FOLLOWING THE OPENING MONTAGE, THE USUAL ARRAY OF PYRO POUNDS OFF THE SET AND THE ECSTATIC CROWD IN TULSA IS SHOWN!

Jim Ross: "Are you ready for another night of hard hitting TWF action?! We are in Tulsa, Oklahoma and these folks are ready for some action, King"!

Jerry Lawler: "That's right, the state where my good friend J.R. is from.... what an ovation you got when you came out here tonight".

J.R.: "Oh I'll tell ya, it never gets old to hear that Oklahoma Sooner fight song and the roar of this crowd...... it's almost college football season ya know"?

"I AM PERFECTION" IS HEARD AND DOLPH ZIGGLER COMES OUT TO NUMEROUS BOOS.

Lawler: "And not only that, it's almost WrestleMania which means it's almost time for the match we only see once a year..... the WrestleMania Jackpot"!

J.R.: "Dolph Ziggler will face Yoshi Tatsu here and the winner will become the first man to qualify for that Jackpot match..... you gotta like Ziggler's odds here, King".

YOSHI TATSU's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE GETS A GOOD OVATION WHEN HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK.

Lawler: "Yes but don't count out Yoshi, he's gotten several wins on Uprising lately and he is more than capable of getting into that Jackpot match".

J.R.: "Still to come tonight, the Invitational tag team tournament continues and we will see the King of Cable, Chris Tirpak, in action against the self proclaimed favorite son of Canada, Rob Storm".

Lawler: "Oh we've got a huge shot tonight, J.R., but what better way to start than with this match? WrestleMania fever is in the air"!

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualification Match

Dolph Ziggler vs. Yoshi Tatsu

Ziggler came right at Yoshi, figuring he could muscle him around and he backed him into a corner. Tatsu tried to get free but Ziggler was able to land some kicks to the midsection before shooting him into the far corner. Ziggler walked his way over and grabbed Tatsu's right arm, slinging him to the previous corner. Tatsu hit the corner hard and as Ziggler walked in, it looked like he was preparing to do this over and over. Yoshi fought back with some kicks and then a chop to the chest. He threw another kick but Ziggler caught his foot and took him down with a dragon whip. After a very nice elbow drop, Ziggler pulled Yoshi up and took him into a double underhook position. But he talked some trash before trying to execute a move and Yoshi got free. After ducking a clothesline, he clobbered Ziggler with a kick to the head that knocked him for a loop. Tatsu jumped into the cover and got 1...............2............, but Ziggler pushed free. Perhaps hooking a leg would have won Tatsu the match. Yoshi continued to use his feet to pelt the body of Ziggler and after a perfect arm drag, he took Ziggler down with a flying heel kick. Yoshi went to the top rope, looking for his flying spin kick from above. He went for it, but Ziggler alertly got out of the way. He then rushed to get Yoshi to his feet, whipping him to the ropes and connecting with an absolutely devastating dropkick. The impact looked like it knocked a few teeth loose. Ziggler then positioned himself, waiting for Tatsu to slowly get to his feet. He finally did and Dolph slapped on a sleeper hold and it appeared there was no way out. Yoshi did his best to try and find one, but it was no use. Slowly, his struggling started to stop and it was clear Yoshi was out. Referee Scott Martin checked his arm once for good measure and it dropped lifelessly, prompting him to ask for the bell.

Match Time: 6:24

Lawler: "This one is over".

J.R.: "It sure is and the more we get a chance to see it, the more devastating that sleeper hold is becoming.... that young kid is unconscious".

Lawler: "I can recall guys like Rowdy Roddy Piper and Brutus Beefcake winning numerous matches with that sleeper hold, but Ziggler's may be the best I've seen".

"I AM PERFECTION" PLAYED AS ZIGGLER CELEBRATED THE WIN, POINTING TO THE WRESTLEMANIA 12 BANNER THAT HUNG IN THE ARENA's RAFTERS.

J.R.: "Dolph Ziggler is the first man to qualify for the WrestleMania Jackpot match and regardless of who else is in it, I can see him being a huge force in that match".

Lawler: "It's the chance of a lifetime and now Ziggler has it".

J.R.: "Well folks don't go away because up next, the number one contender to the TWF World title, CM Punk, will be in action".

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH THE ARRIVAL OF RANDY ORTON. HE WALKS IN CARRYING A SPORTSBAG AND H STARTS TO HEAD DOWN A HALLWAY WHERE JACK SWAGGER IS WAITING.

Jack Swagger: "Oh, there you are. I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show your face tonight".

Randy Orton: "Get outta the way Swagger, I'm not in the mood".

Jack Swagger: "You're not in the mood? Is that right, Randy? Is that supposed to be my problem? Do you have any idea where we are tonight"?

Randy Orton: "I don't think I really care where we are tonight".

Jack Swagger: "We're in Oklahoma..... the place where I grew up....... and I went to The Empire because I'm sick of not getting any opportunities around here. I told them I wanted to face Randy Orton tonight because after what I saw at Code Red, I think he's weak..... I think he has no heart..... I........

Randy Orton: "And what did The Empire say"?

Jack Swagger: "They made the match".

Randy Orton: "Heh...... well I guess I better get ready then".

