Jordan Rockwell: "It's showtime". THE SHOT THEN ZOOMS OUT OF THE SPACESHIP AND THE MAGIC KINGDOM IS SHOWN FROM A LIVE SHOT. THE MELTDOWN LOGO APPEARS ABOVE IT BEFORE THE WORLDWIDE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW WITH ERUPTING FIREWORKS AND PYRO. AN ELABORATE SET IS SHOWN, COMPLETE WITH A ROLLER COASTER AS THE CAMERA PANS THE CROWD, SHOWING SEVERAL FANS SCREAMING THEIR LUNGS OUT AND HOLDING UP THEIR HOMEMADE SIGNS. ONE FAN HAS A SIGN THAT SAYS "I CAME 2500 MILES TO SEE THE TWF ROCK DISNEY"! "And now, Snickers Cruncher and TWF RAW and PrimeTime jointly present..... MeltDown"! PA Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, here to honor America with a rendition of the National Anthem...... Ashanti"! ASHANTI IS SHOWN IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND SHE SINGS A BEAUTIFUL VERSION OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM BUT RIGHT BEFORE SHE CAN GET IT OVER, LA RESISTANCE's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS WITH WILLIAM REGAL. Jim Ross: "Oh no, tell me this is not happening"! Jerry Lawler: "What are these guys doing out here, this is too much". William Regal: "Cut that drivel, that's disgusting. REGAL, DUPREE AND GRENIER ENTER THE RING. I'll have you know that I just looked at some facts in the back and TWF MeltDown is being viewed in thirty seven countries tonight". J.R.: "That's a fact"! Regal: "Now my question is, why is the American National Anthem the only one that gets played? Do you think we wanna hear that crap"? Rene Dupree: "So since this event is being seen by thousands of our loyal fans in France, we are out here to perform our countries National Anthem". J.R.: "Oh for god sake"! Sylvan Grenier: "So William, why don't you remove the trash so we have a clean ring to sing in". REGAL GRABS ASHANTI BY THE ARM AND LEADS HER TO THE ROPES. Lawler: "Oh my gosh"! J.R.: "Unhand her! Unhand her damnit"! LA RESISTANCE STARTS TO SING OVER THE EXTREMELY LOUD BOOS OF THE CROWD WHEN SUDDENLY, SIRENS ARE HEARD AND "HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME" STARTS SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC AND THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS COME OUT AND CLEAN HOUSE AGAINST LA RESISTANCE TO THE THRILL OF THE CROWD. AFTER CLOTHESLINING GRENIER OUT OF THE RING, BILLY GUNN TURNS AROUND AND IS HIT WITH A FOREARM BY REGAL. BUT STEINER COMES FROM BEHIND REGAL AND CATCHES HIM WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX THROW. THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS REGAL CORRALS HIS MEN AND LEADS THEM BACK. "I GOT IT ALL" HITS AND GUNN AND STEINER STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING STARING THE THREE DOWN BEFORE ASKING ASHANTI IF SHE IS OKAY. J.R.: "Thank god for Steiner and Gunn King, what a way to start MeltDown"! Lawler: "Well I'm a fan of Regal and La Resistance but they had no right doing what they just did"! J.R.: "It's a good thing we don't have to call the first match, I'm still hot over that and I'll say this, La Resistance and William Regal can kiss my Oklahoma ass"! Lawler: "Michael Cole and Jesse Ventura are at ringside... let's send it to them"! Jesse Ventura: "I thought we had enough to deal with on PrimeTime with that piece of garbage Aries but this is just as bad"! "619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDER THE RAMP, BRINGING THE CROWD TO THEIR FEET IN CHEER. REY IS WEARING A TURQUOISE MASK AND SILVER PANTS WITH "619" DOWN THE LEG. Michael Cole: "Well this oughta change the mood of this crowd here in Orlando! Here comes Rey Mysterio"! Ventura: "I've been looking forward to a great lightheavyweight contest for a long while now Cole and I think this one is gonna deliver"! "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A POP NEARLY AS LOUD. Cole: "These two are of course great friends and are both part of the Four Elements but I talked to them together earlier today Jesse and they said this is a perfect oppurtunity to show fans what true ability is all about and Jesse, I agree, they're gonna deliver tonight"! Ventura: "Mysterio earned this title shot by winning a battle royale on PrimeTime but he's gonna be hard pressed to take the gold from Carney"! Cole: "These two know each other so well, they've been tagging together for weeks now so I believe it'll be the man who's most creative that walks away with the title"!
TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match Challenger.... Rey Mysterio vs. Carney Fans were treated to a terrific encounter here that started with a tradeoff of arm drags but Carney got into a groove after catching Rey with a jumping calf kick when he ducked a running clothesline. Carney then hit a standing moonsault to get an early 2 count. He landed hard with the point of his knee on Mysterio's and Mysterio grabbed it in pain. Seeing this, Carney twisted his arm and headbutted the elbow before whipping him to the corner. He then hit a twisting body splash and Mysterio stumbled out of the corner before falling to the mat. Carney then tried to hit a springboard moonsault but Mysterio got his knees up. The challenger then hit a running dropkick to the face followed by a face first russian leg sweep right into the ropes. But when he went for the 6-1-9, Carney moved out of the way and dropped Rey with a facebuster. He then went to the top rope and came off with a perfect missile dropkick and went for the cover but only got a 2 count. Mysterio's elbow was still bothering him so Carney looked to put it away with the "C-Drive" but Mysterio escaped and ducked a clothesline. He bounced off the ropes and caught Carney with wheelbarrow bulldog. He went for the cover but Carney got a shoulder up at 2. Rey then whipped him to the corner and hit a spinwheel kick as he came out. The crowd rose as Rey went to the top rope and came off with a flying senton, sitting on the chest of Carney. After all the impact, it seemed over but Carney kicked out at 2 1/2. Rey went for an irish whip but Carney reversed it and sent Rey up with a backbody drop. But Rey landed on his feet and when Carney turned, he put him into the ropes with a drop toehold. Rey then cupped his hands and yelled "619" before delivering one of the fans favorite moves. That led to the "West Coast Pop" but when Rey came off, an alert Carney turned and delivered a spinning heel kick that took Rey right out of the air and he landed very hard on the mat. Carney covered him and hooked both legs to get the 1......2......3. Match Time: 11:19 Cole: "Oh what a shot! Carney has retained the Lightheavyweight title"! Ventura: "We talked about these guys knowing each other's tendencies and that is why that West Coast Pop was unsuccessful Cole"! AS "LOOSE" PLAYED, CARNEY HELPED REY TO HIS FEET AND THE TWO EMBRACED TO THE FANS' DELIGHT. Cole: "And there you see the true respect and admiration these two have for one another! This is great"! CARNEY RAISED REY's HAND AND FIGHTING OFF THE PAIN IN HIS ELBOW, HE POINTED TO CARNEY AS IF TO SAY "HE's THE MAN". BACKSTAGE.... JOHN CENA AND A-TRAIN ARE SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA. John Cena: "Yo Train, that was sick what you did to Angle on RAW man, that was sick"! A-Train: "Oh yeah and I plan on making it much worse". Cena: "Well check this, I got another favor to ask of you". CENA PULLS A WAD OF CASH FROM HIS POCKET. A-Train: (smiling) "Oh yeah, let's talk business". CENA OPENS HIS DRESSING ROOM DOOR AND A-TRAIN ENTERS. CIVIL RIGHTS' MUSIC HITS AND RON KILLINGS COMES OUT ALONG WITH TEDDY LONG. J.R.: "I gotta tip my hat to Rey Mysterio and Carney for putting on one hell of a show in there but now it's time for some RAW action King". Lawler: "Oh and this one is gonna get nasty J.R.! The Truth has been waiting a long time for this day"! THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY BERSERK WHEN THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS IS HEARD AND "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS BLACK VEST AND GOES TO EACH TURNBUCKLE, POSING FOR THE CROWD. J.R.: "You talk about it like it's a forgone conclusion that this is in the bag for Killings! You gotta remember, Austin is one of the best big match performers in the history of this business and I'll never bet against the rattlesnake"! Lawler: "Well you gotta remember what Austin said on RAW J.R.. He's injured! This could very well be his last match and trust me, Killings is gonna try and make sure he never comes back"! J.R.: "Oh I'm sure he will and I'm sure that Teddy Long would like to see it as well! But for Teddy Long to call Austin's injury a cop out from the man is absurd! Austin is a man and tonight, Killings is gonna find that out, win or lose for the bionic redneck"!
