuce Snuka: "Look, you gotta understand where I'm coming from. I just want to know where I stand now that M.X. is gone".

Jason Oliver: "Do you really think Ogden was gonna make you into a star? Come on, man. Everything will be cool as long as you follow our lead and stick to the beliefs of GeNext".

BACK TO THE RING, TREVOR MURDOCH IS WAITING INSIDE WHILE HIS MUSIC PLAYS. JUST THEN, THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS WHEN "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK.

J.R.: "We are back to the action and look..... look who it is, King"!

Lawler: "I completely forgot about this guy..... where has he been"?

J.R.: "The only thing anyone has been told is he was on a hiatus but he looks better than ever....... he's in tremendous shape, King"!

Lawler: "Well he's got a tough redneck in the ring waiting for him and he hasn't been on hiatus"!

Trevor Murdoch vs. Axl Irvin

Axl slid into the ring and Murdoch put the boots to him right away. Axl tried to get up but Murdoch kept the pressure on with several overhand blows to the head and upper back. Murdoch then pulled him in for a suplex but Axl jabbed him in the ribs with a body punch before drilling Murdoch with a big clothesline. From there, Axl knocked Murdoch into the corner with a barrage of right hands and a kick to the gut. Murdoch tried his best to defend himself, but Axl hit a vicious DDT out of nowhere. With the crowd loudly cheering, Axl caught Murdoch with the "Axl Cutter", one of the hardest he's ever hit anyone with it, before rolling him over for the 3 count.

Match Time: 2:17

J.R.: "Well I think it's safe to say that Axl Irvin is back"!

Lawler: "Oh yeah.... just ask Trevor Murdoch".

AXL HAD A MICROPHONE AND ASKED FOR HIS MUSIC TO BE STOPPED.

Axl Irvin: "What's up, Oakland?!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS

Look guys, I know you've all been wondering why you haven't seen me...... but it's all on me. I took it upon myself to ask the office for some time off. Not because I was hurt and not because I was addicted to drugs..... because I was tired..... I was tired of always coming up on the short end of things. But not anymore. I am back and I am better than ever! I am a former Universal champion and I..............

WITH THAT, CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE IN HAND. THE CROWD RESPONDS WITH MANY BOOS.

J.R.: "What the heck is this"?

Lawler: "Shhhhh! It's the Masterpiece".

Chris Masters: "No, no, no.... it's not gonna go down like this, Axl. I'm not gonna let you come out here and just waltz into the arena and get these people in the palm of your hands like you own the place. (Masters climbs into the ring) Why don't you tell them the truth? Why don't you quit sugar coating things? The reason you took some time off is because of one thing..... you're a loser! Nobody cares that you were once Universal champion! The only thing that you've done in this ring lately is lie on the mat and stare up at the arena lights! So you...............

JUST THEN, AXL POPS MASTERS WITH A RIGHT HAND AND THE FIGHT IS ON. MASTERS GETS IN A THUMB TO THE EYE AND RUNS THE ROPES BUT AXL SIDESTEPS HIM AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR AS THE CROWD CHEERS.

Lawler: "Come on, I don't think there was any need to get physical here"!

J.R.: "So how long should Axl have sat there and listened to that, huh"?!

MASTERS BACKED UP THE RAMP WITH A HAND OVER HIS FACE AS "THE REALEST" PLAYED AGAIN.

Lawler: "Well of you ask me, for his first night back in awhile, Axl Irvin has bitten off more than he can chew"!

BACKSTAGE AREA........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TRAVIS WAKEMAN SLOWLY WALKING DOWN THE HALL WITH A BOTTLE OF WATER. HE TAKES A DRINK OUT OF IT WHEN HE NOTICES ELIJAH BURKE STANDING IN FRONT OF HIS DRESSING ROOM DOOR.

Elijah Burke: "There you are. Tell me.... what's happened to the great technical magician"?

Travis Wakeman: "Look man, it's probably best we don't have this conversation right now".

Burke: "Oh no.... we're gonna have it. I gotta know.... I gotta know what's bringin' ya down big man, let's here it".

WAKEMAN GETS A VERY ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE AND TRIES TO WALK PAST BURKE INTO HIS DRESSING ROOM, BUT BURKE STEPS RIGHT IN HIS WAY. WAKEMAN SHOVES BURKE BUT BURKE RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT CROSS THAT DROPS WAKEMAN TO THE FLOOR. BURKE THEN PICKS UP THE BOTTLE OF WATER AND TAKES A DRINK OF IT, SPITTING IT RIGHT ON WAKEMAN BEFORE WALKING OFF.