ORTON OPENS THE DOOR TO HIS DRESSING ROOM AND SLAMS IT IN SWAGGER's FACE. SWAGGER IS SHOWN SMILING AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

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

USA PROGRAMMING ADS RUN FEATURING "SUITS", "NECESSARY ROUGHNESS" AND "COVERT AFFAIRS".

RETURN FROM BREAK......

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TYSON KIDD IS SHOWN IN THE RING, SET FOR ACTION.

"THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS, BUT HE IS RECEIVING SOME CHEERS.

J.R.: "We welcome you back live to TWF Rampage and the number one contender is on his way to the ring for action and what a statement CM Punk made at Code Red: Wildcard, King! Not only did he.........

Lawler: "Wait a minute, we've got Richard Ramsley out here".

RICHARD RAMSLEY CAME INTO THE RING, AFTER APPARENTLY COMING THROUGH THE CROWD, AND HE NAILED KIDD FROM BEHIND. AFTER SEVERAL STOMPS, RAMSLEY GOT DOWN AND PUNCHED KIDD MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE GETTING HIM UP AND THROWING HIM THROUGH THE RING ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR. PUNK GOT TO THE RING, LOOKING AT THE LYING KIDD, AND THEN GOT IN AS RAMSLEY WAS HANDED A MICROPHONE.

Richard Ramsley: (Pointing at Kidd) "Ya see that chump laying out on the floor?! That can be Matt Cruz! This is what I can do..... this is just one of the things I can do......... and together, there is no way that Matt Cruz can defeat us!"

PUNK GETS A MIC AND SLOWLY WALKS OVER TO RAMSLEY.

CM Punk: "Richard..... I'm really not sure how much more clear I can be on this. I don't need your help man, I really don't. You actually had the nerve to believe that I was going to be your lackey and then........

Richard Ramsley: "I never called you my lackey"!

CM Punk: "And THEN I won the Royal Rumble. All of the sudden, there's no more Troy Gafgen and now..... little Richard Ramsley is looking at the idea of being by himself, his ideals, his beliefs, all of it flushed down the toilet because no one buys into it! Did it ever occur to you, Richard, how long I was held down in this company? I saw my opportunity in the Royal Rumble and I grabbed it by the throat and now........ now you will never see me held down again! You will never see me relying on anyone...... including you....... for...........

"THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE SUDDENLY HITS AND THE CROWD JUMPS TO THEIR FEET. PUNK HAS A SURPRISED LOOK ON HIS FACE AS THE WORLD CHAMPION MAKES HIS WAY TO THE ENTRANCE WAY. HE IS DRESSED IN JEANS AND THE NEW MATT CRUZ T-SHIRT. HE'S GOT THE WORLD TITLE BELT DRAPED ON HIS SHOULDER AS WELL. HE PAUSES AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP TO GLARE AT PUNK, THEN SMIRKS AND SAUNTERS DOWN THE RAMP. HE IS BY HIMSELF, AS MARIA DOES NOT ACCOMPANY HIM THIS TIME.

J.R.: "Here comes the World Champ, Matt Cruz, and he looks like he's coming out here with a purpose, King. After successfully defending the title in a cage match against the Viper, Randy Orton, he was blindsided by the man in the ring. Now it seems business is about to pick up".

Lawler: "You're not kidding, JR. CM Punk hit the GTS on an exhausted Matt Cruz that night. I have a feeling it's set to explode right now. We might not have to wait until Wrestlemania!"

CRUZ CLIMBS INTO THE RING, BUT WALKS AROUND PUNK TO GET A MIC. CRUZ LOOKS AROUND AT THE CROWD, MOSTLY CHEERS AND ONLY A SMATTERING OF BOOS FROM A SMALL SECTION OF FANS DRESSED IN BURGUNDY OKLAHOMA SOONERS JERSEYS.

Matt Cruz: "More polite than I was expecting here in Tulsa. More receptive than that crowd in Chicago. Which brings me to you, Punk. (Cruz gestures to a confused Punk, who looks ready to fight.) Relax, carnal, just came out here to talk, man to man. Which is why Maria isn't out here now. By the look on your face,I guess you thought I was gonna come out here, all enraged and what not, about the fact that you hit the GTS on me after my match with Orton. I respect that. I'm gonna kick your ass from pillar to post for it at Mania, but I respect that. I suppose you're right, I should have seen it coming. It used to be that I thought the only thing we had in common was the fact that we are both carbon based life forms. We couldn't be more different personally, but we both have that drive to best, don't we"?

THE LOOK ON PUNK'S FACE WENT FROM ANGER TO AN ARROGANT SMIRK, AS HE PUT THE MIC TO HIS MOUTH TO ANSWER. MEANWHILE, RAMSLEY HAD SLIPPED OUT OF THE RING.

CM Punk: "Oh please, Cruz. Don't come out here and patronize me. We have nothing in common. The difference between you and I is that you think you're the best and I know I'm the best. You have this theory that since you went to a big time college and were an amateur champion, that we should all bow down to you. While you were cheating on your exams to be eligible to wrestle, I was perfecting my craft on the independent circuit. The TWF handed you everything on a silver platter when you showed up five or six years ago and it still took you this long to establish yourself. I had to fight and scratch to make it where I am today, trying to establish a foothold in this company against guys who didn't want me here. I'm not that bitter, mind you. If I had the lucky breaks you had, I would've taken advantage, too. You know you had them, especially where a certain beautiful red head is concerned. Been there, done that, by the way. I guess you could say I'm the president of that club.

