WHEN RAMPAGE TAKES THE AIR, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM TWF's MAIN EVENT OF CODY RHODES SHOCKINGLY TURNING ON JASON OLIVER, ASSISTING RANDY ORTON IN TALKING HIS WORLD TITLE. THIS QUOTE FROM TODD GRISHAM FROM THAT BROADCAST ECHOED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS: Cody Rhodes just cost Jason Oliver the World title he worked so hard to earn and he's now leaving with Orton"!

THAT LEADS INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO AS "TO BE LOVED" BY PAPA ROACH STARTS THINGS UP. ONCE THE ARENA COMES INTO THE LIVE SHOT, PYRO POPS OFF THE SET WHILE THE CROWD SCREAMS AND CHEERS, SENDING A THUNDEROUS ROAR THROUGH THE BUD WALTON ARENA.

Jim Ross: "Thank you for joining us tonight, everyone! We welcome you to another edition of TWF Rampage here on the USA network and what a night it's gonna be, King"!

"VOICES" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND RANDY ORTON STEPS OUT WITH THE TWF WORLD TITLE OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER. WITH HIM AS WELL IS CODY RHODES AND THE PAIR IS MET WITH NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Jerry Lawler: "Very excited to be here tonight, J.R., and look at this....... we're starting things off with the new champ"!

J.R.: "It didn't take Randy Orton long to regain the World title, but Cody Rhodes has sure as hell got some explaining to do"!

ORTON GRABS A MICROPHONE AFTER HE AND RHODES ENTER THE RING AND THEY BOTH SOAK UP THE BOOS.

Randy Orton: "Oh people please! Do you really think that you booing me hurts my feelings at all?! I could care less whether you like it or not..... I am your World champion...... again!

THE BOOS GROW LOUDER

Now Cody here decided that it was time to align himself with someone who can bring out the star in him so has been so desperate to shine. He decided to join a winner. GeNext was taking him nowhere and now..... GeNext is nothing".

ORTON HANDS RHODES THE MIC

Cody Rhodes: "What Randy says is absolutely true. My father was one of the biggest stars in the history of this business and now..... I'm ready to follow in his footsteps. That was never gonna happen in GeNext. Jason Oliver was never gonna take me there because Jason Oliver is all about one thing..... himself! So now.................

SUDDENLY, "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" HITS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT ALONG WITH TED DIBIASE.

J.R.: "Well it looks like business is about to pick up here, King".

Jason Oliver: "Cody, do you really believe any of that crap?! You think you should be the star that your father was, right? You aren't and never will be half the star your dad was! What you are..... and all you will ever be..... is a lackey. Whether it's with me or with Orton! If you think Orton is gonna take you to the top, you're out of your mind! But now, that brings me to you, Randy. You have something that I............

Orton: "Wait..... before you even go there, you do not have a rematch, Jason! You were too stupid or maybe too cocky to get that added to the contract! But because of Piper, you do have a chance to earn a rematch. That's if you and Teddy there can defeat me and Cody in a tag team match at War in the Winter! But if you lose..... you will not get a rematch..... period"!

Lawler: "Wow, listen to that"!

J.R.: "Huge news for the pay-per-view".

Oliver: "Hmmm, well that's funny, cause I've got some news that came straight from Roddy Piper as well. Now, lord knows that he and I don't see eye to eye..... but he did give in to what I wanted this time. That's why later tonight, Cody...... it's gonna be me and you, one on one"!

THE CROWD CHEERS AS "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" PLAYS AGAIN. RHODES SEEMS TO LIKE THE MATCH AS THE TWO TEAMS STARE ACROSS THE RING AT ONE ANOTHER.

J.R.: "Jason Oliver is not gonna have to wait long to get his hands on Cody Rhodes..... that match will happen here tonight"!

Lawler: "And what about that huge tag team match signed for War in the Winter"?

J.R.: "A great start to this night..... we'll be right back"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR TACO BELL IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD FOR "BURN NOTICE".

RETURN FROM BREAK.... ROWDY RODDY PIPER's OFFICE.....

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, MUHAMMAD HASSAN IS WITH ROWDY RODDY PIPER. CAMERAS HAVE PICKED UP AN ONGOING CONVERSATION.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "Look, there's no hatchet to bury. I just hope what you say is true.... I would love to see you as a changed man".