BACK TO THE RING, "INSIDE THE FIRE" BY DISTURBED KICKS UP AND TROY GAFGEN COMES OUT TO A FAVORABLE REACTION. HE IS IN STREET CLOTHES AND HAS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "Wow.... can you believe that? Travis Wakeman may be missing some teeth after that".

J.R.: "What business is Wakeman's personal issues to Elijah Burke? And what is Troy Gafgen coming out here for? I don't have this on my notes anywhere".

Lawler: "Maybe he's ready to announce his resolution"!

GAFGEN GETS INTO THE RING AND IS HANDED A MICROPHONE.

Troy Gafgen: "I know you have all been waiting for my new year's resolution, and I've finally come up with one. It's not exactly what I wanted because the first few ideas I pitched.... I was told I had to make a resolution within reason. Well that's not what I was told before the battle royal I so valiantly won! (he calms down quickly) But no matter, because I am going to make WrestleMania 10 a very memorable night in the life of myself and all my fans. And I am going to do that in the WrestleMania Jackpot because as of right now, I am making myself the first participant in that match! Everyone else in it will have to qualify, but not me. And when I win that match and pull down that briefcase...... the new year's resolution I just announced will pale in comparison to when I cash that in"!

GAFGEN DROPS THE MIC AS "INSIDE THE FIRE" PLAYS AGAIN AND HE LEAVES THE RING TO WHAT IS NOW A MIXED REACTION.

J.R.: "Strange behavior and a strange attitude seems to have befelled this kid, but he did come up with a unique resolution".

Lawler: "I like it! A chance for Gafgen to earn a guaranteed shot at the World or Universal title! Great selection"!

J.R.: "And fans, you don't want to go away! I have just been given some huge news! First off, Axl Irvin has been added as a participant in the thirty man Royal Rumble! But not only that, after what we just saw in the back, Travis Wakeman has agreed to face Elijah Burke...... tonight"!

THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, ELIJAH BURKE IS HEADING TO THE RING WITH HIS MUSIC PLAYING. MOST OF THE CROWD IS BOOING AND HECKLING HIM.

J.R.: "We are back live here with TWF Rampage and here comes the man who just about knocked Travis Wakeman cold backstage not even ten minutes ago".

Lawler: "Well let's not forget that Elijah Burke is a former toughman champion in Jacksonville. He won over one hundred fights, J.R."!

J.R.: "Well he's gonna be in a fight for sure right here".

JUST THEN, "ENTER SANDMAN" BY METALLICA COMES ON AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A VERY ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE. HOWEVER, HE WALKS TO THE RING VERY GINGERLY.

J.R.: "And here he comes..... with a new entrance song and everything"!

Lawler: "Well I'm not sure what's with the choice of Metallica, but I do know that Wakeman is still not right.... it's easy to see"!

J.R.: "Well he's coming out for competition so he's either better than we think or not real intelligent".

Elijah Burke vs. Travis Wakeman

As the bell sounded, Wakeman slowly walked up to Burke, only to be slapped across the face. Burke then left the ring but the fans at ringside tried to point out that Wakeman followed him. Burke then turned right into right hand that knocked him into the announce table. Wakeman then grabbed him and threw him back towards the ring, rolling him in. Wakeman came in after him and started to put the boots to Burke in the corner before referee Jose Mendez pulled him back. Burke slowly got up in the corner and Wakeman charged in with a clothesline, but Burke moved out of the way. After cracking Wakeman with a few quick jabs, Burke loaded up his arm for a stiff European uppercut. He then delivered a snap mare before slapping the back of Wakeman's head a couple of times. He then kicked Wakeman in the square of the back. Burke had taken control of the match as he pulled Wakeman up and whipped him into the corner. He then pulled down both kneepads, calling for the "Elijah Express". But when he went for his flying double knee, Wakeman moved out of the way. After drilling Burke with a clothesline, Wakeman got a fierce look in his eyes before delivering a Samoan drop. He went for the cover, but Burke kicked out at 2. Suddenly, Sylvester Terkay began to make his way down the ramp, distracting Wakeman. But Wakeman pointed at him as if asking him to watch before getting Burke up and delivering the "Royal Flush", bringing a very abrupt end to the match.

Match Time: 4:10

But after the match, Terkay hit the ring and was all over Wakeman. The fans booed as Burke recovered to join in on the ambush. Following a nasty double DDT, Terkay lifted Wakeman up and delivered the Muscle Buster.

