THE PHILIPS ARENA THEN CAME INTO VIEW, POUNDING WITH FIREWORKS AS THE FANS WERE SHOWN HAVING ONE HELL OF A TIME.

Jim Ross: "It is chaos, it is uncontrollable here in Atlanta and King, it's RAW"!

Jerry Lawler: "You're right on J.R. and the people here in Atlanta have come out in droves for the TWF"!

J.R.: "Atlanta was once the home of a prominent wrestling company but tonight, the TWF is gonna show the south a real party"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE RAW LOGO POPS UP SHOWING THE 16 MEN WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN TONIGHT's TAG TEAM BATTLE ROYALE.

Lawler: "Oh without a doubt! Look at this"!

J.R.: "Eight teams are gonna battle for a spot against Los Guerreros at WrestleMania for the RAW tag team belts........

"BASIC THUGANOMICS" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT, WEARING AN ATLANTA BRAVES JERSEY WITH CHIPPER JONES' NAME ON IT AND THE KING OF CABLETITLE BELT AROUND HIS WAIST. HE IS WELCOMED TO A HUGE POP.

but right now, it's time for some Thuganomics"!

Lawler: "Listen to this! They love this guy"!

John Cena: "Yo, yo, yo, I know the FCC might want me to shut my mouth.... but tonight, we in the dirty south!

THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER

Now before I get to this hardcore thing, I wanna hear everybody make some noise"!

THE ENTIRE CROWD GOES NUTS

Lawler: "Did you bring any earplugs J.R."?

Cena: "WrestleMania, I got three men that all want this belt. But this title on me looks as good as this Braves shirt, (he smiles) just about as good as Stacy Kiebler in a mini-skirt"!

J.R.: "How nice".

Lawler: "I'll agree with that call J.R."!

Cena: "So bring the show Joe Corey, bring the nice clothes Taylor and Pyro, if you bring the fire, I'll bring the smores cause come WrestleMania, John Cena's gonna settle three scores"!

"HELL's GUARDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT FILLS THE ARENA AND NAILS COMES OUT, PUSHING A BARREL FULL OF WEAP0NS.

Lawler: "Cena's on a roll J.R."!

J.R.: "Well he's gonna need to be tonight because this is about survival. Nails is one of the most ruthless men to ever compete in the TWF and tonight, with anything goes rules, I don't like Cena's chances"!

Lawler: "Hardcore wrestling has truly returned J.R."!

J.R.: "At WrestleMania there will be a Hardcore invitational in which a brand new Hardcore champion will be crowned and we will have more on that later".

Lawler: "Well we know Nails is in it".

J.R.: "Nails is in it and I'm sure he'd like to make an example of the King of Cable tonight and folks, if you remember back to this year's Royal Rumble, these two men battled in a match much like this".

Lawler: "John Cena got the best of Nails that night but I don't know if he can do it again".

Hardcore Rules/Non-Title

Nails vs. King of Cable John Cena

As the bell sounded, Nails pulled out a few items from the barrel and tossed them into the ring. He then reached under the ring and pulled out a standard sized wooden table and slid it in before getting in himself. Cena jumped on Nails with a rew hard shots but Nails seemed to be in a zone where nothing fazed him. After absorbing Cena's shots, he dropped him with a headbutt. He then pulled him up and drove a right hand into his gut before whacking him over the back with a kendo stick. Nails then picked up what looked like a trash can lid and teed off on Cena who just fell into the corner. Nails jumped on him like a rabid animal, choking him with both hands. After removing one of the turnbuckle pads, Nails went to ram Cena face first into the exposed bolt but Cena blocked it by putting his foot on the middle turnbuckle and elbowed Nails in the gut, then ramming him face first into it. Cena pulled off his now torn Braves jersey and picked up the kendo stick, holding it in the air as the crowd cheered. Cena popped Nails with the stick a few times before whipping him to the ropes and using it to clothesline him. Cena then stood over Nails but Nails kicked Cena right in his groin. Cena fell to one knee and Nails took the trash can lid, smacking him in the head. After a kick to the gut, Nails stuck him with a DDT and went for the cover but Cena was up at 2. After a scoop slam, Nails set up the table on all 4 legs and went outside, grabbing a steel chair. But when he brought it in, the never say die attitude of Cena showed through as he got in a quick right hand before hitting the ropes and connecting with the Throwback. Cena then put up the double horn Word Life sign before uncharacteristically going to the top rope. But Nails recovered and whipped his right knee with the kendo stick, knocking him to a straddling position on the top turnbuckle. After climbing up, Nails performed a move not seen for some time..... his top rope powerbomb, putting Cena right through the table and covering him for the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 14:06

