[[[- New Era Wrestling had a supreme card last week with many high matches, including Paul Heyman, trying to take back control of his company after Van Dam and Venis over took the tag team championships and then ran straight through the World Title tournament, but in the end, Heyman got the last word unfortunately when The Impact Players hit the highlight of the night when both men joined the Dangerous Alliance, as Paul Heyman left Rob Van Dam and Val Venis in a pool of their own blood. Plus we watched as all the first round title tournament matches take place, as we watched a bunch of shockers. What does Heyman have in store for the Venis/Van Dam connection this week? SHOWTIME IS NEXT!! -]]]

[[[- The scene fades to black, as it then show's a fast motioned graphic lighting up the screen that shows quick motions of pictures of superstars in New Era Wrestling as the adrenaline pumping music is heard. It then all leads up to one small graphic that flash's and says 'The New Era'!! From there the scene slowly fades to black as we see a scene that reminds us of last week's show. It shows many clips of Heyman controlling the show, and Heyman telling Van Dam and Val Venis about their double booking on the following week of Showtime, as we fade out seeing both Venis and Van Dam in a pool of their own blood, thanks to the newest tag team to the Dangerous Alliance, the Impact Players -]]]

[[[- From there the scene slowly fades into the arena as we see the fireworks shoot from both sides of the arena and down to the entrance way as the pyro's explode from all corners as we welcome you all to nEw SHOWTIME!! The camera spans across the wide sea of fans, holding up their signs and going nuts as suddenly... Breaking point nails the PA system, as down from the back walks one half of the nEw tag team champions... Rob Van Dam. He walks out, with a very serious look on his face as he steps through the ropes and into the ring where he takes a microphone immediately, motions for the music man to 'Cut his music' as he begins to speak.... -]]]

Rob Van Dam: Paul.... I know what you're up to. You're stacking the deck against me. I bet if I won this World title tournament match, then that would just kill you wouldn't it Heyman? Well Paul last week when you came out here and shocked me as well as the rest of the nEw fans when you had those punks, Lance Storm and Justin Credible, run down here with their weapons in hand, and beat my ass into a Bolivian! Well Heyman, you beat me there... you got me, but you know something, tonight, I'm going to advance to the final four of the world title tournament and Heyman, your ass will soon belong to (((points to himself))) ROB....... VAN......

[[[- Suddenly Van Dam is interrupted by 'HELLLLLLLLLLO LADIES!' as out from the back wearing his tag team championship around his waist, walks Val Venis. He walks down the aisle, and into the ring, where he takes the microphone.... -]]]

Val Venis: Rob.... nothing makes me more angrier then seeing what happened last week bro, but we have to try and block Heyman out. you and I tonight are a team once again. We didn't get these tag team championship belts for nothing! Rob, tonight, We have to take out the Outlaws, and then get ready once again and beat both our opponents in the world title tournament. So Rob.... trust me, I want Heyman just as bad as you, I can taste it Rob, but we have way more at stake tonight! 

[[[- Without notice, 'THIS IS A NEW ERA' hits as out from the back walks Paul Heyman, with Brock Lesnar at his side, as then he points to the curtain, as Edge & Christian walk out as they stop at the top of the ramp way, as Heyman takes a microphone out of his blazer jacket and begins to speak.... -]]]

Paul Heyman: Well, well, well! Look at what we have in the ring here. Two men I can not stand the most in this company! Val, before you say anything else, why don't you do us all a favor, and take your bottom lip, pull it over your head and swallow! See Val, you walk down here and show Rob, your new 'best buddy' all this support, well I half half a mind to have Brock walk down this ramp way and kick both your asses. But you see, tonight, you both have not one, but two matches, and tonight, you will lose both, leaving you without gold, and out of the world title hunt, and tonight, the Dangerous Alliance will grow stronger, and reign supreme once more over the dynamic duo of Rob Van Dam and Val Venis! Oh yea, and one more thing boys.... TURN AROUND!!!