THE CROWD "OOOOHS" AT THAT, WHILE CRUZ PURSES HIS LIPS, CLEARLY ANGERED BY THAT REMARK.

In any case, this all has to do with me finally proving to everybody that I am the absolute best in the TWF by embarrassing you in front of your home crowd."

CRUZ STILL HAS AN ANGERED LOOK ON HIS FACE, BUT HE GOES BACK TO SMILING AS HE GOES TO ANSWER.

Matt Cruz: "You ever read your Shakespeare, Punk?"

CM Punk: "Yeah, I do."

Matt Cruz: "Well, me thinks thou doth protest too much. You're not bitter? Doesn't sound it too me. It's not my fault that I got to wrestle for a National championship while you and the other Napoleons, who were no bigger than the chunks in my hopper, were killing themselves in high school gymnasiums. I've made the most of every oppurtunity ever given me. Personally and professionally. Apparently, I've got two things you really want, right?"

PUNK SHAKES HIS HEAD SLOWLY.

CM Punk: "That's cute. You really want to start with the "Who's johnson is bigger" contest?"

Matt Cruz: "Get the tape measure, I'm not shy!"

THE CROWD LAUGHS AT THE EXCHANGE AS PUNK GETS A FRUSTRATED LOOK ON HIS FACE.

CM Punk: "Are you finished, funny boy?"

Matt Cruz: "Not quite. The fact is, when you made me eat a GTS, I had an epiphany. I remembered why the TWF can actually be a fun place. A liberating type of place. By that I mean, it's a fun place to be when you understand the rules. When you understand that... there are none. Before you think of screwing with me again, just ask around what happens when you mess with me or anyone close to me. Tread. Carefully."

CRUZ THEN TAKES THE TWF WORLD TITLE BELT FROM HIS SHOULDER AND LIFTS IT HIGH IN THE AIR IN FRONT OF PUNK. PUNK AND CRUZ STARE EACH OTHER DOWN AS PUNK EXITS THE RING, NEVER TAKING HIS EYES OFF THE WORLD TITLE BELT.

J.R.: "Boy I tell ya, things are shaping up to be electric by the time we get to Denver"!

Lawler: "I have a feeling things are going to get very, very interesting between these two men here and Cruz even accused Punk on having his eye on more than one thing here"!

J.R.: "Well I hope we can just focus on what a great, great wrestling match that will be between two phenomenal in ring competitors".

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS SHOW AXL IRVIN KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OF THE EMPIRE SUITE. ALBA RIOS OPENS THE DOOR.

Alba Rios: "Do you have an appointment"?

Axl Irvin: "I told Wakeman I'd be here.... I'm here".

ALBA SEEMS PUT OFF BY THE OBVIOUS BAD ATTITUDE OF AXL, BUT SHE OPENS THE DOOR AND ALLOWS HIM IN ANYWAY.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYING AND ROB STORM IS IN THE RING.

"FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" STARTS UP AND CHRIS TIRPAK COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. HE HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND IS WEARING A LONG COAT THAT SAYS "ONE MAN REAPER CREW" ON IT.

J.R.: "We just saw Axl Irvin go into the lavish suite of The Empire back there and maybe it's to talk about the hard nosed match he had with this man at Code Red where Chris Tirpak defeated him to not only retain the King of Cable title but in my mind, put a final stamp on what has been a great rivalry".

Lawler: "Well Tirpak better have his eyes on Rob Storm tonight because remember, it was Storm who won that fatal four way match prior to Code Red and many felt he was deserving of the title shot".

J.R.: "All opponents were selected randomly at Code Red so Tirpak had no control of that but as the fighting champion he is, he has stepped up to battle Storm here tonight".

Lawler: "This match is non-title but you know a win for Storm would put him right in contention".

Non-Title Match

Rob Storm vs. King of Cable: Chris Tirpak

As the match started, Storm tried to get a "Canada" chant going which drew nothing but boos and a "USA" chant started as a way to taunt him. He locked up with the bigger Tirpak who was able to push him into the corner and then loft him across the ring with a hip toss. Storm got up and was smashed with a clothesline to which Tirpak followed up with an elbow drop. Storm was in some early trouble and Tirpak was looking for a quick finish. He got Storm up and shot him to the ropes but Storm slid in between his legs before going for a superkick. Tirpak caught his foot and spun him around before landing a series of right hands that all found the mark. After a kick to the gut, Tirpak delivered a big suplex. He then went to the middle turnbuckle, walking across the ring rope, and came off with an elbow drop. Storm got out of the way and that led to him finally getting in some offense. After a basement dropkick, Storm put the boots to the KOC champion and then got him up, running the ropes and delivering a jumping flip style neckbreaker. Storm went into the cover, hooked the leg, and got a 2 count. After laying in some more kicks, Storm went to the top rope and jumped off. But Tirpak came up with an incredible powerslam after snatching Storm out of mid air. Wasting no time, Tirpak pulled Storm up and lifted him to his shoulders, delivering the "Lights Out" which led to the victory.

Match Time: 7:01

J.R.: "Chris Tirpak just keeps rolling right on towards WrestleMania with another victory here".

"FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" STARTED UP AGAIN AND TIRPAK WAS HANDED THE KING OF CABLE TITLE WHICH HE RAISED UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

Lawler: "He's definitely taking on all comers and having plenty of success, but that list of challengers will just keep growing".

J.R.: "Chris Tirpak has been in the TWF just about as long as anyone...... I'm sure he's ready for what is sure to be a tough road to WrestleMania"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR NCAA '12 FOR PS3 AND XBOX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE "RISE OF PLANET OF THE APES".

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, A NATIVE AMERICAN LOOKING SUPERSTAR WEARING FACEPAINT IS SHOWN IN THE RING. HE IS INTRODUCED AS NIGHTHAWK AND GETS A SMALL APPLAUSE.

"HATE ME" BY BLUE OCTOBER COMES ON AND A MAN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WEARING A BLACK SUIT AND MASK. HE LOOKS AT THE CROWD ON EACH SIDE OF THE RAMP BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage live on the USA network and you are witnessing the first look at Rampage's newest superstar, Cosa Enigmatica".

Lawler: "I've heard a lot about this guy and I can't wait to see what he can do in the ring".

J.R.: "Wrestling has been in this man's bloodlines for decades, King, but he has a family background that he is not exactly proud of and he is looking to make a name for himself as a way to break from those family ties".

Lawler: "I've been told that he's actually not fond of the mask that he wears and in fact, feels the opposite about it".

J.R.: "I haven't had a chance to sit down and talk with the kid, from what I hear he is still learning the English language but I have heard nothing but rave reviews concerning what he can do in the ring".

Cosa Enigmatica vs. Nighthawk (invitee)

Respect was shown from the opening bell by Enigmatica as he offered his hand and Nighthawk shook it. They locked up and Enigmatica quickly scored with an armdrag. Nighthawk got up and ran the ropes, ducking a clothesline. But as he came off the other side, Enigmatica drilled him with a beautiful dropkick. After a running senton bomb, he waited for Nighthawk to get up, blasting him with kicks from both legs when he did. Enigmatica then hooked Nighthawk up in position for a fisherman suplex but Nighthawk punched his way free and ran the ropes, catching the newcomer with a spin kick to the face that took him off his feet. Nighthawk then got him up and shot him to the corner, charging in. Cosa used a backbody drop to deposit Nighthawk on the apron and then he caught him with a very nice round kick to the head. After dragging Nighthawk back into the ring, Cosa wowed the crowd with a standing shooting star press. He then went to the outside of the ring and climbed to the top rope. Whn Nighthawk got to his feet, he took flight with a missile dropkick that connected. Enigmatica then got up and pulled Nighthawk to his feet, locking in what at first appeared to be a torcher rack. But after spinning around, Enigmatica swung Nighthawk off his shoulders, dropping him right on the back of his head. He then covered him and got the win.

Match Time: 5:02

J.R.: "Well in the annals of TWF debuts...... that one has to be as good as we've seen"!

Lawler: "That was very impressive, J.R., but there is still a lot of mystery surrounding this guy! I think I speak for everyone when I say I want to know more about him".

"HATE ME" PLAYED AGAIN AND COSA ENIGMATICA STOOD IN THE RING, TAKING IN THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD WHO WAS QUICKLY WARMING UP TO HIM.

J.R.: "I was told that this will be a man who let's his actions speak for him and if tonight was any indication, I think he's off to a great start"!

BACKSTAGE....... EMPIRE SUITE.....

KAVAL IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE AND HE SEEMS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF THE EMPIRE. JUST WHEN HE SEEMS READY TO DO IT, THE DOOR OPENS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT. TRISH STRATUS THEN STEPS INTO THE DOORWAY.

Trish Stratus: "And you are"?

Kaval: "Uh..... Kaval.........

Trish Stratus: "Uh...... do you work here"?

Kaval: "Heh..... that's funny. But hey, can I get a word with these guys"?

Trish Stratus: "It wasn't intended to be a joke, I have no idea who you are. What do you want"?

Kaval: "I'm just looking for an opportunity, a chance. I'm sure these guys saw my match at Code Red when I was given a chance and I just want to show them that I am the type of guy they are looking for in this company. Not to join The Empire, but I think Wakeman can appreciate a competitor and that's me. I really think he'll.........

Trish Stratus: "Come in..... but you'll have to make it quick".

TRISH OPENS THE DOOR AND KAVAL ENTERS BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH DREW McINTYRE. OLIVER IS HOLDING UP A PIECE OF PAPER IN HIS RIGHT HAND AS THEY HEAD TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Well here comes the former TWF World champion and with him is the personal servant of Sebastian Cain, Drew McIntyre".

Lawler: "Something is going on here though, J.R., we haven't seen McIntyre smile in months"!

THE TWO MEN GET INTO THE RING AND OLIVER ASKS FOR A MICROPHONE.

Jason Oliver: "Geez, Sebastian, for being "royalty", you sure are gullible. I mean, if I knew that all I needed to do to get Drew McIntyre away from you was to send some blonde bimbo with a big rack to your door, it would've happened a long time ago! What I'm saying, for all you people that are too stupid to follow, is that Drew McIntyre is no longer the servant of Mister Cain. All it took was a high priced escort to get him to sign this contract (holds up the piece of paper) and sign McIntyre over. I mean, what did you think you were signing, Cain? Did you think this woman would lower herself to seeing you again? Did you think she was promising to bring a bunch of friends the next time.