J.R.: "What a way to start RAW but I think there are millions of John Cena fans wondering about his well being"!

Lawler: "I know three guys who have big smiles on their faces right now though! Pyromania, Corey and Taylor"!

J.R.: "Well if this is an indication of how the Hardcore Invitational is gonna be, I don't know if the ring is the best place for it"!

Lawler: "But it is gonna be like this J.R., you remember the Hardcore matches we used to have! And that man right there has gotta be the favorite to win"!

THE CAMERA SHOWS THE HOCKEY MASK OF NAILS AS HE WALKS UP THE RAMP. CENA IS SEEN IN THE RING, TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF UP.

Rue: "Well Shawn, Stephanie McMahon is scheduled to make her announcement as to who will compete in the interpromotional number one contenders match against Rob Van Dam at WrestleMania. Do you think it should be you"?

Michaels: "Well Rue, in just a minute, you'll find out what I think. I'm going to the ring".

AS RAW RETURNS, CAMERAS IN THE DRESSING ROOM SHOW TOMMY DREAMER AND JOHN HENNIGAN GETTING PREPARED TO COMPETE.

Tommy Dreamer: "Ya know John, this is a huge night for us. I've dreamed of wrestling at WrestleMania and tonight is our chance".

John Hennigan: "I know, wouldn't that be great"?

Dreamer: "Well, I've been wanting to tell you something".

Hennigan: "You have"?

Dreamer: "Yeah. I know I was a little mean at first cause I really didn't want a tag team partner. But now, I'm glad to have you on my team man".

Heenigan: "I'm glad you feel that way Tommy".

Dreamer: "I'll see you out there".

DREAMER LEAVES THE ROOM AS HENNIGAN JUST SMILES.

OUT IN THE HALLWAY, RUE COMES ACROSS ALEX MIRAN.

Rue: "Alex, can you give us your take on what happened last week with Gail Kim"?

Alex Miran: "My take? That bitch pretended to be my friend, just to stab me in the back. I should've listened to Jessica all along. But Gail, you and I have to finish this. So tonight, I want a shot at your Women's title, a title that.....

JUST THEN, JOE COREY COMES UP.

Joe Corey: "Hold on there girl, before you go making challenges, you should check the women's locker room. Gail's not even here tonight. But if you're looking for some action, I know I'd like a tune up before WrestleMania and if you can find yourself a partner, Alexis and I will take you on".

Miran: "I don't ever back down from a challenge, even if it is from a male.... so you're on. I'll get a partner".

ALEX QUICKLY WALKS AWAY AS COREY JUST SNICKERS.

BACK INSIDE THE PHILIPS ARENA, JUSTIN SANE IS IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC, "WE DON'T DIE" BY TWIZTED IS PLAYING.

JUST THEN, THE FANS GO WILD WHEN KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A WELCOME RESPONSE AS PYRO POPS OFF BEHIND HIM.

J.R.: "In just about eight days time, this man will climb into the ring to battle for the World title"!

Lawler: "Yeah it's a great story J.R., going from Comeback wrestler of the year to World champ, but he's gotta get through The Undertaker first".

J.R.: "The Undertaker and his family is already in Toronto to help promote WrestleMania but you can bet he took time out of his schedule to tune in on TSN tonight and watch RAW".

Lawler: "And especially this match, Justin Sane could pull the upset here".