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Ron "The Truth" Killings w/ Brother Long The bell sounded and the two men locked up. Austin got the best of it, pushing Killings to the corner. Killings thought something was up and he asked referee Brain Hebner to check Austin for foreign objects. Hebner checked Austin's right boot and found nothing. But when he went to check his left boot, Killings caught Austin with a cheap shot. After 3 hard right hands, Killings put him down with a backbody drop before stomping right on the point of Austin's spinal cord. He then went down into a side headlock, trying to sap all his energy. But when Hebner realized the hold was a choke, he gave Killings a 5 count and forced him to release it. But Killings was in total control. He lifted Austin onto his shoulders and hit an airplane spin neckdrop. Austin was in trouble and Killings rolled him over and made the cover but Austin was up at 2. After a swinging neckbreaker, Killings went to the top rope, looking for a double axe handle but Austin got up and put a fist into his bread basket. Austin then got up and knocked Killings to the corner before stomping on his chest several times and giving him the double bird followed by more stomps. Austin then hit a vertical suplex followed by his running elbow drop. Austin decided to drop the elbow a second time but when he bounced off the ropes looking to make it a trifecta, Long grabbed his foot. Austin grabbed Long by the collar and pulled him up on the apron but Killings came from behind with a knee to the back followed by a reverse DDT. He hooked the leg and got 1....2....., but Austin kicked out again. Killings then hit a nice gutwrench suplex before whipping Austin to the ropes and locking in a sleeper. But Austin countered almost immediately with a sit down jawbreaker and then locked in a version of the cobra clutch. Killings was going out but he worked his way around so Hebner was in front of him and then broke the hold with a mule kick followed by a it down facebuster. Killings hooked the leg but again, Austin kicked out at 2. Killings was seething as he whipped Austin to the ropes and rocked him with a clothesline. But then he tried to get fancy and he did the splits before a clothesline only to see Austin duck it and hit the Stunner virtually out of nowhere. Austin topped him quickly to get the 1....2.....3. Match Time: 9:46 Lawler: "No! Teddy, how did this happen"! J.R.: "Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold! The rattlesnake has ruined the party for Civil Rights"! Lawler: "Wait a minute, look out"! JUST THEN, D'LO BROWN ENTERED THE RING AND TOOK A SWING BUT AUSTIN BLOCKED IT AND FIRED BACK WITH A SLEW OF RIGHT HANDS BEFORE HITTING THE STUNNER ON HIM. TEDDY LONG JUMPED ON AUSTIN's BACK, TRYING TO CHOKE HIM OUT BUT AUSTIN FLUNG HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND THEN BLASTED HIM WITH THE STUNNER AS WELL. HIS MUSIC HIT AND THE CROWD WAS JUMPING IN THE AISLES. J.R.: "Oh hell yeah! There is only one Texas rattlesnake and King, I could sit here and watch this all night"! Lawler: "I think these fans could too"! AUSTIN GOT ON THE TURNBUCKLE AND CALLED FOR SOME BEERS. HE WAS THROWN 2 AND HE CRACKED THEM OPEN AND POURED THEM DOWN. J.R.: "I gotta say this! If this is the last time we see Austin in the ring, god bless him! Long live the toughest SOB of all time"! BACKSTAGE..... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS IN HIS OFFICE WHEN GUIDO MARITATO ENTERS. Guido Maritato: "You wanted to see me"? Shane McMahon: "Yeah Guido, as a matter of fact I did. I just wanted to know if Frankie Kazarian is gonna be in there tonight or if you plan on going two on three". Maritato: "Even though Frankie went through something he should've never had to and Rockwell wasn't disciplined, the FBI is tougher than you think and you're damn right he'll be in there tonight". GUIDO LEAVES THE OFFICE. JORDAN ROCKWELL's DRESSING ROOM.... JORDAN ROCKWELL IS ON THE PHONE. Jordan Rockwell: "You felt it kick? Are you sure? RHYNO COMES IN. Yeah, I know, I will and trust me, I will make Kazarian pay. I have more in store for him. Okay, I gotta go get ready. Love you two, bye". ROCKWELL HANGS UP HIS PHONE. Rhyno: "Ready"? Rockwell: "Let's go do this". ROCKWELL KNOCKS FISTS WITH RHYNO. A LADDER IS SHOWN IN THE AISLE BEFORE THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON THE BRAND NEW KING OF CABLE TITLE BELT HANGING ABOVE THE RING. J.R.: "There you see the prize in our upcoming ladder match and King, I can't wait for this one". "THUGANOMICS" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT SPORTING A THROWBACK WASHINGTON BULLETS JERSEY WITH A HAT BACKWARDS. Lawler: "Come on J.R., do the double horns"! Lawler: "I'm not gonna do the double horns". Lawler: "RAW is one of the highest rated shows on cable and with this guy as the King of Cable, the ratings are only gonna go higher"! "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC HITS AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OUT TO A BIG POP WITH TERRI AS A BALL OF FLAME RISES ON THE RAMP. J.R.: "That's debateable King because I think this man here would bring them up even further"! Lawler: "Terri's makin' something come up, I'll tell ya that"! J.R.: "Austin Pyromania was the last Toughman champion but Stephanie McMahon decided she wanted to spice RAW up with the King of Cable title and this title will be defended every other week on RAW"! Lawler: "John Cena earned this oppurtunity and I look for him to come out on top here"! J.R.: "Austin Pyromania is 1-0 in ladder matches in his career and this is the first of it's kind for Cena".