Muhammad Hassan: "And I look forward to being a successful part of TWF Rampage.... thank you for the oppurtunity".

HASSAN EXTENDS HIS HAND. PIPER HESITATES, BUT ACCEPTS THE HANDSHAKE.

"OH RADIO" PLAYS AND ZACK RYDER STEPS OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS.

J.R.: "We welcome you back live here to Rampage but King, I know that's a guy neither of us are thrilled to see back".

Lawler: "Yeah, and I'm not buying this changed man crap either. But let's talk about Zack Ryder who is gonna compete in our next match here".

J.R.: "Well he's full of confidence, there's no doubt about that".

Lawler: "And people criticize him for that and the fact that his trunks have one long leg and one short leg, but this kid is loaded with talent"!

"IN THE SHADOWS" BY THE RASMUS PLAYS AND JADEN CORE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK TO A GOOD POP.

J.R.: "But he is sure to have his hands full with this guy. After nearly pulling off a win to become King of Cable champion on Main Event, Jaden Core will be hungry to get a new winning streak started and another title shot perhaps in his future".

Lawler: "Well up to that match with Sebastian Cain, this guy seemed untouchable. Cain made him look human finally".

Zack Ryder vs. Jaden Core

The bell sounded to start the match and Core immediately went into a martial arts style stance. Ryder stayed back, not wanting to get into a kicking war with the masked man. Core moved in and the two men locked up but it was Ryder who was able to back him into the corner. Referee Scott Martin stepped in and asked for a break but Core belted the chest of Ryder with 3 hard slaps. He then then threw a kick but Ryder caught it and took Core down with a dragon whip. He then dropped an elbow on the inside of Core's leg before pulling at it, trying to twist it out of position. But with his free foot, Core kicked Ryder square in the face to get free. He then got up and drilled Ryder with a jumping knee right in the jaw. A staggered Ryder then fell victim to a very unique neckbreaker drop, a move that nearly won the match for Core. Core hit the ropes and connected with a basement dropkick before measuring Ryder for a kick to the head. Ryder slowly began to get up but was able to duck when he saw the kick coming. He then got Core up in the electric chair position. But Core punched Ryder twice in the head to get free. He then went for an irish whip but Ryder reversed it and went for a leapfrog. Somehow, he was able to turn the leapfrog into a legdrop to the back of Core's head, driving him face first into the mat all in the same motion. Ryder then rolled Jaden over and hooked the leg as Martin pounded the mat 3 times.

Match Time: 4:00

J.R.: "What a move by Zack Ryder! You're right, King, you can say what you want about the kid's attitude, but there's no questioning his ability".

Lawler: "And instead of starting a new win streak, Jaden Core is on a bit of a losing streak".

RYDER LEFT THE RING WITH A SPOOKED LOOK ON HIS FACE AND COULD BE SEEN MOUTHING THE WORDS "I THINK I KNOW THAT GUY". CORE STOOD UP IN THE RING AND GRABBED THE TOP ROPE ANGRILY, THE DISAPPOINTMENT SHOWN IN HIS EYES.

J.R.: "A good win for Zack Ryder and you're right, King.... maybe people are starting to figure Jaden Core out".

BACKSTAGE.....

IN THE BACK, COURTNEY TAYLOR IS STANDING BY WITH EDGE.

Courtney Taylor: "Edge, it has just been officially announced that you will face Axl Irvin one on one at War in the Winter. But I gotta ask.... where's the briefcase"?

Edge: "Well that's for me to know and you to find out, now isn't it? See the way I look at it, Axl has to cash that briefcase in by WrestleMania. And how is he gonna do that if he doesn't even have it? See, I may not be able to use it........ so the next best thing will be to make sure he can't"!

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE BILL CUTTING IS SHOWN GETTING LOOSE. THE ONCE FAMILIAR ARABIC TUNE OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN's THEME HITS AND HE COMES OUT HOLDING HIS HANDS OUTWARD AND WEARING HIS HEADDRESS.

J.R.: "So we now know that Edge will be facing Axl Irvin at War in the Winter but I want to know what's going through the head of Edge..... that WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase is worthless to him".

Lawler: "But he does make a good point..... Axl has to physically have the briefcase to cash in that contract"!

