The stars of Rampage came to Philadelphia, one of the traditionally great areas in the entire nation for wrestling. It was a very mixed crowd as well, as a group of young male fans were sporting the brand new Empire t-shirts. Not far from them, a man held up a well designed sign with the phrase "Bring Back Ogden". The night started off with 3 matches on Uprising.

Rob Storm vs. Marcus Gray (invitee)

As Storm tried to get the booing crowd to rise for the playing of the Canadian National Anthem, the young Gray attacked him from behind, getting off to a great start. But the match turned completely when Storm reversed an irish whip and caught Gray with a textbook dropkick right on the kisser. Storm then began to toy with Gray and he locked him in the Toronto Maple Leaf. Just as Gray was about to tap out, Storm released the hold. He then slapped the kid around some more before putting him away with the "Great White North".

Ezekiel Jackson vs. Derek Thom Vineyard (invitee)

Vineyard was an unorthodox looking competitor, coming to the ring in some sort of robe and mask. Jackson jumped right on him from the outset and was all over Vineyard. After pounding him around the ring, Jackson grabbed Vineyard, who is no small man, and got him up with ease for a pumphandle powerslam. That led to the "Book of Ezekiel" and it was mercifully over.

Christian vs. Mike Knox

This was a very competitive match and a good way to close Uprising. Knox was in control early after smashing Christian with a flying cross body. Knox slowed the pace of the match way down but after whipping him into the corner, Christian stuck a foot into his face. He then went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a back elbow that found the mark. Christian tried to set Knox up for the "Killswitch" but Knox felt it coming and shook free. He threw a clothesline that missed and Christian connected with a dropkick. He then went to the top rope and flew off with a missile dropkick but Knox got out of the way. He then quickly went over to Christian and grabbed him, slamming him into the mat with his Sidewinder slam and got a surprising victory.

RAMPAGE GOES LIVE

FOLLOWING THE BRAND NEW OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO, PYRO POPS OFF INSIDE THE WELLS FARGO CENTER AND THE FANS ARE GOING COMPLETELY WILD.

Jim Ross: "Welcome to Philadelphia for another edition of TWF Rampage and King..... tonight's show will be a post 2010 TWF draft edition"!

Jerry Lawler: "We've got so much action tonight.... I don't even know where to start! Sheamus will take on J.J. Ramplin and we've got a steel cage hanging above the ring"!

"THE FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK HEADS OUT TO THE RING, RECEIVING A VERY MIXED REACTION.

J.R.: "Chris Tirpak and Troy Gafgen will be inside that mass of steel later tonight, but what better way to kick things off tonight than with one of Rampage's draft picks"?!

Lawler: "And one of the most surprising ones at that..... how crazy was it to see CM Punk come over to Rampage, right after his former tag team partner Colt Cabana lost the match that decided that pick"?!

J.R.: "Oh the irony of the draft..... happens every year, King".

CM Punk: "Thank you for that response..... it's good to know that some people out there recognize talent when they see it!

THE PORTION OF THE CROWD NOT IN FAVOR OF PUNK BOOS.

So now that I'm on Rampage, I plan to make some things very clear. First, I liked teaming with my old friend Colt Cabana, but to be honest with you guys, I have no interest in being a tag team wrestler..... I have no interest in having and help or being friends with anyone! Starting tonight.... right here on Rampage....... I will show the world that I am the best wrestler in the world today! Now bring out the unfortunate chump that agreed to face me tonight"!

PUNK DROPS HIS MICROPHONE AS "BOOM, BOOM, POW" BY THE BLACK EYED PEAS PLAYS AND DUKE AXE COMES OUT TO A MILD RESPONSE.

J.R.: "Duke Axe draws the first chance to face CM Punk here on Rampage and this is a kid who has shown flashes of some very good things, King".

Lawler: "Well after the proclamation Punk just made..... he better not let this kid last more than a few minutes in there"!