TWF King of Cable Title Ladder match John Cena vs. Austin Pyromania w/ Terri The bell sounded and the two men circled one another. They locked up in a collar and elbow tie and Pyromania got a reverse armbar on Cena. Cena tried to punch his way out of it and then whipped Pyromania to the ropes. Pyromania ducked a back elbow and came back with a cross body block. He then hit a float over russian leg sweep before bouncing off the ropes again. But Cena avoided a running heel kick and delivered a backdrop suplex. Cena then mounted Pyromania and drove in a series of right hands to the forehead. Cena then went and removed one of the turnbuckle pads. He then picked Pyromania up and tried to ram him face first into the exposed bolt but Pyromania put his foot up to block it. He then elbowed Cena in the gut and rammed him into it. Pyromania then hit the ropes and came off with a flying forearm right on the money. A camera shot revealed Cena had been busted open and Pyromania went to the top rope, coming off with a flying clothesline. He then went out and grabbed the ladder and slid it into the ring. Pyromania set it up and began climbing but Cena got up and pushed the ladder into the ring ropes. Pyromania went flying to the floor outside the ring. Cena followed him out and picked him up, ramming him into the steel steps. Cena then pulled Pyromania up and hoisted him onto his shoulder before ramming him face first into the steel post. Pyromania was in a lot of pain and Cena slowly made his way into the ring and set up the ladder. He began to climb it and was reaching for the belt when Pyromania came off the top rope with a missile dropkick on the ladder, knocking Cena to the mat. The ladder struck Pyromania in the head when it fell and he to was opened up. Cena was the first to his feet and he pulled Pyromania up and dropped him with a powerbomb. Cena set the ladder up and began climbing but Pyromania got up and put Cena onto his shoulders. He pulled him away from the ladder and hit a devastating electric chair drop. Pyromania then waited for Cena to get up and when he did, he dropped him with the "Pyrotechnics". Pyromania began to climb the ladder and was on his way to the win when out of nowhere came A-Train. A-Train threw Pyromania to the mat and dropped him with an avalanche in the corner. Terri bravely got into the ring and jumped on A-Train's back but she was thrown over his shoulder. A-Train then set up to deliver his bicycle kick to Pyromania but he ducked and the kick struck Terri! Pyromania then bounced off the ropes but A-Train caught him in mid air and whipped him up onto his shoulder before delivering the "Train Wreck". Meanwhile, Cena had ascended the ladder and he pulled the title down as "Thuganomics" hit. Match Time: 10:33 J.R.: "This was a damn set up King! Pyromania has been jobbed"! Lawler: "This was a brilliant plan J.R.! Cena has become the King of Cable"! A-TRAIN AND CENA WALKED OFF WITH THE TITLE TO A LOT OF BOOING AS PYROMANIA CHECKED ON TERRI IN THE RING. J.R.: "Cena has used that damn A-Train to help him again and poor Terri. Somebody get out here and help her! This is a travesty King"! BACKSTAGE.... "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN IS SITTING DOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, WINDING DOWN AFTER HIS MATCH. HE WIPES HIS FACE WHEN HE HEARS A VOICE. Voice: "Nice match". AUSTIN PULLS THE TOWEL AWAY FROM HIS FACE AND TURNS HIS HEAD TO SEE JORDAN ROCKWELL IN THE DOORWAY. Rockwell: "If that was your last match, I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on one hell of a run man". ROCKWELL SHAKES AUSTIN's HAND. Stone Cold: "I appreciate that". Rockwell: "Now I want you to hear me out because I've had an idea I wanted to run by you". AUSTIN REACHES INTO A NEAR BY COOLER AND PULLS OUT 2 BEERS, HANDING ONE TO ROCKWELL. Stone Cold: "Let's hear it". OTHER SIDE OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA> STEPHANIE McMAHON IS SHOWN WITH ASHANTI. Stephanie McMahon: "I am so, so sorry for what happened out there. Please let me know if there's anything we can do to make up for it". Ashanti: "Well.... there is one thing". BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE FBI's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. FRANKIE KAZARIAN HAS A BAND-AID ON HIS FOREHEAD. Cole: "What do you think Rockwell and Austin are talkin' about"? Ventura: "I don't know, but he better make it quick, here comes the FBI! Now look at Kazarian Cole, he's in no condition to be out here thanks to Jordan Rockwell but he doesn't wanna let his boys down"! THE ULTIMO DRAGON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP AS FLAMES COME OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF THE ENTRYWAY. Cole: "After he touched Lita's pregnant stomach, he's lucky to even have a career as far as I'm concerned but here is a man who has truly had the FBI's number! The Ultimo Dragon has given them fits for weeks"! "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH RHYNO TO A HUGE POP. Ventura: "But strength in numbers caught up to him just as it will tonight! I would not be at all surprised Cole if all three members of the FBI were left standing in the end"! Cole: "This will be an elimination six man tag and there are some serious issues to be resolved in this one as it was the FBI who were given a hit by Brock Lesnar and Batista to take out Rockwell and Rhyno and Jesse, it's obvious Lesnar and Batista saw Rockwell and Rhyno as a threat to them ruling PrimeTime"! Ventura: "No matter what the case, the FBI took the job and tonight, they might take these three out of the picture permanently"!
6 Man Tag Team Elimination The FBI vs. Jordan Rockwell, Rhyno and The Ultimo Dragon Right as the bell rang, Rockwell found Kazarian and the fight was on. After tackling him, Rockwell hit him with clubbing shots with both arms. Guido Maritato came in with a dropkick to stop Rockwell but Rhyno hit him with the "Gore", sending him out of the ring to the floor. Referee Mike Chioda tried his best to sort through the mess and finally got things calmed down. Rhyno and Johnny Stamboli were in the ring trading shots but it was Stamboli who got a knee up into the gut. After a big clothesline, Stamboli tagged in Kazarian who came in with a slingshot legdrop on Rhyno. He made the cover but Rhyno kicked out at 2. Kazarian then got up and took a sudden turn towards Rockwell, knocking him to the floor with a cheap shot. Kazarian then caught Rhyno with a spinwheel kick but again, the manbeast kicked out at 2. Kazarian then whipped Rhyno to the ropes but a blind tag was made to the Ultimo Dragon. Rhyno ducked a clothesline and the dragon came off the top rope with a cross body block. Rockwell then came into the ring and knocked both Stamboli and Maritato off the apron and then hit Kazarian with "Extreme Measures". Ultimo Dragon made the cover and got the 3 to eliminate the man called the Future. Maritato came right into the ring and got on the dragon with a series of right hands before catching him with a sit out spinebuster off an irish whip. He then shot him to the corner and charged in but Ultimo got 2 feet to his face and then hit a spinning heel kick followed by a standing moonsault. He went for the cover but Stamboli came in to break up the pin. The Dragon then tagged in Rockwell who stayed on Maritato with a shin breaker followed by a powerslam off an irish whip. Again, Stamboli came in to make the save and Rockwell pointed at Stamboli, telling him to get in. Stamboli tagged in and after a stare down, he hit the ropes and ran into Rockwell but neither man budged. Rockwell hit the ropes and Stamboli threw a clothesline which Rockwell ducked and he then came off the ropes with a flying clothesline. Rockwell then kicked him in the gut and hit a nice ddt. He covered him but Stamboli kicked out at 2. Rockwell then made the tag to the Dragon and clotheslined Maritato out of the ring when he tried to get involved. The Dragon then hit an absolutely amazing tumbling asai moonsault onto Guido. Stamboli got up and pushed Rockwell into Rhyno and then caught him with a double underhook suplex. The Dragon had mounted the turnbuckle and when the bull turned around, he took flight. But Stamboli caught him in mid air and flung him onto his shoulders, hitting the "Forget about it" and hooked the leg to put Ultimo out. Rhyno came into the ring off a tag and dropped