OLIVER LAUGHS HEARTILY

Drew McIntyre is one of the top young superstars we have here in the TWF..... I see a lot of myself in him and for his talents to be wasted like they were for the past...........

OLIVER IS CUT OFF BY THE SOUND OF "BLACK" BY SEVENDUST. SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT, HOLDING A MICROPHONE.

Sebastian Cain: "Don't flatter yourself, Oliver. I knew exactly what I was signing. Drew's value to me was gone a long time ago..... but his career may never be the same and that is all due to me. That woman you sent to the door.... that was just an added bonus! Any time you want to give me a gift like that, go for it"!

THE CROWD CHEERS AS CAIN STARTS TO HEAD TO THE RING.

Jason Oliver: "Wait a minute, you're not gonna turn the tables here.... you're not gonna make this about you"!

CAIN GETS IN THE RING, FACING BOTH MEN.

Sebastian Cain: "You guys thought you had a clever little scheme, but I was one step ahead of you. I may be done with Drew, but Jason, I'm just getting started with you. When I came to the TWF, the very first person that tried to give me advice, tried to lend me their ear, was you. You seemed to believe in me and because of that, my confidence grew. But then what? Suddenly I hear you saying things behind my back..... suddenly you think you're too good for me. So the way I see it, you also won King of the Ring...... you are a former World heavyweight champion. You're one of the guys who has always prevented me from being on top here in the TWF and........

Jason Oliver: "Whoa, whoa, whoa..... what makes you think I would want to take a step down in competition to face someone like you? I see where you're going with this and as always, you want to make this about you. But enough about you, Cain..... because Drew and I have much different plans".

WITH THAT, McINTYRE BLINDISDES CAIN WITH AN ATTACK AND HE AND OLIVER ARE ALL OVER CAIN. THE CROWD BOOS AT THE DOUBLE TEAM UNTIL "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND THOSE BOOS TURN TO DEAFENING CHEERS.

Steve Austin: "Hey.... hey..... up here you dumb son of a bitches!

McINTYRE AND OLIVER STOP THE BEATING AND LOOK UP TO SEE AUSTIN.

Yeah.... I'm sittin' back drinkin' a beer and watchin' all this trash spew out of your mouths and it gave me an idea. Since the two of you obviously have some sort of beef with each other, let's solve it. Sebastian Cain wants the match..... do you want the match, Oliver"?

Jason Oliver: "I got Drew McIntyre out of this ridiculous contract and I am looking to help him further his career in the TWF..... that was my goal".

Steve Austin: "Well isn't that cute? Well here's what's gonna happen...... later tonight, it will be Sebastian Cain versus Drew McIntyre, one on one, and Jason, if Cain wins that match..... he gets you at WrestleMania"!

J.R.: "Oh what an announcement made by the Rattlesnake"!

Jason Oliver: "You gotta be kidding me! How can this guy just.........

Steve Austin: "And that's the bottom line..... cause Stone Cold said so"!

THE FANS SAY AUSTIN's FAMOUS LINE WITH HIM AND THEN LOUDLY POP AS THE SHOW GOES TO BREAK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

COMMERCIALS FOR BOTH THE GILLETE FUSION PRO AND COMCAST ARE SHOWN.

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

J.R.: "We're back live and ready for some more action here on Rampage but during the break, what a disgusting act by this guy Sean O'Haire.... take a look".

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK. IT PICKS UP WITH SEAN O'HAIRE IN THE CROWD STANDING IN FRONT OF A YOUNG MAN WEARING AN OKLAHOMA SOONERS T-SHIRT. IN ONE HAND, O'HAIRE HAS A MICROPHONE AND IN THE OTHER IS A BOTTLE OF "PATRON" TEQUILA. HE POURS SOME OF THE DRINK INTO A SMALL GLASS AND OFFERS IT TO THE MAN, DESPITE SOME WOMAN's OBVIOUS PROTESTING.

Sean O'Haire: "Go ahead, dude, live a little".

FINALLY, THE MAN TAKES THE GLASS AND DOWNS IT. THE WOMAN WITH HIM IS OBVIOUSLY MAD AND SHE GRABS THE MICROPHONE FROM O'HAIRE.

Woman: "He's not even old enough to drink! What the hell is wrong with you"?!

SEAN O'HAIRE SNATCHES THE MICROPHONE BACK.

Sean O'Haire: "Rules are made to be broken lady... what can I say..... call the police I guess".

J.R.: "What a great role model for the youth of today.... that was pitiful".

Lawler: "Wow..... poor kid looked like he swallowed something out of the toilet.... did you see that look on his face"?

