"TO BE LOVED" PLAYS AND ROLLS INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO. VIDEO CLIPS OF EDGE, GINA CARANO AND HARRY SMITH HAVE BEEN SPLICED IN. THE ARENA THEN COMES INTO THE SHOT AND PYRO SPRAYS TOWARDS THE RAFTERS OFF THE RAMPAGE SET WHILE THE HUGE CROWD GOES WILD.

Jim Ross: "Live here from East Rutherford's Izod Center it's TWF Rampage and King, what a huge night of action we have in store"!

Jerry Lawler: "A huge night without a doubt and in our main event, we will determine a new number one contender"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING JASON OLIVER ON ONE SIDE AND MONEY MIKE ON THE OTHER IS SHOWN ALONG WITH THE MARCH TO MELTDOWN LOGO.

J.R.: "Randy Orton will defend the TWF World title at MeltDown against either Money Mike or Jason Oliver and as you stated, King, that will be determined here tonight"!

"THE REALEAST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK TO A BIG CHEER. HE IS CARRYING THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE WITH HIM.

J.R.: "And what a way to start this night here in Jersey with the man who holds the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase"!

Lawler: "He's out here for one on one competition and from what I hear, the guy he's facing, Troy Gafgen, believes that he should have won that briefcase back at WrestleMania"!

"RUN TO THE HILLS" BY IRON MAIDEN COMES ON AND TROY GAFGEN IS GREETED BY NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "He was the only man who didn't qualify for the Jackpot match, using the resolution he earned by winning the New Years battle royale but if what you're hearing is true, King, there would be no better way to open some eyes than to beat Axl here tonight".

Lawler: "Gafgen is just staring at that briefcase..... he better get focused on this match".

Axl Irvin vs. Troy Gafgen

Right as the bell sounded, these two were in the center of the ring trading right hands. Gafgen was able to get a rake of his hand across the face of Axl to momentarily take control, but after knocking him into the corner, he may've gotten too overzealous, diving in with a shoulder but Axl moved out of the way and he posted that left shoulder hard. Axl came back with a backdrop suplex followed by a huge legdrop and he went for the cover, but Gafgen got his right shoulder off the mat at 2. Axl tried to get him up but Gafgen grabbed a handful of his pants and pulled him forward, sending him face first into the middle turnbuckle pad. After a hard forearm across the back, Gafgen picked Axl up and delivered a hard sidewalk slam. He hooked the leg and went for a cover but Axl was easily up. Gafgen would control the next few minutes of the match with his bruising style but he couldn't deliver the knockout blow. He was able to get Axl up on his shoulders in position for a Canadian backbreaker, but Axl slipped off and after a kick to the midsection, he delivered a big DDT. The crowd loudly cheered, but both men were down. They got up to their feet, Axl about a half second before Gafgen and again, a trade of right hands ensued. Finally, Gafgen kicked Axl in the ring shin before throwing a huge kick to the face, but Axl ducked and when he did, the foot of Gafgen struck referee Scott Martin right in the face! Axl came from behind and ran Gafgen into the ring ropes but Gafgen held onto them before using a mule kick to the groin to put Axl down. Gafgen then spotted the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase, which had been set in one of the corners. He began to make his way towards it and was about to grab it when the fans cheered as Chris Tirpak came through the crowd and leaped over the guardrail. Tirpak yanked the case away from him when Axl came from behind and clubbed Gafgen across the back. But Axl saw Tirpak holding the briefcase and he demanded it back, yelling at Tirpak. Tirpak handed it to him but right when he turned around, Tirpak punted the briefcase into his face, knocking him to the mat as Martin began to come to. Gafgen rolled over onto Irvin and Martin pounded the mat for the 3 count. Tirpak just threw his hands up and left the ring.

Match Time: 6:38

Lawler: "What the heck is Tirpak doing out here"?!

J.R.: "I have no idea, but whatever his intentions may've been, he has cost Axl Irvin this match"!

AS "RUN FOR THE HILLS" PLAYED AND GAFGEN WALKED UP THE RAMP TO THE BOOS OF THE CROWD. NEAR THE RING, TIRPAK THREW HIS HANDS UP, PLEADING WITH AXL IRVIN THAT HE DIDN'T MEAN FOR THINGS TO GO DOWN THAT WAY. AXL WAS NOT HAPPY AS HE STOOD IN THE RING.

