Ezekiel Jackson vs. Primo

Outmatched decisively in size and strength, Primo tried to stick and move against Jackson. After connecting with 2 dropkicks that didn't take him down, he hit the ropes only to be smashed with a clothesline. Jackson threw Primo all over the ring and kept him within a close proximity to limit his speed. Just 4 minutes after the opening bell sounded, Jackson connected with the "Book of Ezekiel" to win it.

Jack Swagger vs. Duke "Diamond Spider" Axe

Trying to add another huge victory to his list, Axe didn't back down from the All American Swagger one inch. After catching Swagger with a flying leg lariat, he went to the top rope and hit a successful flying crossbody. Swagger was able to kick out before a 3 count and after thwarting a tornado DDT attempt, Swagger picked Axe's right leg and delivered a crushin german suplex. Swagger took control and quickly put the "Diamond Spider" away with his gutwrench into a powerbomb.

Yoshi Tatsu vs. Ted Dibiase

The ring entrances may have taken longer than this match did. A cocky, arrogant Dibiase didn't seem to take Yoshi very seriously. Dibiase piefaced the young superstar and then slapped him across the face. But Yoshi stood right back up to him and then ducked a clothesline before blasting him with a roundhouse kick to the head. Dibiase fell to the mat and Tatsu covered him, hooking a leg to get a win in just over 2 minutes. This has to be considered one of the biggest upsets of 2010.

YOSHI CELEBRATED WITH THE FANS BEFORE RAMPAGE WENT LIVE ON USA.........

RAMPAGE GOES LIVE

PYRO POPS OFF EVERYWHERE AS THE SOUNDS OF THOUSANDS OF EXCITED TWF FANS IS HEARD. THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON A THRONE, ROBE AND SCEPTOR SET ATOP THE STAGE.

Jim Ross: "The lights are bright in the nation's capital for TWF Rampage and what a crowd.... listen to this place, King"?!

Jerry Lawler: "It is deafening here inside the Verizon Center..... can you hear me now"?!

J.R.: "I'm having a hard time hearing anything, but what a night to be a king, huh"?

Jerry Lawler: "Oh yeah, we're closing in on the annual King of the Ring tournament and right here tonight, the qualifying round gets going".

THE EMPIRE THEME PLAYS AND MATT MORGAN COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "And one of those qualification matches will be our opening contest tonight and go figure, a member of The Empire is involved".

Lawler: "Hey, at least they kept it with just one. I talked to Money Mike earlier today and he said they were thinking about having every member of The Empire in the tournament"!

J.R.: "Well something tells me Matt Morgan will be heavily favored in this thing".

"BLACK" BY SEVENDUST PLAYS AND SEBASTIAN CAIN IS OUT NEXT TO A MASSIVE POP.

Lawler: "The odds will certainly be stacked against Sebastian Cain".

Lawler: "Sebastian Cain is coming off a win over Drew McIntyre in which he gets to name any punishment he wants for McIntyre...... who knows what that will be".

Lawler: "I'm sure that McIntyre has already asked Matt Morgan to punish Cain tonight, perhaps to the point where that punishment won't matter".

King of the Ring Qualification Match

Matt Morgan vs. Sebastian Cain

Morgan tried to attack Cain before the match started, charging across the ring but Cain avoided him and tagged him with a right hand. He hit the ropes and ducked another clothesline. After coming off the other side, he jumped at Morgan but was caught in mid air and slammed straight down into the mat. After a big elbow drop, Morgan pulled Cain up and tossed him into the corner. After turning his back to Cain, he went to work with several reverse elbows to the head. Cain fell to a seated position in the corner and Morgan turned and got him up again. He grabbed his left arm and tried to pull him into a clothesline but Cain ducked and dropkicked him in the back. He then went to the top rope and came off with a clothesline but that still didn't take the big man off his feet. Cain ran the ropes but Morgan grabbed him him by the back of his head and launched him over the top rope. Cain hit the floor hard and Morgan followed him to the floor. Morgan picked Cain up and clubbed him across the back before rolling him into the ring. He then began to go back and forth with some fans when Drew McIntyre sauntered down the ramp. He and Morgan locked eyes as referee Scott Martin administered a count from inside the ring. Cain stood on the apron, with the count on both men. As Morgan talked with McIntyre at a short distance, Cain flew off the apron and was able to take Morgan to the floor with a bulldog! Cain then quickly got back into the ring and waited as Martin reached the count of 10.

