RAW GOES LIVE AS RAW COMES ON THE AIR, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK WHERE THE NWO CHALLENGED THE GWF's NWO. "ACROSS THE NATION" LEADS INTO RAW's MONTAGE VIDEO. FIREWORKS AND PYRO POP THROUGH THE SOLD OUT ARENA. Jim Ross: "We are live and the crowd here in Colorado Springs at the World Arena is ready for what should be a slobberknocker of a show"! A PROMO PICTURE WITH THE RAW LOGO IN THE BACKGROUND POPS UP WITH NAILS HOLDING THE TOUGHMAN TITLE AND FRANCINE STANDING NEXT TO HIM. ON THE OTHER SIDE IS A TRENCH COAT WEARING NEMESIS. Jerry Lawler: "You got that right J.R. because this one between Nails and Nemesis has slobberknocker written all over it"! J.R.: "It won't be for the title but the storied rivalry between these two is enough fuel on the fire"! THE NWO THEME HITS AS SCOTT HALL AND NAILS LEAD A MIC HOLDING KEVIN NASH OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Lawler: "Not only that J.R., but we got Triple H versus Strife in the main event and now here comes the NWO"! J.R.: "I imagine these pompous asses are gonna have a lot to say because according to rumors swirling around the arena, the GWF has accepted their challenge"! Lawler: "Pompous asses or not J.R., they work for this company so we gotta root for them"! Kevin Nash: "So the GWF showed some guts after all huh? You guys wanna war? You got one! NWO vs. NWO, loser can no longer use the name. Ya know, about sux years ago when Scott and I came up with this idea, people didn't think it'd go anywhere. And now, the NWO is the strongest force in the history of this business! What we anna know is what makes you people think you can just create one of your own that'll have the same effect? Win or lose, your NWO will never have the same effect this one did! We are the founders, this is the original! Now you guys wanna try and take us out, that's fine, cause many have. But you will fall just like all of them. Now as far as tonight goes, even though Chono and Muta are running late, we're gonna make an impact"! NASH TOSSES THE MIC DOWN AS THE NWO THEME HITS. J.R.: "They better make an impact or a lasting effect! This could be the last time we see the NWO on RAW"! Lawler: "Oh don't say that J.R., that's a terrible thought"! BACKSTAGE LILIAN GARCIA STANDS WITH AUSTIN PYROMANIA. Lilian Garcia: "Now Austin, last week on RAW, you provoked Shawn Stasiak on his first appearance on RAW. Now can you tell us why"? Austin Pyromania: "Well Lilian, not that it's any of your business, but in case you haven't noticed, my star is ready to shine, I'm ready to take off, to start climbing the ladder of success. I'm ready to for the path to my destiny, a destiny that includes many great things and I'm gonna be damned if a punk like Shawn Stasiak is gonna take it from me". J.R.: "That match is next"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... McMAHON SUITE.... STEPH IS SITTING AT HER DESK WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND CARNEY WALKS IN CARRYING A FOLDER WITH NUMEROUS PAPERS INSIDE. Stephanie: "Well Carney, what can I do for ya"? CARNEY THROWS THE FOLDER DOWN AS PAPERS SLIDE OUT. Carney: "Just came to give you those. I want you to know that I'll make a bigger impact on PrimeTime". Stephanie: "Well you just go on and do that Carney, because we got something three times bigger and better than you in Albert. (sarcastically) We here at RAW wish you all the best". CARNEY WALKS OUT, LEAVING THE DOOR WIDE OPEN. STEPH GETS UP AND CLOSES IT. "BALLAD OF A DEAD SOULJA" BY 2-PAC HITS AND GREEN PYRO SPRAYS OFF IN THE ENTRANCE WAY AS AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R.: "Well we're back here on RAW folks and we're ready for a match between two of RAW's newest stars". Lawler: "This one started last week in the parking lot when Shawn Stasiak arrived at the arena"! SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. J.R.: "Well Stasiak has been on a roll lately over on PrimeTime and after he won that battle royale at MeltDown, he decided to come to the top show in wrestling and Pyromania took exception to it". Lawler: "Well he thinks he's stealing his spotlight J.R. but