J.R.: "Now what the hell is this about?! What do these men have against Wakeman"?!

Lawler: "I'm tellin' ya, J.R., they know he's not up to par and they're trying to make a huge name for themselves by taking him out..... for good"!

WAKEMAN WAS DOWN ON THE MAT AS BURKE AND TERKAY LEFT THE RING TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "Well I have a feeling that whether he's up to par or not.... Wakeman will come looking for these two"!

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING BY WITH RANDY ORTON, WHO HAS THE TWF WORLD TITLE OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.

Todd Grisham: "Randy, later tonight in the main event, you will team with Sean O'Haire to face Sebastian Cain and your opponent at the Royal Rumble, the man you will defend........

Randy Orton: "Ya know what, Todd? I could care less. I could care less who my opponents are..... I could care less who my tag team partner is. Ya see, when you're the best and you know it..... none of that stuff matters. So................

JUST THEN, SEAN O'HAIRE COMES UP WITH A BOOK WHICH HE HAS OPEN.

Sean O'Haire: (laughing) "Read this part..... it's great".

ORTON TAKES THE BOOK AND READS IT FOR A MINUTE.

Orton: "That's disgusting, man. What is this"?

O'Haire: "It's the diary of Lindsay...... Sebastian Cain's sister. Don't you get it? She's a hooker..... that's the secret Cain has been trying to hide".

Orton: "Is this what you took out of his locker"?

O'Haire: "It sure is..... and it's been an enjoyable read".

EVEN ORTON LOOKS A LITTLE WIERDED OUT AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE OFFICE OF ROWDY RODDY PIPER. INSIDE, HE IS TALKING WITH PRIMO AND CARLITO.

Carlito: "Yeah, we're gonna take it to those punks Rhodes and Dibiase tonight".

Primo: "Yeah, it's gonna be cool".

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "I'm sure it is.... I have no doubt".

Carlito: "So..... is he here"?

Piper: "Oh yeah, he's here. And he plans to have a little talk with my good friend Jason Oliver".

PIPER SMILES AND BOTH CARLITO AND PRIMO LAUGH BEFORE THE SHOT FADES.

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

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

Carlito and Primo vs. Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase w/ Jason Oliver

Jason Oliver accompanied his boys out for this one as they took on the Colon brothers. Rhodes started the match with Carlito and the two traded armdrags before Rhodes got in a quick finger to the eye. But when he whipped Carlito to the ropes, Carlito used them to fly back with an elbow that caught Rhodes right on the chin. He then popped up and tagged in his brother before they pulled Rhodes up and delivered a double standing dropkick. Primo then went to the top rope but as referee Scott Martin got Carlito back to his corner, Dibiase came around and pushed Primo off. Rhodes then got up and slapped the hand of Dibiase to bring him into the match. Dibiase came in and hit Primo with 5 or 6 hard right hands before whipping him to the ropes and taking him out with a clothesline. He then turned and drilled Carlito with a cheap shot. Dibiase went back to Primo but was rolled up with a small package and Martin counted the 1.......2.........., but Rhodes came in to break it up. Carlito then came into the ring and he and Cody Rhodes exchanged blows while Primo went to the top rope, looking for a missile dropkick. But Dibiase was able to get out of the way and Primo landed hard on the mat before Dibiase grabbed him and delivered the "Dream Street" to pick up the win.

Match Time: 4:38

Lawler: "Oh man, I love that move"!

J.R.: "A variation of his father's Million Dollar Dream with his own twist and it has gotten he and Cody Rhodes the victory".

JUST THEN, THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS WHEN "SUPERFLY" JIMMY SNUKA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK.

Lawler: "What the.............

J.R.: "Wait a minute...... it's Superfly Jimmy Snuka...... a true legend in this business, King".

Lawler: "This must be who Rowdy Roddy Piper was referring to"!

SNUKA GETS INTO THE RING AND JASON OLIVER TELLS RHODES AND DIBIASE TO BACK OFF. SNUKA BEGINS TO HAVE SOME WORDS WITH OLIVER WHEN DEUCE SNUKA COMES OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A MICROPHONE.

Deuce: "Wait..... wait....... Dad, what are you doing"?

BY NOW, OLIVER HAS A MICROPHONE.

Deuce: "I swear, I didn't know he was gonna be here".

Jason Oliver: "Ya know, Deuce..... you seem to be very worried about someone who's not really your father".

J.R.: "Oh come on".

