THE SHOT OPENS INSIDE THE INCREDIBLY LOUD SPORTS AUTHORITY FIELD LOCATED IN WEST DENVER AND THE CAMERA IS PANNING THROUGHOUT THE STANDS, GETTING A GREAT LOOK AT A WILD SEA OF EXCITED TWF FANS. SOME OF THE CROWD, REALIZING SOMEONE HAS ALREADY COME OUT TO THE RING, HAS BEGAN BOOING.

THE CAMERA GOES INTO THE RING AND SHOWS CODY RHODES DOWN ON ONE KNEE IN WHAT HAS COME TO BE KNOWN AS "TEBOWING". RHODES GETS UP FROM THE POSE AND ASKS FOR A MICROPHONE.

Cody Rhodes: "Now I'm not much of a football fan, but you'd have to be living in a closet not to have heard about Tim Tebow.

THE FANS LET OUT A MIXED RESPONSE BUT THE MAJORITY ARE CHEERS.

But I don't see why. I don't see why a guy who is so average at what he does, gets the attention that this man is getting. And this company, the one I have given myself to for the last five years doesn't even give me an opportunity to show you what I can do at the biggest show of the year. See, unlike Tim Tebow, I'd come out here and show this stadium what the best in the business can do. I'd come out here and show you all....... just how good I really am. And unlike Tim Tebow, I wouldn't rely on divine intervention or anyone doing a stupid pose to help me win..... I'd rely on what.........

JUST THEN, THE RAMBLING RHODES IS INTERRUPTED BY SOME CHEERS. THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF NONE OTHER THAN TIM TEBOW WALKING DOWN THE AISLE TOWARDS THE RING. HE's WEARING A WHITE #15 BRONCOS JERSEY AND A PAIR OF KHAKI SHORTS.

Cody Rhodes: "Oh look at this, if it isn't Mister Denver Broncos himself. Oops, I'm sorry, I mistook you for a real quarterback and thought you were John Elway".

TEBOW GETS A MICROPHONE AND GETS INTO THE RING, A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Tim Tebow: "Hey Cody, nice to meet ya, my name is Tim Tebow".

TEBOW EXTENDS HIS HAND BUT RHODES DOESN'T EVEN CONSIDER SHAKING IT.

Cody Rhodes: "Oh, I know who you are. They talk about you non-stop on shows like SportsCenter and the 700 Club, but I'm not interested. And please tell me you're not out here to push your over the top religious beliefs on me".

Tim Tebow: "You're entitled to believe whatever you want to. I just think you should be a little more thankful".

Cody Rhodes: "Thankful? You're telling me to be more thankful? Of what..... wise man"?

Tim Tebow: "I'm thankful for every day, Cody. I'm thankful for being here this evening in front of all these great people in Denver..... (crowd pops). I'm just saying that maybe if you took that approach.......

Cody Rhodes: "Listen here Pop John Paul..... I didn't ask you to come out here tonight and since there isn't a football game or some local pep rally, I suggest you leave this ring before you get hurt".

RHODES DROPS THE MIC AND BOWS UP TO TEBOW, GETTING RIGHT IN HIS FACE. TEBOW STILL CAN'T SHAKE HIS SMILE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, A HUGE POP EMANATES FROM THE CROWD.

ROB VAN DAM IS IN THE RING AND GOING TO WORK ON RHODES. AFTER CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING SPIN KICK RIGHT ON THE JAW, HE HEADS TO THE TOP ROPE AND FLIES OFF WITH THE "5 STAR FROG SPLASH", A NICE EARLY TREAT FOR THE MASSIVE CROWD.

RVD THEN CALLS FOR SOMETHING AT RINGSIDE AND HE IS THROWN A FOOTBALL, WHICH HE HANDS TO TEBOW. TEBOW GRIPS THE BALL AS THE CAMERA SWINGS AROUND BEHIND THE TWO MEN. OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROWD IN THE SECOND SECTION, A POST WITH A BIG TARGET HANGING OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF IT CAN BE SEEN. IT's CLEAR RVD AND TEBOW ARE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO HIT IT.

TEBOW TAKES A STEP AND THROWS THE BALL, SMACKING IT RIGHT OFF THE TARGET WHICH HAD TO BE 50 YARDS OUT. THAT TRIGGERS AN IMMENSE DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS AND THE CROWD IS GOING CRAZY AS VAN DAM HIGH FIVES THE BRONCOS QUARTERBACK.

Jim Ross: "What an excellent way to start this event"!

Jerry Lawler: "And some people claim he can't throw".

Michael Cole: "I think I'm gonna be sick..... what does Tim Tebow have to do with anything"?!

Scott Hudson: "Oh come on, have a little fun, Michael, it's WrestleMania! That was great"!

J.R.: "Great for everyone but Cody Rhodes.... he found himself on the business end of a Five Star Frogsplash".

Howard Finkel: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome..... The Fray"!

THE SHOT IS SENT TO THE TOP OF THE STAGE WHERE ROCK BAND 'THE FRAY' IS SET UP. THE BAND THAT STARTED OUT IN COLORADO PERFORMS A VERY INTERESTING, YET VERY GOOD RENDITION OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, SENDING THE CROWD INTO ANOTHER FRENZY AS CHANTS OF "U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A." ECHO AROUND THE STADIUM.

J.R.: "We are live for the twelfth annual WrestleMania inside the open air stadium of Sports Authority Field at Mile High and King, it doesn't get any bigger than this".

Lawler: "It sure doesn't, J.R.. We're out here in late November in Colorado which is one of the strangest places I've ever been weather wise but we couldn't ask for a better day today"!

J.R.: "It's nearly seventy degrees right now but the temperature is sure to dip as we move through the evening. Fourteen huge matches are in store tonight".

Lawler: "It will no doubt be one of, if not thee biggest WrestleMania to date.... I can't hardly wait"!

Ring Announcer Stephen DeAngelis: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Denver Street fight"!

A HUGE POP IS LET OUT BY THE INCREDIBLY LOUD AUDIENCE.

"THE DROWNING" BY THE HAUNTED COMES ON AND RICHARD RAMSLEY MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE ENTRANCE RAMP WHICH IS 75 YARDS LONG. HE SAUNTERS TO THE RING TO THE TUNE OF HIS EERIE ENTRANCE, TAKING A GLANCE AT A FEW OF THE FANS THROUGH THE HAIR THAT HIDES MOST OF HIS FACE.

J.R.: "And how about this to kick things off..... this is gonna be a war".

Lawler: "I've heard the street fights here in Denver get downright nasty, J.R., but these two guys might take things to another level".

J.R.: "Richard Ramsley has become somewhat of a pawn in the situation between CM Punk and Matt Cruz, which is how he got into this thing with Orton"!

A POP-UP WINDOW APPEARS ON THE SCREEN AND MICHELLE BEADLE, A HOST AT ESPN, IS SHOWN.

J.R.: "We understand that Michelle Beadle is here with us tonight as a celebrity backstage correspondent and will be interviewing the winner of this match......

Michelle Beadle: "I sure will guys...... can't wait".

"VOICES" BY REV THEORY PLAYS NEXT AND RANDY ORTON IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. HE IS STARING A HOLE INTO RAMSLEY AS HE APPROACHES THE RING, BUT RAMSLEY LOOKS LIKE HE CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM TO GET THERE.

Lawler: "Well if you ask me, Ramsley should be the main suspect in whatever has happened to Maria"!

J.R.: "Calling him a suspect implies there's been a crime, King, which we don't know".

Lawler: "Well I'd like to join the search, but first I'd have to let Cruz know about my finder's keeper's policy".

J.R.: "Ramsley just pulled something out of his pocket"!

Denver Street Fight

Richard Ramsley vs. Randy Orton

Orton came into the ring but Ramsley reaches into his jeans pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a wrench. After smashing it against the abdomen of Orton, he drove it into the back of his head/neck area with both hands. Orton fell to the mat and Ramsley then took a swing with the metal tool but missed. Orton got up and cracked Ramsley with a right hand, knocking the weapon out of his hands. After throwing him into the steel ring post shoulder first, Orton used a side russian leg sweep to take control. After pulling Ramsley up, he tossed him through the ring ropes to the apron where he delivered his hanging DDT. Orton rolled Ramsley into a cover and got a 2 count. But Orton now looked like a man possessed, backing up and measuring his opponent. He charged across the ring looking for the punt but Ramsley moved his head and then got up, kicking Orton right in the crotch. After throwing Orton out of the ring, Ramsley followed and picked up the steel ring steps. Struggling to get them up, Ramsley smashed them across the head of Orton, sending a crashing sound across the stadium. Orton got up but Ramsley was again on him with a shot to the back of the head. After a suplex on the ramp, Ramsley made his first cover in the falls count anywhere contest and got a 2 count. A single cameraman followed as Ramsley led Orton up the ramp and pushed him into the backstage area. Ramsley popped Orton with 3 right hands and Orton continued to retreat. A loud set of cheers was heard as a concession stand came into view. The line of fans took a long look at the two men brawling just feet from them and after a kick to the groin, Orton grabbed Ramsley and tossed him over the counter at the concession stand. He then grabbed a Zack Ryder T-shirt and began to choke Ramsley with it before throwing him back over the counter. The fans were loving every second of the fight as Orton followed Ramsley who was still gasping for air. Orton grabbed him and threw him into a steel support beam before pushing through a set of double doors. The two men were now outside the building, in front of the stadium. Orton tried to get control of Ramsley but Ramsley punched him in the throat and then threw him into a steel hand rail leading up a set of concrete steps. Orton let out a painful scream as Ramsley moved in and kicked him in the ribs. After literally dragging Orton down the rest of the steps, Ramsley grabbed Orton in a front facelock and looked like he was ready to hit his DDT. But Orton countered with a backdrop and Ramsley landed hard on the steps. Ramsley immediately grabbed his lower back but Orton got him up and that led to the "RKO". Orton rolled Ramsley over as referee Scott Martin gingerly slapped the ground 3 times, giving him the match.

Match Time: 8:17

"VOICES" BEGAN TO PLAY AGAIN AS MARTIN RAISED THE HAND OF RANDY ORTON. JUST THEN, MICHELLE BEADLE RAN OUT.

Michelle Beadle: "Randy...... Randy, great win.... but I have to ask about the whereabouts of Maria. Do you know.......

Randy Orton (breathing heavily): "With all due respect, my only focus tonight was on kicking the crap out of Ramsley. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm not finished".

ORTON TURNS AROUND, APPARENTLY LOOKING TO DO MORE DAMAGE, BUT RAMSLEY IS GONE.

Lawler: "What the..... where did he go"?

J.R.: "Well Randy Orton has won the street fight here but Richard Ramsley has somehow taken one of the most devastating RKO's we have ever seen...... and walked away from it".

BACKSTAGE AREA.........

Carney is walking through the hall about to open his door to his locker room when he is approached by Lena Yada.

Lena Yada: "Carney just a quick word.......

Carney: (With a very aggravated look on his face) "What do you want"?

Lena Yada: "We are just moments away from the Jackpot match, but after what happened on the Main Event, some have to wonder, is your head really in this match tonight, or is it more on Alba Rios and your ba......".

Carney: "Don't even say it. YOU want to know where my head is at? I will tell you exactly where it is.... my head is where it always is... focused on my match, where I will go through five other superstars and climb that damn ladder rung by damn rung and bring bring down that briefcase and go on to fulfill my destiny, the reason why I was brought into the TWF and The Empire! To become a champion. Then the only question that will be asked is when will I cash it in and will I be the new Universal or the World Champion"?

Carney pushes the mic out of in front of him and walks into his locker room and slams the door behind him.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC COMES ON AND HIS FAMILIAR PYRO DISPLAY FOLLOWS. MASTERS AND THE LOVELY VELVET SKY STEP OUT ONTO THE STAGE AMID THE PYRO. MASTERS FLINGS THE CAPE FROM HIS SHOULDERS AS VELVET ACTS AS A 'PRICE IS RIGHT' MODEL, SHOWING OFF THE PHYSIQUE OF CHRIS MASTERS.

Michael Cole: "It's time for the PrimeTime side of WrestleMania 12 to get underway and here comes what can only be described as beauty and the brawn".

Scott Hudson: "Chris Masters was somewhat recruited by Velvet Sky after she was actually rejected, yes rejected by the young Caleb Weber"!

Cole: "And I've been saying all along what a fool Caleb Weber is for making that choice! I mean, who would reject that woman? She's gorgeous"!

"FROM THE INSIDE" BY DEPSWA STRIKES UP AND THAT BRINGS CALEB WEBER OUT ALONG WITH EVE. EVE AND WEBER WALK HAND IN HAND TO THE RING AND BOTH LOOK VERY READY FOR ACTION.

Hudson: "Well Eve isn't so bad herself, Michael...... and Caleb met her and interacted with her first".

Cole: "Okay so who are you, Chuck Woolery?! This isn't the Love Connection.... it's the TWF and that's why Weber is going to be destroyed here by the Masterpiece"!

Hudson: "Chris Masters is of course a former two Universal champion so Weber will no doubt have his hands full, but Velvet looks intent on becoming part of this match".

Cole: "Velvet?! What about Eve"?!

