FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM SATURDAY NIGHT's MAIN EVENT. FIREWORKS THEN POP THROUGH THE ARENA. Jim Ross:"We have returned to Cajun Country, just days after a new TWF champion was crowned"! Paul Heyman:"Go ahead and say it J.R., the rattlesnake, the rattlesnake! "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is the new TWF champion"! "NO CHANCE" HITS AS VINCE AND HIS ALLIANCE COME OUT. J.R.:"That he is and it looks like we're about to be joined by those wonderful souls". Vince:"Ah yes, the great state of Louisiana, also known as the hell hole of the planet. (Fans loudly boo) How long did it take me to get what I want? Huh? Answer me damn it"! FANS CONTINUE TO BOO Heyman:"These idiots need to show some respect"! Vince:"In just over two weeks, I've accomplished my main goals. I've put Mick Foley out of the TWF and I've taken the title from Travis Wakeman. All you people need to get used to what you've been watching lately". Austin:"All you people may be upset about my actions lately but I don't give a crap! This right here is what I wanted. (he holds up the TWF title) It means more to me than a bunch of idiots who ain't got nothin' better to do than to come here and watch me beat people up. So whether you like it or not, there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it"! Heyman:"That's the damn truth"! J.R.:"It may very well be". TRIPLE H GRABS THE MIC Triple H:"What all you people have witnessed lately is exactly what you should've expected. Total destruction and violence. That was never more apparent than on Saturday Night's Main Event. Snuka got in our way, his washed up ass went to the hospital. By the way, ha ha, which move did you like better, the Pedigree to Trish Stratus or when Austin Stunned her"? J.R.:"Very funny". SUDDENLY, TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND SHAWN MICHAELS COME OUT OF THE CROWD AND TAKE ON THE ENTIRE ALLIANCE. BUT IT WAS 5 ON 2 AND THE ALLIANCE QUICKLY TOOK THE ADVANTAGE AS VINCE YELLED OUT INSTRUCTIONS UNTIL "IF YA SMELLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN' BLASTED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS. J.R.:"Oh my! The Rock is back"! MOST OF THE ALLIANCE SCATTERED BUT THE ROCK CAUGHT VINCE AND DROPPED HIM WITH THE "ROCK BOTTOM" AS THE CROWD WENT NUTS. J.R.:"Oh yeah! That's been a long time coming"! Heyman:"What is The Rock doing? His arms can't be healed already! He should be fired"! SHORT INTERMISSION...GATES OF HELL's MUSIC HITS... J.R.:"Well folks, what a start to tonight's show as we get set for tag team action. Also tonight, the Women's, Lightheavyweight and Intercontinental titles will all be on the line and Chris Benoit will take on Electric Coma later". Heyman:"The Rock must be out of his mind! He Rock Bottomed the owner of this company"!
This was a chaotic match that didn't last too long. Strife started out by opening up on both men. He gave Nails a good beating before Nails made the tag to The Leviathan. Leviathan and Strife had a brief skirmish before The Big Show demanded to get in the ring. Big Show came in off the tag and he and The Leviathan had a great showdown. Strife and Nails then began to go at it outside the ring which distracted referee Chad Patton. Paul Bearer then handed The Leviathan a brick and he cold cocked The Big Show. Then, in one of the most amazing instances in RAW history, The Leviathan actually got the 500 pound Big Show up for his powerbomb, dropping him directly on the back of his neck to get the pin.
Match Time: 4:59
J.R.:"Oh my god what impact"!
Heyman:"Can you believe that? The Leviathan just did the unthinkable to The Big Show"!
JERRY LYNN's MUSIC HITS.
J.R.:"Here comes one of the upcoming stars on the roster and this guy has a great future ahead of him".
Heyman:"Jerry Lyy is an accomplished wrestler J.R. and he's got a chance to make a huge statement here".
This was a great match between 2 of the top lightheavyweights around. Weapon R had Lynn perplexed early with his martial arts background and got 2 near falls. But after a big ddt, Lynn came back. He caught Weapon R with a big powerslam followed by his finisher, the "Whole Show". But Weapon R held on by getting his foot on the bottom rope just in time. But Lynn kept the pressure on with a jumping knee drop and a backbreaker and moments later, hit him with the "Whole Show" again in the center of the ring to win it.
Match Time: 7:25
J.R.:"Lynn has done it! This man is tearin' through the competition"!
Heyman:"And he's doing it against good competiton"!
TEAM GEORGIA's MUSIC HITS; MADDOGG AND KING KILLER COME OUT.