Kurt Angle vs. Justin Sane

Angle came out lik a caged animal, taking Sane to the mat and smashing him with some clubbing forearms to the head. From a front face lock position, he took him down with a spinning neackbreaker before pulling him up and whipping him to the ropes. But after missing with a clothesline, Angle caught Sane's foot but was dropped with a dragon whip kick that stunned him for a minute. After a couple knifedge chops, Sane went for a whip to the corner but Angle reversed it right into an overhead belly to belly suplex. He then slapped on the ankle lock but Sane was able to scurry to the ropes. Angle waited for him to get up and Sane exploded through him with a clothesline. He then pulled him up and had him positioned for a Rude Awakening style neckbreaker but Angle countered it right into the "Angle Slam" and hooked the leg for the 1.......2......3.

Match Time: 4:17

Lawler: "Oh my gosh, it's over"!

J.R.: "The hunt for the World title is on and although The Undertaker is on one hell of a reign, this Olympian is hungry".

ANGLE WALKS AWAY TO A LOT OF CHEERS AS THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE JOHN CENA IS SHOWN WITH STACY KIEBLER. CENA IS HOLDING AN ICEPACK TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK.

Stacy Kiebler: "Are you sure you're gonna be okay"?

Cena: "Yeah, the ice is helping".

Stacy: "Ya know cause I can give a pretty good massage".

Cena: "Uh.......

JUST THEN, AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES UP.

Austin Pyromania: "Uh.... I don't think so. Ya know Cena, I'm really starting to get sick of this crap".

Cena: "Oh you are huh"?

THEY GET FACE TO FACE.

Stacy: "Guys, guys come on".

THEY START PUSHING AND SHOVING AND STACY TRIES TO STOP THEM BUT IS INADVERTENTLY KNOCKED INTO A WALL. SHE FALLS TO THE GROUND, HOLDING HER HEAD AS CENA BACKS OFF.

Pyromania: "Look what you did"!

Cena: "Look what I did? Man you're the one who got all hurt about us talking. Man forget you, I'm gonna go get a medic"!

PYROMANIA CHECKS ON STACY AS CENA WALKS AWAY.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, STEPHANIE McMAHON IS IN THE RING AS "ALL GROWN UP" IS PLAYING.

J.R.: "That doesn't look good at all back there".

Lawler: "Shhh J.R., the boss is out here".

Stephanie McMahon: "First off, I wanted to thank everyone here in Atlanta for coming out tonight and make sure you all catch WrestleMania five because, just like the saying goes, we're just getting started!

THE CROWD CHEERS VERY LOUDLY

Now, onto another matter. As you know, one of the main attractions of this year's WrestleMania is a match that will pit one man from RAW against one man from PrimeTime. Now we already know that Rob Van Dam has been selected to represent PrimeTime. So without any further adieu, let's find out who will represent RAW"!

Lawler: "Who's it gonna be J.R."?

Stephanie: "You all know him because he has done it all in this business. So at WrestleMania, it's gonna be Rob Van Dam versus...... the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels"!

"SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

Lawler: "It's Shawn Michaels! That'll be one heck of a match J.R."!

J.R.: "Hmmm, I misread that one, I thought she was gonna go in another direction, no disrespect to HBK of course".

Stephanie: "Now Shawn, I know you've had a couple tough losses lately, but to me, you are the most deserving man on RAW. After all, what would WrestleMania be without Shawn Michaels"?

THE CROWD CHEERS IN AGREEMENT.

Shawn Michaels: "Well Steph, thank you for the kind words. But I hate to say it, but we're gonna have to find out what it'd be like without me".

J.R.: "What"?

Michaels: "My back has been killing me lately Steph and I honestly don't think I could give these people what they're gonna pay to see against a superstar like RVD. Not only that, but I've had my heyday Steph, I've been to the top and back, it's time for another man to step into that role. We all know who I'm talking about, so Damion, come on out here buddy"!

AN ENGINE REVS AND "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS, LEADING HIGH OCTANE OUT TO A RAVE POP.