Chris Masters w/ Velvet Sky vs. Caleb Weber w/ Eve Torres

The bell sounded to start the match and Masters slapped his upper arms on both sides, ready to lock up. But Weber clearly wanted to avoid getting in tight with the powerhouse and kept his distance. The two men circled each other for a few moments, looking for the chance to attack. Finally Weber moved in with a sharp leg kick. Masters threw a wild right hand that missed everything and Weber scored again, bouncing his leg off the right calf of the Masterpiece. After ducking a clothesline, Weber ran the ropes and delivered a big dropkick that knocked Masters into the ropes. He then grabbed him around the head and neck and tried to use the ring ropes for a springboard into a bulldog. But Masters muscled Weber off of him, slamming him into the mat. After a stiff clothesline, Masters pulled Weber up and then wowed the huge crowd with a military press, pushing Weber up and down 4 times before slamming him to the mat. After a quick elbow drop, Masters went for the cover but Weber was up at 2. Masters pulled Caleb to his feet and then flung him into the corner. After barreling in with a clothesline, Masters said it was time for the Masterlock. But when he got one hand behind Weber's head, Weber countered with a nice go-behind into a standing waistlock. Masters reached around to try and grab him but Weber got free and then ducked a clothesline before nailing a Pele Kick. The crowd loved that move and could see Weber building steam. He went to the top rope and waited for Masters to get up. Masters got to his feet but didn't see Weber perched on the top rope and that led to a flying crossbody that nearly won the match. A 2 and a half count for Weber. Back on the feet, Masters went for his dreaded running double sledge but Weber avoided that too and came back with a drop toehold before hitting a running basement dropkick. Weber's quickness was a clear advantage in this one and he was starting to take control. Velvet noticed this and got up on the apron. She turned around and pulled down her short black shorts, revealing a black thong. She looked her shoulder at Weber and the camera got a great shot of her saying "Take a good look at what you'll never have". Weber then ran in and smacked her on the backside! Velvet jumped off the apron, appalled at what he just did. Referee Aaron Mahoney was also engaged with what was going on between the two and that gave Eve her chance. She came into the ring and jumped onto the back of Masters, trying to choke him. But Masters was too strong and he grabbed Eve, spinning her around and locking in the Masterlock on her! Weber ran over and kicked him in the side to break the hold and then he made sure to safely get Eve out of the ring. Masters was waiting when Weber turned around and he grabbed him for some sort of T-Bone style suplex. Weber landed very awkwardly on his head and neck and Masters covered him, hooking both legs to win the match.

Match Time: 8:31

Cole: "Masters wins it"!

Hudson: "This match is over and it appears both Caleb Weber and Eve came out worse for wear! I hope Caleb is OK.... he landed very hard on the back of his head there".

Cole: "Well it serves Eve right if you ask me! She had no business getting involved in this match"!

CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED AS HE AND VELVET LEFT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. VELVET SEEMED TO HAVE SOME STRONG WORDS FOR BOTH CALEB AND EVE AS THEY WALKED UP THE RAMP.

Hudson: "Selective vision at it's finest from Michael Cole. But Velvet Sky has certainly gotten what she wanted here at WrestleMania and I sure hope that makes our reigning Femme Fatale champion happy".

Cole: "Of course it does! Now her and Masters can go into LoDo or whatever they want here in Denver! It's party time for those two"!

IN THE RING, EVE TRIED TO CONSOLE WEBER FOLLOWING THE DEFEAT BEFORE THE SHOT WAS SENT TO THE BACK.

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, MICHELLE BEADLE IS WITH KHARMA AND THE CURRENT TWF WOMEN's CHAMPION, KAYLA KARTER.

Michelle Beadle: "Ladies, you will both be competing in your first match at WrestleMania tonight and we now know that Gina Carano's partner is Beth Phoenix. How do you guys feel about her choosing the Glamazon to face the two of you tonight"?

Kayla Karter: "I'll give her a little bit of credit. At least she didn't choose one of those silicone filled stripper girls like most of them are around here. But do you think Kharma and I care who her partner is? She could have chosen King Kong to team with her tonight, we wouldn't have cared. They're the ones who have to face the most dominant female ever in this business (she looks at Kharma) as well as the best current female competitor there is. So really, you probably should have interviewed them and asked how they feel about having to face the two of us".

KAYLA AND KHARMA WALK PAST A SPEECHLESS BEADLE, HEADING TOWARDS THE RING.

"HELP I'M ALIVE" BY METRIC PLAYS AND KAYLA KARTER COMES OUT ALONGSIDE IMPOSING KHARMA. SHE HOLDS HER WOMEN's TITLE UP IN HER RIGHT HAND AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS.

J.R.: "Well after two divas on the PrimeTime side interjected themselves into that last match, we've got four divas that are gonna get it on here, King".

Lawler: "And I have really been looking forward to this matchup. With Kharma in her corner, many people feel that Kayla Karter might just be unbeatable but they face a couple of ladies tonight who will give Kharma a run for her money".

CHEERS ARE LOUDLY HEARD WHEN BETH PHOENIX's MUSIC PLAYS AND SHE COMES OUT AND WALKS ABOUT 20 YARDS DOWN THE RAMP BEFORE TURNING AND LOOKING BACK AT THE ENTRANCE.

"TEARS DON'T FALL" BY BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE COMES ON AND GINA CARANA COMES OUT WITH A FAMILIAR FACE. IT's NONE OTHER THAN UNITED STATES WOMEN's SOCCER TEAM GOALIE HOPE SOLO. THE CROWD GOES WILD.

Lawler: "Hey.... look who they've got with them"!

J.R.: "Well who can forget when Kayla Karter faced Hope Solo at Code Red: Wildcard and it looks like Ms. Solo has decided to pay her old buddy Kayla a visit"!

KARTER IS CLEARLY NOT HAPPY WITH SOLO's PRESENCE, TRYING TO TALK TO REFEREE JACK DOAN ABOUT IT.

Lawler: "Hope Solo may be one of my favorite female athletes of all time! Look at her..... she's beautiful"!

J.R.: "Gina Carano is ready to pull out all the stops it seems here against the two women who have been a huge nemesis to her in 2011"!

Kayla Karter and Kharma vs. Gina Carano and Beth Phoenix w/ Hope Solo

The crowd was buzzing for this match as Doan gave instructions to both teams. Carano stood in the ring apart from Karter as the bell sounded, but the Women's champ quickly made the switch to Kharma. Looking into the crowd, Carano heard a roar and Beth wanted into the match. Gina stuck out her hand and Beth slapped it. This literally brought several fans to their feet as Kharma and the Glamazon met face to face in the center of the ring. Kharma shoved Beth but Beth returned the favor. With a look of fury in her eyes, Kharma threw a punch but Beth blocked it and responded with 3 kicks to the body. She then tried an irish whip but Kharma reversed it and threw a clothesline that missed with Beth ducked. After hitting the ropes on the other side, Beth collided with Kharma using a shoulder tackle but she barely budged the behemoth of a diva. Beth connected with a right hand and went for another irish whip. This time, Kharma put the brakes on and pulled Beth into a variation of the Boss Man Slam. After a huge elbow drop across Beth's chest landed, Kharma made a cover and got about a 1 and a half count. After pulling Beth up, Kharma made the tag to Karter. Kharma then scooped Beth up and slammed her to the mat as Karter went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a well placed legdrop. She made another cover but barely drew a 2 count. Kayla slapped on a reverse chinlock, trying to wear Beth down. The fans tried to rally behind Beth. Beth was able to fight through the hold, getting to her feet. After an elbow to the abdomen, Beth went to run the ropes but Kayla yanked her to the mat with a handful of hair. Doan warned Kayla about the hair pull but she shrugged it off. She then pulled Beth up and shot her to the corner, the same one Kharma was in. Using a classic distraction technique, Kayla had Doan's back to the action as Kharma choked Beth with the tag rope and then slammed a forearm off her chest. Kayla then went to the top rope, looking to finish the Buffalo, NY native off. She came off with some sort of corkscrew splash but hit nothing but ring mat when Beth moved out of the way. The crowd was revived, hoping to see Beth get to her corner. She did, making the tag to the very fresh Gina Carano who came in firing right hands on the Women's champ. After 3 of them found their mark, she blasted her with a switch kick to the head. Kayla fell to the mat and Gina covered her, getting a 2 count before Kharma came in and pulled her off the cover. Doan threatened to disqualify Kharma if it happened again and Carano kept pouring the offense on. After a high angle backdrop suplex, Gina positioned Kayla and locked in a reverse triangle hold, pulling Karter's right arm between her legs. Karter was in a lot of trouble and Doan had his eyes on Kharma, warning her not to come in. Karter, although fighting the hold with all she had, looked like she was about to pass out. Finally, almost out of desperation, she was able to find the bottom ring rope with her right foot. Doan saw it and asked Carano to break the hold. She did but this time, it was Gina who pulled Doan away from what was about to happen. As Kayla tried to gather herself, she stuck her head between the ring ropes and Hope Solo came over and slapped her across the face, drawing a huge cheer from the crowd. Kharma saw this and came off the apron, going after Solo. Solo ran around the ring as Beth Phoenix got down to stand between her and Kharma. Beth tagged Kharma with a right hand but then she tried to pick her up and couldn't do it. After falling right onto Beth, Kharma got up and picked her up with her, flinging her into the ring steps. Beth hit hard and immediately grabbed her head before Kharma went back to her corner. In the ring, Carano put Kayla down with a snap suplex before pulling her up and whipping her to the ropes. Gina used a nice leapfrog before connecting with a reverse body block. But what she didn't see was Kayla reach her hand out and slapped the hand of Kharma, making a tag off the irish whip. Carano had a cover but Kharma came in and stomped on the back of her head. After pulling her up and throwing her face first into the top turnbuckle pad, Kharma dropped Gina with an incredibly nasty spinning backfist. Gina fell to the mat, holding her mouth and nose area before Kharma picked her up and delivered a ring shaking sitout powerbomb. Carano had no chance of kicking out and Doan issued the 3 count.

Match Time: 9:37

Lawler: "Wow.... I don't even know what to say to that".

J.R.: "It's hard to call it anything but impressive, King. Kharma just took out the former TWF Women's champion with a handful of moves. That powerbomb was obviously the end of the match but I don't think Gina would've recovered from that spining backfist. I think I may have seen blood fly after that".

"HELP I'M ALIVE" LOUDLY PLAYED AS KARTER AND KHARMA LEFT THE RING. CAMERAS GOT A SHOT OF HOPE SOLO, WHO LOOKED A LITTLE FEARFUL. SHE WAITED FOR THE TWO TO LEAVE BEFORE GOING INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON CARANO. OUTSIDE THE RING, BETH WAS STILL DOWN.

Lawler: "There is quite a trail of destruction left behind by those two ladies here in Denver".

J.R.: "And I have a feeling there will be a trail of destruction left in the Women's division as long as this partnership exists".

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS SHOWN WITH PJ CASH.

Lena Yada: "PJ, coming up next, you will be putting one million dollars of your own money up against Tatanka, who will be defending the Million Dollar title. What kind of hit to your personal bank account would it be for you to lose this match"?

PJ Cash: "Ya know, I've been asked a lot of stupid questions in my career, but I think that one takes the cake. Ya see, it's been clear for several years now that I am championship material, yet no one seems to see it. So if I have to start buying titles to get upper management to recognize me...... then that's exactly what I'll do".

PJ CASH WALKS AWAY BEFORE THE SHOT SHIFTS TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA. CAMERAS HAVE CAUGHT A MEETING BETWEEN MONEY MIKE AND TIM TEBOW. THE TWO SHAKE HANDS.

Money Mike: "So you're one of our special guests tonight. I gotta ask, are ya havin' fun"?

Tim Tebow: "I am actually, everyone around here seems pretty cool".

Money Mike: "Ya know every time I turn on the TV, all I hear about is Tim Tebow. Yet, I have no idea why. Is it your subpar football skills or your constant preaching to anyone who will listen. Ya see, where I come from, being a virgin is not something to brag about".

Tim Tebow: "Uh yeah...... well it was great to me you, sir".

TEBOW WALKS AWAY AND MONEY MIKE IS DEFINITELY IRRITATED.

"EX's AND OH's" BY ATREYU COMES ON AND PJ CASH EMERGES FROM THE BACK TO A ROAR OF BOOS. IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS A BLACK BRIEFCASE.

Hudson: "Can you believe the nerve of this guy, calling out TWF management the way he just did"?

Cole: "Look, PJ Cash is just wondering why he's never been given a big opportunity here in the TWF and I have to agree. It's been a headscratcher for me for years"!

Hudson: "So the solution is to buy yourself a title shot"?

Cole: "Essentially..... yes! That Million Dollar title would look perfect around the waist of PJ Cash! It's like it was made for him"!

THE FANS GO INTO A BIG CHEER WHEN TATANKA's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WEARING A BEAUTIFUL EAGLE-FEATHERED HEADDRESS. HE IS CARRYING THE GOLD AND DIAMOND PLATED MILLION DOLLAR BELT IN HIS RIGHT HAND. AFTER LOOKING AROUND AT THE CROWD IN AWE, HE RUNS TO THE RING.

Hudson: "For this man, the Million Dollar title was considered a bit of an afterthought, not even much of a wrestling accomplishment. But taking advantage of PJ Cash's personal fifty thousand dollar challenge, Tatanka is trying to help many of his Native American tribe and family members"!

Cole: "But he didn't asked for fifty thousand.... this greedy Indian wants one million"!

Hudson: "The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase is much to blame for that, but hey, you heard PJ Cash claim it won't hurt his bank account much at all! And you talk about greedy...... you think that belt means more to Cash than that money would to Tatanka and his family"?!

Cole: "Who cares about them...... I just want to see Cash finally live a big moment here in the TWF"!