CM Punk vs. Duke "Diamond Spider" Axe

As the match started, the two men circled each other, both loading up their right feet. But Punk instead lunged forward with a huge right forearm, catching Axe flush in the mouth. He then backed him into the corner and whipped him with kicks to the body before smashing his chest with a knifedge chop. He then whipped Axe to the far corner and ran in, clotheslining Axe. He then pulled him into a short clothesline before going to the apron. When Axe got up, Punk went to the ring ropes and flew in with a clothesline but Axe moved out of the way. Punk landed on his feet but when he turned around, Axe was waiting with a jumping enziguri which he followed with a standing moonsault. Axe went into a cover and got a 2 count before Punk pushed him off. Both men got to their feet and Axe kicked Punk in the midsection and shot him to the ropes. Punk ducked a clothesline and stopped his momentum, getting Axe to his shoulders. Seeing the "GTS" coming, Axe slipped free before Punk could hit the move and dropkicked him in the back, knocking him into the corner. Axe then went for a flying body splash but Punk moved out of the way. Punk then crushed Axe with a flying clothesline before grabbing him for a bulldog. But as he ran out of the corner with his arms wrapped around his head and neck, Axe somehow countered into a backdrop suplex. Axe pulled Punk up, looking to hit a suplex but Punk countered and took Axe down, looking for the Anaconda Vise. Axe sensed it coming and struggled to get free. Punk finally got up and kicked him square in the head before using both hands to pull him up by his head. But as he did, Axe countered into a small package and stole a 3 count, leaving Punk in shock.

Match Time: 8:24

Lawler: "What?! No way...............

J.R.: "Well that certainly wasn't the way CM Punk saw his Rampage career starting! Unbelievable"!

DUKE AXE WENT UP THE RAMP, ACCEPTING THE CONGRATULATIONS FROM MANY FANS AS "BOOM, BOOM, POW" PLAYED AGAIN. IN THE RING, PUNK LOOKED VERY AGITATED.

Lawler: "Not at all....... CM Punk has been defeated by Duke Axe"!

J.R.: "We say it all the time, anything can happen in the TWF, and I have a feeling tonight is gonna be one of those nights"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR WRIGLEY 5 GUM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR GEICO INSURANCE.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, DREW McINTYRE IS SHOWN IN THE OFFICE OF THE EMPIRE, STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH MONEY MIKE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN. HE SHAKES HANDS WITH EACH OF THEM.

Travis Wakeman: "Welcome to Rampage.... we are very interested in what you'll be able to do on this show".

Drew McIntyre: "I'm happy to be here".

Money Mike: "Well, even though it's your first night on Rampage, we're ready to give you a big opportunity. Tonight, you will team with Jason Oliver to face Matt Cruz...... and a yet to be named partner".

Drew McIntyre (smiling): "I'll make the most of it".

Monica vs. Aniya Sky

Looking for a big chance to move up the ranks, Aniya Sky got out to a quick start against the former Women's champion. After a nice hip toss slam, Sky connected with a dropkick before putting Monica down with a suplex. After running the ropes, she performed a cartwheel and went for an elbow drop but Monica moved. Monica got up and kicked Aniya right in the ribs before grabbing her with both hands and slamming her face first into the mat. Monica was just beating Aniya at this point, choking her and even yanking a few strands of her hair out. But this lit a fire inside Sky and she belted Monica with some big punches before a kick to the stomach. Aniya then grabbed Monica and connected with a neckbreaker drop. She went for the cover but Monica got a shoulder up after a 2 count. She pulled her to her feet and went for an irish whip but Monica reversed it. Sky came off the ropes and kicked Monica in the face when she dropped her head a little soon. Sky then ran in but Monica countered by dropping to one knee and punching Aniya right in the midsection. That led to a nasty DDT and Monica rolled Sky over into a pin to get the victory.

Match Time: 5:11

J.R.: "Another one in the win column for the very hard to figure out diva, Monica, but you have to feel she's right in line for a shot at what used to be hers".

Lawler: "What's hard to figure out? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love all the divas, but Monica is by far the most unique"!

"THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE PLAYED AS MONICA WALKED UP THE RAMP TOWARDS THE BACK, SHOWING LITTLE EMOTION.

J.R.: "Gina Carana is the only one who's been able to defeat her.... and Alba Rios is at least partly responsible for that".

Lawler: "Monica seems to have something on her mind, J.R., and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of her bad thoughts".

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

CAMERAS SHOW RANDY ORTON MAKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN HE BUMPS INTO ONE OF RAMPAGE's NEWEST STARS VIA THE 2010 TWF DRAFT, KAVAL.

Kaval: "Oh... sorry man.... I....