Match Time: 5:38

Lawler: "Wai.... wait a minute.... I think Morgan has been counted out"!

CAIN SHOT MCINTYRE A SMILE, WHO JUST TURNED AND WALKED AWAY AS "BLACK" CAME ON AGAIN.

J.R.: "Sebastian Cain has qualified for the tournament, which will take place at DoomsDay.... and he has Drew McIntyre to thank for it"!

Lawler: "Well there's something going on here..... something is definitely going on"!

King of the Ring Qualification Match

Dylan Jansens vs. Troy Gafgen

The second tournament qualification match got underway and Jansens was able to take control early on Gafgen with his quickness. After sliding through Gafgen's legs off an irish whip, Jansens caught him with a dropkick that knocked him into the ropes. Jansens then followed up with a flying wheel kick that took him off his feet. A running senton bomb led to DJ making a cover and Gafgen pushed him off at 2. Jansens, looking to return his name to prominence, worked Gafgen into the corner and delivered kicks to his legs and body. He then grabbed him around the head and neck and tried to negotiate a tornado DDT, but Gafgen tossed him across the ring. He then charged at him with a clothesline but Jansens ducked and struck with an immediate savate kick. Gafgen fell back to the mat and Jansens fell onto him, getting the 1.......2........, but Gafgen was up. From there, Jansens went to the apron and up to the top rope, flying off, but Gafgen got up and managed to kick him right in the head! Jansens crashed to mat and Gafgen grabbed him, pulling him up and delivering a big powerbomb. He then topped Jansens and referee Chad Patton made the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:55

J.R.: "Troy Gafgen will advance to the King of the Ring tournament in a match that Dylan Jansens, well pretty much dominated".

Lawler: "One mistake is all it takes though..... that boot to the head knocked Jansens into 2011"!

REPLAYS WERE SHOWN AS "RUN TO THE HILLS" BY IRON MAIDEN PLAYED.

TIRPAK TURNED AND MOVED FORWARD A LITTLE TOWARDS GAFGEN.

Gafgen: "Ramsley may be out now........ but when he comes back....... I feel sorry for you".

GAFGEN WALKS AWAY AND TIRPAK ACTUALLY HAS A GRIN ON HIS FACE.

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" PLAYS AND BOOS QUICKLY FOLLOW AS JASON OLIVER COMES OUT WITH THE TWF WORLD TITLE OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER. HE IS DRESSED IN A PAIR OF BLUE JEANS, DARK SUNGLASSES, A "CANADIAN MUSTANG" T-SHIRT AND A BLACK LEATHER JACKET.

Lawler: "Here we go..... we are finally going to be graced by the champ"!

J.R.: "For the second time in his career, Jason Oliver became TWF World champion by defeating Matt Cruz but as Cruz has been quick to point out.... he never tapped out in that match".

Lawler: "Passed out, tapped out, I don't see what the difference is. Jason Oliver is still out here with the title, isn't he"?

JASON OLIVER GETS A MICROPHONE AND PAUSES AS THE CROWD BOOS. HE LOOKS AROUND, ALMOST HAPPY ABOUT THE BOOS.

Jason Oliver: "Are you guys through? 'Cause I can stand out here all night long.

THE BOOS SEEM TO GROW EVEN MORE INTENSE.