Lawler: "Hmmm, maybe Gafgen's right..... maybe he should've won that Jackpot match"!

Smith: "Yeah and that's what I came to you for. I'm on Rampage now and you didn't get my best on Main Event. So I don't care who it is, you..... if you two can get your hands off each other long enough, or your partner....... I want a match..... tonight".

Monica: "Heh..... demanding are we? Well that's fine..... I'm sure we can send The Boogeyman out to face ya. My man here would be happy to do it himself, but it might interfere with our plans".

J.R.: "We welcome you back live to Rampage and if you missed the 2009 TWF draft, you missed the biggest news the draft has ever seen when this man, fresh off winning the Universal title for the fourth time, was drafted over here to Rampage"!

Lawler: "And stripped of the title! In muy opinion, he still is the Universal champion"!

J.R.: "Edge is not scheduled for action here tonight but he has just grabbed a microphone".

Edge: "For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last, oh, I don't know, four years or so...... I am the man who single handedly made TWF PrimeTime the highest rated show on the FOX network! Not only that, but I won the Universal title four times...... four freaking times! Has anyone here on Rampage won any title four times?!

THE CROWD BOOS THROUGH EDGE's WORDS.

But what happens? I get drafted over here to Rampage. Oh, but that's not it. By the luck of the draw, I come over here, but I also get stripped of the Universal title I just won! To me, that's not just wrong, that's damn near criminal! So what should I do? Should I come out here and complain to all you people week in and week out and listen to your unfair.... unjust boos?

THE BOOS GROW EVEN LOUDER.

See, that's what I mean. So I've decided to do exactly what I did on PrimeTime and that is to become the unquestioned best superstar on Rampage! How does that start? Well I know there are a lot of guys back there who might want to make a name for themselves, so I don't care who it is! I don't care if it's Rob Van Dam or Jeff Hardy or..... or Lenny Armstead, wait, is he even around anymore? Hell I don't............

"MISTERRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" COMES ON AND THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS WHEN KENNEDY COMES OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A MICROPHONE.

J.R.: "Well here's a guy! I don't know that Kennedy really needs to make a name for himself, but he may've just gotten tired of listening to Edge"!

KENNEDY CLIMBS UP THE RING STEPS AND STEPS THROUGH THE ROPES AS THE CROWD CONTINUES TO CHEER.

Ken Kennedy: "Edge..... I definitely don't need to make a name for myself, pretty much everyone who tunes in on a regular basis already knows my name but just incase you don't, the name is Misterr............

Edge: "Shut up! I know what your stupid name is! People in third world countries who don't even have a television know what your name is because you have to scream it at the top of your lungs every single week"!

Kennedy: "Okay, so you wanted someone to come out from the back.... here I am".

Edge: (mocking Kennedy) "Here I am. You're just a waste of my time".

EDGE DROPS THE MIC AND THE BOOS FLY AS HE BEGINS TO LEAVE THE RING. BUT HE TURNS BACK AROUND AND HITS KENNEDY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

J.R.: "Oh wait a minute..... what the hell was that"?!

SLOW TO GET UP, KENNEDY PULLS HIMSELF OFF THE MAT HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD BUT HE TURNS RIGHT INTO A HUGE SPEAR FROM THE RATED R SUPERSTAR! EDGE THEN RAISES BOTH ARMS AND THE CROWD POURS ON THE DISTASTE.

Lawler: "And then Kennedy gets a spear for his troubles"!

J.R.: "Well this crowd doesn't like this and I'm with them. Edge called out anyone from the back and he got someone and then what, a sneak attack?! Come on"!

Gina Carano: "Okay, what is your problem? You and I don't even know each other, we've never even met".

GINA CARANO RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND THAT KNOCKS MENDES TO THE FLOOR. SHE SEEMED LIKE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, BUT HAD JUST BEEN PUSHED TOO FAR.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "MY STYLE" BY THE BLACK EYED PEAS HITS AND THE LOVELY ANIYA SKY MAKES HER WAY TO THE RING TO A DECENT CHEER. CANDICE MICHELLE IS SHOWN ALREADY IN THE RING AND SHE HAS A HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE.

J.R.: "Two of the prettier superstars we have here on Rampage are set for action but what about what we just saw in the back, King"?

Lawler: "Well the divas here in the TWF are not just stunningly good looking, they are also very feisty and very competitive"!