Randy Orton: "You need to watch where you're goin', the kitchen is on the other side of the arena".

Kaval: "Pshh, I don't work in the kitchen"!

Randy Orton: "Oh, that's right, you're that new guy, Karim or whatever".

Kaval: "The name is Kaval..... and it's one that will be known in every household that follows this business. Now, if you don't mind".

KAVAL PUSHES ORTON ASIDE AND WALKS AWAY. ORTON SEEMS READY TO LAUGH.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, CRIS HENNING AND DEVON WADE ARE SHOWN INSIDE THE RING. HENNING IS GETTING LOOSE AND LISTENING TO WORDS FROM WADE WHEN THE MUSIC OF THE HART DYNASTY HITS. TYSON KIDD, HARRY SMITH AND NATALYA COME OUT TO A GOOD REACTION.

J.R.: "Back to the ring for a one on one encounter here between members of two of Rampage's top tag teams, but what do you make of Kaval, King"?

Lawler: "You mean Karim? (laughs) No seriously, I've seen what the young kid is capable of and while I don't know about the household name thing, he's definitely a very talented young superstar".

J.R.: "Kaval will take part in a six man tag team match later tonight but right now, it's Cris Henning one on one with Tyson Kidd".

Cris Henning w/ Devon Wade vs. Tyson Kidd w/ Harry Smith and Natalya

As the bell sounded, Kidd and Henning locked up in a collar and elbow tie. Kidd tried to maneuver into a top wrist lock but Henning, the stronger of the two men, pushed Kidd into one of the corners. He then drove his shoulder into his midsection twice before whipping him to the ring ropes. Kidd came off the ropes and slid through Henning's legs before popping up and catching him with a spin kick right on the jaw. Henning sat up, only to be smacked across the chest with another kick. Kidd went to the middle turnbuckle and jumped off when Henning got to his feet but Henning caught him in mid air and slammed him into the mat with a spinebuster. Henning made the cover, but Kidd kicked out at 2. This move allowed Henning to get the advantage and slow the pace down. Keeping Kidd grounded, Henning wore him down with a reverse chin lock and a grounded bear hug, trying to suck all of the oxygen out of the Hart Dungeon graduate. Kidd began to get some adrenaline flowing, getting to his feet. Henning, still holding him from behind, tried to pick Kidd up but Kidd countered into a forward roll, hooking both legs for a 1......2......., but Henning got free. Henning ran at Kidd with a clothesline but Kidd ducked and came back with a dropkick to the right knee. After grabbing Henning by the head and neck, Kidd ran the ring ropes and delivered a pretty tornado DDT. Kidd then ran the ropes again but Wade stuck his hand in, trying to trip him up. Harry Smith ran around the ring and began trading shots with Wade as the crowd loudly cheered. In the ring, Henning came from behind with a hard shot to the back of the head of Kidd, knocking him into the corner. But on the far side of the ring, Natalya was on the apron, seemingly encouraging Henning to come her way. Licking his lips, Henning began to do just that. He grabbed Natalya with both hands but Kidd came from behind and spun Henning around, cracking him with a superkick that sent an echo through the arena. From there, Kidd went to the apron and used the ring ropes to spring high into the air, coming down on Henning with a terrific elbow drop. He covered him and hooked the leg, getting the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:06

J.R.: "Tyson Kidd has pulled it off! I'm not sure what Cris Henning had in store for Natalya, but it sure backfired"!

Lawler: "Did you see the height Kidd got?! It looked like he came down from the rafters"!

THE HART DYNASTY's MUSIC PLAYED AND THE TRIO CELEBRATED THE WIN AS WADE GOT INTO THE RING TO HELP HENNING TO HIS FEET. THE CROWD LIKED WHAT THEY SAW.

J.R.: "I wouldn't mind seeing more action between these two teams..... this battle goes to the Hart Dynasty"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR SNICKERS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR ANARCHY RULZ FEATURING JORDAN ROCKWELL VS. CARNEY.

RETURN FROM BREAK......

J.R.: "Welcome back live here to Rampage and during the break, we had some fireworks out here, King"!

Lawler: "Well yeah, Wade Barrett came out here and tried to address this crowd, telling them.... well let's just roll the footage".

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF WHAT TOOK PLACE DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK, PICKING UP TOWARDS THE TAIL END OF WADE BARRETT's SPEECH.