Now, rather than come out here and gloat about the fact that I did exactly what I said I would do, I'll instead talk about how this title reign will be better than my first in every way possible. See, some of the guys around here and some of you sitting in that crowd right now like to poke fun at my first title reign.... like it's some sort of aberration! Yet, none of those people will ever even come close to being where I am! I am the greatest wrestler in the world today and by making Matt Cruz give up..... but making him scream for mercy at Anarchy Rulz..... I proved just that"!

MORE BOOS ARE HEARD UNTIL "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND MATT CRUZ STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH MARIA.

Matt Cruz: "Gave up? Screamed for mercy? I always knew you were delusional, but that's a stretch even for you. I'll admit, you were the better man that night..... but I have a rematch coming to me and at DoomsDay.... I'll be using it".

Jason Oliver: "That's fine with me, I was planning on it. And after I beat you for a second time, all the questions stop..... all the doubters go away"!

Matt Cruz: "Well, if you ask me, the questions are legitimate? Have you ever successfully defended any title in your career"?

A LOUD POP FOLLOWS THAT QUESTION

Jason Oliver: "Oh go ahead.... go ahead and try to get under my skin, Cruz. The thing is, I have the inside track to holding onto this title and that is for one simple reason..... I know who runs things around here, and you seem to have an issue with them. Ya see, The Empire and Jason Oliver see eye to eye. I know how they like things done and I know what they expect out of a champion! So go ahead, keep smarting off..... keep running your mouth..... you'll end up just like that jackass Jordan Rockwell over on PrimeTime"!

Matt Cruz: "Is that right"?

Jason Oliver: "That's right.... in fact, I have gotten The Empire to put you in a match..... tonight. Oh yeah.... tonight, you will be facing another Canadian.... one I have had my own battles with. So go back and get ready, because you will be going one on one with Rob Storm"!

Matt Cruz: "I look forward to it. In fact, I hope you're watching closely, because I am going to give you an in depth look at what will be your fate at DoomsDay..... and Rob Storm will be the one playing you"!

CRUZ AND OLIVER EXCHANGE STARES FROM ACROSS THE ARENA.

Lawler: "Wow..... that match will happen tonight"!

J.R.: "Rob Storm takes on the number one contender Matt Cruz and Cruz has promised to make an example out of Oliver's fellow Canadian"!

RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE....

Kaval vs. Wade Barrett

Two of the more recent additions to the world of Rampage, Barrett and Kaval got right after it in this match and it was the bigger, stronger Barrett who was in control early. After catching Kaval with a fallaway slam, he used his bruising style to wear the talented superstar down. Following a gutwrench suplex, Barrett opted for some sort of bow and arrow lock in the center of the ring. But Kaval was able to free one of his arms and elbow Barrett in the ribs several times. Kaval got up and ran the ropes but Barrett got up and delivered a knee into his abdomen. He then picked Kaval up and whipped him to the ropes but Kaval sprung off the ropes themselves and caught Barrett with a roundhouse kick to the head. After battering the fallen Barrett with kicks to the body, Kaval waited for him to get up and whipped him to the corner. He then came in with a cartwheel and a kick to the head, but Barrett moved out of the way and then grabbed Kaval around the head and neck, throwing him over his head with a unique suplex. He then got Kaval up and onto his shoulders, looking for the "Wasteland". But Kaval elbowed him in the head and slipped off his shoulders, striking him with a spin kick to the midsection. Quickly, Kaval went outside the ring and to the top rope. But Barrett moved in, drilling him with a shot to the stomach. He tried to get Kaval onto his shoulders again but this time, Kaval turned it into a quick sunset flip and a 3 count out of nowhere!

Match Time: 6:59

J.R.: "Oh what a counter...... Kaval has just picked up a huge win"!

Lawler: "Well remember after this guy was drafted over from PrimeTime, he told none other than Randy Orton that he would make an impact here on Rampage and what a start to that statement"!

KAVAL LEFT THE RING FEELING GREAT AFTER THE WIN AND THE CROWD RESPONDED WITH CHEERS. IN THE RING, BARRETT WAS IN DISBELIEF.