Lawler: "I can't believe what I'm seeing J.R."!

J.R.: "Shawn Michaels is apparently handing the WrestleMania spot to High Octane"!

Shawn Michaels: "Steph, I present to you the man that should be in that match at WrestleMania..... High Octane Damion West".

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS.

Stephanie: "Okay then, it's set, Rob Van Dam......

THE CIVIL RIGHTS THEME HITS AND TEDDY LONG COMES OUT IN A PURPLE SUIT WITH NATHAN JONES BY HIS SIDE.

J.R.: "Now what"?!

Teddy Long: "Hold on a minute! Stephanie, you gave me your word that you would consider the Collossus of Bogo Road for that match and all I see is the same two crackers in the ring that have been getting the shots all along! My man here Brother Jones is ready and he's pounded everyone that's been put in front of him! We want......

Stephanie: "Okay, okay, I did say that. So this is what I'm gonna do. High Octane, you're gonna face Nathan Jones tonight and the winner is going to WrestleMania to face Rob Van Dam"!

TEDDY LONG GETS AN EAR TO EAR GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "Yeah.... how's that sound HBK"?!

J.R.: "Well it's gonna be an uphill climb for High Octane but as much as I hate to admit it, it is fair"

THE SHOT FADES OUT AS RAW GOES TO BREAK.

J.R.: "Welcome back to RAW everyone and it is my pleasure to introduce the RAW tag team champs, Eddie and Chavo Guerrero and King, this is what you call color commentary".

Eddie Guerrero: "Odule King, how you doin' J.R."?

J.R.: "I'm doin' fine".

Lawler: "Okay guys, I got a question. Of all the teams that are in that ring right now, which one would you most like to face"?

Eddie Guerrero: "You know what King, now that Eddie and I are on the same wavelength, there's not a team here on RAW that can be us for these belts so we really don't care".

Eddie: "We just wanna see them all beat the hell out of each other".

J.R.: "Several strong teams are in that ring and the rules work this way, if you are eliminated by being tossed over the top rope and to the floor, then your partner must leave the match too and the winner will go to WrestleMania to face Los Guerreros for the RAW tag team gold".

Battle Royale to determine #1 contenders for RAW Tag Team Titles

Some of the TWF's top teams were in this one. Shelton Benjamin and Mark Jindrak, John Hennigan and Tommy Dreamer, the New Road Warriors, Val Venis and Sam Wilde, Christopher Nowinski and Goldust, The Bashams and La Resistance. Also in the match were Steven and Matt Wilkins, also known to M.O.W. fans as Cleveland's Finest. TWF officials have been very high on the team and offered them a chance to compete. But after about 4 minutes with ni eliminations, Matt Wilkins became the match's first casualty, courtesy of Mark Jindrak. Right when Jindrak turned around, he caught a spinning heel kick from John Hennigan that knocked him out of the ring. Shelton Benjamin was very frustrated about the team's early exit. But as Hennigan taunted the two men, the veteran Val Venis came from behind and tossed him over the top rope and out of the match. On the other side of the ring, The Bashams and La Resistance had a great exchange against each other as Jon Heidenreich pounded Goldust with a big kick to the face. Animal and Nowinski struggled in the corner but as Heidenreich attempted to lift Goldust, both Venis and Sam Wilde came from behind, grabbing one of his legs and lifting him to the floor. Venis then caught a huge clothesline from Nowinski that took him out of the ring. As Wilde went to leave the match as the rules state, Nowinski and Goldust put him down with a double clothesline. They then picked him up and both men tossed Wilde over the top rope, into the awaiting arms of Venis. But from behind came La Resistance, each with their own French flag and they popped Nowinski and Goldust, knocking both of them out of the ring. The match was down to The Basham Brothers and La Resistance and for the next 6 minutes, the two teams had one heck of a finish with a spot at WrestleMania on the line. After ducking a backhand, Sylvan Grenier went for a clothesline on Danny Basham but he was thinking the same thing and they took each other out. Victoria then got on the apron, seductively calling Rene Dupree over. Rene acted like he was gonna go for it as Doug Basham positioned himself behind him. But when he went for the kill, Dupree sidestepped him and threw him right into Victoria, knocking her to the floor before clotheslining him out of the ring to get his team the win.