Wade Barrett: ...... "The Empire said they are looking for someone to step up and take charge here on Rampage, and they've found their man! So like I said.... and I want all the superstars in the back to take note..... you are looking at the man who will......

JUST THEN, BARRETT IS INTERRUPTED BY THE ROARS OF THE CROWD, REACTING TO ROB VAN DAM COMING OUT AND GOING TO THE TOP ROPE, NAILING BARRETT WITH A FLYING KICK TO THE CHEST. BARRETT ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AND SLAPPED THE RING APRON AS THE CROWD CHEERED.

Lawler: "It doesn't look like RVD agreed with what Barrett was saying"!

J.R.: "RVD is a long time veteran of this industry and obviously didn't like Barrett, a newcomer here to the TWF, coming out here and basically calling himself the future of this company".

BACKSTAGE........

MONEY MIKE AND STEPHANIE McMAHON ARE IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE WHAT OF THE ARENA SUITES, SHARING A MOMENT ON A LEATHER COUCH WHEN MATT CRUZ BARGES IN.

Money Mike: "Ever heard of knocking"?

Matt Cruz: "I just got here, expecting to have the night off to be ready for Oliver at Anarchy Rulz, and now I find out that I'm facing him and Drew McIntyre tonight. So, who is my tag team partner"?

Money Mike: "You didn't answer my question..... about knocking first. Ya know, Cruz, you're really walking a thin like around here with us".

Matt Cruz: "Is that right? Do the other Empire members knock first, or are they standing in line somewhere waiting to get on that couch with Stephanie"?

Stephanie McMahon: "You shut your mouth! You wanna know who your tag team partner is tonight....... it's Maria! Now get the hell out of here"!

CRUZ STANDS LOOKING AT THE PAIR WITH SHEER ANGER BEFORE TURNING AND LEAVING. MONEY MIKE JUST LAUGHS.

6 Man Tag Team Match

Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler and Sylvester Terkay vs. Axl Irvin, Yoshi Tatsu and Kaval

Axl Irvin was on the opposite side of the 3 men who have the chance to challenge him for the King of Cable title at Anarchy Rulz. Questions arose early of whether those 3 men could work together or not. Early on, that proved to be the case as the 3 men argued amongst each other. But when Swagger turned Yoshi Tatsu inside out with a clothesline, the match turned in their favor. Swagger put the boots to Tatsu and pounded him on the mat before picking him up for a huge gutwrench suplex. Ziggler tagged into the match and went to the turnbuckle, flying off with a clothesline that cut Yoshi down. He then turned and taunted Axl, who could only stand and watch as the beating on Yoshi continued. Off an irish whip, Ziggler caught Yoshi with a huge powerslam and went into a cover, but Tatsu showed his heart by kicking out at 2. Ziggler made the tag to Terkay who came into the ring and threw Yoshi into the corner before pummeling him with shots to the head and body. After a belly to belly suplex, Terkay went for the cover but again, Yoshi was out at 2. Swagger slapped the back of the Manbear to tag himself in and he picked Yoshi up and slammed him in the corner. He then ran across the ring and used the ropes in the corner to sling into the air, looking to come down on Yoshi with a splash. But Tatsu got his knees up right into his stomach and that allowed him to get up and make the tag to Irvin. Irvin came in with a flying shoulder tackle on Swagger before turning and knocking both Ziggler and Terkay off the apron with right hands. But when he turned around, Swagger was up and caught him with a kick to the face. He then hit his running Swagger splash on the King of Cable champion before making the tag to Terkay. Swagger pulled Axl to his feet and went to the corner as Terkay measured him for a kick to the head. But when Al ducked, the kick caught Ziggler right in the side of the head. Ziggler had just recovered from the shot Irvin caught him with. Axl hit the ropes and extended his hand to tag in Kaval but after he came off the ropes, Terkay caught him and delivered a perfect spinebuster. However, Ziggler got into the ring and hit the "ZigZag" on Terkay! Kaval then went to the top rope and flew off with a double foot stomp to the chest before covering Terkay for the 1............2.............3!