J.R.: "Candice will square off here with Aniya Sky who we have yet to see a whole lot out of but she seems to have a tremendous future ahead of her".

Aniya Sky vs. Candice Michelle

As the bell sounded, Aniya Sky offered Candice a handshake and Candice politely accepted. The two ladies then locked up and Sky whipped Candice to the mat with an arm drag. Candice got up and shook it off before locking up with Sky again, only to run into the same result. Candice threw a clothesline but Sky ducked and clipped her with a kick to the upper body. Sky then ran at her but Candice was able to sidestep her attempt and deliver a side russian leg sweep. It was the move Candice needed to get back into the match. She pulled Sky up by the hair and began to get very aggressive with her, driving forearm after forearm into her face until referee Jack Doan pulled her away. Candice moved back in but Sky delivered a kick to the midsection before coming off the middle turnbuckle with a flying body press. But Candice was able to roll through it into a cover to get a 1.........2........, but Sky was up. Both women got to their feet and Candice threw a right hand but Sky blocked it and delivered a sharp kick to the back of Candice's right leg. Candice grabbed at the leg in pain as Sky ran the ropes but Candice delivered a very impressive flying heel kick and the crowd applauded the move. Candice got on top of Sky and got another 2 count. Upon pulling her up again, Candice sent Sky into the ropes but she dropped her head way too early as she came back and Sky grabbed her around the head and neck, jumping into the air before delivering her "DDG". Candice was out as Sky rolled her over and got the easy 3 count.

Match Time: 4:47

J.R.: "Well you can only hope that Candice is okay after that because she was driven into the mat with a ton of force"!

Lawler: "Aniya calls that move the DDG, J.R., which stands for Down Dumb Girl...... I love it"!

"MY STYLE" PLAYED AGAIN AS SKY WENT UP THE RAMP SLAPPING HANDS WITH FANS. IN THE RING, DOAN HELPED CANDICE TO A SEATED POSITION AND AT THE VERY LEAST, SHE HAD A HUGE HEADACHE.

J.R.: "It's clear that Aniya has a tremendous future here in the TWF and, pardon the pun, but the sky is the limit for this young diva"!

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS FROM BREAK, TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN STANDING BY WITH JASON OLIVER WHO HAS ON HIS WRESTLING TRUNKS, HIS HANDS ARE TAPED AND HE IS WEARING A BLACK "KING OF STING" T-SHIRT.

Todd Grisham: "We are back live here on Rampage and I am here with one of the men who will head into the March to MeltDown finals tonight with a chance to face Randy Orton for the TWF World title. Jason, what are your thoughts heading into this match tonight"?

Jason Oliver: "Do you realize how long I have waited for this moment? Not just a chance to get into the World title match, but to defeat Money Mike by doing it"?

Grisham: "Yes, your history with Money Mike has been well documented".

Oliver: "Forget the history. Mike has ran this place for long enough. I've always...... ALWAYS..... known that I was better than him. I got one shot and I came up short. Tonight..... Mike...... I don't come up short".

OLIVER LOOKS DEAD INTO THE CAMERA WITH A VERY DETERMINED LOOK IN HIS EYES BEFORE WALKING AWAY.