J.R.: "Well here comes the supposed changed man, Muhammad Hassan, the one time superstar turned Rampage General Manager and King, he wasn't very popular in either position".

Lawler: "Well, the thing about Hassan was that he automatically assumed people didn't like him when it was completely the other way around. He gave everyone no choice but to dislike him"!

J.R.: "He blamed a lot of his problems on being Arab American but he used that as a reason to lash out, if you ask me. In any event, we'll see what he can do here against Bill Cutting in his return to action here on Rampage".

Muhammad Hassan vs. Bill Cutting

The bell sounded to start the match and Hassan offered a handshake, which Cutting accepted. From a collar and elbow tie up, both men used some basic chain wrestling to start the match. Out of a standing side headlock, Hassan pushed Cutting to the ropes but Cutting came off and knocked Hassan to the mat with a shoulder tackle. He then pulled Hassan up in a front facelock but Hassan exploded his hips with a northern lights suplex. He then became very aggressive, punching at the side of Cutting's head before driving his knee into his lower back multiple times. Hassan then pulled Cutting up and whipped him to the corner but Cutting showed great athleticism by running up the turnbuckle and coming off with a reverse crossbody block. Cutting kept the offense coming but couldn't catch Hassan with anything solid. After a kick to the gut, he ran the ropes but Hassan was waiting with a nasty reverse STO. He then rolled Cutting over and slapped on the Camel Clutch in the middle of the ring. There was no escape for Cutting, and he quickly conceded.

Match Time: 5:09

J.R.: "Well, something about this man still and probably always will rub me the wrong way, but he looked very good in that match".

Lawler: "I'll have to second that, J.R., but as long as he doesn't try and get us to pity him like he did before, I won't have an issue with him this time around".

HASSAN's POST MATCH CELEBRATION IS CUT SHORT WHEN "BLACK" BY SEVENDUST COMES ON AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES, BLUE JEANS AND HIS BRAND NEW "KING OF CABLE" T-SHIRT. HE HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER AND A MICROPHONE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. IN HIS LEFT HAND IS PIECE OF PAPER.

Sebastian Cain: "Hold up just a second..... I need to get something straight".

CAIN WALKS DOWN THE RAMP AND GETS INTO THE RING.

Lawler: "What the heck is this about"?

Sebastian Cain: "So we're all supposed to believe that Muhammad Hassan, quite possibly the most hated man in the history of the TWF, is just gonna come in here and put off this "changed man" crap, right? Come on, man".

HASSAN HAS GOTTEN ANOTHER MIC BY THIS TIME.

Muhammad Hassan: "Sebastian, I'm not sure what you're out here for, but it's not gonna be like that this time".

Sebastian Cain: "What am I out here for? This (Holds up piece of paper)..... this is an interview you did with TWF.com.... and I quote, "I'm gonna make all the people and all the idiots who watch the TWF realize that I am not a man to be messed with. And I am going to push the envelope of television every chance I get, regardless of who I offend... even if it's any of those victims' families from 9-11".

Muhammad Hassan: "Whoa, that wasn't me. I definitely was misquoted somewhere".

Sebastian Cain: "Really? Because that's quite the misquote to make. See.... I don't buy this for a second. And, as the reigning TWF King of Cable, I feel it is my responsibility to get you and any of the crap you plan to pull off of tv. 9-11 is long behind us and we the proudest country in the world! We don't need garbage like you trying to bring us down"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS

Muhammad Hassan: "Garbage? Garbage, Sebastian? Look, I have a lot of respect for you as King of Cable..... I'll just have to pretend you didn't say that. I understand why people may be skeptical.... I do. But everyone deserves a second chance..... give me that chance..... Sebastian".

HASSAN EXTENDS HIS HAND AND AN OUTPOUR OF "NO's" COME OUT OF THE CROWD. SLOWLY, CAIN ACCEPTS THE HANDSHAKE AND HASSAN LEAVES THE RING TO HIS MUSIC, WHICH STARTS BACK UP.

J.R.: "Well that was certainly interesting".

Lawler: "And judging by the reaction, none of these people believe in a second chance.... at least not when it comes to Hassan! They're not buying his new attitude for a minute"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR PEPSI THROWBACK IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TARGET STORES.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS FROM BREAK, MR. KENNEDY IS STANDING BY WITH COURTNEY TAYLOR.