it's news to me that it was on him"! Austin Pyromania vs. Shawn Stasiak This one started at a maddening pace as Pyromania got the best of a collar and elbow tie up and whipped Stasiak to the mat with an arm drag into a hammerlock. From there, he took it into a backdrop suplex right on the arm but Stasiak countered with a short arm clothesline when he pulled him out. Stasiak then put the boots to his chest and dropped a big elbow but Pyromania kicked out before 2. Stasiak went for a scoop slam but Pyromania slipped out of it and hit a reverse russian leg sweep and then he hit a cradle piledriver but Stasiak kicked out at 2. Pyromania whipped him into the ropes and caught him with a flying back elbow before climbing the top rope and scoring with a beautiful moonsault. He hooked Stasiak's inner leg for the 1.....2....., but at the last second, Stasiak got his other leg on the bottom rope to prevent the 3 count. The inexperienced Pyromania got in referee Chad Patton's face complaining of a slow count as Stasiak recovered. Pyromania turned around but caught a boot to the gut and then Stasiak hit a fisherman suplex and locked his hands together to get the 3 count. Match Time: 5:16 J.R.: "Well a great effort by Pyromania but a rookie mistake has cost him and Stasiak continues his hot streak". Lawler: "Honestly J.R., I thought Patton's count was kinda slow myself". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... Nidia: "Oh baby, we're almost there! In just about one week, you're gonna have a chance to put RAW at the top of the wrestling world"! High Octane: "I know, I can't wait! Those other three guys better be ready for a head on collision"! Voice from behind: "So you're excited huh"? HIGH OCTANE TURNS AROUND TO SEE SCOTT HALL WITH A TOOTHPICK IN HIS MOUTH. High Octane: "What do you want"? Scott Hall: "What do I want? Listen punk, I want a lot of things but it's none of your concern. Hell, I might want your little girlfriend here". NIDIA BACKS AWAY. High Octane: "You think I'm scared of you? Why, cause you have a toothpick in your mouth? Cayse you haven't shaved in weeks? If you wanna find out how big a punk I am, why don't you meet me in the ring, tonight"? Hall: (trying hard not to laugh) "You wanna face Scott Hall? You're on, punk". HALL WALKS AWAY AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL.... "TWO WORLD's ARE ON A COLLSION COURSE. THE GWF LOGO IS SHOWN. IN A BATTLE FOR WRESTLING SUPREMACY. THE TWF LOGO IS SHOWN. BUT BEFORE ALL THE ACTION STARTS, DON'T MISS THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT WILL SET THE TABLE! VARIOUS TWF AND GWF STARS ARE SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THE PPV LOGO. THIS SUNDAY NIGHT"! RETURN FROM BREAK... OUTSIDE AKASHA's DRESSING ROOM.... AN ARENA EMPLOYEE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR. MOMENTS LATER, AKASHA OPENS IT AND HE HANDS HER A BOUQUET OF BLACK ROSES. Man: "These are for you". Akasha: "They're beautiful. SHE FINDS A SMALL NOTE AND READS IT TO HERSELF. Meet me at the Cave of the Winds in one hour. Oh my love, you shouldn't have. I'll be there in one hour". MEANWHILE AT THE McMAHON SUITE NEMESIS ENTERS. Stephanie: "Ah Nemesis, shouldn't you be getting ready for your match tonight"? Nemesis: "I will, but one question first". Steph: "Okay". Nemesis: (his voice gets louder) "Why the hell is my match with Nails not for the Toughman Title"? Steph: "Well, I thought you might ask that. But truth is, Nails defended the title last week and now he can wait another thirty days before he defends it again. But I wanted to see how you'd do in a big match situation and I know you wanna get your hands on Nails". Nemesis: "You're damn right I do". NEMESIS LEAVES THE OFFICE AS STEPH GETS A SMIRK ON HER FACE. BACK AT RINGSIDE, MR. PERFECT's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE IC TITLE AROUND HIS WAITS AND HE IS FLANKED BY CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI AND THEY ARE WILDLY BOOED. J.R.: "We've got tag team action on the way as the brand new Intercontinental champion and his protege, make their way to the ring". Lawler: "I love these two J.R., if not for the puppies we see out here, they'd be the best part of the show"! "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AS ROB VAN DAM AND SABU COME OUT TO AN ENORMOUS POP. J.R.: "Well I know I wouldn't stand alone by disagreeing with that but as far as these fans go, these two are some of RAW's best"! Lawler: "Well Perfect's got a bone to pick with RVD"! J.R.: "No, it's the other way around. Perfect ducked a challenge from RVD, saying he wasn't in shape for the match last week and then helped Nowinski beat him that same night". Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Mr. Perfect & Christopher Nowinski RVD and Sabu came out fired up as Sabu hit Perfect with a hurracanrana and he and RVD then double clotheslined Nowinski to the floor. As Sabu hit Nowinski with a corkscrew suicide dive, RVD hit Perfect with a spinning heel kick followed by Rolling Thunder but Perfect managed to kick out at 2. RVD and Sabu completely dominated the match, working as a well oiled machine against an out of sync team. But RVD went to the top rope and went for a flying martail arts kick but Nowinski pulled referee Jim Korderas in the way and RVD drilled him right in the chops. Perfect then hit Sabu with a steel chair right in the face as he tried to jump at him off the announce table. In the ring, RVD was tied up with Nowinski but Nowinski reversed an irish whip and sent RVD right into the chair weilding Perfect who stood on the apron and cracked Van Dam across the skull. As Korderas slowly got up, Nowinski covered RVD for the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 8:09 J.R.: "Oh for god sake! I don't think there's any bargain basement victories left, these two jerks have taken them all"! Lawler: "AHAHAHAHA, that's two weeks in a row Nowinski has pinned RVD! How bout that for a Harvard grad"?! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL... PARKING GARAGE.... CAMERAS CATCH BAHAMUT COMING UP TO THE UNDERTAKER's CUSTOM MADE MOTORCYCLE WHICH IS GAURDED BY 3 UNIFORMED GAURDS. BAHAMUT TRIES TO GRAB THE BIKE BUT ONE OF THE GAURDS STANDS IN THE WAY. Gaurd: "Don't make another move". Bahamut: "Listen rent-a-cop, don't test me. This piece of crap is coming with me". Gaurd: "You wanna make a bet"? BAHAMUT THROWS THE GAURD ASIDE AND GETS ON THE BIKE, REVS UP THE ENGINE AND PULLS OUT AS THE OTHER TWO CALL FOR BACKUP. Lawler: "Hey, he can't do that"! J.R.: "He just did but what's The Undertaker gonna do when he finds this out"? COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... TWF RE-WIND SHOWS EDDIE GUERRERO CHALLENGING REY MYSTERIO LAST WEEK ON RAW. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio This was an absolutely fantastic match as expected. Eddie started things off by trying to take Mysterio's high flying attack away with a ground based offense but it didn't last long. Guerrero shot Mysterio to the corner but Rey grabbed the ropes and slung over the charging Guerrero, grabbing him around the head with his legs and flinging him head first into the turnbuckle. He then hit a springboard into a wheel barrow bulldog and hooked the leg but Guerrero got a shoulder up just in time. Off an irish whip, Mysterio used a leapfrog but Eddie turned and kicked him low and hit a high impact powerbomb for the 1....2...., but Rey escaped. But after missing with a clothesline, Eddie was hit with an amazing somersault kick and fell down over the second rope where Mysterio pulled out the 6-1-9. The crowd came to their feet as he called for the "West Coast Pop" but Eddie got out of the way. Rey kicked him in the gut and set him up for his sunset flip into a powerbomb but Eddie countered by sitting down on Rey's chest and grabbing the middle ropes to get a 3 count. Match Time: 9:05 J.R.: "Boy our referees are sure Johnny on the spot tonight"! Lawler: "What'd he do, I didn't see anything"! J.R.: "Of course ya didn't! You see what you wanna see and what you don't wanna admit is that Eddie just cheated to beat a man much smaller than him"! BACKSTAGE JEFF HARDY HAS JUST SIGNED AN AUTOGRAPH FOR AN ECSTATIC FAN WHEN CARNEY WALKS UP CARRYING A PRIMETIME DUFFEL BAG