Elijah Burke and Dolph Ziggler vs. J.J. Ramplin and Jaden Core

This tag team match featured for of the brighest young stars Rampage has to offer. Former ECW stablemates Ramplin and Burke started the match off and after working his way out of a standing side headlock, Burke was able to push The Ram to the ropes and shoot him to the other side. Burke went for a hip toss by Ramplin blocked and threw a clothesline. But Burke ducked that and went to his boxing background, hitting both sides of The Ram's body with rights and lefts before scooping him up and dropping him across his knee with a backbreaker. Ziggler tagged into the match and shot himself in from the apron using the ring ropes and he dropped an elbow across the chest of Ramplin. Ziggler went for the cover, but Ramplin was up at 2. Ziggler got Ramplin to his feet and backed him into the corner where he battered him with 2 straight knifedge chops. After a snap mare out of the corner, Ziggler ran the ropes and delivered a low dropkick to Ramplin, knocking him to the mat. After taunting the crowd a little bit, Ziggler pulled Ramplin up and hit the ropes again but somehow, Ramplin was able to explode into him with his spear! Both men were down, but the crowd had a renewed charge of energy. Slowly, Ramplin crawled over to his corner as Core stretched his hand out as far as he could. He was about there when Burke slapped the hand of Ziggler and he ran into the ring, grabbing the left foot of Ramplin and pulling him back to the center of the mat. But Ramplin got up and grabbed Burke, lifting him up and driving him into the mat for a spinebuster. Ramplin made the cover but before he could get the 3 count, Ziggler came into the ring and put a boot to the back of his head to stop the count. Jaden Core jumped into the ring when he saw this and ducked a clothesline attempt from Ziggler before drilling him with a superkick. Ziggler fell back to the mat like he'd been shot as Core went ack to his corner, waiting for Ramplin to get over and make the tag. Finally, he did. Core hopped into the ring and Burke never knew what hit him. After a quick flurry of offense, Core whipped Burke to the corner and flew in with a nasty forearm right to Burke's face. As Burke stumbled out of the corner, Core went to the top rope and flew off but Burke got out of the way and just kicked Core right in the groin, in plain view for referee Jose Mendez, who immediately called for the bell.

Match Time: 4:12

J.R.: "Now that's a blatant disqualification if I ever saw one"!

Lawler: "And the referee has ruled the match that way, but it doesn't look like this one is over"!

FOLLOWING THE KICK TO THE GROIN, BURKE PULLED JADEN CORE UP AND WITH THE HELP OF ZIGGLER, THEY ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE HIS MASK. CORE FOUGHT THEM OFF AS BEST HE COULD UNTIL RAMPLIN CAME INTO THE RING WITH A STEEL CHAIR, CHASING ZIGGLER AND BURKE OUT.

J.R.: "What the heck are they doing"?!

Lawler: "It looked like they wanted to find out who this guy is, J.R.! Wouldn't everyone like to know"?!

J.R.: "Are you suggesting something? We might not even know who he is! All I know is there are a couple situations here that seem far from over"!

BACKSTAGE..... ROWDY RODDY PIPER's OFFICE.........

THE SHOT GOES INTO THE OFFICE OF ROWDY RODDY PIPER. HE HAS A LARGE, MUSCULAR MAN INSIDE, ONE MOST TWF VIEWERS PROBABLY DON'T RECOGNIZE.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "CJ Lethal, huh? You sure they told you to come to Rampage"?

CJ Lethal: "I'm damn sure".

Piper: "Oooh, an attitude to go along with the muscles. I ask because I was expecting another young kid that supposed to be some sort of hot shot, you might even know him".

JUST THEN THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE OFFICE DOOR WHICH SWINGS OPEN AND A MAN WITH SHORT BROWN, MESSY HAIR WALKS IN WEARING STREET CLOTHES. HE AND CJ LETHAL ENGAGE IN A STAREDOWN.

Piper: "Hmmmm, I take it you two do know each other".

CJ Lethal: "Uh, yeah, you could............

THE MAN WHO JUST ENTERED WALKS OVER TO PIPER AND EXTENDS HIS HAND, CUTTING OFF CJ LETHAL MID-SENTENCE.

Man: "Mr. Piper, the name is Duke Axe. Most of the guys call me the Diamond Spider, but either way, I'm ready for my shot here on Rampage".

Piper: "Are ya now? Well so is...... what is your name again"?

CJ Lethal: "Lethal..... CJ Lethal"!

Piper: "Whoa, don't raise your tone in here young fella. I understand you both are rarin' to go but I can tell you from experience...... if you're not ready for this..... you're gonna get chewed on and spit out! You'll both get your shot...... just be ready to grab it by the...................... (Piper pauses) you know where I'm goin' with this".

CJ LETHAL REACHES DOWN AND PICKS UP A BLACK DUFFEL BAG, SLINGING IT OVER HIS SHOULDER.

CJ Lethal: "I'll be ready".

LETHAL TURNS AND LEAVES THE ROOM AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INTO THE ARENA.

THE SHOT GOES BACK INTO THE ARENA WHERE TO THE SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP, AN AMATUER WRESTLING MAT HAS BEEN SET UP. "ON YOUR KNEES" IS PLAYING AND JACK SWAGGER IS STANDING ON THE MAT, TAUNTING THE BOOING FANS.

Lawler: "Did I hear Lilian Garcia right, J.R.? We're about to have an amatuer wrestling match here on Raw"?