J.R.: "It's clear that Barrett thought he would have no problems with Kaval tonight but what Kaval lacks in size he makes up for with skill and heart"!

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN WITH CRIS HENNING AND DEVON WADE.

Money Mike: "Like I said, you two are the only weak links in The Empire right now. I showed the faith in you..... I got you guys here".

Devon Wade: "So we got Tirpak and Irvin tonight, right"?

Money Mike: "Yes.... two men coming off wins at Anarchy Rulz. This is a big chance for you two..... now make the most of it and show the rest of the group that you belong in it".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE TRIO OF KAYLA KARTER, NATALYA AND KATIE LEA ARE SHOWN IN THE RING. ALL 3 WOMEN STAND IN DIFFERENT CORNERS AND KARTER EVEN HAS HER BACK TO BOTH WOMEN.

J.R.: "Have you ever seen a stranger team than this, King"?

Lawler: "Yeah, this looks like a bad episode of Jerry Springer..... these three divas don't even want to talk to each other, let alone team up together"!

"THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE COMES ON AND MONICA MAKES HER WAY OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS. SHE SEEMS TENTATIVE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME NOT READY TO BACK DOWN.

J.R.: "I'm told that this match was made by the lovely and oh so fair Stephanie McMahon as punishment for trying to show up The Empire at Anarchy Rulz".

Lawler: "Careful, J.R., you don't want Stephanie to put you in a match like this".

J.R.: "I'm sorry, but I fail to see where she tried to show anyone up! All The BoogeySaints wanted was to be called the greatest team in history and quite frankly, for two years now, they have been"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute, what's this"?

JUST AS MONICA GOT INTO THE RING, MARK HENRY AND CHAOS WOLF POPPED OUT OF THE CROWD, BOTH IN STREET CLOTHES, GETTING TO CROWD TO COME TO THEIR FEET. AS HENRY DISTRACTED EVERYONE ELSE, WOLF CAME UP FROM BEHIND MONICA AND GRABBED HER FOOT, TRIPPING HER UP AND PULLING HER OUT OF THE RING! AFTER SLINGING MONICA ONTO HIS SHOULDER, HE AND HENRY BEGAN TO LEAVE. AN IRATE MONICA POUNDED THE BACK OF WOLF BEFORE HE HANDED HER TO HENRY, WHO WAS NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BARRICADE. HENRY AND WOLF LEFT THROUGH THE CROWD AS THE FANS WENT WILD. IN THE RING, KATIE LEA JUST LEFT AFTER SEEING THIS BUT KAYLA KARTER TOOK THE CHANCE TO DROP AN UNSUSPECTING NATALYA WITH A RIGHT HAND.

J.R.: "Well I don't know what the hell is going on here, but the new TWF Tag Team champions have just made off with Monica"!

Lawler: "Are these guys out of their minds?! They can't just take Monica"!

J.R.: "PrimeTime's Mark Henry and Chaos Wolf are in possession of Monica..... what else is gonna happen tonight"!

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, AXL IRVIN, CHRIS TIRPAK, CRIS HENNING AND DEVON WADE ARE IN THE RING, READY FOR ACTION.

J.R.: "We are back on Rampage here live on USA and I still can't believe what we just saw".

Lawler: "What we just saw is a major crime, J.R...... I hope the police have been notified".

J.R.: "We've got tag team action on deck here as Axl Irvin and Chris Tirpak will take on The Empire's young lions and it seems as though Money Mike has a vested interest in this one".

Lawler: "Well yeah, he feels these two guys have let him down so far and he wants them to realize the opportunity they have by being a part of arguably the biggest force we've ever seen here in the TWF".