Million Dollar Match

PJ Cash vs. Tatanka

Referee Charles Robinson held the Million Dollar title out for PJ Cash to view. Cash then popped open his briefcase and the camera got a good look inside of several stacked $100 bills. After handing the belt and the briefcase to the timekeeper, Robinson called for the bell. Cash quickly struck with a kick to the midsection and then a right hand. He then ran in with another right hand but Tatanka blocked it and responded with a double knifedge to the chest. Picking Cash up, Tatanka pushed him into the corner and bladed his chest with more chops before hip tossing him across the ring. Cash got to his feet and saw Tatanka running in with a clothesline, ducked and smashed the Native American with a discus back elbow that dropped him. After a jumping knee drop to the face, Cash got Tatanka up and whipped him into the corner, flying in with a body splash. He then kicked him several times before grabbing him for a tornado DDT. He spiked Tatanka into the mat with it and went for a cover, getting a 2 count. Cash came back with 2 quick elbows before getting Tatanka up and shooting him to the ropes. He connected with a pretty flying back elbow and went for another cover, getting another 2 count. Cash was eager to put Tatanka away as quickly as possible but there was a lot of fight in the veteran grappler. After a big vertical suplex, Cash went to the apron and tried to shoot himself in wit a slingshot elbow drop. Tatanka rolled out of the way and then caught Cash with a big powerslam. Hooking the leg, Tatanka made his first cover of the match but Cash was out at 2. Tatanka stayed on him, though, pounding him with some overhand shots to the back. Off an irish whip, Tatanka was successful with a big back bodydrop and then fans were starting to feel it. Tatanka went to the top rope and flew off with a tomahawk chop, pounding Cash over the skull. He covered him but failed to hook a leg and Cash pressed him off at 2 and a half. Tatanka could sense victory, scooping Cash up in position for a body slam but Cash fought free with 3 elbows to the side of the head. He then used a reverse STO, pulling Tatanka face first into the mat. He rolled him over and got 1..............2.........., but Tatanka was up, however, the move clearly hurt him. Cash positioned himself, looking to finish things with the "Cash Register". But when he went for it, Tatanka pushed him off. Cash was able to land on his feet and he drilled Tatanka with a super kick! The shot knocked him into the corner and then Cash again went for a flying splash. Shaking off the stout kick, Tatanka saw him coming just in time and moved out of the way. Cash hit the steel post behind the turnbuckles face first and immediately grabbed his mouth with both hands. He turned around into a wicked tomahawk from Tatanka who quickly pulled him up and got him onto his shoulders. After turning around to all sides of the crowd as if to show his 'prey', Tatanka delivered the "Trail's End". He then covered Cash, this time hooking both legs and Robinson pounded the mat 3 times and called for the bell.

Match Time: 10:09

Cole: "Oh no..... this can't be happening"!

Hudson: "Tatanka has defeated the so-called PrimeTime Prodigy and I don't care how rich he is..... that hurt"!

TATANKA WAS HANDED THE BRIEFCASE AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED AND HE OPENED IT TO LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT THE MONEY. THE CROWD WAS LOUDLY CHEERING AS HE LEFT THE RING, TAKING OUT ONE OF THE STACKS OF BILLS AND DISPERSING IT AMONGST SOME LUCKY FANS.

Cole: "Those people don't need that money...... that doesn't belong to them"!

Hudson: "Well it doesn't belong to Cash anymore either....... what a moment"!

Cole: "This was supposed to be PJ Cash's night! What a damn shame"!

CASH WAS SHOWN SITTING IN THE CORNER OF THE RING, BOTH HANDS OVER HIS FACE IN CLEAR DISAPPOINTMENT.

Hudson: "It turns out even PJ Cash's bank account couldn't bring him a title here in the TWF! This will be a night I'm sure that young man will never outlive"!

Cole: "I'm gonna be sick........

BACKSTAGE..... JOE COREY's DRESSING ROOM........

SUNNY AND JOE COREY ARE SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM. THE UNIVERSAL TITLE IS ON A NEARBY TABLE IN THE ROOM.

Joe Corey: "All I'm saying is that once I win this match tonight, I want to be recognized as the greatest Universal champion ever. I may even ask them to re-design this belt, just for me".

Sunny: "Oh, you're gonna do great out there..... I can't wait".

SUNNY CARESSES THE CHEEK OF COREY BEFORE GIVING HIM A QUICK KISS BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

SEVERAL LADDERS ARE SHOWN SURROUNDING THE RING AND THE CROWD POPS AS THEY KNOW WHAT IS UP NEXT.

Howard Finkel: "Ladies and gentlemen.... the following contest is the WrestleMania Jackpot match"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS BEFORE THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON. ARIEL COMES ON WEARING A BLACK AND RED CORSET WITH WINGS ON THE BACK THAT RESEMBLE A BAT. KEVIN THORN FOLLOWS, CARRYING HIS WALKING STICK.

Hudson: "We are ready for the annual WrestleMania Jackpot match and we are looking at one of the men who has to be considered a favorite".

Cole: "Kevin Thorn is already a former Universal champion and I believe that's the title he'd go after if he wins this match! He still feels he should have that belt now".

"I AM PERFECTION" PLAYS AND DOLPH ZIGGLER COMES OUT TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS.

J.R.: "Well I guess all four of us are gonna call this match and with all the action that we're in store for, that's probably best".

Cole: "Why are you two going to call this match with us? Rampage only has two guys in this thing"!

Lawler: "Oh shut up, Michael, whoever wins this match has their choice of what champion to go after anyway"!

THE EMPIRE THEME COMES ON AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

J.R.: "Well you knew The Empire would have to have a representative in this thing.... let's not forget the way that Carney got into this match".

Cole: "Wait a minute, are you insinuating that The Empire did something they shouldn't have to get Carney into this match"?!

J.R.: "That's exactly what I'm sayin'".

Cole: "I hope they heard that.... I hope Wakeman and Money Mike heard that and they fire you for saying it"!

J.R.: "I hope they're back there getting ready for their match, that's what they should be doing".

THE FANS BEGIN TO CLAMOR WHEN A PINK CORVETTE PULLS ONTO THE STAGE AND "BARBIE GIRL" BY AQUA STARTS TO PLAY.

Lawler: "Here we go..... I've been waiting for this"!

KEN DOLL AND LACEY VON ERICH STEP OUT FROM THE CORVETTE, HEADING TO THE RING.

Hudson: "Get ready for one of the most eccentric, flamboyant superstars in the history of the TWF".

Lawler: "Let's talk a little about Lacey, can we"?

J.R.: "Lacey Von Erich is of course the daughter of the legendary Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich and she has aligned herself with this guy to form this modern day Ken and Barbie which is just........

Cole: "Just awesome! I hope you weren't going to say anything besides that, J.R., because that's exactly what it's been! It's been a privilege to sit on PrimeTime and watch this guy rise through the ranks and that is why he is my pick to win here tonight"!

"JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" COMES ON AND CHRISTIAN COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. HE SEEMS TO BE THE CROWD FAVORITE IN THE MATCH WITH EASE.

J.R.: "What a feat it would be for Christian to win this match..... a guy who has been in the TWF for most of it's existence yet has never had one World or Universal title match".

Hudson: "I talked to Christian earlier today and he mentioned exactly that, J.R. He told me that seventeen years in the business have led to this very moment here tonight".

Cole: "Well isn't that special. I know I for one will become physically ill if I have to watch some feel good moment featuring that weirdo Christian here tonight"!

LASTLY, "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" PLAYS AND CHRIS JERICHO COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. DESPITE JERICHO's RECENT STATUS AS A "BAD GUY", THERE ARE MANY JERICHO SUPPORTERS IN DENVER.

J.R.: "And now the last participant in this match who is arguably the biggest name in it.... Chris Jericho".

Lawler: "Arguably? I don't think it's even close. I could definitely see Y2J climbing that ladder and getting that guaranteed title shot!"

Hudson: "I count six ladders around the ring here, one for each man in it! Who will pull down that briefcase this year"?!

WrestleMania Jackpot

Kevin Thorn vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Carney vs. Ken Doll vs. Christian vs. Chris Jericho

The bell started and the action was underway as Thorn struck an unsuspecting Christian with a right hand. Ziggler and Carney began to go at it while Jericho and Doll each left the ring looking for a ladder. They each grabbed one and slid them into the ring. The ladders clanged off one another before Thorn scooped Christian up and slammed him onto one of them. Christian winced in pain before Jericho picked up the other ladder and slammed it onto Christian. Ziggler then ran across the ring and jumped in the air, sitting on the ladders which sandwiched Christian. The move also hurt Ziggler, however. Carney picked up one of the ladders and tried to set it up but Thorn smashed him across the back. He then grabbed Carney and whisked him over the top rope to the floor. Doll took his shot at Thorn, catching him with a running clothesline but when he hit the ropes again, Thorn kicked him right in the face with a big boot. He then grabbed a ladder and set it up but just one rung up his climb, Jericho yanked him off and hit the "Codebreaker"! Thorn fell to the mat and then rolled out of the ring. Meanwhile, Carney had set up a table outside the ring and he got back in, grabbing Doll. He tried to suplex Doll over the top rope and out onto the table but Doll countered and got a knee into the abdomen of Carney before turning him over for his rolling neckbreaker. Doll got up but Ziggler hit the "Zig Zag" on him. Jericho and Ziggler met in the center of the ring, trading shots. Christian began to recover from the early beating he suffered and he took Ziggler out with a chop block from behind. When he got up, Jericho went for the Code Breaker but Christian pushed him away to block it. He then dropkicked Y2J over the top rope. Ziggler got up and threw a clothesline but Christian ducked and then put him down with a reverse DDT. The fans came to their feet as Christian was now the only man standing in the ring. He set up a ladder right underneath the black briefcase. Christian began to climb the ladder as the fans loudly cheered. He got near the top, reaching for the case. He had his fingertips on it when Carney came and tipped the ladder over. Christian tried to keep his balance but it was no use and he fell to a crotched position on the top ring rope. From there, Carney went to the apron, grabbing Christian and delivering the "C-Drive" off the apron into the table he had set up. The fans loved the spot, but both men were down. Thorn got back into the ring and saw his chance to win the match. He set a ladder up and began to climb it but Ken Doll got up and started to go up the other side. Lacey Von Erich came into the ring and started to climb up the back of Doll, eventually getting onto his shoulders. She started to reach for the briefcase when Thorn shockingly grabbed her by the throat. Then, in a moment TWF fans will never forget, Thorn chokeslammed Lacey off the ladder! An amazingly loud "HOLY SHIT" chant started up but Doll jumped off the ladder and took off one of the long white boots Lacey had won to the ring. He smacked Thorn across the back with it a couple times but it didn't slow him down. Finally, Doll used a lowblow to bring him off the ladder. Ariel came into the ring and tried to sneak up on Doll, but he caught her. Ariel put her hands up as if to plead for mercy but Doll smacked her over the head with the boot. He took a look up at the briefcase but before he could make another move, Jericho smacked him across the back with a steel chair. Jericho then went and wedged the chair in between the top and middle ring ropes. Ziggler came from behind Jericho and slapped on his sleeper hold. But Jericho cleverly countered and fell forward, sending Ziggler face first into the top turnbuckle, but he surprisingly didn't make contact with the chair. Jericho then popped Ziggler with some hard shots but out of nowhere Ziggler was able to muscle him over his head and backdrop him out of the ring. Jericho used his hands to brace his fall, the only thing that prevented a face first landing. In the middle of the ring, Thorn was making his way up a ladder. Ziggler took a running start and used the chair in between the ropes as somewhat of a launching pad, springing off and flying towards the ladder. The fans were astonished to see Dolph's athleticism land him on the ladder, higher up than Thorn on the opposite side. Thorn was surprised to see this, but he punched Ziggler in the gut to knock him down a rung. Thorn began to ascend higher, looking to snatch the golden ticket. But Dolph wasn't done, getting in a few punches between the metal ladder. He got even with Thorn and both men started to brawl. Thorn landed a headbutt that almost knocked Ziggler down but he held the top rung with one hand. Almost out of desperation, he kicked the left foot out of Thorn and that spun him around. Thorn caught himself before falling but he was now turned around, facing the wrong way. Ziggler took advantage, climbing up to where he could reach over the other side and then grabbing Thorn by the head. He rammed the back of his head into the ladder what was at least 10 times and Thorn finally fell to the mat. Nothing stood in Ziggler's way now and he reached up, pulling down the briefcase to end the match.

Match Time: 14:11

"I AM PERFECTION" LOUDLY PLAYED AS ZIGGLER HELD THE BRIEFCASE UP WITH SHEER EXCITEMENT ON HIS FACE.

Hudson: "Dolph Ziggler has done it! Sometime between now and WrestleMania 13, Dolph Ziggler could become the World or Universal champion at any moment due to what we just witnessed"!

Lawler: "That was just a war.... and what a final battle on that ladder".

Cole: "I thought Kevin Thorn had it for sure..... but my hat's off to Dolph Ziggler.... great win"!

A RINGSIDE CAMERAMAN SURVEYED THE DAMAGE. SHOWING CARNEY AND CHRISTIAN STILL LAYING IN THE RUBBLE OF THE BROKEN TABLE AS WELL AS BOTH WOMEN STILL DOWN IN THE RING ALONG WITH THORN. OUTSIDE THE RING, JERICHO WAS PICTURED WITH A BLOODY NOSE.

J.R.: "Dolph Ziggler just moved up to the upper echelon of the TWF in my mind..... I think he'll make a long stay of it too".

Lawler: "Without a doubt the biggest moment of Dolph Ziggler's career has just happened here and if I was the World or Universal champion, I'd be very wary of this man"!

BACKSTAGE.......

MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN WALKING STEPHANIE McMAHON DOWN A HALLWAY. SHE IS BREATHING HEAVY AND LOOKS A LITTLE NERVOUS.