Sylvester Terkay vs. Harry Smith

The action returned to the ring where members of two of Rampage's tag teams were set to square off. Due to the stipulations agreed upon before this match started, Tyson Kidd and Elijah Burke were both banned from ringside. Early on, both Smith and Terkay tried to use their strength to establish themselves and they both pushed each other around but neither man would budge. Smith finally ducked a clothesline attempt and picked Terkay up above his head, running across the ring and slamming Terkay into the turnbuckle. Smith batted his chest twice before whipping Terkay to the opposite turnbuckle and following in with a clothesline. He then got Terkay up on his shoulders but the Manbear grabbed the top rope to block the inevitable running powerslam. Smith tried to pull Terkay and break his grip but he couldn't do it and Terkay was able to get free. Smith moved in but ate a shot to the gut and Terkay followed that up with a high kick to the head. Terkay then grabbed Smith and delivered a very nice gutwrench suplex. Starting to feel it, Terkay pulled Smith up and peppered his body with several punches. He then threw another kick but this time, Smith caught his foot and pushed him down. From there, he was trying to set up the Sharpshooter and he nearly had it, he just wasn't able to turn the one time ECW World champion over. Terkay flipped Smith off using his legs and he got up, snatching the Hart Family member and driving him into the mat with a spinebuster. Terkay then tightened the MMA-style glove on his right hand and when Smith got up, he dropped him with the nasty Heart Punch. Terkay went into the cover and got the win.

Match Time: 5:51

J.R.: "A nice win for the Manbear Sylvester Terkay and you gotta believe that this will help give his team added momentum in the tag team tournament".

Lawler: "And most guys I talk to feel he and Elijah Burke are the favorites in that tournament, J.R.".

J.R.: "Well still to come tonight will be our first match in the second round of that tournament between The F.B.I. and The Nasty Boys...........

BACKSTAGE........

Richard Ramsley is shown sitting down in his locker room. His hair is covering most of his face, and he is breathing heavily.

Richard Ramsley: "Punk.... I want to let you in on a little secret. See, you want to talk about how you were held down, about how at the Royal Rumble, you grabbed your opportunity by the throat.... well, guess what? It was ME that gave you the keys to the damn kingdom! Think back, Punk, think REAL hard about when we drew our numbers. Did I show you mine? No. What did I say? I said I knew my luck. I meant that, Punk. See, I wanted you to prosper. I wanted you to succeed. Because I don't want you to be my lackey, Punk, I want you to be my ally. So what did I do? The night before the Rumble, I made a proposition to The Empire. I would take the crappiest number they could afford to give me, as well as owe them a favor. And what did I want in exchange? You to draw thirty. So, they loaded a lottery wheel with nothing but thirties. Hell, I drew a thirty, Punk, that’s why I wouldn’t show you my number. You know what that means, buddy? It means I GAVE you the last entry, Punk! ME! So you want to say you don't need me? You want to say that you've earned your title match at WrestleMania? Guess what? You're headlining Mania because I wanted you to. And I still want you to. I want you to win that title, and I want you and I to essentially run Rampage. But there's an old saying, Punk. He who giveth, taketh away as well. I don't want to be your enemy, I can't make that any more clear. But if you keep ignoring my generosity, if you keep pushing me.... let me tell you, man, you don't want to be on my shit list. So how about you think about that before you get on your high horse"?

"BROKEN DREAMS" COMES ON AND DREW McINTYRE STEPS OUT TO A HOARD OF BOOS.

Lawler: "Is Ramsley telling the truth?! CM Punk getting number thirty at the Rumble was..... all set up"?

J.R.: "That is the claim that Ramsley just made but he's never been someone I would trust as far as I could throw".

"BLACK" PLAYS AGAIN AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT. HE HAS LEFT HIS ROYAL ROBE AND CROWN BEHIND AND APPEARS READY FOR ACTION, HEADING TO THE RING IN A HURRY.

Lawler: "And here comes Sebastian Cain, ready to get him some of his former servant"!

J.R.: "We heard it announced earlier by Steve Austin that if Cain can defeat McIntyre here tonight, he'll get Jason Oliver one on one at WrestleMania and that will be one helluva a match"!

Drew McIntyre vs. Sebastian Cain

The match got underway and McIntyre moved right in on his former "master", but Cain blocked a punch and landed a few of his own. Off an irish whip, Cain delivered a big backbody drop and he was all fired up. After getting McIntyre to his feet, he hooked him up and delivered a snap suplex. From there, Cain tried to get the right arm of McIntyre, setting up some sort of submission hold. But McIntyre fought it off and got to his feet, kicking Cain right in the abdomen. After grabbing Cain by the throat with his right hand, McIntyre drove him into the corner and put the badmouth on him. He then threw a right hand which Cain blocked, firing back with more hard rights. He then shot McIntyre to the ropes and connected with a flying heel kick, a move we hadn't seen in Cain's arsenal. But just then, Jason Oliver hit the ring, attacking Oliver from behind. Referee Chad Patton quickly threw the match out, calling for the bell.

Match Time: 4:02

J.R.: "What the hell is this?! Jason Oliver is out here and I believe he's gotten McIntyre disqualified"!

Lawler: "It looks like that match is on for WrestleMania, but Cain is far from out of the woods tonight"!

CAIN DID HIS BEST TO FIGHT OFF BOTH MEN, ELBOWING OLIVER LOW AND THEN CLOTHESLINING McINTYRE. CAIN WENT TO FOLLOW UP ON McINTYRE BUT OLIVER CAME FROM BEHIND WITH A LOW BLOW, DOUBLING CAIN OVER. HE THEN PULLED THE REIGNING KING OF THE RING UP AND DELIVERED THE "CALYMORE". THE FANS BOOED AS OLIVER STOOD OVER CAIN YELLING, "YOU WANTED ME...... NOW YOU GOT ME..... BITCH"!