Chris Tirpak and Axl Irvin vs. Cris Henning and Devon Wade

Henning and Wade had some discussion before the match as to who would start, but it was Tirpak who jumped in for his team, drilling Henning with a shot from behind. Tirpak was all fired up and took a swing at Wade, but missed. Henning threw a right hand but Tirpak blocked it and kicked Henning low, shooting him to the ropes. Tirpak delivered a clothesline followed by a big legdrop. But Tirpak seemed to stiffen up, grabbing at the back of his leg, perhaps still feelings the effects of the Last Man Standing match at Anarchy Rulz. Axl tagged into the match and kept the offense coming to Henning. After shooting him to the corner, he ran in but Henning countered with a back elbow that caught him right in the mouth. After dropping the King of Cable with a swinging neckbreaker, Henning tagged in Wade. Wade went right to the top rope and flew off with a missile dropkick that took Irvin off his feet. Wade then went for some sort of submission maneuver, but Axl worked his way out of it and was able to get Wade in a front facelock. He stood up with him and dragged him to his corner, tagging in Tirpak. Tirpak came into the ring and kicked Wade in the ribs before slinging him into the corner where he smashed him with a bunch of knifedge chops. He then lifted Wade to the top rope and got up there with him, delivering a big superplex. Tirpak was shaken up by the impact of the move as well, but he moved over and covered Wade, getting a long 2 count. Both men made their way to their corners. Henning held his arm stretch out over the top rope while Axl yelled for Tirpak to get to him. Simultaneous tags were made and Axl came into the ring, beating Henning to the punch. After 2 right hands, Axl blasted Henning with a knifedge chop before running the ropes but Wade stuck a knee into his back. Henning then tagged Wade and held Axl down while Wade shot himself from the apron into the ring with a flying helo. From this point, Wade and Henning took this match over for the next 6-7 minutes. Frequent tags were made in and out as they rotated beating on Irvin. Henning had Irvin on his shoulders and he walked around the ring with him, a huge move in mind. But Axl was able to grab the top rope to get free and he put Henning down with a backdrop suplex. With the crowd willing him on, Axl made it to his corner and tagged Tirpak. Tirpak was all over Henning, which brought Wade into the ring. But Axl thwarted that by clotheslining Wade over the top rope. However, Henning came from behind and pushed Tirpak right into Axl, knocking Irvin through the ropes and to the floor. Henning then rolled Tirpak up and grabbed a handful of tights to steal the win!

Match Time: 12:26

J.R.: "Oh you gotta be kidding me"!

Lawler: "Wade and Henning may have just made Money Mike's night! Does this mean we're gonna get strippers"?!

THE EMPIRE's THEME PLAYED AS HENNING AND WADE LEFT WITH THE SURPRISING WIN. BUT IN THE RING, AXL AND TIRPAK SEEMED TO BE HAVING WORDS.

J.R.: "Why don't you go and ask"?!

Lawler: "Wait a minute..... look......

TIRPAK AND AXL WERE ENGAGED IN A HEATED EXCHANGE WHEN TIRPAK PICKED HIM UP AND DELIVERED THE "LIGHTS OUT"! TIRPAK LEFT, RECEIVING SOME BOOS FOR HIS ACTIONS.

J.R.: "Well I'm not sure what was said there, but I don't know that it warranted that".

Lawler: "Maybe Troy Gafgen's warning earlier is weighing on the mind of Tirpak"!

J.R.: "I'm not sure what the deal is, but there was no reason to attack Axl Irvin.... none whatsoever".

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, EDDIE SAINT JAMES IS IN THE FACE OF MONEY MIKE.

Eddie Saint James: "I'm not gonna listen to that...... I want her back now"!

Money Mike: "I didn't know those two were gonna be here.... is that what you're suggesting"?

Eddie Saint James: "Where are the police..... what do they......

JUST THEN, TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES INTO THE SHOT.

Travis Wakeman: "Saint..... calm down. I know how you feel and you have every right to be mad. But trust me...... nothing will happen to Monica. Chaos Wolf and Mark Henry have been ordered to turn her over and I don't think they'd want to find out what will happen if they don't. Just.........