Stamboli with a spinebuster. He then sized him up for the "Gore" but Stamboli moved out of the way and the manbeast went sprawling into the corner. Stamboli tagged out and Guido came in, looking for the Sicilian Slice. But Rhyno avoided it and then bounced off the ropes, almost breaking him in half with the "Gore". He hooked the leg to put him out. Stamboli came into the ring, down to a 2 on 1 disadvantage. But the bull slugged it out with Rhyno before an irish whip to the corner but Rhyno reversed it and charged in. Stamboli knocked him to the mat with a boot to the mouth and then stacked him up. But as Chioda began his count, Rhyno stuck his feet on the ring ropes for extra leverage, helping him get the pin. Rockwell argued with Chioda that he had his feet on the ropes and Stamboli took a cheap shot from behind. He then shot him to the corner and caught him with a big powerslam as he came out. After a delay suplex, Stamboli thought he had him but only got a 2 count. The crowd really got behind Rockwell and Rockwell responded by countering a suplex into a quick rollup but Stamboli kicked out. Rockwell then ducked an ensuing clothesline and hit a falling neckbreaker. After shooting him to the corner, Rockwell lifted him up with a backbody drop and then set up for "Extreme Measures". But the bull saw it coming and blocked it. Stamboli then went into a waist lock but Rockwell caught him with a back elbow. Stamboli hung onto the hold and went for a backdrop suplex but Rockwell flipped off his shoulders right into a chop block. In the center of the ring, Rockwell then locked in the Tranquilizer and Stamboli had to tap out. Match Time: 12:42 Cole: "And Rockwell has done it! He has tranquilized the bull and become the sole survivor"! Ventura: "I can't believe it Cole. I really thought the FBI had this". AS "ROCK HARD" PLAYED, ROCKWELL GOT ON THE TURNBUCKLE AND RAISED AN ARM TO THE CHEERING CROWD. Cole: "This was personal tonight for Rockwell and he has recorded a memorable performance at MeltDown"! BACKSTAGE.... DRESSING ROOM.... THE CAMERA FINDS CHRIS BENOIT AND DYLAN JANSENS GETTING READY FOR THEIR MATCH. JANSENS IS LOOKING DOWN AT HIS TAG TEAM TITLE. Dylan Jansens: "We just won these things Chris. We proved that we are the best team in the world, I just don't like the odds tonight". Chris Benoit: "You saw Rey and Carney go out there and show their stuff earlier tonight. Now it's time for us to do the same. These titles aren't going anywhere. We will show those other four two of the four elements of this business. Elements for which they have no solution to". A VIDEO PACKAGE IS SHOWN OF ALL THE PROMOS LEADING UP TO THE DEBUT OF CHRISTOPHER DANIELS FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF WHEN HE COST TRAVIS WAKEMAN THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. Cole: "Long considered one of the most unrecogized wrestlers in the world, Christopher Daniels is at TWF MeltDown with a huge oppurtunity"! Ventura: "This man is one of the best you'll ever see Cole and he never gets the respect he deserves! If he knocks off Wakeman, they'll have to respect him"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN IGNITES AN EXPLOSION OF PYRO AS TRISH STRATUS LEADS TRAVIS WAKEMAN OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "It was during the TWF's international tour last year when these two met in the second round of the golden singapore cane tournament but you talk about motivation, not only did Daniels cost Wakeman the Intercontinental title, but what about what he told Trish last week on PrimeTime"?! Ventura: "I got to thinkin' about it Cole, Daniels has a point. Daniels is here to help all the superstars on PrimeTime who do not get the recognition they have earned and I think Trish has a lot more potential then she's been able to show as Wakeman's valet"! Cole: "But who is Daniels to judge? I could see it if they went to them for help. He thinks he was put here as some sort of righter of wrongdoings". Ventura: "They call him the Fallen Angel and that is because of his god given talent inside that ring Cole, watch this"! Cole: "Well they call Wakeman the Technical Magician and I look forward to what we're about to witness"!