Match Time: 16:10

Lawler: "Viva la France! La Resistance did it J.R."!

Chavo: "Viva la what King"?

Eddie: "Yeah homes, what are you trying to pull vato"?!

EDDIE AND CHAVO STAND UP, STALKING LAWLER UNTIL THEY NOTICE DUPREE AND GRENIER LOOKING AT THEM FROM THE RING WITH 2 HUGE SMILES ON THEIR FACES AS THEIR MUSIC PLAYED.

J.R.: "For the third time on pay-per-view, Los Guerreros will meet La Resistance for the RAW tag team titles"!

Eddie: "We'll be ready for those chumps J.R., we want it now"!

J.R.: "Well it's gotta wait, you'll get your shot"!

THE TWO TEAMS JUST STARE EACH OTHER DOWN AS THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

BACKSTAGE.....

TAYLOR MADE IS SHOWN MESSING AROUND WITH TERRI AND DESIRE IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN ALEX MIRAN SLOWLY WALKS UP.

Terri: "What the heck do you want"?

Alex Miran: "Uh, actually I was wondering if I could speak with Matt".

Desire: "That's Taylor made.....get it straight".

Taylor Made: "Excuse me ladies.

TAYLOR WALKS OVER TO ALEX AND PUTS HIS ARM AROUND HER SHOULDER. SHE SEEMS UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT STILL BEGINS TO SPEAK.

Taylor: "So uh, what did you want the T-man for"?

Alex: "Well, I kinda got myself into a tag team match with Joe Corey and Alexis Laree. I need a partner and he mentioned that he needed a tune up before WrestleMania so I figured maybe you would too".

Taylor: (laughs) "Oh, so you want me to be your partner? You know you're gonna have to make this up to me".

Alex: "Will you be my partner or not"?

Taylor: "Yeah.... I'll see you out there".

ALEX SMILES AND WALKS AWAY AS TAYLOR LOOKS AT HER FROM BEHIND. TERRI AND DESIRE DON'T SEEMED AMUSED BY THIS.

J.R.: "WrestleMania is getting closer by the minute. Do you remember that moment King"?

"DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC HITS AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OUT TO A DECENT POP.

Lawler: "Of course I do J.R., but that fake Andre the Giant was a joke"!

J.R.: "Well what wasn't a joke is what happened to young Stacy Kiebler earlier tonight during a scuffle between this man and John Cena".

Lawler: "Oh come on J.R., we both know it was Pyromania's fault, just say it"!

J.R.: "I'm not gonna put the blame on either man but I will tell those concerned that Stacy was checked out by paramedics who are on site tonight and she is gonna be okay, however they have asked her to stay backstage during this match".

Lawler: "Now Pyro gets to go from worrying about sexy Stacy to worry about the hairy A-Train"!

J.R.: "The three hundred and fifty pound A-Train".

A-Train vs. Austin Pyromania

As the bell sounded, Pyromania looked for a way to attack A-Train but the massive superstar just shoved him to the mat. Pyromania threw a few right hands to the gut but A-Train didn't even feel it, throwing him across the ring with a beal. But A-Train mistimed a big splash and Pyromania knocked him back with a dropkick. He then hit the ropes but A-Train barreled over him with a clothesline. He then picked him up, shooting him to the corner and following in with a big avalanche. It looked dim for Pyro as A-Train hoisted him onto his shoulders, in position for the "Train Wreck" but Pyromania was able to slip off and after ducking a quick clothesline, he kicked the big man in the midsection and hit the "Pyrotechnics", immediately topping him for the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 2:33

Lawler: "He didn't get him did he"?!

"DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" HIT AND PYROMANIA SLID OUT OF THE RING WITH THE WIN.

J.R.: "He did get him King and despite everything else that's going on, that may've been just what the doctor ordered heading into WrestleMania"!