SUDDENLY, AN UNIDENTIFIED MAN COMES UP WITH AN ENVELOPE AND HANDS IT TO WAKEMAN.

Man: "This is for you, sir".

WAKEMAN OPENS THE ENVELOPE AND PULLS OUT A PIECE OF PAPER, READING IT TO HIMSELF.

Travis Wakeman: "Jordan Rockwell wants to meet with me, huh? Where's Trish, I have an idea".

WAKEMAN WALKS OFF. MONEY MIKE GIVES THE SAINT A LONG STARE BEFORE SAINT TURNS AND WALKS AWAY, STEAMING MAD.

"I AM PERFECTION" COMES ON AND DOLPH ZIGGLER COMES OUT, AN EXUBERANT SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO THE BOOS OF THE CROWD.

J.R.: "What do you think of that decision, King? You still think the police need to be called over Monica getting swiped by the tag team champions of PrimeTime".

Lawler: "The Empire said they're gonna take care of it and that's good enough for me".

J.R.: "I guess we'll have to see what Chaos Wolf and Mark Henry are going to do but as Wakeman said.... they'd be wise to adhere to those directions".

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

Lawler: "Now we've got another King of the Ring qualifier and this should be a good one".

J.R.: "J.J. Ramplin is a guy we have seen take issue with The Empire and even go as far as to make threats.... saying he'll take matters into his own hands after he's been on the wrong side of some cheap tactics in recent matches".

Lawler: "On the last Rampage, he punched out a referee! He's lucky to have a job at this point and if I were him, I wouldn't press that luck".

J.R.: "Dolph Ziggler will be the opponent for The Ram tonight and of course the winner qualifies for the tournament which will take place at DoomsDay".

King of the Ring Qualification Match

Dolph Ziggler vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin

Right as the bell sounded, Ramplin came running across the ring, slamming into Ziggler and unloading on him with punches. Ziggler was completely caught off guard and Ramplin didn't let up. After shooting him to the ropes, he went for a clothesline which Ziggler ducked and threw a dropkick. Ramplin swatted his feet away and then grabbed Ziggler, delivering a vicious t-bone suplex. He then backed up into the corner, preying on Ziggler. Dolph got up to see Ramplin charging with the spear, and he dropped down and rolled out of the ring. Thinking he'd gotten to safety, Ziggler took his eyes off Ramplin who came to the apron and flew off with an axe handle, knocking Ziggler into the barricade. Ramplin looked almost possessed as he laid into Ziggler, picking him up and dropping him throat first over the barricade. He then grabbed Ziggler and rolled him into the ring. He then came in and grabbed him, looking for a suplex. But Ziggler got in a few shots to the ribs and countered with a nice fireman's carry. Ziggler then got a standing waistlock on Ramplin and after avoiding a swinging elbow, Ziggler came up with a northern lights suplex that got a 2 count. Ziggler was adamant about keeping Ramplin grounded, hoping to sap some energy with a front facelock. But Ramplin still had plenty left, getting to his feet and freeing himself after some punches to the body. Ziggler jumped on him, looking for a sleeper hold but Ramplin countered by backing him into the corner. He then ran in at Ziggler but Ziggler used the ropes to perform a sunset flip. He rolled through it though and put his feet on the ropes to pin Ramplin.

Match Time: 7:06

J.R.: "Oh you gotta be kidding me...... Ramplin just got hosed again"!

Lawler: "And again, the referee didn't see it"!

ZIGGLER's THEME PLAYED AS HE WENT BACK UP THE RAMP AFTER SCURRYING OUT OF THE RING.

J.R.: "Dolph Ziggler has qualified for the tournament but what a letdown.... what a letdown for Ramplin".

RAMPLIN LOOKED VERY HEATED IN THE RING AS HE WATCHED THE VICTORIOUS ZIGGLER WALK AWAY.

Lawler: "Well don't do what you did the last time, Ram..... stay out of The Empire's faces if you know what's good for you"!