J.R.: "Jason Oliver seems to want this match just as much as Cain does! He knew what he was doing here"!

Lawler: "And as we head to the biggest event of the year, you'd have to say the score is Oliver one, Cain zero".

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

COMMERCIALS FOR BRITA WATER FILTERS AND THE TWF MALL ARE SHOWN.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE NASTY BOYS AND THE FULL BLOODED ITALIANS ARE IN THE RING. EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA HAVE JOINED J.R. AND THE KING AT THE BROADCAST TABLE.

J.R.: "Back on Rampage and ready for more action in our tag team tournament".

Lawler: "This will be the first match in the second round.... what is your opinion of these two teams, Saint"?

Eddie Saint James: "If I'm honest, both of these teams are a complete joke. Boogeyman and I could defeat either team in less than five minutes".

J.R.: "By the way, where is old Boogey tonight"?

Monica: "That's not a relevant question, you have The Saint and myself out here. If we were worried about any of the competition, maybe we'd all be out here but let's be serious guys, no one can beat my team".

J.R.: "Well that remains to be seen but I'm sure either of these teams in the ring would love to take the shot".

Invitational Tag Team Tournament Second Round

The Nasty Boys vs. The F.B.I.

Brian Knobbs started things off with Tracy Smothers and both men seemed to be a bit out of shape as there was a lot of stalling. The fans couldn't get behind either team but it was Smothers who was able to take the offensive after coming off an irish whip and hitting an armbar DDT when Knobbs ducked his head a little early. He then stomped on the back of Knobbs a few times before making the tag to Big Sal Graziano. The 400 pounder came into the ring and threw his weight around, literally. After whipping Knobbs into the corner, he smashed him with an avalanche before dropping a massive elbow. Graziano moved very slowly, but his moves had a devastating impact. Instead of covering Knobbs, he tagged Smothers back into the match. He went to the middle turnbuckle and tried to come off with a front dropkick but Knobbs got out of the way. He then pulled Smothers up and motioned to his partner, Jerry Sags, who lifted his right arm and Knobbs shoved the face of Smothers into his arm pit a move famously known as the Pit Stop. Knobbs yelled "As nasty as we wanna be" and that drew a positive reaction from the crowd. Sags tagged in and went to work on Smothers with some hard right hands and a few Dusty Rhodes-style elbows. He then made his way to the corner and rocked Big Sal with a right hand. Turning back to Smothers, Sags ate a low dropkick right on the kneecap and Smothers followed that with a vicious DDT while Sags was on his knees. He went for the cover but Knobbs came in to break up what appeared to be a sure 3 count. Big Sal got into the ring and he and Knobbs traded shots. Smothers came over to help and soon the F.B.I. was in control of Knobbs, dumping him over the top rope. Sal turned back to Sags, delivering a big elbow drop. From there, the mountainous Graziano stood in the corner as Smothers went to the top rope. But that wasn't enough as he stood on the shoulders of his monstrous partner and jumped off with a big knee that caught Sags right on the chest under the chin. Sags was in a lot of pain but Smothers scrambled into the cover, hooking the leg and getting the win.

Match Time: 9:35

J.R.: "Tracy Smothers must have been ten to twelve feet in the air when he came down on Jerry Sags.... what a way to advance in the tournament"!

Lawler: "The F.B.I. has advanced.... what do you guys think of that"?

RIGHT AS LAWLER ASKED THAT QUESTION, CAMERAS GOT A SHOT OF KATIE LEA COMING DOWN THE RAMP AND MAKING HER WAY AROUND THE RING.

Eddie Saint James: "Like I said, it wouldn't take Boogey and I five.........

KATIE LEA WAS NOW IN FRONT OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF MONICA. NEARBY CAMERAS CLEARLY CAUGHT WHAT KATIE LEA SAID.

Katie Lea: "Hello, Monica, I came to give you a message directly from Stephanie McMahon".

WITH THAT, KATIE SMASHED MONICA WITH A RIGHT FOREARM SHIVER, DROPPING THE FORMER WOMEN's CHAMPION. EDDIE SAINT JAMES GOT DOWN TO CHECK ON HER AS KATIE LEA WALKED AWAY. MOST OF THE CROWD SEEMED TO BE WONDERING WHAT WAS GOING ON.

J.R.: "What in the hell was that all about"?!

Lawler: "Well I heard Katie Lea say she was delivering a message for Stephanie McMahon, but why? I'm confused.......

J.R.: "Yeah I'm not sure I follow either but Katie Lea just came out here to do the billion dollar princess' dirty work"!

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, COURTNEY TAYLOR HAS CAUGHT UP WITH A FURIOUS SEBASTIAN CAIN. CAIN IS HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE ATTACK JUST A BIT AGO.

Courtney Taylor: "Sebastian, you now get Jason Oliver in a match at WrestleMania. Despite what happened out there earlier, was it worth it"?

Sebastian Cain: "It won't be worth it until the payoff and that comes at WrestleMania..... but until then, Jason, expect King Cain to be a ROYAL pain in your ass"!

CAIN WALKS AWAY AS THE LOVELY COURTNEY TAYLOR WATCHES.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE "HELP I'M ALIVE" BY METRIC IS PLAYING. KAYLA KARTER, WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST AND KHARMA ARE IN THE RING. KAYLA IS WEARING HER BRAND NEW T-SHIRT, AVAILABLE IN THE TWF MALL. THE MUSIC STOPS PLAYING AS KAYLA LIFTS A MICROPHONE TO HER LIPS.