Courtney Taylor: "Kennedy, I just saw you come out of Rowdy Roddy Piper's office.... can you give us any details"?

Mr. Kennedy: "Well, if you must know, I was trying to get my name in early for the upcoming Royal Rumble, something I have already won before mind you, and apparently some guy named Ezekiel Jackson........

EZEKIEL JACKSON WALKS INTO THE SHOT.

has requested a match with me. What's up man, I'm..... well you know the name.

KENNEDY PUTS HIS HAND OUT FOR JACKSON TO SHAKE BUT BIG ZEKE JUST STARES HIM DOWN.

Kennedy: "Whatever man, but if you think you're gonna make a name for yourself at my expense, you've got another thing comin'".

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

MATT CRUZ COMES OUT TO "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE BUT IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY CJ LETHAL, WHO IS WEARING A TEXAS LONGHORNS T-SHIRT ALONG WITH BLACK WARM UP PANTS WITH ORANGE STRIPES ON THE LEGS. LETHAL IS ALL OVER CRUZ, YELLING THAT HE IS A "DISGRACE TO TEXAS". FINALLY, OFFICIALS COME OUT TO PULL LETHAL OFF AND CRUZ CLEARLY DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIT HIM.

J.R.: "Well this was scheduled to be a one on one match here tonight, but I don't think that was ever on the agenda for CJ Lethal".

Lawler: "CJ Lethal is still somewhat of a newcomer but if there's one thing we do know about him it's that he has a problem with Matt Cruz representing the University of Texas which is also his alma matar"!

J.R.: "It's gotta go deeper than that, King.... there has to be something else going on here! That, or CJ Lethal is out of his mind"!

The TWF Tron comes to life to show Richard Ramsley sitting in the locker room. He is sitting on a steel folding chair, and in front of him, is a TV. On the TV, is an interview from the July 9th, 2009 edition of Rampage.

(Todd Grisham: "Sebastian, first off, congratulations on your victory over Richard Ramsley at WrestleMania, but what seemed to be an even bigger story coming out of that event was the claims made by Ramsley. The claims that you have a past that you're probably not very proud of".

Sebastian Cain (takes a deep breath): "It's true...... I do have some things I don't like to talk about..... things that I continue to pay for every day of my life. But what Ramsley doesn't understand, is that you can change and become a positive person.... a credit to society.... a route he refuses to take".

Ramsley immediately grabs a remote off the floor, and points it at the TV. He then rewinds the tape.

Cain: "But what Ramsley doesn't understand, is that you can change and become a positive person.... a credit to society.... a route he refuses to take".

Ramsley once again rewinds the tape.

Cain: "...you can change and become a positive person.... a credit to society.... a route he refuses to take".

He once more rewinds the tape.

Cain: "....a route he refuses to take".

At this point, the tape stops. The TV screen changes to a blue screen, and Ramsley drops the remote. His head drops, as do his arms. Low, soft sobs can be heard as Ramsley's shoulders heave up and down.

At this point, a soft knock on the door is heard. The sound of a door opening is heard, and Troy Gafgen walks into the scene.

Troy Gafgen: "Uh... hey, Ramsley".

Ramsley seems oblivious to Troy's presence, as he continues to softly weep.

Gafgen: "You seem... um... kind of depressed lately.... well.... okay, more depressed than you usually are".

Ramsley sniffs heavily, still not acknowledging Troy.

Gafgen: "Well... I just thought, maybe.... you know, maybe you'd like to talk, or something? I know you're not the most social guy around, but... you at least used to head to the bar with the rest of us after the show. You've been running straight to the hotel after every show for awhile now...

Ramsley slowly looks over at Troy. His face is wet from tears, and his expression is blank.

Gafgen: "Right, well... look, I have places I have to be, so... if you ever decide you want to just chill out, or talk, you know where to find me...

Ramsley stares at Troy dully as he begins to walk off. The door can be heard opening, and then closing. Ramsley slowly leans back into his chair, and runs his hands through his hair. He closes his eyes, and looks up at the ceiling. The camera zooms onto his face. Suddenly, his eyes snap open.

Ramsley: ......T....Troy"?