J.R.: "Stay with us.... we'll be back with Christian taking on Sheamus in our last qualification match"!

McINTYRE WALKS IN WITH HIS HEAD DOWN.

Ya see, I know you guys had your eye on this punk, but from now until I decide I don't need him anymore, he is going to serve as my personal assistant. So if I want him to do my laundry, he has to. If I want him to help me win a match, he has to. If I decide I want him to find me a piece of ass for the night...........

Travis Wakeman: "Okay, we get it. Drew will be your personal assistant. Just remember, we can make that contract stipulation null and void at any time.........

McINTYRE GETS A GRIN ON HIS FACE WHEN HE HEARS THAT. THE SHOT THEN GOES BACK TO THE RING.

King of the Ring Qualification Match

Sheamus vs. Christian

A collar and elbow tie up started the match and the bigger and stronger Sheamus pushed Christian into the corner. Referee Jose Mendez moved in for a break but it was actually Christian who popped Sheamus with a cheap shot. After kicks to each of Sheamus' lower legs, Christian ran the ropes. Sheamus threw a clothesline which Christian ducked before latching on to a standing waistlock. He ran Sheamus to the ropes but Sheamus held onto them to buck Christian off. He then charged with a double sledge but Christian avoided that and hit a flying clothesline to take the big man down. He then went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a flying back elbow, catching Sheamus with it. He went for a cover, but only got a 2 count. Looking for a quick victory, Christian clapped his hands together. The fans joined in as he tried to hook Sheamus in for the "Killswitch". But Sheamus shook him off. Christian ran at him but this time, Sheamus connected with that double sledge, smashing him in the face. Sheamus was charged up at this point and he pulled Christian to his feet, getting him up over his head for the "High Cross" powerbomb. The back of Christian's head bounced off the mat and Sheamus got on top for the cover, getting the win.

Match Time: 4:26

Lawler: "Now that is how you get the job done! Wow is this Sheamus impressive or what"?!

J.R.: "You'd have to consider him a favorite in the tournament, King, like it or not. Christian was cruising in that match and within a matter of two moves, Sheamus ended it"!

"TOO MANY LIES" PLAYED LOUDLY AS SHEAMUS STOOD IN THE RING, BEATING HIS CHEST AND RAISING HIS ARMS IN VICTORY AS THE CROWD BOOED.

Lawler: "It will be a test for anyone who is in this tournament, Rampage or PrimeTime, to beat this guy".

MONEY MIKE IS WALKING DOWN THE HALL, LAUGHING AS HE TALKS HIS CELL PHONE. JUST THEN, RANDY ORTON APPEARS AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY.

Money Mike: "I'm gonna have to let you go".

MIKE ENDS THE PHONE CALL AS HE GETS FACE TO FACE WITH ORTON.

Can I help you"?

Randy Orton: "So guys like Christian and Dylan Jansens.... and Matt Morgan deserve a chance to qualify for the King of the Ring.... but I don't"?

Money Mike: "You decided to stick your nose in our business at Anarchy Rulz. I don't know what the hell you thought you were doing, but Carney won anyway. Still, your actions there are the reason you weren't part of the tournament".

Randy Orton: "So you think that you can just bully me around and punish me..... because I refuse to do things The Empire way, right"?

Money Mike: "I know I can".

MIKE PUSHES ORTON ASIDE AND TRIES TO WALK PAST BUT ORTON TURNS HIM AROUND AND RAISES A CLENCHED RIGHT HAND, HIS FACE FILLED WITH ANGER.

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE CAMERA IS FOCUSED ON A WOMAN WEARING A VERY SHORT SKIRT. SHE HAS HER BACK TO THE CAMERA WHICH IS SLOWLY MOVING UP AND DOWN HER BODY. THE BLONDE WOMAN TURNS AROUND...... IT's TRISH STRATUS.