J.R.: "You heard it right and not to brag or anything, but Jack Swagger is a guy I saw wrestle at Oklahoma and he was a heck of a competitor there, King. In 2006, he set a single season record by scoring thirty pins on his way to becoming an All-American".

CHEERS RING THROUGH THE ARENA WHEN "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND MATT CRUZ COMES OUT.

Lawler: "And that's probably why this is called the All American American challenge"!

J.R.: "Jack Swagger actually challenged Matt Cruz to this match and Cruz is a man who set NCAA record after NCAA record at the University of Texas and I guess you could say this is the TWF's version of the Red River Shootout".

Lawler: "Well try not to be biased, J.R., this should be really good".

J.R.: "From what we understand, the first man to score a pin will win this".

All American American Challenge

Jack Swagger vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz

An unknown referee stepped onto the mat as Swagger tried to come up behind Cruz. Swagger insisted that Cruz get on all fours to start the match in the ready position and Cruz got down. Swagger grabbed him and tried to roll him into a pin but Cruz escaped and got Swagger in a waistlock and began to roll him to his shoulders. He almost had Swagger pinned but Swagger used his shoulders to roll again and he went outside the circle. The referee asked for the match to be restarted. Again, Cruz got down for Swagger to have the top position. But this time, Swagger hauled off and kicked Cruz squarely in the abdomen! The crowd loudly booed, but Swagger wasn't done. From there, he picked Cruz up and delivered the Doctor Bomb on the hard mat!

J.R.: "Now just what the hell was that"?!

Lawler: "Well I hate to admit it, J.R., but I think Swagger knew he couldn't handle Cruz so he decided to attack him instead"!

J.R.: "Well I'm no fan of the Longhorns, but that was a cheap move by Swagger"!

"ON YOUR KNEES" PLAYED AGAIN AND THE CROWD BOOED AS SWAGGER LEFT TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA. CRUZ WAS STILL DOWN, BARELY MOVING AS THE SHOW WENT TO BREAK.

Axl Irvin: "Don't play stupid with me, Tirpak! For some reason, you decided to get involved in my match tonight and I know you're gonna say you were out there trying to help or whatever, but mark my words, man, stay out of my way"!

Harry Smith vs. The Boogeyman

Intent on making up for what happened at TWF's main event, Harry Smith got the match he asked for against one half of the Rampage tag team champs. Boogeyman made his usual yet unusual ring entrance but as he was going through his body gyrations, Smith attacked him from behind. After some stiff shots to the back, Smith whipped Boogeyman to the corner and ran in with a hard clothesline before just pushing Boogeyman to the mat. Smith then took Boogeyman's tag team title from around his waist and held it up, waiting for Boogeyman to get up. Referee Chad Patton warned him he'd be disqualified but Boogeyman was able to get up and take Smith out with a clothesline. Boogeyman went on the offensive and he was all over Smith. Later in the match, he would hit a flying splash on Smith in the corner. He then lifted him up with 2 hands by the throat but Smith was able to get free and after a kick to the midsection, he put Boogeyman down with a DDT. After rolling him over, Smith covered him and hooked the leg but Boogeyman was up at 2. Surprised, Smith pulled Boogey up and whipped him to the corner, charging in with the clothesline again. But Boogeyman got out of the way and Smith slammed into the corner hard. From there, Boogeyman picked Smith up in somewhat of a reverse bodyslam position. He then just slammed him straight into the mat and rolled him over for the 1........2...........3.

Match Time: 7:03

J.R.: "Well chalk another one up for Boogeyman and King, I know Harry Smith came out here to prove he could beat either one of the tag team champs, but he's come up a little short"!

Lawler: "Oh but look at this..... get outta there, Harry, he's gettin' the worms"!

AS BOOGEYMAN's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE DANCED AROUND THE RING, HE REACHED INTO A DIRTY GREENISH BAG AND PULLED OUT A HANDFUL OF WORMS, STUFFING THEM INTO HIS MOUTH. BUT JUST THEN, TYSON KIDD APPEARED IN THE RING AFTER RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK AND HE WAS ALL OVER THE BOOGEYMAN.

J.R.: "Hey wait a minute..... it's Tyson Kidd"!

Lawler: "Well Harry Smith owes this guy a huge favor for sparing him from whatever Boogeyman had planned with those worms"!