THE DUDLEY BOYZ' MUSIC HITS
Heyman:"Oh boy, it's the masters of the table match! The eight time ECW tag team champs! Good luck to Team Georgia"!
It was clear early on what Team GA's. game plan was. To fight outside the ring. They did just that as the fight went all over the arena. But The Dudleys were up for the fight as they gave as much punishment as they took. It was a pretty even fight until Buh Buh caught Maddogg with his "Buh Buh Bomb". The Dudleys had Maddogg in position for the "3D" when King Killer came from behind and threw Buh Buh out of the ring. Buh Buh was not the legal man in the match but referee Teddy Long counted him out anyway, allowing Team GA. to pick up a huge win.
Match Time: 4:43
J.R.:"Oh come on Teddy! How many matches are you gonna screw up"?
Heyman:"He sure does have problems sometimes".

Heyman:"I'd like to do that to Terri too but come on, that's sexual harrassment"! J.R.:"Well folks, two of the top young tandems in the TWF are set to sqaure off here". THE HARDY BOYZ' MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD GOES NUTS. Heyman:"Why do these people like these punks"?
This was great tag team action that really got the crowd up. Both teams exhibited great continuity. The Hardy's looked better early as Matt was teaching Steve Well a wrestling lesson while Jeff and Johnny Dunn fought outside the ring. But Well Dunn hung tough and turned it into their type of match. Jeff had Johnny Dunn finished off as he was on the top rope poised to hit the "Swanton Bomb". But after ramming Matt into the ring steps, Steve Well got on the apron and pushed Jeff off. As he landed, Dunn rolled him up and put 2 feet on the middle ropes for extra leverage to win it.

J.R.:"Well Dunn has gone to the bargain basement for a win"!
Heyman:"A win is a win cowboy and that's the biggest one of their careers"!

Jordan Rockwell vs. Justin Credible
With X-Factor and The New Breed as the lumberjacks, it didn't take long for a brawl to ensue. Rockwell controlled Credible in the ring and he kept the match at his pace. He pounded Credible with a missile dropkick off the top rope and an overhead belly to belly suplex. But after ducking a clothesline attempt, Credible scored with a superkick and went up to the top rope. But Shawn O'Haire emerged from the melee and swept Credible's feet out from under him, causing him to straddle the turnbuckle. Seizing the oppurtunity, Rockwell hit him with "Extreme Measures" off the top rope to win it.

The New Breed quickly left as X-Factor was outraged.
Heyman:"This situation is far from over"!

This match between former best friends didn't last too long. Scotty was in control and out to prove a point. He dropped Christopher with his 2 handed bulldog and set him up for the "Worm". But when he flung his arms back, he clobbered referee Jim Korderas. Suddenly, Mike Norton and Test came out of the crowd and into the ring. Norton clotheslined Scotty and then whipped him into Test's running boot to the face. Korderas began to come to his senses just as Christopher came flying off the top rope with the "Tennessee Jam" to beat Scotty.

Raven vs. The Brutile Bulldog
The hard shots in this one rang through the arena as the newest edition to the hardcore scene took on an established veteran. Bulldog had things going his way early after using a trash can to knock Raven out of the ring. Outside the ring, Raven looked for weapons. The Bulldog tried a psychotic suicide dive but Raven moved. Raven then bowled the Bulldog over with a shopping cart. Raven pounded on him with everything in sight and then rolled him back into the ring. But Terri got on the apron on the other side but Raven grabbed her by the hair. The Bulldog then lowblowed Raven from behind and tried to hit him with a trash can lid. But Raven ducked and dropped him with the "Raven Effect" and just like that, it was over.