Trish Stratus: "Focus here, guys.... 'cause I'm about to get serious. Now, at Anarchy Rulz, there was one thing that spoiled Carney's victory over Jordan Rockwell..... and that was the end of the match. Undertaker, you're not foolin' anyone, so if you want to be ignorant enough to help Jordan Rockwell..... Beth Phoenix and their little Pain thingy..... then show up on PrimeTime. Go ahead, deadman, show us all just how scary and powerful you are. I'll be there, and so will my husband, ya know, the man who buried you alive one time".

TRISH STARTS TO LAUGH AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM COMES ON AND ROB STORM COMES OUT TO A HOARD OF BOOS.

J.R.: "So The Undertaker has just been given a challenge to show up on PrimeTime by The Empire beauty, Trish Stratus".

Lawler: "That will be veryyyyy interesting to see how that goes".

J.R.: "We're now set for our main event of the evening and here comes the highly technical, highly skilled Rob Storm".

"THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS, BRINGING MATT CRUZ OUT ALONG WITH MARIA TO A GREAT CHEER.

Lawler: "Can you imagine the feather in the cap it would be for Storm if he could defeat the former World champion here".

J.R.: "We found out earlier tonight that at DoomsDay, Cruz will get a rematch against Jason Oliver but you're right, he has to get through Rob Storm first, and Storm has his sights set on a huge upset".

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. CRUZ LOCKS EYES WITH HIM, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE HIS ATTENTION OFF OF STORM.

Lawler: "It looks like we're being joined by the World champ! Cruz better keep his eyes on Maria"!

J.R.: "If Oliver tries to put his hands on her, I don't want to see what Cruz will do".

Rob Storm vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz w/ Maria

Cruz got down in a crouched position, stalking Storm as he moved in on him. Storm tried to attack with a punch but Cruz grabbed his arm and took him to the mat, trying to get a Fujiwara armbar. Storm got free and got to the ropes. He got back to his feet and the two engaged again. This time, a Greco Roman style takedown put Cruz in position to get Storm's back, and he tried to get on a chicken wing. Storm actually bit one of Cruz's fingers to get free. As Cruz shook off the pain, Storm landed a flying calf kick. He then focused on the lower back of Cruz, softening it up with knees and perhaps setting up the Toronto Maple Leaf. He got Cruz up and whipped him to the corner but when he charged in, Cruz backdropped him to the apron. From there, a right hand from the former World champion knocked "Canada's favorite son" to the floor. But Oliver ran over and helped Storm up and he seemed to hand him some sort of object. As he got back into the ring, Cruz grabbed him and threw him over his head with a belly to belly suplex. Despite the impact, Storm held onto the object and the camera got a great shot of it being tweezers, of all things. Cruz moved in and got Storm to a seated position. He got down in a seated position himself and got his legs around him before grabbing Storm's left arm. But before Cruz could go any further, Storm shot his right hand back, catching Cruz in the eye with the tweezers. Maria jumped up on the apron, yelling at referee Jim Korderas about what just took place. Oliver ran over and with to hands, shoved Maria off the apron. She landed very hard on the floor, immediately grabbing her right knee in pain. Oliver took off in a hurry but in the ring, Cruz realized Maria was hurt and he snapped, getting a full mount on Storm and just firing down right hands and elbows. Korderas tried to get Cruz off, but it was no use. After hitting Storm with a succession of over 50 punches, Korderas finally called for the bell, disqualifying "Madik".

EMTs RAN OUT TO CHECK ON MARIA AND SHE COULD BE HEARD SAYING SHE HEARD SOMETHING POP.

J.R.: "The way she landed just looked nasty..... but not as bad as Rob Storm's face does"!

Lawler: "I guess we got our answer as to what Cruz will do if Oliver puts his hands on Maria"!

CRUZ GOT OUT OF THE RING TO CHECK ON MARIA, BUT HE WAS COVERING HIS RIGHT EYE WITH HIS HAND.

J.R.: "Jason Oliver is trying to get into the head of Cruz, but he may have stepped over the line this time"!