Money Mike: "It's gonna be OK.... we'll all be here to make sure things go down the way they should".

JUST THEN, MATT MORGAN COMES UP.

Matt Morgan: "Hey Mike, someone just brought this to our room..... I think you better take a look at it".

MORGAN HANDS MIKE SOME SORT OF FILE AND HE OPENS IT, THUMBING THROUGH IT.

Money Mike: "Has Wakeman seen this"?

Matt Morgan: "No, we couldn't find him.....

Money Mike: "Good luck out there, baby, I gotta take care of this".

MONEY MIKE WALKS OFF WITH MORGAN AND STEPHANIE LOOKS A UPSET.

Stephanie McMahon: "Somebody better be out there tonight"!

THE SHOT GOES TO THE RING WHERE "THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE COMES ON AND MONICA STEPS OUT TO A PRETTY FAVORABLE RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD. OUTSIDE OF HER USUAL LOOK, MONICA IS WEARING A BLACK AND BRIGHT GREEN OUTFIT AND HER HAIR IS DOWN AND STRAIGHT AS OPPOSED TO THE USUAL PIGTAILS.

J.R.: "Well this one is sure going to be interesting. Stephanie McMahon has seemed so confident in her sneak attacks of the former Women's champion, Monica and she seemed so confident in announcing this match.... but she didn't seem so confident moments ago, King".

Lawler: "Well don't underestimate the billion dollar princess, J.R., she is part of the group that runs this company ya know".

J.R.: "Yes but tonight she is in there with, for my money, the top female wrestler we have here in the TWF and aside from Monica's great wrestling pedigree, she has a mean streak a mile long and a burning desire to rip Ms. McMahon limb from limb".

THE EMPIRE THEME PLAYS FOR THE SECOND TIME AND STEPHANIE McMAHON COMES OUT IN SOMEWHAT OF A SOLID BLACK WRESTLING SINGLET.

Lawler: "Here she comes, J.R., look at her.......

STEPHANIE LOOKS A LITTLE TIMID AS SHE APPROACHES THE RING.

J.R.: "I don't think there is anyone inside Sports Authority Field here tonight who gives Stephanie a snowball's chance in you know where of winning this match"!

Lawler: "Well like I said, you don't want to underestimate her. Over the years I have gotten to know Stephanie McMahon very well and she is never outsmarted or out-prepared"!

J.R.: "Monica does have another big time match tonight and that involves her team, The BoogeySaints, having to defend their tag team titles. The only chance I see for Steph is that maybe.... just maybe.... Monica's mind will be elsewhere, but I doubt it".

Monica vs. Stephanie McMahon

As the bell sounded, Monica looked across the ring at Stephanie who suddenly got a very cold look in her eyes and yelled at Monica to "Bring it on"! Monica didn't hesitate, rushing in and tackling Stephanie, driving multiple punches into the side of her head. Monica got up and laid some boots into Stephanie who was now begging her off. Stephanie backed into a corner and tried to get to her feet. Monica moved in and rocked her with some more right hands. She then backed off and charged in but Steph moved out of the way. Steph took Monica into a standing side headlock. She jabbed at her with some punches to the head before releasing her and running the ropes, taking her out with a clothesline. Stephanie seemed very sure of herself at this point but when she pulled Monica up and got her in a standing headlock again, Monica came up with a nasty backdrop suplex that dropped Steph very hard. Monica probably could have ended it with that, but she wanted to do more damage. After picking Steph up and driving her across her knee with a backbreaker, Monica looked up to see Alba Rios walking down the ramp. Rios seemed ready to get involved but when she got to the foot of the ring, the look on her face clearly changed. Alba then turned and walked away as Monica went back to Steph, pulling her up and delivering a vicious DDT. Steph was completely out and Monica rolled her over and just laid across her backwards, a very nonchalant cover and got the 3 count.

Match Time: 4:43

J.R.: "Well this one is over but what was Alba Rios doing"?

Lawler: "That's what I want to know! She was supposed to help Stephanie..... what's the matter with her"?!

J.R.: "Although Alba didn't seem happy to walk away, I'm glad she did. That might be the best decision ever made by a member of The Empire and Monica has gotten a big win here tonight"!

"THOUGHTLESS" PLAYED AS MONICA LOOKED DOWN AT STEPHANIE, LOOKING VERY SATISFIED WITH THE WIN.

Lawler: "Stephanie should not be treated like this.... ever"!

J.R.: "Monica can now go to the back and help The BoogeySaints get ready for their upcoming title defense".

OUTSIDE THE ARENA.......

DARKNESS HAS SET IN THE DENVER SKY. CAMERAS CATCH THE ARRIVAL OF A LIMOUSINE OUTSIDE THE STADIUM. A DOOR TO THE LIMO OPENS AND MARIA STEPS OUT WEARING A VERY ELEGANT RED COCKTAIL DRESS.

THE SHOT WENT BACK TO THE RING AND "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN COMES ON AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF WHAT IS A SHINING FULL MOON IN THE SKY. JASON OLIVER COMES OUT FROM THE BACK AND HE SEEMS TO BE LOOKING BEHIND HIM OCCASIONALLY.

J.R.: "We are about to see a matchup to determine a number one contender for the TWF World title and here comes the former champion".

Lawler: "Jason Oliver wants one more crack at that title, J.R. and I don't think Sebastian Cain will be able to match this man tonight"!

J.R.: "This one has stretched over the last several months here and in my view it's gone from two men who may have had some competitive respect for one another to something that is downright personal".

Lawler: "I can't imagine the tire iron shot to the head we saw on Main Event didn't do permanent damage to Sebastian Cain"!

THE SHOT CUTS TO THE BACK WHERE SEBASTIAN CAIN IS SHOWN AND HE IS ALL OVER DREW McINTYRE, JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HIM. AFTER DROPPING McINTYRE WITH A RIGHT HAND, OLIVER GETS HIM UP AND THROWS HIM INTO A METAL CRATE. WITH McINTYRE OUT OF THE WAY, CAIN WALKS OFF AS "BLACK" BY SEVENDUST COMES ON.

J.R.: "It looks like Sebastian Cain has eliminated Drew McIntyre and he's heading out here"!

Lawler: "What the heck did McIntyre do wrong"?

J.R.: "Jason Oliver has had help with everything.... oh here he comes"!

THE CROWD LETS OUT A BIG ROAR ONCE CAME COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HE SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP AND DIVES INTO THE RING, TACKLING OLIVER.

#1 Contender for TWF World Title

Jason Oliver vs. Sebastian Cain

Referee Jose Mendez had no choice but to call for the bell to start the match as Cain was just mauling Oliver. After countless punches found a home, Cain drug Oliver up and pushed him into the corner, rocking him with more rights that set up a heavy back elbow. Cain then shot Oliver to the opposite corner as hard as he could and Oliver hit it hard before crashing to the mat. Cain got him up and flung him over the top rope and to the floor. Looking to use the ring and it's surrounding objects to do damage, Cain tore into Oliver by slamming him head first into the steel ring post. After pulling one of the supporting mats up around the ring, Cain delivered a big suplex on the exposed ground. Cain was beginning to beat Oliver senseless. Cain got Oliver up one more time and rolled him into the ring, looking to make quick work of him. Cain got in and ran the ropes but Oliver got up and came back with a low dropkick to the left shin of Cain to stop the proverbial bleeding. Staggered but still with plenty of fight, Oliver cracked Cain's chest with several knifedge chops before popping him with a right hand. Oliver then shot Cain to the ropes but when he dropped his head a little early, Cain recovered and flipped Oliver up as if to powerbomb but instead dropped him across his right knee with a backbreaker. Cain made the cover but Oliver was up at 2. Cain needed a moment to catch his breath and he went to the outside of the ring on the apron. When Oliver got up, he went for a slingshot clothesline but Oliver caught his arm and went to the mat with him, ripping at the right arm with a vicious armbar. Oliver had Cain's arm in a very bad position and looked like he could even break it. Cain looked close to tapping as Mendez moved in close to ask if he wanted to give it up. Cain was able to steer his legs towards the ring ropes and although he put his arm in even worse pain doing so, he was able to earn a break. The door had been opened for Oliver though and he stomped feverishly at the right arm. Cain tried to defend it but it was no use. After throwing Cain shoulder first into the steel ring post, Oliver delivered a big back suplex. Oliver was now in complete control and he set Cain up in one of the most famous submission holds in the business, the Sharpshooter. He cranked back on it, trying to get Cain to tap out and gain a shot at the World title. But Cain would not give up, not even thinking about tapping out. Cain bridged up with Oliver on his back and crawled towards the ring ropes and again got the break. Relentless, Oliver dragged him back to the center of the ring to try and put it on again but Cain rolled to his back and used both feet to kick Oliver away. Oliver ran in with a clothesline but missed and Cain ran the ropes, connecting with a flying forearm. Cain was starting to get his wits about him again and he yelled for Oliver to get up, pounding him with more punches before dropping him with a clothesline. Oliver ducked up and slowed Cain with a thumb to the eye before trying to a low kick. Cain caught his foot and spun him around before nailing a jump kick to the back of the head. Cain was now signaling for the end of the match and Oliver slowly got up and Cain grabbed him, getting him up for the "Mark of Cain". Oliver hit the mat with a ton of force and Cain covered him for the victory.

Match Time: 12:42

J.R.: "Sebastian Cain has won it! Oh what a match"!

Lawler: "And he's now the number one contender..... you have to hand it to him".

"BLACK" PLAYED AS SEBASTIAN CAIN HAD HIS HAND RAISED IN VICTORY. HE THEN LOOKED DOWN AT THE FALLEN AND DEFEATED JASON OLIVER.

J.R.: "He has won the King of Cable title and the King of the Ring crown but to me..... this is the biggest win of Sebastian Cain's career"!

Lawler: "I don't think there's any doubt about it, J.R. and I'm pretty sure this crowd agrees.... listen to this place"!

J.R.: "A World title match awaits Sebastian Cain"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, TRISH STRATUS IS SHOWN TALKING WITH ONE OF THE GUESTS OF THE NIGHT, TIM TEBOW. JUST THEN, TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES UP.

Tim Tebow: "Oh hey..... hey man, Trish and I were just talking about.........

Travis Wakeman: "Hey it's cool, you owe me no explanation..... thank you for being here tonight".

Tim Tebow: "Really? I didn't get that from your boy Money Mike".

Travis Wakeman: "Let's just say Mike and I see things a little differently in some cases".

Tim Tebow: "That means a lot, because you're one of the greats".

WAKEMAN EXTENDS HIS HAND AND TEBOW SHAKES IT.

Travis Wakeman: "I have a feeling you'll end up being much better. And I don't just say that because you play quarterback for my team".

TRISH SMILES AT WAKEMAN's HUGE COMPLIMENT.

Good luck with the rest of this season...... I gotta go get ready........

WAKEMAN WALKS AWAY AND TRISH FOLLOWS.

Trish Stratus: "See ya, Tim".

WHEN THE SHOT RETURNS TO THE RING, FANS ARE LOUDLY YELLING AS THE RING HAS BEEN ENCOMPASSED BY THE NOTORIOUS 'HELL IN A CELL' STRUCTURE.

J.R.: "We are about to witness The Empire Sweepstakes which will take place inside the career shortening Hell in a Cell"!

Lawler: "This is a match I have really been looking forward to! Six guys who are going to put it all on the line"!

"WOO WOO WOO..... YOU KNOW IT" IS HEARD AND ZACK RYDER COMES OUT TO A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD.

Cole: "I'm looking forward to it but only in hopes that these six men will keep their mouths shut going forward. They've all been at the doorstep whining and crying that they haven't gotten the opportunities they deserve! Wah... wah.... wah"!

"BOOM BOOM" BY KIDD RUSSELL COMES ON AND COLOT CABANA COMES OUT, ALSO RECEIVING A FAVORABLE RESPONSE.

Hudson: "The Empire has offered one heck of a prize to the winner. Either they can join The Empire, or they can select one member of the elitist group to face under any terms they would like. It's really WrestleMania history".

Cole: "And that's why I don't want to hear anything negative said about The Empire and how they do business! They shouldn't have to deal with that fool Stone Cold Steve Austin"!

J.R.: "Ya know, Cole, Steve is one of my good friends and I'd sure love to see you call him a fool to his face".

Cole: "Couldn't be that bad.... I call to yours"!

"THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. HE IS GETTING HIS HANDS LOOSE AS HE APPROACHES THE MENACING STRUCTURE.

Lawler: "Okay let's move on, let's talk about Axl Irvin's chances in this match".

J.R.: "Ya gotta believe that this is a pretty equal playing field. There won't be many technical holds used".

Hudson: "I think I have a decent idea of what most of these guys would do if they were victorious tonight aside from Axl Irvin. I've never gotten a great feel for this guy".

"REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR STRIKES UP AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.

Cole: "Well we all know what this moron would do! In fact, he's probably the main reason this match was made in the first place! Some of the things he has said to The Empire has made my blood boil! This guy to me is an ungrateful buffoon"!

Hudson: "Chaos Wolf has been very outspoken towards The Empire but even I can't deny that they've given him ample opportunity to shine".

"VROOOOOOM...... VROOOOOOOM"..... A REVVING ENGINE LEADS INTO "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST BEFORE DAMION WEST ENTERS THE ARENA TO A VERY BIG CHEER.

J.R.: "The last time we saw Damion West he was superkicking our King of Cable in an effort to get noticed"!

Lawler: "Well it worked. I actually talked to Damion when I got here earlier today and he told me he doesn't necessarily have anything against Chris Tirpak, he was just tired of not being used and wanted his spot at the biggest show of all time! So yes, it worked".

"FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" BRINGS OUT CHRIS TIRPAK. JUST WHEN THE SONG REACHES A STRONG CORD, TIRPAK RAISES THE KING OF CABLE TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND AND HIS SIGNATURE KENDO STICK IN HIS LEFT, GETTING A BIG CHEER BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING.

Cole: "As far as I'm concerned, Tirpak is lucky he doesn't have to defend that title tonight! He's the champion, why isn't it on the line? Thank The Empire"!

Hudson: "OK I've had all I can take of The Empire love from Michael Cole. Turn it down a notch, would ya"?

Cole: "I won't turn it down a notch! I'm excited, no I'm thrilled that we get to watch the six men inside that cell beat the ever living hell out of one another tonight! My only hope is that a few careers end inside that thing"!

J.R.: "Great commentary there from one Michael Cole, I sure hope all of you great fans watching are proud of him. But he is right about one thing, these six men are about to enter hell".

Hell in a Cell/Empire Sweepstakes

Zack Ryder vs. Colt Cabana vs. Axl Irvin vs. Chaos Wolf vs. Damion West vs. King of Cable: Chris Tirpak

Outside referee Marty Elias padlocked the cage door and the bell sounded. The brawl started immediately with all 6 men going right at each other. Bodies began flying all over the place as every man got their shots in. Cabana and Ryder worked together in the early going and were controlling the ring and with the other 4 men all lying about the ring, they got Damion West up for a double flapjack slam. Referee Scott Armstrong was in the ring only to count pinfalls or call submissions. Ryder and Cabana looked at each other but neither man went for the cover. Chaos Wolf got to his feet and Ryder and Cabana combined to take him out with a double clothesline. But Ryder quickly went over and covered West for the 1........2......, but he kicked out. Cabana and Ryder began to argue and Ryder clearly told him only one man can win. Just then, Cabana rocked him with a right hand. Ryder came back with one and the fight was on. Tirpak came from behind with a shot to Ryder and then got him up for a sidewalk slam. Cabana was blindsided by Axl and then Axl drilled him with a running kick to the face. Tirpak and Axl then met face to face. So many times these two have shared the stage at WrestleMania and the rivalry continued. Back and forth they traded shots and the fans cheered for each man, seemingly split down the middle on who they were favoring. Axl was whipped to the ropes but countered with a swinging neckbreaker after Tirpak put his head down a little soon. Axl got up but was pasted by a superkick from West! West got on him with a cover and Armstrong hit the mat for the 1..............2........, but Ryder came over and pulled West off the cover. Ryder then connected with the Ruff Ryder on Axl. West threw a superkick at him but Ryder ducked. West's leg got caught on the head/shoulder area of Ryder and Zack turned it into a backbody drop. West retreated to the corner but Ryder measured him, running in with a kick right to the jaw. The fans loved this move but Ryder didn't have much time to celebrate it as Wolf kicked him in the abdomen and then threw him head first into the cell wall. Wolf began to use the steel structure as his tag team partner, throwing Cabana into it before going to his once rival West and picking him up, grinding his face against the steel cell wall. Ryder was up and he came from behind, hitting a low blow on Wolf before going to the outside of the ring and grabbing a wooden table, sliding it in. The fans really enjoyed this moment as they could see more destruction coming. Ryder set the table up in the middle of the ring and then went back out, pulling some sort of bag out from under the ring. He came in and held the bag up, first pulling out a bottle of lighter fluid. He doused the table with plenty of fluid but before he could do anything else, Cabana came and pushed him over the table. Cabana then grabbed Ryder for a fisherman's buster, driving him hard into the mat. Fans began to get loud as they saw Tirpak wielding his kendo stick. Cabana turned around and was crushed with it. Tirpak then swung it into the side of Ryder before blasting an already downed West with it. Chaos Wolf stood across from Tirpak, daring him to hit him with the stick. Instead, Tirpak threw it at the cell and put his hands up, challenging his long time friend and rival. Wolf threw a punch but missed badly and Tirpak landed a few quick jabs. He then tried to throw Wolf into the cage but Wolf blocked it and elbowed Tirpak in the guy before pushing his head violently into the fence. Wolf then went and grabbed the kendo stick, the same one Tirpak refused to hit him with. He raised it over his head and was about to bring it down on the reigning King of Cable but instead, Axl Irvin came from behind with a shot that knocked the stick out of Wolf's hands. He then turned him around and got him up for the "Axl Cutter" but Tirpak saved Wolf by taking Axl out with a chop block. Tirpak then grabbed his stick and and whipped Wolf across the back with it before using it to choke him. Wolf tried to fight it off but he was fading. Tirpak then took the kendo stick and broke it over Wolf's head. Now carrying just half the weapon, Tirpak went to the top rope, looking for a flying strike on Axl. But Axl countered, charging at him and taking out his feet. Axl went back to the bag that Ryder brought into the ring and pulled out a long BBQ grill lighter, setting fire to the table that was in the ring! As the flames began to burn the wood, Axl grabbed the broken kendo stick and jammed it into the throat of Tirpak. As Tirpak fought for breath, Axl climbed to the top rope and brought the house down with a superplex through the flaming table! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" resonated through the stadium before the second "Holy Shit" chant of the night. Axl took a bit of the brunt of the superplex, but Tirpak definitely got the worst of it. Axl then connected with the "Axl Cutter" on Tirpak and covered him for the 1...................2.............3!

Match Time: 14:30

MEMBERS OF THE BACKSTAGE CREW HIT THE RING WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND PUT OUT THE FLAMES AS THE CELL WAS LIFTED. SCOTT ARMSTRONG RAISED THE ARM OF AXL IRVIN IN VICTORY AS "THE REALEST" PLAYED AGAIN.

J.R.: "After what has to be considered one of the hardest fought matches in a long time, Axl Irvin is the last man standing"!

Hudson: "And he earned it tonight...... that flaming table was nuts"!

Cole: "So there ya go, Axl! Now instead of hanging out in the back whining about what you haven't gotten, make the most of this and join The Empire"!

J.R.: "I feel like I know Axl Irvin, he's been around a long time and I would be very surprised to see him do that".

Lawler: "One thing is sure, he has a very tough choice to make, but first, he needs a good night sleep after that war"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT MICHELLE BEADLE CATCHES UP WITH MARIA.

Michelle Beadle: "Maria..... Maria.... can I get a minute?

MARIA SEEMS A LITTLE ANNOYED, BUT STOPS ANYWAY.

Where have you been? Millions of fans have been worried sick about you".

Maria: "I don't want to answer any of those questions right now".

Michelle Beadle: "OK.... but why are you here? Are you going to.......

Maria: "I'm not going to be at ringside during the main event tonight. I just came to take care of some business".

MARIA WALKS OFF BEFORE THE SHOT RETURNS TO THE RING WHERE HOWARD FINKEL IS STANDING.

Howard Finkel: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the only member of the TWF Hall of Fame Class of 2011"!

"METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT IN A T-SHIRT AND JEANS TO A STANDING OVATION. THE CROWD IS REALLY GIVING IT TO HIM AND HE LOOKS VERY EXCITED.

J.R.: "It is so nice to see this man here tonight at WrestleMania and what a very, very deserving addition to the TWF Hall of Fame".

Lawler: "It was very sad to see Edge's career end the way it did, but he looks as happy as I've ever seen him tonight"!

EDGE TAKES THE MICROPHONE FROM HOWARD FINKEL AND LOOKS OUT INTO THE SEA OF TWF FANS, A SPEECHLESS LOOK ON HIS FACE. CHANTS OF "EDGE" RING THROUGH DENVER AS HE STANDS THERE FOR A GOOD 3 MINUTES, SOAKING IN THE REACTION.

Hudson: "This is amazing. What a moment".

Edge: "Thank you.... I don't even have the words to tell you guys how much that means, but thank you. (Edge let's out a deep sigh) So tonight, I kind of wanted to give the farewell speech that I never really had the chance to give. Obviously, being a part of the TWF Hall of Fame is a dream come true. Is it the way I wanted it to end, no? But can I live with it..... for sure. I came here in November 1999 during the infancy of this company.... back when we had shows like Jakked and Sunday Night Heat.

A GOOD POP RISES FROM THE CROWD.

I remember beating Ken Shamrock for the European title and feeling like I was on top of the world. Little did I know all the achievements I would garner here. But more importantly than that, little did I know all the life lessons I would learn. I grew up in this business but at the same time..... and please don't take this the wrong way..... I'm ready to do something else with my life. But seriously, and I know a lot of guys say this, but I truly mean it. Without you guys, I really don't know how long I would have lasted or how good I would have been. You have always been there, whether it be to cheer me on or wish I had the worst night of my life (laughs). I'm definitely going to miss being out here and being a part of all of this, but I can sleep easy knowing that I gave it my all and became someone you guys can be proud of and someone you can all tell your grandkids about. I want to say thank you to all the guys in the back and I want to say thank you to my best friend Christian. I was pulling for you in that WrestleMania Jackpot match, but in my opinion, you're still one of the best guys in this business bar none. So with.........

JUST THEN, "RUN FOR THE HILLS" BY IRON MAIDEN COMES ON AND TROY GAFGEN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, MAKING HIS WAY DOWN THE LONG ENTRY RAMP.

J.R.: "What the hell is this"?

Troy Gafgen: "Edge..... or should I say Adam. Please stop trying to make these people feel bad for you. Truth is, nobody cares, the TWF is soooo much better without you. But what I want to know is, why can't I be having a match out here, furthering my career and getting exposure at the biggest show of all time instead of you being out here wasting time"?!

THE CROWD BOOS AS GAFGEN NOW ENTERS THE RING.

Edge: "Now calm down, this doesn't have to go like this. I'm not medically cleared to fight and I.......

Troy Gafgen: "Oh we're not gonna fight, but if you don't get out of this ring within about five seconds I'm gonna bitch slap you".

GAFGEN COUNTS TO 1 BEFORE SLAPPING THE TASTE OUT OF EDGE's MOUTH. EDGE GRABS HIS FACE BUT DESPITE THE CROWD URGING HIM, HE DECIDES AGAINST FIRING BACK AND STARTS TO WALK AWAY. WHEN HE DOES, GAFGEN ATTACKS HIM FROM BEHIND.

J.R.: "This is ridiculous! What is this guy's problem"?!

Hudson: "Troy Gafgen is just laying into Edge here"!

GAFGEN PULLS EDGE UP AND WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPES BUT EDGE DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE AND DRILLS GAFGEN WITH A RUNNING KICK TO THE FACE. EDGE GOES TO LEAVE THE RING BUT STOPS HIMSELF. THE CROWD IS NOW CHEERING AS LOUD AS THEY HAVE ALL NIGHT. EDGE LOOKS DOWN AND SEEMS TO BE CONTEMPLATING SOMETHING VERY HARD. GAFGEN GETS UP AND EDGE TURNS TO HIM, CHARGING IN WITH A SPEAR! THE CROWD LET's OUT A MASSIVE POP.

J.R.: "Spear....... spear"!

Cole: "He just couldn't help himself could he? Not medically cleared me ass"!

"METALINGUS" PLAYED AGAIN AND EDGE STOOD IN THE RING TAKING IN THE CHEERS AS FIREWORKS POPPED OFF FROM ALL FOUR TURNBUCKLES, SHOOTING INTO THE COLORADO SKY.

J.R.: "Gafgen asked for every bit of that and he's lucky he didn't get more! Edge is a true Hall of Famer and easily one of the best we've ever seen"!

Hudson: "I have to wish Edge the best in his future...... he was fun to watch"!

THE FANS CONTINUE TO CHEER EDGE AS HE MAKES HIS FINAL WALK TO THE BACK. MOMENTS LATER, "KOW" BY CODY B. WARE COMES ON AND CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI COMES OUT FROM THE BACK WITH CHRIS HERO.

J.R.: "Congratulations to Edge..... classy in every sense of the word. But here we go with the Tag Team title match and here comes the team that emerged from the tag team tournament that was held and what a chance for these guys tonight".

Lawler: "We had sixteen great tag teams in that tournament, J.R., but it was these guys who in my opinion were clearly the best team in it but tonight, it's a tall task to say the very least".

J.R.: "These two guys had a goal to just make it here to the TWF to showcase their tag team talents but here they are at WrestleMania 12 with a chance to become Tag Team champions of the world".

"I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED COMES ON AND THE FANS ROAR WITH CHEERS AS MONICA BRINGS OUT THE BOOGEYSAINTS. THE BOOGEYMAN CRAWLS DOWN THE RAMP WITH HIS TAG TEAM BELT AROUND HIS NECK. THE SADISTIC LOOKING EDDIE SAINT JAMES IS HOLDING HIS BELT IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

Lawler: "But they have to beat this team..... a team that has never lost! A team that has held onto those titles since January of 2009, longer than any title in TWF history"!

J.R.: "We all know the legacy that this unorthodox team has made and although many wrestling purists still aren't willing to give them any credit, there's no denying their success. Listen to how they've grown on these fans too..... I can remember a time when they were as despised as any guys we had around here".

Lawler: "Keep in mind that it was The BoogeySaints themselves that set this tournament up. They had beaten every team in the TWF and they went outside the organization just to find some competition"!

J.R.: "Well I believe they've found some in Hero and Castagnoli however Monica and her boys will try to make it a clean sweep here tonight in Denver after Monica got what I felt was one of the more decisive victories we've seen in years over Stephanie McMahon earlier tonight".