AND WEARING THE PRIMETIME T-SHIRT. Jeff Hardy: "Hey man". Carney: "Listen man, no hard feelings okay". Jeff: "Nah man, never. Best of luck to ya bro". Carney: "Same to you man, you'll get there, I know you will". THE 2 SLAP HANDS AND CARNEY WALKS AWAY. THE CAMERAS SHOW THE OUTSIDE OF THE WORLD ARENA AS "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND. J.R.: "There's a look into the beautiful Rocky Mountains on a gorgeous night but inside, it's another hectic night of RAW". THE NWO THEME HITS AS SCOTT HALL COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Lawler: "And here we go J.R. and even though I've become a big High Octane fan, I gotta go with Scott Hall here". AN ENGINE REVS AND HIGH OCTANE's MUSIC HITS AS HE AND NIDIA COME DOWN THE AISLE AND SHE IS SPORTING THE BRAND NEW HIGH OCTANE SHIRT AVAILABLE IN THE TWF MALL. J.R.: "Well I can't stand either one of them but I hate the NWO more and I don't care if I'm showing bias! They can go to hell"! Scott Hall vs. "High Octane" Damion West w/Nidia As the bell rang, Hall walked over to High Octane and threw his tooth pick in his face to which High Octane responded with a slap. But from there, it turned into a good match in which High Octane had to overcome a major size and strength disadvantage. Hall came out with a staggering attack, tagging High Octane with his knockout right hands. After a fallaway slam, Hall dusted his hands off before setting High Octane on the top rope backwards and hitting a backdrop suplex. Hall then slowly made his way over for a nonchalant cover but High Octane kicked out at 2 to the surprise of many. Hall kicked him in the gut and agressively pulled him in for the "Razor's Edge" but as he lifted him up, Nidia jumped on the apron and flashed Hall! He dropped West and when he turned around, he got blasted with the "Head on Collision". From there, High Octane went to the top rope and hit the 450 splash, aslo known as his "Octane Splash" and hooked the leg for the huge upset. Match Time: 8:02 J.R.: "He got him! This is a huge upset and on the night the NWO is gonna make a huge impact, they're off to a bad start"! Lawler: "Don't feel bad Scott, I would've dropped him to after seeing that"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA ARE STANDING WITH STRIFE. Strife: "Did you see what Bahamut did"? Jordan Rockwell: "Yeah, I love the guys guts. But I wanna make sure your gonna knock the crap outta the game tonight big man". Strife: "Ya know I will, but I'll make sho I leave some fa ya man". LILIAN GARCIA COMES UP. Lilian: "Jordan, I was told to inform you that King T of the GWF is out in the parking lot and he wants you out there now". Rockwell: "Really? See ya later Strife, when I get back, there won't be anything left of this chump"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK... CAMERAS ARE AT THE CAVE OF THE WINDS, A TOURIST ATTRACTION AS AKASHA COMES WALKING UP, HER BLACK BOUQUET OF ROSES STILL IN HER HAND. Lawler: "Where are we J.R."? J.R.: "Well I don't know, it's dark, but there's Akasha". JUST THEN, AKASHA IS BLINDSIDED BY SOMEONE CARRYING A WHIP AND BRUTALLY ASSAULTED. AS AKASHA WRITHES IN PAIN, JESSICA LOPEZ STEPS OUT OF THE MOONLIGHT. Jessica Lopez: "I can't believe the stupid bitch fell for that". LOPEZ WALKS AWAY, LEAVING AKASHA AT THE SCENE. J.R.: "Oh boy, I don't know if that was a wise move". Lawler: "Well she's trying to send a message to the women's champ but this one will carry a retaliation"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE NWO THEME HITS AS A SHADOWY HOCKEY MASK APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND FRANCINE LEADS NAILS TO THE RING. HE CARRIES THE TOUGHMAN TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. J.R.: "Well it hasn't been a great night for the NWO so far but Nails will not have to defend the title tonight". Lawler: "He defended it last week against Carney J.R., he shouldn't have to"! THE LIGHTS DIM AND THE WORD "REVENGE" APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON IN FLAMING LETTERS AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH HITS AND NEMESIS COMES OUT TO THE ROAR OF THE