Lawler: "Yeah, for him! I'm gonna be really upset if Stacy's not there"!

THE SHOT FADES OUT WITH A-TRAIN IN THE RING, TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS.

Nemesis: "What's that"?

NAILS GETS UP IN HIS FACE

Nails: "I wanna see the old Nemesis. The one who kicked everybody's ass with no regard for anything! The one who was....dare I say....as hardcore as me"!

Nemesis: "So what are you saying"?

Nails: "I'm saying, for old times sake....get in this Hardcore Invitational. There's still a few spots open from what I was just told".

Nemesis: "The Hardcore Invitational. You and I in there together would be pure evil. I'm in".

NAILS STARTS TO LAUGH AS THE SCENE CHANGES.

TWF RE-WIND

SHOWS STRIFE POWERBOMBING TRIPLE H OFF THE STAGE AND INTO THE SOUND EQUIPMENT LAST WEEK ON RAW.

"LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HITS AND TAYLOR MADE IS LED TO THE RING BY TERRI AND DESIRE. ABOUT 10 FEET BACK IS A DISTRESSED LOOKING ALEX MIRAN.

J.R.: "We're back on RAW and we are ready for our intergender tag team match but first King, we wanna update everyone on the situation of Triple H. Believe it or not, after what you just saw, the game suffered only minor bumps and bruises and said he will be able to go at WrestleMania".

Lawler: "Well I feel sorry for Strife, he's in for a long night. But poor Alex Miran looks about as happy now as the game did last week"!

J.R.: "Well I don't think she's too thrilled about teaming up with Taylor Made".

Lawler: "And she has to pay him back for this ya know".

“Basic Thuganomics” hits and the crowd jumps to their feet. A few seconds later, “The Show” Joe Corey runs onto the stage, putting up the Word Life symbol with Alexis Laree who is carrying his water bottle.

J.R.: "What is the meaning of this"?

The Atlanta crowd starts to boo when they notice that Corey is wearing a Sammy Sosa Chicago Cubs jersey and Alexis Laree is wearing a Toronto Raptors basketball jersey-dress. Corey enters the ring with a big smile on his face.

Joe Corey: "Yo, yo, yo, all you Atlanta fans seem to have gone numb. You’d think this was a Braves playoff game and I was a Chicago Cub. Everyone heard the music hit, and there was a buzz throughout the arena. But you people got me instead, not that pussy John Cena. He’ll come out here yelling, “You can’t see me”. The only way he’ll win this Sunday is if he’s shooting THG. Those three men better realize that I am ready, willing, and able. This Sunday, “The Show” takes what is rightfully his, and that’s the King of Cable.

The crowd starts to boo

The only good thing about Cena is there is not masquerade. If I wanted to see a phony, I’d look at Taylor Made. None of this would have started if you hadn’t entered my match. Nothing will prepare you for the ass kicking you will catch. Your body is gonna be laden with bumps, bruises, and cuts. Nothing will be able to console you, not even your two sluts.

The crowd cheers as Taylor Made kicks the ring ropes in anger.

There is nothing you can do. The result is set in stone. When the match is over, you will be like Cena, in a hotel room all alone. That brings me to Austin Pyromania, the fourth corner of the square. He doesn’t need to worry about me, but the chick with the blonde hair. You think Stacy is with you, but she is nowhere to be found. Maybe you’ll find her with Cena, when your hopes come crashing to the ground. No matter what you do on Sunday, this all will come to an end. And there is no way I am losing, cause I have a will that will not bend. There is a lesson to be learned and I am taking those three to class. When it is over, you can all say the same thing, The Show kicked my ass. WORD LIFE"!

Lawler: "Wow....eat your heart out John Cena"!

J.R.: "Wherever Cena is, I'm sure he's not that impressed but you gotta admit folks, this Corey has confidence and we could very well be looking at the next King of Cable"!