SMITH JOINED IN ON THE ATTACK AND HE AND KIDD WERE ALL OVER BOOGEYMAN. SMITH WAS THEN ABLE TO GET HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDER TO DELIVER HIS RUNNING POWERSLAM. SMITH AND KIDD THEN BOTH STOOD OVER THE BOOGEYMAN, RAISING THEIR ARMS TO THE BOOS OF THE CROWD.

J.R.: "Well there is a history between these two men and I think you know what that is, King".

Lawler: "I've heard something about that and all I can say is it looks like Tyson Kidd and Harry Smith have decided to combine their family ties".

BACKSTAGE.......

ROWDY RODDY PIPER IS SHOWN IN THE BACK, LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SUDDENLY, HE RUNS INTO ROB STORM, WHO IS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HIM.

Rob Storm: "I've got some questions and I hope you have some answers".

Roddy Piper: "Okay, first off, take a step back. I don't like the way you're in my face... okay".

Storm: "Do you know when the last time I was booked for a match was? I don't even know why I come to the shows anymore. I am Canada's favorite son...... something I'm sure you can appreciate. But I'm not here to sit in locker rooms..... I'm not here to........

Piper: "Did ya ever consider it might be your attitude? Think about that.........

PIPER STARTS TO WALK AWAY.

Storm: "I'm not the only one, Piper...... there's more of us".

PIPER STOPS TO LISTEN BUT NEVER TURNS BACK. HE JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD AND WALKS AWAY.

"YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER FROM THE CROWD, SLAPPING HANDS WITH FANS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE RAMP.

J.R.: "Interesting situation there, we haven't seen Rob Storm in quite some time, have we, King"?

Lawler: "Well it sounds like that's not his fault. Piper could have a big situation on his hands there".

J.R.: "Well here's another guy who is trying to work his way up the ranks here on Rampage but rather than complaining about it, he's ready to do it in the ring".

"HEY MAN, NICE SHOT" BY FILTER COMES ON AND BOOS SOON FOLLOW AS RICHARD RAMSLEY COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HIS HAIR MOSTLY COVERING HIS EYES, HE SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP. HE IS ALSO CARRYING SOME SORT OF MANILLA ENVELOPE IN HIS HAND.

Lawler: "And he's gonna have his hands full tonight. I'l tell ya, J.R., he might fare better complaining in the back".

J.R.: "Well that's not the way for the superstar from Orangeburg, South Carolina. He'll definitely be in for a fight tonight, but what does Richard Ramsley have with him"?

Richard Ramsley vs. Shelton Benjamin

As the bell sounded to begin the match, Ramsley and Benjamin circled one another, looking for a good spot to move in. It was finally Benjamin who did, dropping to one knee and reaching around Ramsley to get him in a standing waistlock. Ramsley broke the hold with a back elbow to the mouth before running the ropes but Benjamin recovered to respond with a flying heel kick. He then picked Ramsley up and pushed him into the corner, rocking him with several overhand rights. After a snap suplex, Benjamin looked out into the crowd who gave him a big cheer to let him know he was in control. But as he picked Ramsley up off the mat, he caught a finger to the eye and Ramsley then dropped him with a running knee lift. From there, Ramsley mounted Benjamin and fired down with hard fists, pummelling the former amatuer star from the University of Minnesota. Ramsley picked Shelton up and delivered a body slam before going to the outside of the ring to climb the turnbuckle. But he was very slow in making his way up and Benjamin was able to run up the turnbuckle and bring him down with a ring rattling belly to belly throw. Both men were down but Ramsley landed very hard. Shelton was able to roll over to him and drape a hand over his chest as referee Scott Martin counted the 1.........2..........., but Ramsley got his right shoulder off the mat just in time. Knowing he was close to snatching a huge victory, Benjamin got Ramsley up and slung him into the corner. He then backed up to the corner on the other side of the ring for a huge running start, flying in with the Shelton Splash. But Ramsley got out of the way and after hitting the top turnbuckle pad face first, Shelton was rolled up and Ramsley, with a handful of his tights, got the quick 3 count.

Match Time: 5:49

Lawler: "He got him"!

J.R.: "Well the referee never saw Ramsley grabbing the tights and that's too bad because this was turning into a great match"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute, what's he doing now"?