TWF Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: The Kings of Wrestling vs. The BoogeySaints w/ Monica

Hero and Castagnoli got a good look at the TWF tag belts before referee Scott Martin handed them to the timekeeper and asked for the bell to start the match. Hero got in with The Boogeyman who was chomping on some worms as the match got underway. Unfazed, Hero moved in with a kick to the body, knocking worms everywhere. Hero then went for an irish whip but Boogeyman reversed it and caught him with a big powerslam. He then got Hero up and bounced him face first off the top turnbuckle pad before picking him up for some sort of reverse slam. Instead, Boogeyman fell straight forward, driving Hero's face and chest into the mat. It looked like the match could be over quickly as Boogeyman rolled him over and got a 2 count before Hero kicked out. Hero was clearly hurt however as Boogeyman went and made the tag to the six foot eight Saint. Saint James came in and rocked Hero with some forearm shivers in the corner before picking him up and delivering a huge sidewalk slam. The Saint then hit the ropes and dropped a big elbow across his chest. Instead of going for the cover, The Saint got him up and made the tag back to Boogeyman who came in with a big clothesline to take Hero down. The Boogeyman then began to do his familiar "Boogey dance" before getting Hero up and shooting him into the corner. With a head of steam, the red face painted Boogeyman stormed in but missed a flying body splash when Hero moved out of the way. Still smarting from the punishment he had already taken, Hero landed a jumping insuguri to the back of Boogeyman's head. Both men were down but Hero was able to get to his corner and bring in the fresh Castagnoli. Claudio came in and swarmed The Boogeyman with right hands and a european uppercut. Off an irish whip, Castagnoli then shot Boogeyman way up into the air with a backbody drop. Some of the crowd was starting to get behind the KOW, believing that they could possibly do this. Castagnoli pulled The Boogeyman up and then ran the ropes before just erasing him with a vicious bicycle kick. The Saint knew his partner was in trouble, coming into the ring and meeting Castagnoli with some right hands. As the two brawled, Martin moved in to break it up and get The Saint back to his corner. This allowed The Boogeyman to come from behind with a low blow before putting Castagnoli down with a backdrop suplex. The Saint then got the tag and came in and put the boots to Castagnoli. From there, he picked him up and used the top rope to press the throat of Claudio down on. The Saint then backed up, measuring Castagnoli, who turned directly into a running boot to the face that sent a loud smack through the stadium. Castagnoli looked like he may be out as The Saint made the cover for the 1....................2..........., but Castagnoli got his right shoulder off the mat. The Saint got him up and poured on some more right hands as Monica yelled "Finish him" from the floor. The Saint whipped him to the ropes but when he dropped his head, Castagnoli countered with a double axe handle to the back of the head. Castagnoli fell to the mat and both men were down. They both began to work their way to their corners. Boogeyman reached into his pocket and grabbed another handful of worms, stuffing it into his mouth. He looked very eager to get in the ring and The Saint slapped his hand. Castagnoli was almost to his corner but Boogeyman grabbed his right foot and dragged him back to the center of the ring. Castagnoli rolled over but Boogeyman used both hands to begin to choke him. In a very disgusting instance, Boogeyman then drooled the worms all over Castagnoli, who could do nothing about it. He then got Castagnoli up and was looking for his double handed chokeslam but Castagnoli fought free and as he fell back, he was alert enough to hold out his hand, which Hero slapped. Castagnoli then crushed Boogeyman with a devastating running European uppercut before running to the opposite corner and knocking The Saint to the floor with his bicycle kick. Boogeyman slowly got to his feet and looked like he didn't even know where he was. Hero positioned himself behind him and grabbed him in position for a reverse DDT but then hit the "Hero's Welcome", driving Boogeyman into the mat. Hero went into a cover, hooking the inside leg and Martin pounded the mat 3 times to signal the end of the match and the end of the longest title reign in TWF history!

Match Time: 13:40

J.R.: "They've done it! Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli have won the titles"!

Lawler: "I can't believe this, J.R., I thought this day would never come"!

THE CAMERA GOT A GREAT SHOT OF MONICA, WHOSE JAW HAD LITERALLY DROPPED.

J.R.: "What a moment! What a night for this team, relatively unknown by mainstream wrestling fans but that just changed! That just changed in a big way"!

"KOW" BLARED AGAIN AS MARTIN HANDED THE BELTS TO HERO AND CASTAGNOLI, WHO EACH PROUDLY HELD THEM UP AS CAMERAS FLASHED EVERYWHERE TO CAPTURE THE MOMENT.

Lawler: "I'm still in utter shock, but you have to give these guys credit! They had to beat four teams just to win these belts and now they have done something that no team has ever been able to do"!

J.R.: "I really believe this is the beginning of two men becoming household names in this industry! WrestleMania 12 belongs to the Kings of Wrestling"!

BACKSTAGE........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK HAVE FOUND TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND IT's LIKE A SCENE FROM THE PAST AS HE HITS A PUNCHING BAG. MONEY MIKE WALKS UP WITH SOMETHING IN HIS HAND.

Money Mike: "You about ready"?

Travis Wakeman: "Yeah........

MIKE HANDS THE FILE HE WAS GIVEN EARLIER TO WAKEMAN.

Money Mike: "Someone gave me that earlier".

Travis Wakeman: "Wait a minute, I remember this file. I know who it is...... I know who we're facing tonight. Well, at least one of them".

THE SHOT GOES BACK INTO THE STADIUM WHERE THE TWF TRON IS DISPLAYING THE WRESTLEMANIA PROMO SHOT OF THE UNDERTAKER VS. STING MATCH.

Hudson: "That's for sure..... it's definitely showtime as we are about to witness one of this industry's all time dream matches"!

Cole: "We've heard it for years.... what would happen if Sting faced The Undertaker! Well you don't have to wait any longer because right here, right now at WrestleMania, it's about to become a reality"!

THE STADIUM LIGHTS ARE SHUT OFF AND THE ONLY LIGHT BEING PROVIDED IS FROM THE MOON. THE CROWD CHEERS WHEN STING's MUSIC HITS. IT PLAYS FOR A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE HE APPEARS FROM THE BACK, A SPOTLIGHT SHINING ON HIM AS HE APPROACHES THE RING.

Hudson: "For months we have heard about this showdown. Sting himself has said it's the one and only reason he came here to the TWF. He knew how bad the fans wanted to see this match and we are just moments away"!

Cole: "We've seen the two play some head games with one another but it's all out the window now! It's The Undertaker versus Sting.... may the best man win"!

Hudson: "Despite all of their antics leading up to this match, I have it on good authority that these two have great mutual respect for one another".

THE LIGHTS STAY OFF AS A BELL TOLLS TWO TIMES. THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC COMES ON AS A DOZEN DRUIDS, 6 ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RAMP, HOLD OUT WOODEN TORCHES AND CREATE AN ARCHWAY OVER THE ENTRANCE. SLOWLY, THE UNDERTAKER MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP, WALKING UNDER THE FIRE. STING IS SHOWN IN THE RING, HIS EYES FIXED ON HIS ONCOMING OPPONENT.

Cole: "Oh who cares about all of that mutual respect crap! Both these guys want to win this match more than anything and I'm sure they'll stop at nothing to make sure they do"!

Hudson: "The fans are sure to get their money's worth here! As far as I'm concerned, this is a WrestleMania main event and would you believe we still have four more matches after this one"?!

THE UNDERTAKER REACHES THE RING STEPS AND BEGINS TO WALK UP BEFORE HOLDING HIS ARMS OUT AS THE STADIUM SLOWLY COME BACK ON.

REFEREE MIKE CHIODA HAS DRAWN THE ASSIGNMENT OF OFFICIATING THE MATCH. BOTH ANNOUNCERS SAY NOTHING AS UNDERTAKER ENTERS THE RING AND THE ENTIRE CROWD TAKES IN THE TENSE PRE-MATCH MOMENT.

Sting vs. The Undertaker

The crowd was absolutely buzzing as the bell sounded to start this match. Undertaker and Sting circled each other before Taker moved in, trying to tie him up. Sting ducked his lunging attempt and grabbed Undertaker in a standing waistlock. Undertaker nailed him with a back elbow before running the ropes but Sting came up with a surprising hip toss. Undertaker got up but was met with 2 right hands before Sting whipped him to the ropes and landed a nice dropkick. Taker rolled out of the ring but Sting didn't want to give him a moment to recover, diving through the ring ropes with a suicide dive. Undertaker was able to move out of the way and Sting hit the floor hard, using both hands to brace his fall. He seemed to injure his right hand and Taker picked him up, whipping him into the ring steps. The steps separated into 2 sections following the impact. Undertaker then scooped Sting up and slammed him to the floor before rolling him into the ring. He then pulled Sting's head under the bottom rope and let it hang off the ring apron. He then got up on the ring apron and looked for a legdrop but Sting had it scouted, moving out of the way. Sting then went back outside the ring and grabbed Undertaker, slamming his head off one of the sets of ring steps. Undertaker got back into the ring but Sting followed. He landed some right hands but his hand was definitely hurting him as he shook it off. He then shot Undertaker to the corner and ran in but Taker moved out of the way and then ran the ropes himself, kicking Sting right in the face. Undertaker then got him up and dropped him over the top turnbuckle with a snake eyes. From there, Taker slapped on his standing dragon sleeper, looking to put Sting away. Sting was able to reach his right hand out and grab the top ring rope to get a break. Undertaker clubbed his exposed chest before he let him go and then he got him right up, shooting him to the ropes. Undertaker then went old school, connecting with a flying clothesline. Speaking of old school, he got Sting up and pulled him to the corner by his right hand before getting to the top rope and walking across it. But again, Sting had done his homework and he used his free hand to yank Undertaker down, throwing him across the ring. Sting then sized Taker up and hit the "Scorpion Deathdrop", driving the back of the head of Undertaker into the mat. He covered him and got 1........2......., but Taker got a shoulder off the mat. Quickly following up, Sting went over and grabbed the feet of Taker, trying to set up the Scorpion Death Lock. But as he dropped his head, Taker pulled him right into 'Hell's Gate'. The crowd began clamoring, almost in disbelief as Sting struggled hard to get free. He couldn't seem to do it and he looked to go limp. Chioda asked Undertaker to get off as he checked on Sting. Chioda looked like he was about to wave the match off until Sting took a page right out of his opponent's book, sitting straight up! Undertaker looked shocked before running the ropes and kicking Sting right in the head. He then got him up and delivered a big time chokeslam. Undertaker made the cover but could only get a 2 count! Undertaker got Sting up and a big clothesline took him over the top rope and to the floor. As Sting did earlier, Undertaker pulled off a leap to the outside, but this one was just amazing. Taker cleared the top rope after a running start and flew down towards Sting but Sting was able to move out of the way and Undertaker landed very hard and awkwardly on the floor. Sting knew this was his chance as he got what appeared to be an exhausted Undertaker up and rolled him into the ring. Sting whipped him into the corner and flew in with a perfect Stinger Splash. Undertaker stumbled around the ring with his hands up, but he looked like he didn't know where he was. Sting pushed him to the corner again and set up for another Stinger Splash. But this time, Undertaker got him by the throat and this time delivered a falling chokeslam. Undertaker stood up and got Sting up for the Tombstone. But Sting countered by grabbing the left foot of The Undertaker with both hands. He was eventually able to bring Taker down to one knee and then got free. Sting ducked a clothesline and hit the ropes on the other side, diving at Undertaker with a crossbody. Undertaker, however, caught him in mid air and then with a demonic look on his face, slung him to his shoulders and delivered a Tombstone! He covered Sting, crossing his arms across his chest and getting a 1.................2................, but Sting got out! Undertaker and most of the crowd were in total amazement. Undertaker pulled Sting up and delivered another Tombstone but this time, he jumped into it. Sting looked to be completely out after the impact and this time, Undertaker used a conventional cover, hooking the leg and finally putting him away.

Match Time: 19:19

Hudson: "Wow"!

Cole: "Listen to this crowd....... we've just witnessed a classic"!

THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE WAS DECLARED THE WINNER BUT HE CONTINUED TO LOOK DOWN AT STING, DEFINITELY SURPRISED WITH HOW MUCH IT TOOK TO BEAT HIM.

Hudson: "An instant classic for sure! That was a tremendous, tremendous match! I don't feel like I have the words to describe it"!

UNDERTAKER LEFT THE RING AND AS HE WALKED AWAY, STING WAS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF UP, LOOKING AT UNDERTAKER WITH MOST OF HIS FACE PAINT NOW PEELED AWAY. UNDERTAKER TURNED TO SEE STING AND THEN HEADED BACK FOR THE RING.

Cole: "It looks like it may not be over..... Undertaker is coming back"!

UNDERTAKER GOT INTO THE RING AND GOT NOSE TO NOSE WITH STING AS THE CROWD WONDERED WHAT MAY HAPPEN. FINALLY, UNDERTAKER REACHED HIS HAND OUT AND STING ACCEPTED IT, SHAKING HIS HAND IN A GREAT SHOW OF RESPECT.

Hudson: "And there ya go...... a fitting end to a match between two warriors.... two legends of this business and if you ask me, we just got everything we thought we would and then some tonight"!

Cole: "I can't even argue that. I felt privileged to be a part of that".

Hudson: "A phenomenal effort shown by both men..... what a great match that was".

BACKSTAGE......

MATT CRUZ IS SHOWN IN THE BACK, APPARENTLY TALKING TO MARIA THROUGH A DOOR THAT IS CRACKED OPEN. MARIA HOWEVER CANNOT BE SEEN.

Matt Cruz: "I just want to know what's wrong and where you've been".

Maria: "I just think it would be best that I don't go out there tonight..... I don't have anything else to say. I had to be here tonight because I wanted to be here for the big event, but I don't want to be a distraction out there".