"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. Travis Wakeman w/ Trish Stratus This was a wrestling gem as Wakeman and Daniels put on an absolute show. The match started out with a lock up and Wakeman went into a hammerlock. But Daniels escaped with a nice snap mare before catching him with a perfect dropkick. Daniels followed up with 2 right hands before whipping him to the corner but Wakeman sidestepped him when he followed in and locked in a sleeper hold. Feeling himself getting weaker, Daniels created a nice counter but dropping to one knee and using his momentum to send Wakeman into the turnbuckle. Daniels then vaulted on the turnbuckle and took Wakeman down with a headscissor. Immediately, Daniels went into a side leglock and then took it into a half crab. Wakeman was able to escape the hold and as Daniels charged it, he took him to the mat with a hard armbar that became a fujiwara armbar on the mat. Daniels grabbed the nearby bottom rope to break the hold. Wakeman pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but missed with a clothesline and Daniels dropkicked him in the back of the knee. He then locked in a standing surfboard which had Wakeman in a lot of pain. Wakeman refused to give up though, even after being in the hold for almost a minute. Daniels relinquished the hold and went into a side headlock. But Wakeman rolled over and actually had a pin, nearly getting a 3 count. Daniels went back into the side headlock but Wakeman stood up and lifted Daniels up, dropping him with a backdrop suplex. But the pugnacious Daniels did not let go of the hold. Wakeman stood up again and this time, backed him into the ropes looking to whip him in but Daniels rode him to the mat, the headlock still on. Wakeman was going out and referee Mike Sparks came over to check his arms. It dropped twice but Wakeman kept it up on the third attempt, pumping life into the crowd. Wakeman then delivered 3 quick shots to the ribs and Daniels let go of the hold. But Daniels avoided a clothesline and caught Wakeman with a superkick. He went for the cover and got 1.......2....., but Wakeman was up in time. Daniels had Wakeman reeling though and he delivered a vertical suplex befor going to the top rope for the move of the night. When Wakeman stood up, Daniels came off with a shooting star press right into a cover to get 1.......2......, but no, Wakeman got a shoulder up. Daniels whipped him to the ropes and dropped down to the mat and Wakeman jumped oer him. As he came off the other side, Daniels went for a leapfrog but Wakeman pulled him out of the air with a powerslam. Wakeman then whipped him to the ropes and kicked him in the stomach before hitting a reverse spinning neckbreaker. Wakeman then locked in the triangle hold and Daniels was in a lot of trouble. But somehow, he escaped the hold by coming up with a tremendous counter. Wakeman ducked a spinning heel kick and Daniels quickly went for a superkick with his other foot. But Wakeman caught it and spun him around before hitting a reverse atomic drop. That went right into the Sharpshooter but Daniels scurried to the ropes before Wakeman could sit on it. Wakeman then pulled him up and whipped him in again but missed with a clothesline and Daniels caught him with a tremendous flying back elbow. Daniels then noticed the turnbuckle that John Cena removed earlier was loose and he pulled the pad off as well. He then picked Wakeman up and shot him to that corner. Wakeman hit the bolt hard but when Daniels came flying in, he moved and Daniels hit the steel bolt face first. Wakeman then lifted him onto his shoulder and delivered the "Royal Flush", hooking the leg to get the 1.....2.......3. Match Time: 15:24 "MAKE WAY" PLAYED AND TRISH CAME INTO THE RING, GIVING WAKEMAN A CELEBRATORY HUG. WAKEMAN THEN LOOKED DOWN AT DANIELS, A FIERCE LOOK IN HIS EYES.

Don't even try that crap with me homes! DONALD DUCK LIFTS THE CAMERA UP. Oh, you want to take a picture with us? Why, so you can go sell it on ebay?! I'll give you a picture vato"! JUST THEN, EDDIE ATTACKS THE MAN, BEATING THE HECK OUT OF HIM AND RIPPING THE HEAD OF THE COSTUME OFF. AFTER THROWING THE HEAD ACROSS THE HALLWAY, HE STOMPS ON THE MAN's HEAD AS CENA AND A-TRAIN STAND AND WATCH. A-Train: "Calm down Eddie.... damn". Eddie: "I am calmed down vato! I need a beer now".

Lawler: "Tonight he wants to prove that statement by beating the man himself and you're right J.R., this is big"! THE FANS ERUPT WHEN "SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT. PYRO GOES OFF AS HE GOES DOWN TO 2 KNEES ON THE RAMP AND SAYS A QUICK PRAYER. J.R.: "Coming from this man, a statement like that is like gold because King, there's only one Shawn Michaels! His talent has never been duplicated"! Lawler: "High Octane has some of those skills though J.R., you can see it any time he's in there"! J.R.: "If I were Damion West, the one Shawn Michaels trait I'd want is his big match presence. Nobody outperforms the Heartbreak Kid in a big match situation"!