Ramsley suddenly gets up, and storms out of the locker room. The camera focuses on the blue screen of the television, and then fades.

BACK IN THE RING, NATALYA AND ANIYA SKY ARE READY FOR ACTION. MELINA's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT, RECEIVING A MIXED RESPONSE AS SHE HEADS DOWN THE RAMP. BUT SHE GETS A BUILDING FULL OF CHEERS WHEN SHE DOES HER TRADEMARK "SPLITS" ON THE APRON.

J.R.: "We've got divas tag team action coming up here, King, but what the heck did we just see with Richard Ramsley"?

Lawler: "I don't know, but I don't think I even have time to talk about it. I have just been handed a prepared statement from our reigning Women's champion Monica, addressed directly to Natalya and she wants me to read it".

"HELP I'M ALIVE" BY METRIC PLAYS, BRINGING KAYLA KARTER OUT. SHE LOOKS VERY CONFIDENT AS SHE HEADS TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Well go ahead... read it".

Lawler: "It says, Natalya, you may be a second generation wrestler from the famed Hart family, but you should've done your research before you barked up my tree".

J.R.: "Interesting words there from our Women's champion who we will see later when Eddie Saint James takes on J.J. Ramplin, but what about Kayla Karter, she's really put her name on the TWF map in a big way".

Lawler: "And tonight she'll team with Melina, who ironically enough she took out with a vicious kick in her first TWF appearance".

J.R.: "Right, and judging by the look on Melina's face, that hasn't slipped her mind".

Natalya and Aniya Sky vs. Melina and Kayla Karter

Natalya asserted herself early, using her physical ability to put Melina down several times. After a snap suplex, she gave way to Aniya Sky who came in and picked up right where Natalya left off. After 2 hard forearms to Melina, Sky went for an irish whip but Melina reversed it and pulled Sky right into a falling neckbreaker. That allowed her to get over and make the tag to Kayla Karter who came in and took Sky down with consecutive clotheslines. She then scooped her up and slammed her to the mat before landing a big legdrop. Karter went for a cover, but Sky pushed her off at 2. Sky got up but Karter was waiting with a spin kick to the head. Melina slapped the shoulder of Carter to tag herself back in but when she pulled Sky up, she ate 2 hard right hands to the abdomen. Natalya got back into the match and picked Melina up, driving her into the mat. Natalya then dragged Melina to the corner and used her boot, pressing it against her throat. Referee Jack Doan got to a count of 4 before issuing Natalya a warning. Natalya pulled Melina up and landed 2 stiff right hands before throwing a discus clothesline but Melina ducked and hit the ropes, delivering a dropkick to the right knee, almost out of desperation. Melina then took out Aniya Sky with a cheap shot, knocking her to the floor. Doan had his back to the action as he tried to keep the match from getting out of hand. That's when Monica came out from the crowd and jumped up on the apron, holding the Women's title. An unsuspecting Natalya turned right into her and got dropped with a shot to the face from the title. Monica then left through the crowd as Melina made the tag to Karter. Natalya used the ropes to pull herself up before Karter put her right back down with the "Kay Kick". She then rolled her over, hooking the leg as Doan issued the 3 count.

Match Time: 8:07

J.R.: "Oh my gosh.... she may've just put a permanent blemish on the face of Natalya with that one"!

Lawler: "Who? Monica or Kayla"?!

"HELP I'M ALIVE" HIT AGAIN AS KARTER LEFT THE RING, CHOOSING NOT TO EVEN CELEBRATE WITH MELINA OR HAVE HER HAND RAISED.

J.R.: "Well that's a good point, King, Monica did a number on Natalya and it seems her prepared statement was a sign of an immediate warning".

Lawler: "And notice Kayla Karter..... she's already in the back".

J.R.: "A very business like approach so far from Kayla Karter. She said she's not here to make any friends and be your typical 'diva' and so far.... she's lived up to that. We'll be right back...........