AS SHELTON TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO MARTIN THAT RAMSLEY HAD THE TIGHTS HOOKED, RAMSLEY WENT OUTSIDE THE RING AND GRABBED A STEEL CHAIR. AFTER FOLDING IT OVER, HE BROUGHT IT INTO THE RING AND SMACKED SHELTON ACROSS THE BACK WITH IT.

J.R.: "Oh what a shot! You could hear that echo all over the arena"!

WITH SHELTON DOWN, RAMSLEY SAT THE CHAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND WENT TO GET THE ENVELOPE HE CAME TO THE RING WITH. AFTER OPENING IT AND REMOVING IT's CONTENTS, RAMSLEY TOOK A SEAT IN THE CHAIR.

Lawler: "What the heck is this about"?>

Richard Ramsley: "So even after the revelations that have come out concerning Sebastian Cain's past, you people don't look at him any differently. There's no shame upon him like there is on me! And why...... because I admit there is no good in me?! Cause I don't put up this facade that I'm not that guy?! Well Sebastian Cain....... Sebastian Cain is that guy"!

RAMSLEY ASSEMBLES SOME PAPERS, READY TO READ FROM THEM.

Lawler: "What is this about, J.R.? This is kind of disturbing".

Ramsley: "In my hand is a copy of the case file from Sebastian's little accident..... the one you people have already swept under the rug! From the accident scene to police reports to medical records, it's all here. Where should I start? Ah..... here we go".

It was a cold, wintery night in Cincinnati, Ohio. A woman minding her own business has been struck by a vehicle driven by some out of control lunatic".

J.R.: "This is no case file"!

Ramsley: "This young, innocent woman, a twenty two year old girl named Cassandra, in her senior year at Youngstown State University, full of hope, aspirations and dreams, has been crippled from the waist down, paralyzed for the rest of her life. The man driving the vehicle has a blood alcohol content level of .178, way above legal limits. There is...............

SUDDENLY, SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HIS EYES ARE WELLED UP WITH TEARS AND IN ONE HAND, HE HOLDS A MICROPHONE. IN THE OTHER, A BASEBALL BAT.

Sebastian Cain: "Shut up! You shut your mouth now, Ramsley"!

WITH A HUGE SMIRK ON HIS FACE, RAMSLEY GETS OUT OF THE RING AS CAIN SLOWLY APPROACHES. RAMSLEY GOES INTO THE CROWD AND CAIN DOESN'T EVEN SEEM TO HAVE THE ENERGY TO GO AFTER HIM. INSTEAD, HE ANGRILY SMASHES THE BASEBALL BAT ON THE RING STEPS, BREAKING THE BAT.

Lawler: "Wow, this is....... I really don't even know what to say".

J.R.: (quietly) "We'll be back".

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN IS IN THE BACK.

Courtney Taylor: "Hello everyone, I am the new backstage correspondent here on Rampage, and my name is Courtney Taylor. Please welcome my very first guest, Money Mike".

MONEY MIKE WALKS INTO THE SHOT AND STANDS NEXT TO COURTNEY, CHECKING HER OUT UP AND DOWN.Money Mike: "Yeah, something about coming up short? From what I've heard, that's been a problem he's had all his life. See, Oliver..... you've always ran around this place acting like you're one of the big stars and it always takes someone like me to knock you back down to reality. Yeah, you've made it this far, but isn't that the story of your career? You may want to defeat me, Jason, just as bad as you wanted to lose your virginity. I think you finally did that, but that's as far as it goes. So maybe after I knock you down that peg again tonight, you'll realize that your career has gone as far as it can go. Maybe you can go become a porn star or something. Hey, it worked once for The Boogeyman. Tonight, Oliver, you'll realize that you're just another guy......... who is less fortunate than someone like me".

MONEY MIKE WALKS AWAY BUT CAMERAS PICK UP IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE RANDY ORTON RUNS INTO EDGE.

Edge: "Ready to go out and do some more guest commentary, champ"?

Randy Orton: "Look, Edge, I know you're on Rampage now and even though you might've been a big shot on PrimeTime..... don't overstep your boundaries".

Edge: "My boundaries? In case you haven't noticed, I seem to have this knack for having gold around my waist. So if you get through this March to MeltDown thing..... you can bet I'll be coming for my shot at that belt"!

Randy Orton: "If I get through the March to MeltDown? Heh...............