Matt Cruz: "OK, but after tonight we need to talk".

CRUZ WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A WIND CHIME IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A VERY EERIE TUNE. SECONDS LATER, GUNDAM STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK.

Hudson: "Oh here we go....... this one is going to be ugly".

Cole: "Take yourselves back if you can to TWF Code Red: WildCard. Everyone thought we were going to see a brand new TWF Universal champion as Jordan Rockwell climbed up the ladder that night but it was this man...... this man who prevented it from happening".

Hudson: "And from there we not only learned that this man actually faked his death but came back, revealing all of that, because of some sort of sadistic hatred towards Jordan Rockwell".

Cole: "Although I don't condone faking his death, I can see why Gundam hates Rockwell as much as he does".

Hudson: "Oh stop it.....

Cole: "No you stop it! Jordan Rockwell has taken everything that should have been given to Gundam! Gundam was here first, Gundam should be the Franchise, Gundam should be the man all these people love and revere and instead...... he had to fake his death just to get away from here"!

Hudson: "That's disgusting and possibly the most preposterous thing I've ever heard you say! You act like faking your own death should be taken lightly! To me, he's a coward and he's lucky he's even gotten a second chance here in the TWF! Thank God Steve Austin did the right thing by removing his name from the Hall of Fame"!

THE FANS GO BERSERK WHEN "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO COMES ON AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. HE STOPS ON THE TOP OF THE SET TO LOOK OUT AT THE CROWD BEFORE CONFIDENTLY HEADING TO THE RING.

Cole: "Think what you want, Hudson, but I've been here longer than you have. I've had to listen to how great Jordan Rockwell is for years and years. Gundam isn't the only one who feels that way towards him".

Hudson: "Well this crowd is clearly behind Rockwell, I'd say nearly one hundred percent and all feelings aside, we definitely have two amazing competitors in that ring tonight and I expect to see a great contest"!

Cole: "Well in case you haven't heard him correctly, Gundam has made it clear he could care less about pinfalls and submissions. He came back to the TWF for one thing and one thing only and that is to destroy Rockwell and end his career once and for all"!

Gundam vs. Jordan Rockwell

As Rockwell got into the ring and peered out into the crowd, Gundam left the ring and crawled underneath it. Rockwell turned around along with referee Charles Robinson and Gundam was nowhere to be seen. They looked at each other and Rockwell began to look around frantically. Gundam came out from under the ring on the side that was to Rockwell's back and he attacked him from behind. After several chops to the back and and the back of the head, Gundam draped Rockwell's head over the middle ring rope and began to choke him by pressing his knee against his neck. Gundam then ran the ropes on the far side and slid under the bottom rope, spitting green mist in his face! Robinson began to yell at Gundam and looked like he was going to disqualify him, but Rockwell actually asked him not to, saying he wanted the match to continue. Robinson got a towel from the timekeeper and allowed Rockwell to wipe his face, clearing his eyes. But Gundam used this to attack him again, charging in and kicking him in the gut. Gundam then wrapped the towel around Rockwell's neck, again choking him. Allowing Rockwell to hang in and fight, Robinson was letting it go. Gundam dropped Rockwell face first to the mat and then stomped on his back multiple times before pulling him up and pushing him into the corner where he blasted his chest with some stiff knifedge chops. In pristine shape, Gundam was really laying it on thick now. He went to the top rope and pushed his knee against the back of Rockwell's head. It appeared that he wanted to drive him into the mat that way but Rockwell finally came up with a counter, flinging Gundam over his head. He then ran him over with a clothesline when he got up before going to the mat with him, trying to tie him up with some sort of submission hold. Gundam got free and both men got to their feet. Rockwell threw a right hand that Gundam easily avoided before catching him with a nasty switch kick to the head. Gundam then got down and used his right hand to choke Rockwell, staying in clear control of the match. Gundam then went outside the ring and grabbed a steel chair. He got up on the apron with it but Robinson stopped him, not allowing him to bring it into the ring. As Gundam and Robinson argued, Rockwell got up and charged across the ring with a Masahiro Chono style kick, pushing the chair right into Gundam's face! Gundam fell hard to the ground outside the ring and the fans were awoken by the impact. Rockwell went outside the ring, now seeming fully revived. After bouncing Gundam's head off the ring apron, Rockwell rolled him into the ring and was starting to get things going offensively. After hitting his sitout spinebuster, Rockwell got a 2 count. He then decided to do something we have rarely, if ever, seen Rockwell do. Rockwell went to the top rope and pointed two fingers towards the sky. In what seemed to be a tribute to Randy Savage, Rockwell flew off the top rope with a big elbow drop but Gundam moved out of the way. Both men were down and they each used the ring ropes to pull themselves up. Rockwell turned around and almost walked into a superkick but he ducked out of the way and the kick struck Robinson, knocking him silly. Rockwell tackled Gundam and applied an STF. He had Gundam in a lot of trouble, but out from the back came The Empire's Matt Morgan. Morgan got into the ring and stomped right on the back of Rockwell's head. Morgan and Gundam then began to beat on the Franchise until from the crowd came none other than the hockey masked freak, Nails! Carrying his trademark fire poker, Nails got into the ring and used the handle of it, bashing Morgan in the back of the head. He then turned and smashed Gundam with the weapon, knocking him straight to the mat. The fans were absolutely buzzing as Rockwell and Nails stood across the ring from one another, just staring at each other. Nails then left the ring, seemingly for Rockwell to clean up the mess. Nails then went over to help Robinson up as Rockwell pulled Gundam up and lifted him into both arms. Rockwell then hit the "Eternal Flame" and Gundam was out. But Rockwell didn't stop there. He got Gundam up again and hit a second Eternal Flame. Gundam was now just a crumpled mess in the ring as Rockwell covered him with a lateral press and he pressed his forearm against the face of Gundam as Robinson got down and made the 3 count.

Match Time: 11:49

Cole: "What the hell was that?! There's no way that just happened"!

Hudson: "Nails has returned to the TWF and helped Jordan Rockwell foil The Empire's plans"!

"SAVE ME" PLAYED AS ROCKWELL STOOD OVER GUNDAM, LOOKING LIKE HE WANTED TO DO EVEN MORE DAMAGE.

Cole: "I hope Rockwell gets fired over this! This is ridiculous"!

Hudson: "Gundam threatened Rockwell's life if I'm not mistaken! The Empire has made his life a living hell for well over a year! This is payback at it's finest"!

ROCKWELL USED HIS FOOT TO ROLL GUNDAM OUT OF THE RING. HE THEN WENT OUT WITH HIM AND GRABBED THE STEEL CHAIR HE WANTED TO USE EARLIER. GUNDAM STOOD UP AND ROCKWELL WRAPPED THE CHAIR AROUND HIS HEAD, KNOCKING HIM OUT.

Cole: "Good lord..... that's enough"!

"SAVE ME" PLAYED AGAIN AND ROCKWELL GOT INTO THE RING, HOLDING UP THE DENTED CHAIR HE JUST BLASTED GUNDAM WITH AND LET OUT A HUGE ADRENALINE FILLED YELL.

Hudson: "Jordan Rockwell has set back the challenge of Gundam who many thought had left this life years ago but tonight, he's been decimated"!

A VIDEO PACKAGE STARTS UP DETAILING TONIGHT's UNIVERSAL TITLE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH. JOE COREY INTRODUCING HIS NEW PROTEGE, MAX OGDEN, BACK IN 2005 IS SHOWN. NEXT IS SEVERAL CLIPS OF THE MANY BATTLES BETWEEN COREY AND JOHN CENA. WE FAST FORWARD TO THIS YEAR WITH JOHN CENA BEING MYSTERIOUSLY ATTACKED PRIOR TO FACING JOE COREY FOR THE UNIVERSAL TITLE. THAT LED TO MUCH SPECULATION AS TO WHO WAS THE PERPETRATOR, BUT WHEN JOHN CENA RETURNED, HE ATTACKED OGDEN WHO WE LATER FOUND OUT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACK. FEELING THE FOCUS WAS ALL ON THE RIVALRY BETWEEN CENA AND OGDEN, JOE COREY ACQUIRED THE SERVICES OF LEGENDARY MANAGER SUNNY. COREY TOUTS HIS UNDEFEATED RECORD VERSUS CENA AS THE VIDEO PACKAGE CONCLUDES.

"CAPRICORN" BY 30 SECONDS TO MARS COMES ON AND OUT COMES M.X. OGDEN WITH AJ LEE. HE HAS THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST.

Howard Finkel: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall and it is for the TWF Universal championship! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by AJ Lee..... from Memory Lane, weighing in at two hundred seventeen pounds, he is the TWF Intercontinental champion..... M.X. Ogden"!

Hudson: "And here we go, the main event from TWF PrimeTime as three men will square off here in Denver for one of the biggest prizes in this industry".

Cole: "M.X. Ogden is moments away from the biggest match of his career.... he could leave here with two titles"!

Hudson: "And how would that be right? This man attacked someone just to get into this match".

Cole: "Wait a minute, are you insinuating that he couldn't have gotten this opportunity on his own, cause that's sure as hell what it sounds like"!

Hudson: "I won't back down from my statement, Michael, M.X. Ogden would not be in this match if not for the per-meditated sneak attack on John Cena".

"MY TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A MUCH MORE FAVORABLE REACTION THAN HE IS USED TO RECEIVING.

Howard Finkel: "Introducing next, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing two hundred fifty one pounds, John Cena"!

HE SALUTES THE CROWD BEFORE MAKING A SPRINT TO THE RING AND SLIDING IN UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE. HE LOCKS EYES WITH OGDEN AND A TENSE STARE DOWN BEGINS.

Cole: "So it's a win-win situation then, because by that logic, it put John Cena in this match too! Joe Corey is the one who has to defend his title against these two guys"!

Hudson: "Well don't expect me to feel sorry for him, but it's clear that Ogden and Cena are ready to go right now"!

GOLD PYRO QUIETLY SPRAYS OFF THE SET AS THE LOVELY SUNNY WALKS OUT IN A GOLD DRESS. SHE APPLAUDS AND THEN TURNS BACK TO LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE AS "AMAZING" BY KANYE WEST COMES ON. JOE COREY WALKS OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Howard Finkel: "Led to the ring by Sunny, weighing in at two hundred ninety-five pounds, from Boston, Massachuetts...... he is the TWF Universal champion..... The Show..... Joe...... Corey"!

Cole: "Yes..... stand up and applaud this man, Hudson. This is a champion we can all be proud of"!

Hudson: "I'm not going to stand up and applaud.... Joe Corey has done nothing to make me proud of him".

Cole: "What the hell is wrong with you?! This man has faced all challengers and conquered them all! He's beaten two men in one night, he's beaten the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase holder....... he is a proud champion"!

Hudson: "Yeah, and he's also tried to get into the good graces of The Empire which has led to him getting out of matches due to sneak attacks both during and before title matches! Tonight, he's got two men standing in his way and he doesn't even have to be pinned or submitted to lose that belt".

Cole: "Oh and that's fair! You say that like it's a good thing"!

Hudson: "I'm just ready for what should be a great match and I'm sure the entire viewing audience is too"!

Triple Threat/TWF Universal Title Match

M.X. Ogden w/ AJ Lee vs. John Cena vs. (c) "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Sunny

Referee Mike Chioda held the Universal title up and the crowd was more than ready for the action to get underway. Immediately, Cena swarmed on Ogden with a flurry of punches and kicks, knocking him into the corner. AJ screamed from the outside, trying to distract Cena but with a severe aggression, Cena laid into Ogden. Corey tried to come from behind but Cena turned around and dealt him a few shots as well. Cena then shot Corey to the ropes and nailed a big clothesline. Ogden was up and ran in, catching Cena with a forearm to the temple. He then grabbed him in a side headlock and held him long enough for Corey to come over and help deliver some punishment. Working in tandem, Corey and Ogden began to wear Cena down. Off an irish whip, Corey kicked him in the abdomen and Ogden grabbed him for a nice tornado bulldog. Ogden then looked over at Corey and the two men wasted no time trading shots. Corey missed with a clothesline and Ogden quickly rolled him up, getting a 1 count. Corey got up and ran right into a small package. This time, Ogden got a 2 count. Both men got to their feet and Corey kicked Ogden right in the crotch. He then loaded him up for the "Showstopper" but Ogden countered by lifting him up and driving him into the mat with an Alabama Slam. Ogden fell into a cover but before he could get any kind of a count, Cena came over and yanked him off before locking in an STF in the center of the ring. The crowd was cheering, recognizing the bad spot Ogden was in. He tried to move towards the ropes, but Cena wasn't going to allow that to happen. Finally, Corey came from behind with a stomp to the back of Cena's head. He then got Cena up and shot him into the ropes, delivering a textbook spinebuster. After 2 quick elbows, Corey went back over to Ogden and hit a backdrop suplex. Corey was ruling the ring at this point, kicking each man in the ribs any time they tried to get up. Finally, AJ got up on the apron and slapped Corey in the back of the head! Sunny ran over and pulled AJ down and the two women struggled on the ground, pulling hair and throwing open handed slaps. In the ring, AJ's momentary distraction allowed Ogden to move in and pull Corey down across both his knees. Ogden quickly made the cover and got 1............2............., but Corey was up! Cena got up but Ogden kicked him low and then hit a pretty jumping spin kick to the face. He then sprung off the middle turnbuckle and drilled Corey with a jumping knee right on the jaw! Corey fell back and was in a lot of trouble as Ogden went to the top rope. Peering into the crowd, Ogden could see this was his moment. He performed the flipping legdrop, a move known once as the 'Harlem Hangover', and he landed it right across the throat of the champion. Ogden covered him and got 1....................2..........................., but just in time, Corey's left shoulder came off the mat. The count couldn't have possibly been closer. Knowing the title was within his grasp, Ogden got Corey up but Corey exploded out of nowhere by driving Ogden into the corner and then blasting him with a stiff right hand. Cena ran in and grabbed Corey from behind, delivering his spinning side slam. He then set Corey up for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Cena dusted his shoulder off and then ran the ropes, hitting the move. But right when he got up, Ogden struck with the "Memory Maker". We had a new champion, but Ogden was slow to make the cover. He crawled on top of Cena and got 1................2......................, but Corey jumped onto him out of desperation to prevent the 3 count. Corey got Ogden up and connected with an impaler-style DDT. Corey felt it was time for him to pull out all the stops. He went to the apron and ascended the turnbuckle. Corey was ready to take flight from the top rope but Ogden got up and fell into the ring ropes, crotching the champion. Cena got up and shook off the cobwebs before charging across the ring and dumping Ogden over the top. Cena then went over and snatched Corey off the top rope, delivering the "F-U" in the center of the ring. Chioda got in position as Cena made the cover, hooking the leg and getting the victory.