Match Time: 7:25

AS ZIGGLER WALKED UP THE RAMP, SWAGGER SHOOK HIS HEAD AND HELD OUT HIS HANDS AS IF TO ASK ZIGGLER "WHY"? IN THE RING, AXL IRVIN, YOSHI TATSU AND KAVAL CELEBRATED THE WIN.

J.R.: "One of those men will be voted to face Axl Irvin at Anarchy Rulz and after this win here, Axl Irvin will be heading into that match with confidence"!

Lawler: "Axl won't have any tag team partners in that one though, J.R... it will be one on one"!

J.R.: "Wait a minute, what's Swagger doin'"?

AFTER AXL, YOSHI AND KAVAL LEFT THE RING, SWAGGER CAME BACK IN AND GRABBED TERKAY, DELIVERING THE "SWAGGER BOMB"!

Lawler: "Sylvester Terkay may not be in any condition to compete at Anarchy Rulz if this keeps up"!

J.R.: "Yeah it takes a big man to do that when the guy is already down, Swagger..... but you can bet Axl Irvin is gonna be ready.... regardless of which one of these guys he faces"!

BACKSTAGE......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW STEPHANIE McMAHON YELLING AT MEMBERS OF ARENA SECURITY.

Stephanie McMahon: "Like I said, that room is for Mike and I only..... no one else gets within five feet of it again tonight, got it"?!

JUST THEN, MONICA WALKS UP.

Stephanie: "What the hell do you want"?

Monica: "Oh don't worry, I won't get within five thousand feet of that room...... but I will say this. The BoogeySaints and I are tired of the disrespect and failed recognition we have gotten here in the TWF. So you and The Empire are all about demands...... The BoogeySaints will be making a demand of their own at Anarchy Rulz".

MONICA WALKS AWAY

Stephanie (to herself): "We'll see about that.........

"TOO MANY LIES" PLAYS AND OUT COMES SHEAMUS FROM THE BACK TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "You have to wonder what The BoogeySaints have in mind there".

Lawler: "Yeah and for Monica to get up in Stephanie's face like that...... I don't how good of an idea that was".

J.R.: "Well here comes Sheamus who is set to take on J.J. Ramplin in what should be a very good match".

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

Lawler: "J.J. Ramplin has always been right there.... right on the cusp of greatness.... he just can't seem to get over the hump".

J.R.: "A win here over the Celtic Warrior would go a long way to change that though".

Sheamus vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin

Ramplin and Sheamus met in the middle of the ring, trading shots as the bell sounded. Ramplin began to get the best of it and went for an irish whip, which Sheamus reversed. Sheamus threw a clothesline but Ramplin ducked before stopping his momentum and grabbing Sheamus from behind. Ramplin was looking for a german suplex but Sheamus blocked it by trying to separate his hands. Sheamus then landed a back elbow to the jaw before turning and smashing Ramplin with a double sledge to the chest. Sheamus followed up with several stomps to the head and body. After pulling The Ram up, Sheamus tossed him into the corner before following in with a heavy clothesline. After Ramplin fell to a seated position in the corner, Sheamus used the sole of his boot, pressing it against the esophagus of Ramplin. He then got him up again and called for the "High Cross". But Ramplin sensed it and was able to counter, lifting Sheamus over his head and driving him into the mat with an Alabama Slam. This brought Ramplin back into the match and after consecutive clotheslines, he got Sheamus up for a big suplex. Ramplin then went to the other side of the ring, waiting for Sheamus to get his feet. He got up to see Ramplin charging in, going for the Ram's Horns. Sheamus got out of the way and Ramplin slammed into the corner. Sheamus then went for the Brogue Kick but Ramplin moved out of the way. He then jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, smashing Sheamus with one right hand after another as the crowd counted each landed blow. But Sheamus dropped Ramplin onto the mat with a powerbomb before stacking him up in the corner and then putting both feet on the ropes as referee Chad Patton made the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:53

Lawler: "Sheamus got him! It's over"!

J.R.: "He had his feet on the ropes..... didn't the ref see that"?!

SHEAMUS ESCAPED WITH THE WIN AS RAMPLIN STOOD AND EXPLAINED TO PATTON THAT THE FEET WERE ON THE ROPES. PATTON POINTED TO HIS EYES AS IF TO SAY "I DIDN'T SEE IT". FRUSTRATED, RAMPLIN KNOCKED PATTON DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND AND STOMPED AROUND THE RING IN ANGER.