ORTON WALKS AWAY AS "VOICES" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND CAMERAS FOLLOW HIM ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA, PAST THE "GORILLA POSITION" AND INTO THE ARENA. BOOS POUR THROUGH THE ARENA AS ORTON MAKES HIS WAY TO THE BROADCAST POSITION.

J.R.: "And it is time for the finals of the March to MeltDown and for the third time now, we will be joined by the current TWF World champion, Randy Orton"!

ORTON GRABS A HEADSET AND SITS DOWN, IGNORING JERRY LAWLER's ATTEMPT AT A HANDSHAKE.

Lawler: "Okay well it's obvious the champ isn't in the best mood right now".

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN PLAYS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS.

J.R.: "Well this is quite a quandry for the fans. We know they don't like the current World champion, but they might like the two men in the finals of this March to MeltDown even less".

Randy Orton: "This has nothing to do with the fans, J.R. This is about the champion facing the top challenger, whoever that may be".

Lawler: "Well we've already seen Rob Van Dam and Mr. Kennedy get eliminated from this thing, it's down to just two guys now"!

"KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD STARTS UP AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT TO EVEN LOUDER BOOS THAN OLIVER RECEIVED.

J.R.: "Well here is a man that has had a taste of the World title in the past and he'd be a very tough opponent for anyone".

Orton: "Money Mike is clearly one of the top guys we have around here and he would be a tough opponent".

Lawler: "Well these two men have a lot of history together. They were once part of the Horsemen and Money Mike has won the only match they've ever had".

J.R.: "Money Mike claimed that Oliver is just less fortunate than him. The March to MeltDown finals are set and the winner is going to MeltDown to challenge Randy Orton for the biggest prize in our game"!

March to MeltDown Finals

Jason Oliver vs. Money Mike

Referee Jim Korderas asked for the bell to make the match official and the two men walked to the center of the ring, getting face to face. After some words were exchanged, Money Mike took a step back but stung Oliver with a right hand he never saw coming. He followed that up with 3 more straight rights before sending him to the ropes but Oliver came back with a flying clothesline that took Mike off his feet. Oliver got up and covered him, but Mike kicked out after a count of 1. Oliver's plan was to go for a cover after every offensive move and after driving Mike into the mat with an STO, he went for cover but Mike kicked out for the seventh time. Oliver then used the ring ropes to choke Money Mike, using Korderas' count up to 4 before he let it go. Oliver then ran at Mike but Mike countered with a backbody drop that sent Oliver out of the ring. But just then, the rest of GeNext, Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase made their way out to the ring. Rhodes and Dibiase helped Oliver to his feet but Money Mike went right at them, leaving the ring and clotheslining Oliver. After picking Oliver up and rolling him into the ring, Mike turned and cracked Cody Rhodes with a right hand. Dibiase motioned as if to go after Mike, but Korderas threatened to disqualify Oliver if he did. From this point, Money Mike was all over Oliver. After a vicious DDT, Money Mike made the cover but Rhodes was distracting Korderas. Suddenly, the tag team champions, Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James made their way out along with Monica. Boogeyman and Saint James began to brawl with Rhodes and Dibiase but Monica went around to the other side of the ring and laid a pair of brass knuckles on the mat. As she nonchalantly walked away, Oliver rolled over and grabbed the brass knucks. Money Mike came over to Oliver but Oliver got up and popped Mike with the brass knuckle laced right hand, knocking him to the mat. Oliver then put on a rear naked choke as Korderas turned back to the action. Korderas could get no response from Mike and he checked his arm. When Mike's right arm fell lifelessly to the mat, Korderas asked for the bell.

Match Time: 6:13

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" PLAYED LOUDLY AND KORDERAS RAISED THE ARM OF JASON OLIVER.

J.R.: "Korderas has awarded Oliver the match! What the heck is going on here"?!

Orton: "That's what I want to know! Oliver just cheated"!

J.R.: "Oh like you care about that, Orton and the assist actually came from Monica"!

Lawler: "I have to believe that Monica meant to get those brass knuckles to Money Mike! Surely she wouldn't have done that on purpose, would she"?!

OLIVER STOOD IN THE RING STARING AT ORTON WHO ROSE FROM THE BROADCAST TABLE AND HELD UP THE WORLD TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

J.R.: "It's hard to say, King, but even if it was an accident, Money Mike has been eliminated from a World title shot and Randy Orton will now defend against Jason Oliver at MeltDown"!