Oliver: "This guy adopted you..... probably because his impotence wouldn't allow him to have his own kids".

JIMMY SNUKA SLAPS OLIVER ACROSS THE FACE AND OLIVER STRIKES HIM WITH THE MICROPHONE, KNOCKING HIM DOWN.

J.R.: "Come on! That's Jimmy Snuka! You can't do that"!

Oliver: "Remember what I said earlier, Deuce".

OLIVER WAITS FOR SNUKA TO GET UP AND WHEN HE DOES, HE KICKS HIM IN THE GUT BUT DEUCE GETS IN THE WAY AND SHIELDS HIS DAD. DEUCE THEN BEGINS TO PULL JIMMY SNUKA AWAY WHEN RHODES AND DIBIASE ATTACK HIM. RHODES AND DIBIASE RENDER DEUCE HELPLESS BEFORE OLIVER COMES UP AND AFTER HAVING A FEW WORDS FOR HIM, DELIVERS A NASTY SUPERKICK THAT KNOCKS DEUCE TO THE MAT.

JIMMY SNUKA GOES TO CHECK ON DEUCE AS "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN PLAYS AND OLIVER LEAVES WITH DIBIASE AND RHODES TO THE LOUDEST BOOS ALL NIGHT.

J.R.: "Well I am disgusted right now! This is the most pathetic thing I have seen in a long while"!

Lawler: "Well I think it's safe to say Deuce has been booted from GeNext"!

J.R.: "Oh, you say that like it's a bad thing! I wouldn't be a part of GeNext if I was getting paid to do it"!

Lawler: "A strong message has been sent here".

J.R.: "Yeah, and you can bet that Roddy Piper saw every damn bit of it"!

BACKSTAGE..........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TROY GAFGEN WALKING DOWN THE HALL WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE WHEN D'LO BROWN COMES UP FROM BEHIND.

D'Lo Brown: "Hey Troy!

GAFGEN TURNS AROUND

You mean to tell me that after all the ideas we gave you to help the TWF and the locker room here on Rampage, you decided to help no one but yourself"?

Troy Gafgen: "Uh.... yeah, I guess I did".

D'Lo Brown: "You make me sick, man".

D'LO TURNS TO WALK AWAY BUT GAFGEN GRABS HIS SHOULDER AND SPINS HIM AROUND, COLD COCKING HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND. GAFGEN THEN PICKS HIM UP AND THROWS HIM INTO THE WALL. AFTER STANDING OVER D'LO FOR A MOMENT, GAFGEN WALKS AWAY.

Randy Orton and Sean O'Haire vs. Rob Van Dam and Sebastian Cain

This match was pretty much a brawl from the get-go and referee Jim Korderas had many oppurtunities to just throw it out. About 2 minutes into the match, Orton and Van Dam went outside the ring and were fighting all over the arena while Cain and O'Haire tangled on the inside. Cain and Orton were the legal men in the match. Cain took some knifedge chops from O'Haire before coming back with a big right hand. He went for an irish whip but O'Haire reversed it and dropped his head a little too soon, finding himself on the receiving end of a kneelift by Cain. Outside the ring, RVD blocked a punch from Orton and got in a kick to the gut before going for a jumping spin kick but Orton ducked and RVD went off the side of the ramp, landing hard on the arena floor below. He also landed very awkwardly and immediately grabbed his right foot. Orton then ran back to the ring when he saw Cain get O'Haire up on his shoulders. Orton came in and kicked Cain in the gut, forcing him to drop O'Haire. He then hit the "RKO" and Korderas got in position to count the 1.........2..........3!

Match Time: 5:11

J.R.: "And the RKO is delivered with devastating effects"!

Lawler: "Look, J.R., O'Haire's got that diary".

O'HAIRE STOOD OVER CAIN AND DROPPED THE DIARY OF HIS SISTER RIGHT ON HIS CHEST AS THE CROWD BOOED. MEANWHILE, ORTON LEFT THE RING.

J.R.: "Sebastian Cain is gonna get Sean O'Haire one on one at the Royal Rumble and I can't wait to see what happens there".

Lawler: "And speaking of one on one..... it's gonna be Rob Van Dam versus Randy Orton for the TWF World title"!

EMTs CHECKED ON RVD WHERE HE FELL AS ORTON PEERED DOWN AT HIM FROM ATOP THE RAMP WITH A SICK GRIN WHILE "VOICES" BY REV THEORY PLAYED.

J.R.: "We're all out of time..... don't miss the Royal Rumble"!

OFF AIR..............