6 Man Tag Team Match

Sheamus and The Hart Dynasty vs. Rob Van Dam, Carlito and Primo

Tyson Kidd and RVD started this match off with a great series. Kidd was able to match RVD's speed and kept up with him move for move. When RVD threw a jumping side kick, Kidd actually ducked and then put RVD down with a clothesline. After whipping Van Dam to the ropes, Kidd delivered a jumping back elbow that was a thing of beauty. From there, Kidd went to the top rope after making the tag to Harry Smith and he came off with a Blockbuster neckbreaker. But RVD moved out of the way of that and was able to avoid an oncoming clothesline from Smith. After drilling Smith with a roundhouse kick to the head, RVD made the tag to Carlito who used the ropes to spring into the ring with a flying crossbody, landing on Smith and going to the mat in a pinning combination to get the 1........2......., but Smith pushed him off. Carlito slapped the chest of the big member of the Hart Dynasty several times. Carlito went for an irish whip but Smith reversed it and then kicked Carlito right in the face with a big boot. With Carlito in plenty of pain, Smith dropped an elbow across his chest 3 times. From there, Smith pulled Carlito up and muscled him up to his shoulder with ease. But as he backed him to the corner, Primo was able to slap his brother's hand and referee Jose Mendez saw it. Primo then came into the ring and pulled Carlito off Smith's shoulder before taking Harry out with a dropkick. Primo then dropped Kidd with a right hand when he tried to get involved before exchanging some words with Sheamus. Primo turned his attention back to Smith but when he tried to pull him up, Smith drove a right hand into his abdomen. Smith then grabbed Primo by the back of the head and slammed him into one of the turnbuckle pads. Sheamus then tagged into the match and Primo was in a lot of trouble. Sheamus was way too much for the younger Colon, delivering a big gutwrench suplex after several hard shots to the back. After a pump kick seemingly knocked Primo out cold, Sheamus went for the cover but Carlito came in to break up the count. Sheamus exchanged shots with Carlito and Carlito was able to knock him into the corner with some left hands. Carlito then jumped into the corner but Sheamus caught him and dropped him throat first over the top rope. Tyson Kidd then made the exchange with the Celtic Warrior and went right back to the legal man, Primo. After some stiff knifedge chops, Kidd went for an irish whip but Primo reversed it and threw a dropkick. But he caught nothing but air when Kidd held onto the top rope to stop himself and Primo landed hard on his back. Kidd then went to pull Primo up, but from behind came Carlito, delivering the "Backstabber" to Kidd! Carlito then did his best to hold off Smith while Mendez kept Sheamus back and Primo rolled to his corner, slapping the extended hand of RVD. RVD went to the top rope and got some extreme elevation, slamming onto Kidd with the "5 Star Frogsplash" as Mendez got down to make the 3 count!

Match Time: 6:37

BACKSTAGE.......

TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH AXL IRVIN, WHO IS NOT IN WRESTLING GEAR. INSTEAD, HE HAS ON A PAIR OF BLUE JEANS AND A #1 CHICAGO BULLS JERSEY OF DERRICK ROSE.

Todd Grisham: "Axl, we found out earlier tonight that at War in the Winter, you will go one on one with Edge. This is a match you have to be looking forward to, especially considering the comments made earlier by Edge about the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase".

JUST THEN, AXL PUSHES GRISHAM ASIDE WHEN HE SEES EDGE APPROACHING WITH A SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE. BUT AXL JUST SNAPS, GOING RIGHT AT EDGE AND OVERWHELMING HIM WITH AN ATTACK. AFTER PUTTING EDGE ON THE FLOOR WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD, AXL IS STANDING OVER HIM.

Axl Irvin: "You have something that belongs to me...... at War in the Winter, you better have it with you".

AXL WALKS AWAY AND EDGE IS STILL DOWN, TRYING TO RECOVER.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE ROB STORM AND LANCE CADE HAVE COME OUT. THE CROWD IS ALL OVER THEM WITH BOOS.

Rob Storm: "I told you people..... I told you several times that I wasn't in this alone. That I wasn't in this war against the brass of this company by myself. Lance Cade, another grossly underused talent, is now part of the army. And that army is about to get even bigger. Lance and I have talked, and we have come up with another man who doesn't get the credit he deserves.... another man who could achieve so much more. Shelton Benjamin........ please accept this invitation to come out here".

Lawler: "They wanna add Shelton Benjamin to their army"!

"AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK IN HIS WRESTLING GEAR.

J.R.: "The army, as Rob Storm refers to it, but here comes Shelton! Is he gonna take them up on their offer".