J.R.: "Oh boy.... he'll draw a fine for that".

Lawler: "Ramplin has lost it here..... he's throwing a tantrum"!

J.R.: "Well, he just got screwed out of a really big match...... you've acted like that when someone has turned you down for a date"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR PEDIGREE DOG FOOD IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR RED BULL.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "RUN TO THE HILLS" BY IRON MAIDEN IS PLAYING AND TROY GAFGEN IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING, WHICH HAS BEEN SURROUNDED BY A STEEL CAGE.

J.R.: "We are back live here on the USA network where tons of solid steel have been erected around the ring"!

Lawler: "A steel cage match between Troy Gafgen and Chris Tirpak..... this is gonna be a fight".

"FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" BY METALLICA COMES ON AND THE FANS WILDLY CHEER BEFORE CHRIS TIRPAK APPEARS IN THE EAST SIDE OF THE STANDS. AS A SPOTLIGHT FOLLOWS HIM, HE MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD AND TO THE RING, CARRYING HIS KENDO STICK.

J.R.: "And ya gotta wonder if Tirpak might just take that kendo stick in the cage with him..... it's all legal"!

Lawler: "I'm wondering how far away Richard Ramsley is..... you would almost expect him to be involved here in some way"!

J.R.: "Once that cage door closes.... which it just did..... it's all Tirpak and it's Gafgen......

Steel Cage Match

Chris Tirpak vs. Troy Gafgen

Tirpak took his eyes off Gafgen for a brief moment and Gafgen jumped on him from behind, smashing him with shots to the back of the head before dropping him with a clothesline to the back of the head. Gafgen then got him up and tried to ram him into the cage but Tirpak blocked that and after an elbow to the gut, he threw Gafgen into the cage wall. Tirpak then opened up, rocking him with a succession of right hands before getting him up for a suplex and just dropping him in between the ring ropes and the cage. From there, Tirpak took a running start and flew into the air with a dropkick, drilling Gafgen. Tirpak decided to go for the cage door, asking the referee on the outside of the ring, Scott Martin, to open it. The door was open but with Tirpak about halfway out, Gafgen came running from behind and tackled Tirpak to the mat. He then got the upperhand and smashed him with some blows to the head before getting him up and delivering a running kick to the face. Gafgen decided to try and put him away and he pulled him in for a powerbomb. Tirpak countered with a backdrop and then picked him up, launching him into the cage once again. Using the ring ropes, Tirpak choked Gafgen with the top rope before again just flinging him into the cage. Gafgen was in trouble and Tirpak got him in position for the "Lights Out". An eye eye gouge freed Gafgen but he missed with a subsequent clothesline and Tirpak came back with a perfect Impaler DDT. With Gafgen down, Tirpak wasted no time heading for the cage and climbing it with ease. Gafgen slowly began to get up, but only in time to see Tirpak get himself over the inside of the cage and climb down the rest of the way.

Match Time: 6:29

RIGHT AFTER TIRPAK HIT THE FLOOR, "FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" PLAYED AGAIN.

J.R.: "A huge win for Chris Tirpak.... he has survived the cage match with Gafgen"!

Lawler: "And more importantly, by sustaining little to no damage"!

J.R.: "It won't be that easy at Anarchy Rulz when he faces Richard Ramsley in what Ramsley has already promised to be one of the most brutal matches in TWF history.... regardless of what the fans vote for"!

BACKSTAGE......

TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND MONEY MIKE ARE SHOWN TALKING IN THE BACK WHEN AN IRATE J.J. RAMPLIN COMES UP, INTERRUPTING THEM.

J.J. Ramplin: "Did you two see that crap?! Did you see Sheamus get credit for a win he didn't deserve?! I'm tired of it........

Money Mike: "Whoa, whoa, whoa.... you need to calm down"!

J.J. Ramplin: "I punched out that referee..... what's that mean, you're gonna fine me?! I swear to God if you fine me............

Money Mike: "You'll what?! You'll what, Ramplin"?!

Travis Wakeman: "Whoa, let's allow cooler heads to prevail here. Ramplin..... I may have a way to appease you.... but I'll have to ask for your patience in seeing it come to reality".

RAMPLIN JUST GIVES WAKEMAN A LONG LOOK BEFORE WALKING AWAY.