Intergender Tag Team Match

"The Show" Joe Corey and Alexis Laree vs. Taylor Made and Alex Miran w/ Terri and Desire

Alexis and Alex started the match off and their was no hair pulling, these women took to it on the mat. Laree used a headscissor to to try and wear down Miran but the skillful former Women's champ escaped her clutches and took her over with a standard hip toss. Off an irish whip, Alex hit a nice dropkick and Alexis ducked out of the ring. But a focused Miran went outside and rolled her back in. But Alexis turned and kicked her right in the mouth before slapping her across the face. Alexis then shot her to the corner but she slowly ran in and gave Miran time to feed her a back elbow, followed by another dropkick. Miran then tagged in Taylor who stood across Alexis with a smile on his face. But she quickly tagged in Corey who stepped through the ropes and the two men locked up. Corey backed him to the corner but referee Jim Korderas stepped in and broke the men up. After another lockup, Taylor grabbed him with a side headlock but Corey backed him into the ropes and sent him for the ride, dropping him with a hard shoulder tackle. Corey then pulled him up for an inverted atomic drop but after hitting the ropes, Taylor met him with a hook kick to the head. Taylor then went for the "Customizer" but Corey found the ropes in a hurry. Taylor was told to back off but he did only for a second before stomping at Corey's lower legs, trying to set up his finishing hold. Corey pulled himself up using the ropes and kicked Taylor in the stomach and then again before hitting a hard clothesline. He thought about making the tag but decided not too, pulling Taylor in for a quick snap suplex. From there, he pulled him up for another but flipped him over into his standing dragon sleeper. But in order to break the hold, Miran came off the top rope, dropkicking Corey. Corey fell back and tagged in Alexis. As Korderas did his best to get Miran out, Corey grabbed his water bottle and squirted a good amount of water in Taylor's face as he lunged at him through the ring ropes. As Taylor fell back, trying to clear his eyes, Laree schoolboyed him to get the 1.......2.......3.

Match Time: 7:34

Lawler: "Oh no! That didn't just happen"!

J.R.: "I'm as stunned as you are King! Taylor Made has been pinned by Alexis Laree"!

COREY AND ALEXIS WALKED AWAY TO A LOT OF BOOS AS "LYING FROM ME" BY LINKIN PARK PLAYS.

Lawler: "Well I know Taylor is used to getting pinned by women, but this is not the way he wanted it"!

J.R.: "And with that, Joe Corey may be heading into the four way at WrestleMania with more momentum than anyone"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute J.R., look at this"!

JUST THEN, GAIL KIM APPEARS ON THE TOP OF THE STAGE WITH HER WOMEN's TITLE AND DRESSED IN STREET CLOTHES, JUST LAUGHING AT MIRAN.

J.R.: "What the hell is this? I thought she wasn't here tonight"!

Lawler: "Well apparently she was"!

J.R.: "She's ducking Miran... that's what she's doing! She's ducking her"!

Lawler: "Well RVD, if you're watching, I'd be rooting for High Octane here! I would not want to face Nathan Jones"!

J.R.: "It's a tall task for Damion West tonight but what a classy move by Shawn Michaels to hand his friend and protege the spot Stephanie McMahon gave him".

Lawler: "He really is giving him a chance to be the next Heartbreak Kid J.R., but I think Nathan Jones is gonna squash those thoughts tonight"!

Nathan Jones w/ Brother Long vs. "High Octane" Damion West

Fans expecting a long, drawn out main event did not get one as this ended very abruptly. Jones dominated the opening minute of the match, throwing the much smaller High Octane around the ring. But his one mistake, a missed clothesline, led to a superkick right on the chin. Jones rocked backwards until High Octane connected with another "Head on Collision", but this one had more behind it and Jones fell like a ton of bricks. Long screamed in despair as High Octane covered the monster for the 1.......2........3.

Match Time: 2:05

"DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HIT AND THE CROWD WENT NUTS.

J.R.: "Are you kidding me? I didn't think that was possible"!

Lawler: "I'm shocked! I'm stunned J.R."!

J.R.: "High Octane is going to WrestleMania to face Rob Van Dam! Oh WrestleMania is getting better by the minute"!