[[[- Val and Rob Van Dam turn around and waiting for them is both Lance Storm and Justin Credible with kendo sticks. Both men turn around and get nailed with the kendo sticks, knocking both men out cold, as The Impact players hold their kendo sticks up high, then stand over both men, and scream at them. They get out of the ring as the Dangerous Alliance music begins to play as we see Heyman waving to Val and RVD in the ring as he laughs hysterically, as he walks back through the curtain as the other members of the Dangerous Alliance follow. As we zoom up on a hurt Val Venis and Rob Van Dam.... -]]]

Edge: Paul... don't worry, I'll be down there to to make sure it happens... get my drift!!!

Paul Heyman: No you won't!

Edge: Huh?!

Paul Heyman: Edge, do you remember what happened last week on Showtime? Remember the beating Christian gave you? Well tonight, it's time for Christian to break away from you, Christian is a boy amongst men in his matches lately, and doesn't need help from his older brother to win his matches, so Edge I think it's best that you stay back here with me!

Christian: Paul, dude, that totally sucks Hanasity!

Paul Heyman: Christian, you're living in Edge's shadow... it's time to break out and make a name for yourself.... Christian, I want you to go out and beat Chris Benoit single handedly, and show the world, that Christian reigns here in nEw not just as a great tag team wrestler, but as a singles competitor as well!

He steps up the steps and into the ring where he goes and tests the ropes out as suddenly 'CHRISTIAN.... CHRISTIAN... AT LAST YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!' plays as the pyrotechnics blast at the top of the ramp way and out from the back we see Christian. The fans boo like mad, as Christian walks down the aisle way with a very cocky look on his face, he hops over the top rope and into the ring, where he points and taunts Benoit a little more, as the referee warns Christian not to fight until the bell sounds, as Christians music slowly fades down and the bell sounds. Benoit walks over to Christian as the two have a stare off, as they continue to talk to one another as suddenly, Benoit strikes first. He throws some fists into Benoit. Christian falls back into the ropes and Christian gets clothes lined out of the ring. Benoit stands in the ring taunting Christian, as Christian gets back up and rolls into the ring, and Benoit wastes no time kicking the living hell out of Christian. Christian finally gets to his feet holding his ribs and then delivers a low blow to Benoit out of no where. Benoit falls to his knees in pain. Chris then stands up and bounces off the ropes and delivers the leg drop to Benoit. Benoit holds his throat in pain.

Saturn has this very stupid look on his face as he walks down the aisle way, into the ring as Terri walks over, and stands on the bottom rope and bends over, giving the fans in the front row a little peak at her boobs. Perry places Moppy in the corner of the ring, as suddenly the ring goes completely pitch dark as out of no where 'TIME TO PLAY THE GAME' by MotorHead begins to play as the camera zooms up on Triple H, who has his head down, with water in his hand. He takes one last gulp, spits it out and then charges down the aisle, like a pit bull out of his cage. He reaches the ringside area with a serious look on his face as he gets up on the ring apron, takes one last sip of water, and spits it out into a big water mist on top of the ring apron, as he gets into the ring, and Saturn nails Triple H out of no where with a huge forearm to the back of the head. Triple H goes down, and Saturn goes for the cover, 1.... kickout by Triple H. Saturn gets up and thinks he has won the match, but Triple h gets up and just waits for Perry to turn around. Perry turns around and gets a kick to the gut as Terri screams like crazy. She gets on the ring apron and screams for Triple H to stop. Triple H just ignores her, as she unzips her top and reveals her bra to Triple H, as Triple h notices that, and throws Perry down, and walks over to her and starts to scream at her, as Perry grabs Moppy. He pulls back, and Triple h, turns around, ducks and Perry nails Terri with Moppy. Triple H, stands straight back up and kicks Perry in the gut and delivers the PEDIGREE!!