Rob Storm: "Thank you for coming out, Shelton. Now I know you've heard my message, so there's no need to repeat myself. But Lance and I agree that you would be perfect for our army. Think about it.... when your career first got started, you were one of the most promising young superstars in the TWF. Yes, you've had Tag Team title reigns and King of Cable title reigns, but how many fans even remember that? You should've been a World champion by now. But let's just cut........

Shelton Benjamin: "Whoa.... hold up, Storm. I'm not gonna join your little army. I'm just not. But I know you guys have been complaining and whining about not having any action for awhile. So, I found a man who is as irritated with you as I have been, and we're..........

Rob Storm: "Wait a minute! So you're telling me that not only do you not want to be involved with Cade and I..... but now you want to face us"?

Shelton Benjamin: "That's what I'm........

CADE DROPS BENJAMIN WITH A RIGHT HAND AND HE AND STORM ARE ALL OVER HIM. BUT "TNT" BY AC/DC COMES ON AND CHRIS TIRPAK IS SHOWN IN THE CROWD, HEADING TO THE RING WITH A SINGAPORE CANE.

Lawler: "It looks like Tirpak is Shelton's partner"!

J.R.: "Well he better get down there quick, Benjamin is taking a beating"!

Rob Storm and Lance Cade vs. Shelton Benjamin and Chris Tirpak

Benjamin was taking a beating from both Storm and Cade who made several tags in and out. Benjamin did what he could to fight back, but he was put back down every time. Cade came in and delivered a running bulldog but he only got a 2 count when he went for a cover. Cade got Shelton up and hit the ropes, looking for a running lariat, but Shelton ducked and then connected with a flying calf kick. Both men were down but Cade was able to fall much closer to his corner. A tag was made to Storm who came in and prevented Shelton from making the tag. After a big suplex, who started to choke Shelton with both hands, drawing a warning from referee Jim Korderas. But Cade asked Korderas to come to the corner, allowing Storm to choke Benjamin again. Storm got up and went to hit the ropes but Tirpak was on the floor holding his Singapore cane and he smacked Storm in the back of the head with it. Shelton was able to get up and deliver his T-Bone suplex to put Storm down for the count.

Match Time: 5:18

J.R.: "Shelton got him! What a T-Bone suplex from Benjamin"!

Lawler: "I can't believe this! Storm and Cade gave Shelton a chance to put his name on the TWF map again and he and this idiot Chris Tirpak decide to use it to their advantage! Not to mention they cheated"!

TIRPAK WENT BACK THROUGH THE CROWD AND SHELTON WENT UP THE RAMP SLAPPING HANDS WITH FANS AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED.

J.R.: "Well maybe they should stop their whining then! Maybe they should stop complaining! You can see where it's gotten them".

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED COMES ON AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES COMES OUT WITH MONICA. THE SAINT HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST. THE PAIR IS MET BY BOOS FROM NEARLY EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE.

J.R.: "We are back live on the USA network and we are ready for a grudge match of sorts between two men who just plain don't like each other".

Lawler: "And I don't know why, because I think if they could combine their skills, they'd be a true force, but Ramplin wanted nothing to do with The Saint".

J.R.: "We've seen Ramplin defeat Saint James' partner The Boogeyman recently, can he get by The Saint"?

Lawler: "And don't forget about Monica out there.... she's already made her presence felt tonight".

"WANTED MAN" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND J.J. RAMPLIN COMES OUT TO A VERY GOOD CHEER.

J.R.: "I've said it before, but J.J. Ramplin is as talented as anyone on the Rampage roster and one on one, I like his chances against almost anyone".

Lawler: "But look at The Saint.... he is ready for this one. He's yelling for Ramplin to get into the ring"!

RIGHT AS RAMPLIN SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE TO ENTER THE RING, SAINT JAMES PUTS THE BOOTS TO HIM.

Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin

The Saint stomped on Ramplin numerous times before using his boot to push him out of the ring. As referee Chad Patton forced him away from the ropes, Monica came around the ring and kicked The Ram right in the ribs. Ramplin slowly pulled himself up and back into the ring, but the quick start had put The Saint in a great position to win. After a stiff running clothesline, The Saint got Ramplin up for a very nice vertical suplex. He went for the cover, but could only manage a 2 count. The Saint got him up again and pushed him to the corner, pounding him with right hands. He then tried to whip him to the corner across the ring and Ramplin reversed it, using a big back bodydrop when he came off. Ramplin then delivered a big legdrop before pulling The Saint up but The Saint snuck in a quick jab to the esophagus area. After a running kick to the side of the head, The Saint tried to get Ramplin up on his shoulders. Ramplin drove the point of his elbow into the temple of Saint James to get some seperation. He then hit the ropes, driving through The Saint with the Ram's Horns. Monica couldn't believe what she was seeing as Ramplin pulled The Saint in and picked him up, driving him into the mat with the "Dead Weight". Ramplin went into the cover and got the 1.............2.............3!

Match Time: 4:03

J.R.: "Oh what a powerbomb! The Ram is victorious over The Saint"!

Lawler: "He got the best of him on this night, J.R., but this doesn't seem like it's over.... not even close"!

J.R.: "Well wait a minute, The Saint has a microphone".

RAMPLIN WAS HALFWAY UP THE RAMP, CELEBRATING HIS VICTORY BUT HIS MUSIC STOPPED PLAYING WHEN THE SAINT STARTED TALKING.

Eddie Saint James: "Wait a minute....... wait a minute, Ram! I'm not gonna take that. You might've gotten lucky tonight, but I got a proposition for ya. Ya see, The Boogeyman and I have held the Rampage Tag Team titles for over a year now..... and counting! So I'm gonna allow you the oppurtunity to find any partner that you would like and meet us at War in the Winter...... what do ya say..... Ram"?

RAMPLIN NODS HIS HEAD "YES" AS THE FANS CHEER. "WANTED MAN" KICKS UP AGAIN AS THE SAINT AND MONICA STAND IN THE RING, LOOKING BACK.

J.R.: "Wow..... what an oppurtunity for Ramplin.... he can pick anybody! I wonder what The Saint's partner thinks about this though".

Lawler: "Oh that idiot? I think he just does whatever he's told".

J.R.: "The search for a partner begins for Ramplin. If you ask me, The Saint has made a mistake here in the heat of the moment"!

J.R. AND THE KING RUN DOWN THE FULL CARD FOR WAR IN THE WINTER.

"VOICES" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND CODY RHODES COMES OUT ALONG WITH RANDY ORTON TO PLENTY OF HEAT.

J.R.: "It is now time for tonight's main event and here comes the man who is single handedly responsible for Jason Oliver no longer being the TWF World champion".

Lawler: "And we found out tonight about that blockbuster tag team match for War in the Winter which will be a must win for Jason Oliver and Ted Dibiase"!

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN HITS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT ALONG WITH TED DIBIASE. OLIVER LOOKS FIRED UP AND READY TO GO.

J.R.: "It is no doubt a must win, but if I was Cody Rhodes, I don't know if I would want to be in the same ring as Oliver here tonight"!

Lawler: "Well we found out why Rhodes did what he did. He didn't see himself becoming anything in GeNext which for all intents and purposes, no longer exists"!

Cody Rhodes w/ Randy Orton vs. Jason Oliver w/ Ted Dibiase

As the bell sounded, Randy Orton came into the view of Jason Oliver and held up the World title belt, trash talking. This took Oliver's focus off of Rhodes who came from behind with a forearm to the back of the head. Rhodes got the quick start and he was all over the former champion like a wild animal. After several kicks and stomps, Rhodes pulled Oliver up and had him set for the "Crossroads", but Oliver came up with a perfect escape, turning and picking the ring leg of Rhodes before lofting him over his head. Rhodes was slow to get to his feet and he turned right into a kick to the gut followed by the "Claymore" from Oliver. Oliver covered Rhodes right when he fell to the mat, hooking the leg for the quick victory.

Match Time: 2:21

Lawler: "Wow....... I'd say Oliver wanted that one"!

ORTON PULLS RHODES OUT OF THE RING AND THE TWO QUICKLY RETREAT WHILE "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" PLAYS AGAIN AND OLIVER AND DIBIASE STAND IN THE RING.

J.R.: "Well if we see that at War in the Winter, Oliver will get a rematch with Orton, one that many feel he probably deserves anyway"!

Lawler: "Think Cody Rhodes is second guessing his decision"?

J.R.: "After taking a beating like that.... I would be"!