"BROKEN DREAMS" COMES ON WHEN THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND DREW McINTYRE IS OUT TO A BUNCH OF BOOS.

J.R.: "Hard to blame J.J. Ramplin for his strong feelings there, but I don't want to see his temper cost him here......

Lawler: "That won't get him anywhere with The Empire, J.R., and that goes for everyone".

J.R.: "We saw Matt Cruz get the short end of the stick tonight as he will actually have to team with Maria.... yes you heard that right, Maria, against this man and Jason Oliver, who he will defend the TWF World title against at Anarchy Rulz".

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN PLAYS NEXT AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT WEARING HIS "CANADIAN MUSTANG" T-SHIRT.

Lawler: "I don't like the chances here for Matt Cruz.... especially when he's going into Anarchy Rulz for one of the biggest matches of his career"!

J.R.: "It's clear what the M.O. will be for McIntyre and Oliver.... and Lord only knows what will happen if they get their hands on Maria".

"THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYS AND THE CROWD ERUPTS INTO CHEER WHEN MATT CRUZ AND MARIA COME OUT. MARIA LOOKS A COMBINATION OF NERVOUS AND TERRIFIED. CRUZ STANDS IN FRONT OF HER AS THEY CAUTIOUSLY WALK TO THE RING.

Lawler: "Maria is being very tentative here and who can blame her"?

J.R.: "Oliver and McIntyre look like a couple sharks smelling blood..... of course she's nervous"!

BEFORE THE MATCH CAN GET UNDERWAY, SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT THROUGH THE CROWD AND INTO THE RING. McINTYRE TURNS IN TIME TO SEE HIM BUT CAIN BEATS HIM TO THE PUNCH. CAIN IS ALL OVER HIM WHEN OLIVER TRIES TO HELP, BUT CRUZ JOINS IN.

Lawler: "What the heck is this"?!

J.R.: "Sebastian Cain is out here and he's all over McIntyre"!

AS CRUZ AND OLIVER BRAWLED IN THE RING, CAIN GOT A CHAIR AND SMASHED McINTYRE ACROSS THE BACK WITH IT OUTSIDE THE RING. HE THEN GOT INTO THE RING WITH THE CHAIR AND SEEING THIS, OLIVER QUICKLY GOT OUT.

Lawler: "Sebastian Cain has completely sabotaged the main event"!

J.R.: "You've got to wonder how The Empire will react to this..... but Cain has made a huge statement coming out here"!

PRIOR TO GOING OFF AIR......

The camera cuts to the back to show one of CM Punk. The crowd begins to boo.

Voice: "Ahem....

Punk looks up, and immediately straightens up, as Richard Ramsley walks into the shot, causing the crowd to boo even louder.

CM Punk: "You have trouble reading, Ramsley? Because I'm pretty sure it's MY name on that door".

Ramsley looks down, smirks, and chuckles before looking Punk square in the eyes.

Richard Ramsley: "Very funny. Listen, Punk... I saw what you did to Cabana on your way out of Primetime. I liked it... you understand what it takes to get ahead. You and me, we're not that different. We're both from Chicago. We're both two of the best, and brightest wrestlers this company has ever seen. nd more importantly... both of us have been denied the opportunities that other, less deserving miscreants have received. I say we remedy that. I don't know how much attention you paid to Rampage while you were over on Primetime, but I've been getting a.... group together. Things are going to be changing, Punk, and I'm offering you the chance to...

CM Punk: "Let me stop you right there. We are NOTHING alike. Yeah, we're both from Chicago, but it's obvious that I'm the only one who deserves to claim that. You let all of your problems beat you down, Ramsley. You sacrificed whatever values you might have had, and changed yourself to cope. I would never let society dictate my actions. I, unlike you, hold true to my values. I stayed strong, and I persevered through the challenges. And you want to talk about talent? You're not even in my league. Plain and simple fact of the matter is.... I'm better than you, Ramsley, and I'm better than your little group you've got going on. So I suggest you save that offer of yours for someone who actually gives a damn".

Richard Ramsley: "Really? Cause I could swear you were defeated tonight by someone..... someone who I would smash".

Punk then abruptly walks past Ramsley and exits the room, slamming the door behind him. Ramsley, just rubs his chin, and shakes his head as the camera fades to black.

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