You know the drill.
(We look back to Jazz forcing Jacqueline to tap out to the STF to win the three-way-dance for the JWL Women's Championship at the Great American Bash, as well as past conflicts in WWE between Jazz and Ivory.)
Opening JWL Women's Title Match: "The Female Fighting Phenom" Jazz © vs. Ivory
Jazz and Ivory go right to it with some hard-hitting offense. Ivory seems excited about being there, since it is her first shot at the title. Ivory gets some slams and elbows for 2. Jazz fights back and overpowers Ivory for a while. Ivory tries coming back but Jazz is just too focused here. Jazz finishes with the STF for the tapout at 7:00.
LG: Here is your winner, and still JWL Women's Champion, 'THE FEMALE FIGHTING PHENOM' JAZZ!
Jazz continues beating up on Ivory after the match until Ivory's Revolution stablemate, and former JWL Women's Champion, Molly Holly makes the save. Molly and Jazz have a staredown until Jazz yells "I'm the best!" and leaves.

Al Snow (w/Head) and Norman Smiley vs. the New Age Outlaws
Snow and Road Dogg start and we get some solid wrestling. JR references Al's matches with Road Dogg's older brother Brad Armstrong in SMW, as well as Road Dogg feuding with Al over the WWE Hardcore Title in early 1999, as well as how Billy Gunn also held the Hardcore Title twice and Smiley held the WCW Hardcore Title twice. Snow takes control and tags in Smiley, who works over the Dogg to some good pops from the crowd. Smiley hits his swinging slam for 2. Dogg struggles but comes back and gets in some offense of his own, getting some two-counts. Dogg tags in Gunn, who does some of his usual stuff, drawing boos. Tenay mentions how Smiley beat Gunn in the main event of Episode 2. Dogg cheapshots Smiley and he and Gunn go for the I-hold-him-you-hit-him spot. Smiley escapes and Gunn hits Dogg instead, sending him to the floor. Smiley gets a schoolboy rollup on the disoriented Gunn for the pin at 8:00.
LG: Here are your winners, the team of AL SNOW AND NORMAN SMILEY!
Crowd cheers. The Outlaws argue until HHH comes out and tells them they need to stick together and that he will be facing Vader in the second half of our double main event in the first round of the JWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. The Clique leaves together, while Snow and Smiley celebrate with the fans.

IF YOU SMELL....
It is time for THE SMACKDOWN HOTEL!
ROCK: FINALLY, THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO THE SMACKDOWN HOTEL! The Rock says there is a very special jabronie guest tonight at the Smackdown Hotel. The Rock knows this jabronie very well. The Rock knows that this jabronie will be his opponent in the JWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. The Rock says, this jabronie will be the first stepping stone to the Rock finally winning the JWL World Heavyweight (pause) Championship. The Rock says, get your ass out here, D-LO BROWN!
(The Real Deal plays, bringing D-Lo out to a big pop.)
D-LO: Rock, you and I go back to 1997 and the Nation of Domination, when we were both rising stars. Sure, you rose a lot faster and a lot further than I did, but where you get off calling the Brown a jabronie? Yeah, you were a 9-time World Champion (7 WWE, 2 WCW), but you ain't won gold since you've been here. Hell, you've hardly wrestled. I've competed in the Real World Tag League tournaments for All Japan Pro Wrestling. I held the Irish Whip Wrestling International Heavyweight Title. I've wrestled for so many promotions around the world I can't name them all right now. The way I see it, this tournament is my chance to finally win a World Heavyweight Title. So shut up about calling me, or anyone else, a jabronie..
ROCK: SHUT YOUR MOUTH! THE ROCK DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHERE YOU'VE WRESTLED! THIS IS THE ROCK'S SHOW, SO SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT!
D-Lo attacks the Rock! Just like last time with Crowbar, a fight has broken out on the set of the Smackdown Hotel! Regal, Christian and Batista run out to join in the fight but Ron Simmons and Crowbar come out to make the save. Crowbar and D-Lo trash talk with the Rock as they leave.

The All-Stars (Mr. Technical" Barry Horowitz and the Brooklyn Brawler) vs. The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Bryan Knobbs, w/"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes)
("Tubthumping" by Chumbawumba plays)
The crowd cheers for the All-Stars, but they have a tall order tonight in the Nasty Boys.
The Nasty Boys go right into brawling and pummeling, negating the All-Stars' technical skills. Sags gets a clothesline and some elbows on Horowitz for 2. Horowitz plays Ricky Morton for a while, drawing great heat. Sags and Knobbs take turns beating on him. After a few minutes of this, Sags misses a splash and Barry gets the hot tag to the Brawler. Brawler cleans house, but Dusty distracts referee Tim White, allowing the Nasties to double-team Brawler. Finally, the Nasties hit the Pitstop Elbow on Brawler for the pin at 8:00. Crowd boos.
LG: Here are your winners, THE NASTY BOYS!
(Victoria video package)
Victoria vs. EZ Rider
Vicky and EZ have an exciting, fast-paced match that draws great reactions from the crowd. Both women get several two-counts. Finally, Victoria takes control and debuts the Widow's Peak for the pin at 6:00.
LG: Here is your winner, VICTORIA!
(The Undertaker "Man who cannot be destroyed" promo for WWE Unforgiven 2007 plays, emphasizing that Taker will make his return to the JWL at Vengeance and that he is coming for Rhino.)
A Daivari/Burmese Python promo plays, where Daivari explains that the Burmese leader Than Shwe gave him the Burmese Python as a gift, thanking Daivari for all the business he has done in Myanmar. Daivari talks about how he took the money he made from wrestling and invested it all over the world, making himself extremely wealthy. He says that his next step will be to bring the Burmese Python and the rest of Daivari International into the JWL and that they will take over the JWL. (The Burmese Python walks into the scene. He is a big man, close to 7 feet tall and over 300 lbs, dressed all in black with a colorful mask.)

Crowd cheers.
JR explains that Crowbar was selected to replace the retired Ric Flair. He adds that Crowbar is facing the biggest challenge of his JWL career.
Crowbar moves fast to stay away from Kane, hitting some dropkicks which have little effect. Kane takes control and throws Crowbar all over the ring. Big Boot gets 2. Crowbar fights back, and gets a dropkick to the knee, which slows Kane a bit. Crowbar gets an enzuigiri, but he can't keep Kane down. Kane keeps control, with Crowbar bumping like a beach ball. Daffney screams encouragement throughout. Finally, Kane hits the chokeslam and signals for the Tombstone. Kane hits it for the pin at 12:00.

They go right into some solid action. HHH actually controls to start, drawing heel heat. Vader fights back to a big pop. They go back and forth with each man getting 2 counts on the other. Vader takes control and goes for the powerbomb, but Road Dogg has distracted referee Chad Patton. This allows HHH the chance to lowblow Vader and hit the Pedigree for the pin at 14:00. Crowd boos.
LG: Here is your winner, advancing to the second round of the JWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, HHH!
The Clique celebrate the win, as Vader waves goodbye to the fans and the show ends.