CROWD WEARING A LONG BLACK TRENCH COAT AND CARRYING A BASEBALL BAT. J.R.: "This one has slobberknocker written all over it as these two have tried to end each other's careers in the past and with Francine now in the corner of the NWO, that won't change a bit"! Lawler: "But if Nemesis wants to win and look good in the eyes of Stephanie, he better pretend like she's not even there"! J.R.: "Easier said than done". Nails w/Francine vs. Nemesis This was definitely the best match all night and maybe in the whole month of September. Nemesis began the battle by knocking Nails from one side of the ring to the other with his overpowering right hands that all found the mark. Nails was defenseless to the barrage Nemesis was throwing at him although his hockey mask did absorb a lot of the head shots. After catching Nails with a big boot off an irish whip, Nemesis set him up for the "Shut Down" but Francine got up on the apron. Instead of just hitting the move, Nemesis let go of Nails and went after Francine. This allowed Nails to get back into it with a chop block and a hard clothesline. Nails then tried to calm the pace, blatantly choking Nemesis and doing his best to keep the big man in a horizontal position. After three head jarring european uppercuts, Nails shot Nemesis to the corner and followed in but the alert Nemesis stuck a boot in his face. He went for the cover after running through him with a clothesline but Nails kicked out at 2. Nemesis went for a cover after each and every offensive move but he couldn't keep the reigning king of the toughman division down. But when Nails stumbled to his feet and walked right into a hard chokeslam. Francine jumped on the apron again but this time, Nemesis spun around and grabbed her by the throat! Referee Tim White came over and told Nemesis to let go alllowing Nails to sneak up from behind and deliver a low blow. Nails then rolled him up and used all his leg drive for leverage to get the 3 count. Match Time: 10:50 Lawler: "Nails has beaten this guy again J.R. and let Stephanie down in the process"! J.R.: "Not in my book. In my book Nemesis just wrestled one hell of a match and would be the winner without Francine's interference! Stephanie wanted to see Nemesis in a big match situation, not a handicapped match like that was"! MEANWHILE.... THE SCENE SHIFTS TO A MOUNTAINOUS FOREST LIKE SETTING IN WHICH BAHAMUT IS IN POSSESSION OF THE UNDERTAKER'S BIKE. WELL ABOVE TEH GROUND, THE BIKE TEETERS. Bahamut: "Undertaker, you wanna play games with me? Well you got me one more time at When World's Colllide. Only this time, I'm not only gonna make a statement, but I'm gonna make your respect me"! JUST THEN, HE PUSHES THE BIKE DOWN A CLIFF AND WATCHES IT FALL OVER 200 FEET TO THE GROUND. UPON HITTING THE GROUND, IT BREAKS INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES. Lawler: "This guy has a death wish"! J.R.: "Well he beat The Undertaker last month at MeltDown but just wait until you see what Taker will do once he gets Bahamut in that career shortening hell in a cell match in just over a week"! Lawler: "Party time's gonna be over"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES SPORTING HIS "PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY" T-SHIRT. J.R.: "Speaking of over, the game's shot at becoming undisputed champion is over for now, thanks to Steph"! Lawler: "Well he's got a gauranteed rematch that he will get eventually but what's on Triple H's mind tonight"! TRIPLE H ASKS FOR AND RECEIVES THE HOUSE MIC. Triple H: "Ya know, last week I got the news that I'm gonna have to wait to kick Jordan Rockwell's ass and get the TWF world title back and that pissed me off! But not as much as Hulk Hogan did when he got in my face and told me to make sure I deserve the shot! Let me tell you something Hogan, I deserve everything I've ever been given in this business and it's not because of some crap called Hulkamania! It's because I've earned it! CROWD LOUDLY BOOS. That's right, you used to be an idol to me Hogan but now, you're nothing more than a shriveled up waste ot time"! J.R.: "Now wait just a damn minute"! Triple H: "So