Kayla Karter: "I think I am still laughing about Code Red. I go into the event wondering who.... just who they are going to get to face the best women's champion in TWF history. And who do I get....... a soccer player? For those of you who were too cheap to order the event and may have missed it, I'm not kidding. I don't even remember the broad's name, but it was laughable to say the least. So I am out here to send a message to all the barbie dolls and wannabe Hollywood actresses back there that I don't.........

JUST THEN, KAYLA IS INTERRUPTED BY "TEARS DON'T FALL" AND OUT STEPS GINA CARANO TO A MASSIVE CHEER.

Gina Carano: "Hold up.... hold up...... best women's champion in history? That's laughable, girl..... laughable that you actually think you hold a candle to some of the divas that have passed through the TWF..... some of them being barbie dolls, as you call them".

Kayla Karter: "Oh look, it's Gina Carano, the girl who every guy loves. And why, why is that? Because she's "hot"?

A RESOUNDING "YES" IS HEARD FROM THE MALE PORTION OF THE CROWD, FORCING GINA TO SMILE.

Kayla Karter: "That is exactly what is wrong with people today. They recognize a woman's looks and could care less what else she can do. But fact is, Gina..... I'm way better looking than you but...... I am a lot more successful. These people should recognize me for being the symbol of what women in this business should strive for.... rather than worshiping you cause you were on American Gladiators"!

Gina Carano: "You're more successful than me? I guess all that smoke you blow up your own ass has clouded your memory, but that's fine. That's fine, Kayla, because I'm coming for you.... and I'm coming for my belt. And I don't care if I have to go through that thing you've got in the ring with you to do it"!

KHARMA's EYES START TO GROW BIGGER AS SHE STEPS FORWARD IN FRONT OF KAYLA. GINA CARANO STANDS HER GROUND AS HER MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY AND THE CROWD CHEERS, BACKING GINA.

J.R.: "Well if and when that match takes place, I will circle the date on my calendar because it will be a good one"!

Lawler: "Gina Carano just said she'll take on Kayla Karter, even if she has to go through Kharma first! But if she takes that route, Kayla may never have to worry about Gina again"!

J.R.: "Fans don't go anywhere because coming up next, Randy Orton will take on the All American American, Jack Swagger".

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR HONEY NUT CHEERIOS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE.

RETURN FROM BREAK......

"ON YOUR KNEES" HITS WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS AND JACK SWAGGER COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

Lawler: "This isn't exactly a great hometown response for Swagger..... not like the one you got, J.R.".

J.R.: "I've always loved Swagger as an athlete but his personality could use a complete overhaul".

Lawler: "He asked for this match here tonight with Randy Orton and you have to think that he would shoot right up the rankings if he can pull it off".

J.R.: "There is no doubt about that. Orton is still hovering around the number one contender area".

"VOICES" COMES ON AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT. HE IS STILL GETTING THE FAMILIAR MIXED RESPONSE THAT HE HAS OF LATE.

Lawler: "I don't know if antagonizing this guy following that tough loss at Code Red was a smart move on Swagger's part".

J.R.: "Randy Orton fought tooth and nail with Matt Cruz at Code Red and could very well be in that main event at WrestleMania but Cruz was the better man on that night. I have to agree with ya, King, the Viper looks hungry and I'm not sure that's a good thing if you're Swagger".

Randy Orton vs. Jack Swagger

The bell sounded and Swagger moved in but Orton landed a kick followed by a big european uppercut. He then charged in and clotheslined Swagger over the top rope and out of the ring. Swagger landed on his feet and Orton yelled for him to get back in. Swagger slid under the bottom rope and Orton moved in, putting the boots to him. Referee Jim Korderas tried to get Orton to give Swagger some room and Swagger grabbed the right foot of Orton and tripped him up. He had an ankle lock in but as he tried to get a tighter gripped, Orton countered by rolling forward, throwing Swagger across the ring. Both men got to their feet but Swagger dropped to one knee, using a quick go behind and hitting an impressive german suplex on Orton. From there, Swagger charged across the ring, using the ropes to try and splash down on Orton. He connected with a ton of force and made the cover. Orton was up at 2. Swagger eagerly pulled Orton up, sensing the upset win. But as he yelled in his face, Orton recovered and delivered the "RKO"! He fell into a cover and just like that, the match was over!

Match Time: 6:24

J.R.: "Randy Orton strikes with the suddenness of a King Cobra! That came out of nowhere"!

Lawler: "Jack Swagger is lookin' up at the lights and still doesn't know what hit him"!

J.R.: "Oh look out................

BEFORE ORTON COULD DO MUCH CELEBRATING, CM PUNK WAS IN THE RING AND HE GOT HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS, HITTING THE "GTS". PUNK THEN STOOD OVER ORTON AND YELLED "I'M THE MAIN EVENT..... I'M GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA"!

Lawler: "CM Punk with the GTS"!

J.R.: "It's like Code Red all over again! CM Punk has delivered the GTS to Randy Orton.... sending a message to the entire Rampage division"!

THE SHOT FADED OUT ON PUNK STANDING OVER ORTON AS "THIS FIRE BURNS" BLARED.

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