Match Time: 15:37

Hudson: "That's it! New champion"!

Cole: "Joe Corey was moments away from ending this match...... that's clear to me! John Cena is........

Hudson: "He's what, Michael? Lucky? John Cena is Universal champion and Joe Corey can no longer hold it over his head that he's never beaten him, cause he just did"!

"THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYED AS CHIODA HANDED CENA THE BELT AND RAISED HIS ARM IN VICTORY. ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, AJ CAME OVER TO A DISAPPOINTED OGDEN AND HANDED HIM HIS INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE. OGDEN GAVE CENA A LONG LOOK BEFORE HE AND AJ HEADED TOWARDS THE BACK.

Cole: "He could't do it again! I really believe that..... Corey should get his chance to get his title back"!

SUNNY CONSOLED COREY OUTSIDE THE RING AS THE CELEBRATION CONTINUED FOR CENA.

Hudson: "Well it's not his title anymore..... as of right now, it belongs to John Cena! What a night this has been"!

J.R.: "And things are about to become explosive here in Denver as we get ready for what has to be one of the biggest tag team matches in history"!

Lawler: "I absolutely can't wait for this one..... two of the biggest names the TWF has ever seen taking on two guys who could be just about anyone...... nobody knows"!

THE CROWD REACTS WHEN MONEY MIKE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COME OUT TO THE EMPIRE THEME. MOSTLY BOOS ARE HEARD, BUT A FEW CHEERS ARE MIXED IN.

J.R.: "And here they come..... what have the men that run this company gotten themselves into tonight? Let's not forget that they were basically baited into this match".

Lawler: "Well Travis Wakeman recognized something tonight and he says he knows who at least one of these guys is"!

J.R.: "Whoever it is, they will walk into the birthplace of the TWF and the home of the current owner to do battle in front of over seventy thousand people"!

AFTER THE MUSIC STOPS, A VOICE COMES OVER THE P.A. SYSTEM.

Voice: "So you recognized that file, huh Wakeman? The file that you guys released me over. Yes, I killed a man..... but it was years ago. And now..... now that I have appeased his family and settled everything through court, I'm back! See, a certain Texas Rattlesnake thought it would be nice to see me kick the shit out of the two of you tonight...... and I've already made one appearance".

"LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT STARTS TO PLAY AND A HUGE ROAR IS SENT THROUGH THE CROWD. WEARING HIS SADISTIC HOCKEY MASK, NAILS APPEARS FROM THE BACK.

J.R.: "Nails is one of the opponents"!

Lawler: "We saw him get involved in one match already tonight..... and here he is again"!

J.R.: "And that match was one that The Empire had a keen interest in, so it's clear that the Hardcore Icon has a huge target on the group and he is marching right down to the ring".

Lawler: "Well I hope they've accounted for that fire poker of his.... that thing better not be out here"!

NAILS HAS GOTTEN A MICROPHONE.

Nails: "As for my partner........ well you better get off his tracks.........

"WORTH DYING FOR" BY RISE AGAINST HITS AND A MAN NOT SEEN IN A TWF RING IN YEARS COMES OUT...... THE LOCOMOTIVE STRIFE.

J.R.: "Oh my God"!

Lawler: "I can't believe it..... look at this guy"!

J.R.: "He's got a bit of a different look than he had the last time we saw him..... but he's still seven feet tall and over three hundred pounds of pure madness"!

Lawler: "Why Strife..... what does he have to do with this"?!

J.R.: "Well I don't think The Empire has time to figure that out! They are about to face one of the fiercest tag teams we've ever seen formed around here"!

The Empire: Travis Wakeman and Money Mike vs. Nails and Strife

Nails and Strife entered the ring together and the fight was on. Nails went straight for Wakeman as Strife threw down with Money Mike. The two men who were a mystery up until moments ago were handing it to The Empire. After Nails knocked Wakeman out of the ring with a clothesline, he and Strife combined to lift Money Mike up by the throat and slam him down across one knee each. Referee Chad Patton was doing all he could to gain some control of the match and he finally got Nails to his corner. Strife, looking like a Greek God of sorts, was just tearing into Money Mike. Strife threw Mike into a corner and blasted him with some heavy back elbows. He then lifted Mike up to the top rope and grabbed his right arm, slamming him to the mat. After hitting the ropes, Strife dropped a big elbow and then made the cover but Mike was up at 2. Strife reached out and tagged in his partner but Nails got into the ring and pointed at Wakeman. Wakeman made the tag and got into the ring and the two men met in the center. Nails threw a right hand and Wakeman fired back. But Nails responded with a kick to the gut and then a big headbutt. Nails moved in to follow up but Wakeman grabbed a leg and got a takedown, moving into Nails' guard. He went to the body with a few shots before getting him up and throwing him into the top turnbuckle pad. This didn't seem to effect Nails but Wakeman then whipped him to the ropes, dropping his head a little too soon and Nails came back with a huge piledriver. After a falling headbutt, Nails got Wakeman up and whipped him into a corner. He came in with a running clothesline before going to the body of Wakeman with some stiff hands. After setting Wakeman on the top rope, the crowd became excited as Nails climbed up with him. Nails was trying to set Wakeman up for the top rope powerbomb but Money Mike came over and shoved him off his partner. Nails fell to the mat and Mike made the tag to Wakeman. Patton allowed this to go on so Strife came into the ring and kicked Mike right in the face with a running boot. The crowd felt that Money Mike was probably done but Patton spent some time getting Strife out of the ring. Nails crawled over and draped an arm over Mike's chest but at 2 and a half, Mike kicked out. Both men got to their feet and Nails clocked him with a right hand and then a kick while he was down. He then ran the ropes but Mike responded remarkably with a thunderous powerslam. Showing no ill effects of all the abuse he'd taken in the match, Mike riled the crowd up by saying "Boo that you idiots"! Wakeman then got Patton's attention and Mike kicked Nails square in the crotch. He then hit a move we haven't seen in years, the Bankruptcy! Mike covered Nails, hooking the leg and got 1..............2.............., but Nails got free. Mike went over and made the tag to Wakeman who came in and grabbed the legs of Nails. He may have been looking for the Sharpshooter but Nails raked his eyes and then got up, dropping Wakeman with a knee to the face. Wakeman's nose was busted open, pouring blood and likely broken. Nails stood behind him, looking very demonic. He got Wakeman on his shoulders and put him down with the "Nail Gun". It looked like the match was over as Nails covered Wakeman..... 1..............2.................., but Mike came in to break it up. This brought Strife into the ring and he crushed Mike with a clothesline that took him over the top rope and out of the ring. Strife followed and when Mike got up, he ate a big back elbow that dropped him again. Strife went and grabbed a steel chair, folding it over and waiting for Mike to get to his feet. Patton yelled at Strife, saying "This match shouldn't end like that, put the chair down"! As this was going on, someone came out of the crowd and got into the ring. IT WAS BROCK LESNAR! The crowd reacted with the loudest boos of the night as Lesnar got Nails up and delivered the "F-5"! He quickly left the ring and hopped over the guardrail as Wakeman started to get up, a big smirk on his face. He pulled Nails into his clutches and delivered some sort of swinging reverse STO, a new move for the Technical Magician. Nails was face down, arms at his sides as Wakeman rolled him over and hooked a leg. Strife, not even knowing what had happened, turned and watched the 3 count be made.

Match Time: 13:08

J.R.: My God the surprises just don't stop coming tonight! What the hell was that"?!

Lawler: "Brock Lesnar of all people, the man who walked out on this company and on this business has just aided The Empire in victory"!

THE EMPIRE THEME PLAYED AS STEPHANIE McMAHON, TRISH STRATUS, CARNEY, ALBA RIOS AND MATT MORGAN MADE THEIR WAY TO THE RING. WAKEMAN AND MONEY MIKE HAD THEIR HANDS RAISED IN VICTORY BEFORE THEY CELEBRATED WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP.

J.R.: "Nails and Strife were pulling out all the stops, but I promise they never counted on that"!

Lawler: "Well think back, J.R., do you not remember Travis Wakeman saying this kind of thing was right up their alley"?

J.R.: "This crowd is absolutely stunned over what we just saw! Where did Lesnar go and how the hell did he get in the building"?!

Lawler: "Stunned is an understatement, J.R., they don't know what to think..... and neither do I".

J.R.: "Well coming up is the final match on tonight's slate and it will be for the TWF World title..... take a look".

THE RING BELL SOUNDS AND A BIG CHEER FOLLOWS AS RING ANNOUNCER STEPHEN DeANGELIS TAKES CENTER STAGE.

"CULT OF PERSONALITY" BY LIVING COLOUR COMES ON AND CM PUNK COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS, BUT THERE ARE SOME CHEERS.

Stephen DeAngelis: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the TWF World Heavyweight title! Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at two hundred and eighteen pounds...... CM Punk"!

J.R.: "Jim Korderas, the senior official of Rampage has drawn this assignment tonight".

TWF World Title Match

Challenger: CM Punk vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz

The crowd was raucous as the bell sounded to get things underway. The two men locked up and battled for position but neither could gain the upperhand and the collar and elbow tie up was released. Punk threw a kick that chased Cruz back but Cruz shot in and Punk avoided that. Cruz was able to recover and tie Punk up, taking him into the corner. Punk grabbed the ropes to get a break and an in-ring chess match was on hand. They locked up again and Punk got in the first real shot of the match, a forearm on the mouth. He then went for an irish whip but Cruz reversed it and threw Punk over his head. Punk landed on his feet and threw a head kick but Cruz ducked and came back with a belly to belly suplex. He then got Punk up for a nice double underhook throw. Punk was in trouble early as Cruz made a cover and got a 2 count. Back to the feet and Cruz whipped Punk into the corner and followed in, rocking him with some right hands. Punk was able to block a right hand and kick Cruz across the midsection. He then got Cruz in a Muay Thai clinch and landed a knee to the face that was just devastating. Punk covered Cruz after he crumpled to the mat and got a 2 count of his own. Punk had changed the complexion of the match completely and was now battering Cruz with some sharp kicks. Off a whip to the corner, Punk ran in and drove a knee into the jaw of the champion before grabbing him, delivering a jumping bulldog. Punk again went for the cover, hooking a leg but Cruz was up at 2. Trying to prevent Cruz from even getting off the mat again, Punk landed 2 sharp kicks to the ribs. He then pulled Cruz up and landed 2 more kicks before connecting with a spinning backhand to the head. Punk ran the ropes but Cruz countered by catching him and turning him into a release german suplex. Punk landed hard on his head and even though Cruz was down as well, the crowd loudly cheered. Punk rolled out of the ring and a loud reaction came from the audience as Maria began making her way down the aisle. Maria came over to Punk and shockingly seemed to be helping him. She clearly handed him something which he stuffed into the front of his tights. In the ring, Cruz used the ropes to get to his feet but Punk was back in and he got him up on his shoulders. Sensing the "GTS" coming, Cruz slipped off his shoulders and ran him to the ropes but Punk was able to shake him off and then connect with a round kick to the side of the head. Punk then went into the corner, turning his back to Korderas. He reached into his tights and pulled out what was clearly a pair of brass knuckles, slipping them onto his right hand. But when he turned around, Cruz got up and pulled him into a nasty T-Bone suplex. Cruz was all fired up at this point, feeding off the energy of the crowd who was completely behind him. He went to the top rope, measuring Punk before flying off with an incredible moonsault. Not only did he get tremendous height, he slammed down onto Punk, crushing the challenger. Cruz then hooked the leg and got the 1..............2...................3!

Match Time: 12:46

J.R.: "Matt Cruz has retained the title and this crowd has exploded"!

Lawler: "Yes, but look at Maria"!

"THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYED AND FIREWORKS EXPLODED IN THE DENVER SKY AS CRUZ WAS HANDED THE BELT. HE LOCKED EYES WITH MARIA, WHO WAS SLOWLY WALKING BACKWARDS UP THE RAMP, LOOKING FRIGHTENED.

J.R.: "For the second straight year, Matt Cruz's WrestleMania moment has been marred by outside circumstances and this one is bizarre to say the very least"!

Lawler: "Well I saw it with my own two eyes, J.R., she clearly tried to help CM Punk become champion here tonight"!

J.R.: "Matt Cruz is still TWF World champion, but at what cost"?!

THE FIREWORKS CONTINUE TO POUND OFF AND LIGHT UP THE SKY BUT THE LOOK ON THE FACE OF CRUZ SHOWS HE's FAR FROM SATISFIED.