Hogan, since you want me to earn the title shot, how about I do it against you? Oh yeah, I've wanted to kick your ass for a long time now and what better place to do it then at When World's Collide? Whatcha gonna do, brother"? Lawler: "He's challenged the Hulkster"! AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, "REAL AMERICAN" HITS AS THE CROWD COMES ABSOLUTELY UNGLUED TO SEE HULK HOGAN STANDING IN THE ENTRANCE. Hulk Hogan: "Ya know something Triple H, first off, you've got a match with Strife tonight that you better not overlook. But after that, you can start planning on facing the Hulkster brother! FANS CHEER Ya know, I can't count how many times a young guy like you has stood there and tried to talk down to me brother an call out Hulkamania. But if you think you got what it takes, then I will meet you at When World's Collide and we will find outy who the better man is"! J.R.: "Oh hell yeah, it's on for When World's Collide"! Hogan: "Now Triple H, the question is not what I'm gonna do, but what are you gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you"?! "REAL AMERICAN" PLAYS AND THE FANS ERUPT AS A FURIOUS TRIPLE STANDS IN THE RING SEETHING AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS RAW RETURNS, THE NWO THEME IS PLAYING AND KEVIN NASH MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE. J.R.: "This is thr third NWO member to be in action tonight folks and on what could be their last appearance in the TWF, they probabaly wanna end it on a high note". Lawler: "Don't even mention it J.R., it ain't gonna happen"! CHURCH BELLS RING AND PLAY INTO SAM WILDE's MUSIC AS HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "No doubt everything in this one favors Nash but don't count Sam Wilde out whatever you do". Lawler: "Well this ain't Sunday school J.R., Wilde's gettin' in their with one of the biggest and baddest of all time"! Kevin Nash vs. Sam Wilde Wilde was clearly overmatched as Wilde buried his elbows into his face and his knees into his gut. After catching Wilde with a big boot to the face to thwart a comeback attempt, Nash decided to toy with him a little bit. But after ducking a clothesline, Wilde dropkicked Nash in the left knee as Chono and Muta came down the aisle in their NWO shirts. Chono jumped on the apron but referee Mike Chioda got right in his face, telling him to go back. Meanwhile, Muta jumped up on the apron on the other side and spit his green mist but Wilde avoided it and it went right in the eyes of Nash! Wilde then somehow muscled the big man up for the "Testament of Wilde" and hooked the leg for the 3 count as Chono and Muta didn't even wanna stick around. Match Time: 3:10 Lawler: "No way, what are you idiots doing"! J.R.: "Oh King, if that mist would've caught Wilde, you'd be caling those two geniuses but in any case, the situation between Chono and Muta and the NWO has gotten worse"! A VERY ANGRY NASH IS SHOWN IN THE RING TRYING TO WIPE THE MIST FROM HIS EYES. Lawler: "Oh just wait until Nash finds them in the back"! J.R.: "Well folks, we are getting closer by the minute and we are now gonna announce the TWF's side of the card for When World's Collide. The interpromotional matches will be announced this coming Sunday at the press conference but here's what we know. A PROMO PICTURE FEATURING THE WHEN WORLD's COLLLIDE LOGO POPS UP FOR EACH MATCH AS THE THEME MUSIC FOR THE EVENT PLAYS. Hulk Hogan will play the game against Triple H"! Lawler: "Plus, Strife, who we're gonna see next against the game, has a huge grudge match with Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner"! J.R.: "And look at this one, in a Hell in a Cell match, The Undertaker goes one on one with Bahamut and that situation went from bad to worse earlier tonight when Bahamut actually launched Taker's bike off the top of a mountain"! Lawler: "And this one has just been signed as well, Akasha will defend her Women's title in a return match from MeltDown against Jessica Lopez"! J.R.: "Folks, this is a can't miss! Call your local cable company now and tell them you wanna see TWF/GWF When World's Collide because the only way you can do so is on pay-per-view"! "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AS TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION BUT THE BOOS SEEM TO DROWN OUT EVERYTHING ELSE. J.R.: "Well here comes the man who may very well put Hogan out for good. Now I know many have tried but never have they been as skilled as the cerebral assassin"! Lawler: "You could very well be right J.R."