As soon as the bell rang, the 2 women shook hands and locked up. After several arm drags by Taylor, Gold came back with a northern lights suplex. Gold kept the pressure on Taylor when a tall woman with a pale face and dark red lipstick entered the ring dressed in a black leather outfit. She went straight for Gold, beating her up badly. Taylor tried to help Gold but she was no match for the woman who piledrove them both and left the ring.
Heyman:"Look at the size of that woman"!
J.R.:"That's Xstasy! She was recently signed to a contract and she's been looking for a way to make an impact"!

YUJI MATASAMO's MUSIC HITS J.R.:"Well it's gonna be a short title reign for this man if he can't get by him".
Challenger.... Essa Rios vs. Yuji Matasamo
This match pitted the lucha libre style of Rios against the Japanese technique of Matasamo. Truly 2 of the best lightheavyweights in the world. Matasamo's martial arts chops stung Rios early but Rios caught a break when Matasamo missed a back flip off the top rope. Rios dropkicked him over the top rope to the floor and went for a flipping suicide dive where he completely jumped over the turnbuckle. But Matasamo scurried out of the way and Rios slammed into the barracade. Matasamo then rolled him back into the ring and applied a nerve hold which numbed Rios' body. He then caught him with a devastating heel kick. With firm grasp on a victory, Matasamo set Rios up on the top turnbuckle and used a reverse frankensteiner to get the victory.
Match Time: 3:49
J.R.:"That's it. Matasamo's retained the title in impressive fashion".
Heyman:"That's the move he won the title with".
J.R.:"Yeah, after a developmentally contracted wrestler used a bamboo stick on his opponent. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see the lightheavyweight division succeed here in the TWF cause I know it's something that's been worked on extensively".

J.R.:"Jake Roberts is gonna put the Intercontinental title on the line here. He's been an impressive champion to this point".
Challenger.... Ken Shamrock vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts
This was an intense match with a lot in the line. The Snake jumped out early on Shamrock with stiff jabs and knee lifts. Soon thereafter, he hit Shamrock with his patented DDT but Shamrock kicked out at 2! Roberts was in disbelief as Shamrock got a serious look in his eyes and he began to take the snake apart. He applied several submission holds to both legs and both arms, in an attempt to take Roberts apart systematically. After a hurracanrana, Shamrock was set to win the title when Papa Shango sneakily came out from the back towards the ring. Paul Bearer got up on the apron and distracted referee Tim White when Shango tossed Roberts what appeared to be a bone. Roberts struck Shamrock in the throat with an upward motion with the object. Roberts then buried Shamrock with the DDT as White turned around and counted the three.
Match Time: 6:48
SHAMROCK ROLLED AROUND THE RING GASPING FOR AIR AND CLUTCHING HIS THROAT.
Heyman:"It seems like Shamrock's having breathing problems J.R.".
J.R.:"Gee, I wonder why. Shamrock got jobbed"!
Heyman:"All the negativity around the wrestling world about Jake needs to stop. About how he's a washed up drug addict. He's held that title for how long now and successfully defended it what, one thousand times"?

J.R.:"It could be the end of one of their careers".
Val Venis vs. Chris Jericho
This was an intense match. Both men wanted the victory badly and had a win at all costs attitude. Both men used the cage to their advantage, ramming each other into it. Jericho even went as far as to grind Venis' face against it. Jericho got a huge pop when he took his shirt off and put it over Venis' head. He then came off the top rope with a missile dropkick. But Venis removed the shirt nad quickly turned the tide. He caught Y2J with a spinebuster as he came off the ropes. Venis then began to ascend the cage. But Y2J made it to his feet and followed him. Both men were at the very top of the cage trading shots. Suddenly, Jericho lost his footing and gota foot stuck in the cage. As Jericho hung upside down, Venis had clearance to escape. But Val knocked Y2J's foot loose, sending him on a free fall to the mat! He landed very awkwardly on his neck and laid motionless. Val then escaped the cage to win the match as EMT's ran down with a gurney.