! "DESTINATION UNKNOWN" BY POD HITS AS STRIFE COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP. J.R.: "But here comes a guy who is becoming more and more popular with this crowd and who certainly has what it takes to defeat the game tonight and what a win it would be for Strife as he prepares for what should be a slobberknocker at When World's Collide with Scott Steiner"! Lawler: "This guy has all the tools J.R., he just hasn't figured out how to properly combine them yet and that's what sets Triple H apart from just about everybody else"! Triple H vs. Strife Triple H was surprisingly no match for the strength of the locomotive as he shoved him from one side of the ring to the other before catching him with a tilt-a-whirl powerslam that nearly got the fall. He then delivered a running shoulder breaker followed by a hip toss slam but he whipped Triple H to the ropes and put his head down too early and Triple H countered with a facebuster to the knee followed by a hard clothesline. That led to a big kneedrop to the forehead but Triple H couldn't even get 2 on the cover attempt. Triple H's right hands seemed to have no effect and Strife ducked a clothesline off an irish whip but Triple H caught him on the comeback with his flying knee to the face. He went for the cover 1.....2...., but Strife kicked out. Minutes later, Strife blocked a right hand and picked Triple H up for a military press slam. Only to drop him and catch him on his shoulder into a powerslam! Scott Steiner and Victoria made their way down the aisle and Steiner jumped on the apron but caught a hard right hand from Strife. But Victoria went around the ring and got referee Earl Hebner's attention as Triple H pushed Strife from behind and Steiner cracked him with his metal pipe. A small cut formed on Strife's forehead as he fell back and Triple H schoolboyed him for the 3 count. Match Time: 7:19 J.R.: "Good lord, we need two referees out here at all times anymore"! Lawler: "Look at this J.R., Steiner's not done"! STEINER THEN JUMPED INTO THE RING AND HE AND TRIPLE H BEGAN DOUBLE TEAMING A HELPLESS STRIFE WHEN HULK HOGAN CAME OUT FROM THE BACK AND THE CROWD CAME TO THEIR FEET. HOGAN GOT IN AND BLOCKED A RIGHT HAND FROM THE GAME BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH 3 OF HIS OWN AND CATCHING HIM WITH THE BIG BOTT OFF AN IRISH WHIP. STEINER CAME FROM BEHIND AND GAVE HOGAN A SHOT TO THE BACK BUT HE JUST BEGAN "HULKING UP". AFTER WAVING HIS INDEX FINGER IN STEINER's FACE, HOGAN POINTED OVER STEINER's SHOULDER AND STRIFE WAS WAITING WITH A THUNDEROUS CHOKESLAM AS "DESTINATION UNKNOWN" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND THE CROWD WENT NUTS AS HOGAN AND STRIFE STAYED IN AND PLAYED TO THEM FOR AWHILE. J.R.: "Oh hell yeah, things are a lot different when it's an even playing field aren't they"?! Lawler: "I just wouldn't wanna be in either of those guys' shoes at When World's Collide, Triple H and Steiner are gonna be ready as ever"! BACKSTAGE JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA ARE SHOWN WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY. Jordan Rockwell: "What a punk, I knew he wouldn't have the guts to show up". Lita: "He's just playing mind games Jordan, don't let him get to you, that's what he wants". ROCKWELL OPENS THE DOOR TO HIS DRESSING ROOM AND STOPS DEAD IN HIS TRACKS WHEN HE SEES "GWF" SPRAYPAINTED ON THE WALL IN RED AND LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR IS THE TWF TITLE WITH THE LETTERS "KT" SPRAYPAINTED ON IT. Rockwell: "Son of a bitch"! HE THROWS AN OPEN CAN OF POP AT THE WALL AND IT EXPLODES EVERYWHERE. J.R.: "Oh my God King, the GWF has gone too far this time, look what they've done"! Lawler: "They've desecrated the TWF Title"! OFF AIR......