"High Octane" Damion West vs. Shawn Michaels As anticipated, this one brought the house down. After a lockup, Michaels got position and backed Octane to the corner. Referee Charles Robinson asked for a break and got one. Michaels and Octane then slapped hands and circled each other. They locked up again and Octane scored with an arm drag. Michaels came back and was hip tossed to the mat. Octane then shot him to the corner and Michaels flipped up and over the turnbuckle to the floor. Concerned, Octane went out to check on Michaels. Michaels got up and drilled him with a knifedge chop. Octane retaliated with one of his own and a tradeoff of chops began. Michaels then generated some offense with some right hands before dropping West with an elbow to the head. Michaels slid in the ring and Octane climbed up onto the apron. Michaels went to suplex him into the ring but Octane went through it and over Michaels. He went to roll him up but Michaels held the top rope and then blasted him with the "Sweet Chin Music" when he got up. He covered him and hooked the leg but Octane kicked out at 2! Michaels stayed on him with some more right hands before whipping him to the corner and backdropping him. After a nice falling suplex, Michaels again topped him but West was up at 2. Michaels then whipped him to the ropes and went for a flying back elbow but Octane caught him with a dropkick, taking him out of the air. Octane then hit a swinging neckbreaker and went to the top rope. When Michaels got up, he soared off with a double sledge and found the mark. He hooked the inside leg but barely got a 2 count. Octane irish whipped him and missed with a swinging backhand and as Michaels came off the other side, both men were thinking clothesline and both men went down. Almost simultaneously, they both kipped up and Michaels took a swing but missed before being drilled with the "Head on Collision". Octane quickly pinned him and got 1.....2...., but Michaels kicked out as well! Octane whipped him to the corner but Michaels slung over him and rolled him up with a schoolboy to get 1.....2....., but Octane powered out. Michaels then hit a hip toss followed by a nice dropkick. After a scoop slam, Michaels went to the top rope, looking for his patented elbow drop. But Octane had it scouted and rolled out of the way. He then caught him with a heel kick that knocked him to the floor. As Michaels got to his feet, Octane came flying through the ropes and hit him with a suicide dive. Michaels' head struck the PrimeTime broadcast table and he seemed to be in a lot of pain. Octane rolled Michaels into the ring and climbed to the top rope. He came off with an amazing 450 splash known as the Octane Splash but failed to hook a leg and Michaels intelligently put it on the bottom rope to prevent a 3 count. After a kick to the gut, Octane stuck Michaels with a hard piledriver before again going to the top rope. But when he came off, Michaels, knowh throughout his career for his resiliency, drilled West with the "Sweet Chin Music" and fell into a cover to get the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 13:46 J.R.: "An unfortunate ending for High Octane but he's got nothing to be ashamed of King"! Lawler: "Michaels has still got that big match ability J.R.! I thought High Octane had him"! "SEXY BOY" WAS PLAYING AS OCTANE CHECKED HIS MOUTH AND NOSE AREA FOR BLOOD BUT MICHAELS CAME OVER AND HELPED HIM TO HIS FEET AND RAISED HIS ARM. J.R.: "That's what it's about right there! The student couldn't beat the teacher tonight but in many people's minds, High Octane is still well on his way to superstardom"! BACKSTAGE..... NEMESIS IS SITTING ON A BENCH, WATCHING THE UNDERTAKER WARM UP ON A PUNCHING BAG. Undertaker: (stops hitting the bag) "It's time. Watch and learn son". UNDERTAKER LEAVES THE ROOM AND NEMESIS REACHES UNDER THE BENCH, PULLING OUT A BASEBALL BAT. Cole: "Before we get to the World heavyweight title match, we've got the first ever title versus title versus titles match Jesse". Ventura: "This one is gonna have it all Cole! The Intercontinental, Tag Team and Universal titles all rolled into one match"! "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND CHRIS TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW COME OUT. Cole: "And here come the former tag team champs and these two could restart what was an amazing run as champs"! Ventura: "The interesting thing in this match is the fact that Dylan Jansens and Chris Benoit have to win to keep their titles". "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT TRACK HITS AND THE FAMILIAR BLACK DRAGON APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND BREATHES FLAMES. WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS, "WHATEVER" BY OUR LADY PEACE HITS AND CHRIS BENOIT COMES OUT.

A CORD STRIKES AND BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH BATISTA AND SABLE AND THE TRIO IS WILDLY BOOED. Ventura: "These two will certainly have something to say about that"! Cole: "The path of destruction for Lesnar and Batista has been one that has no stop to it, no let up at all! Tirpak, Bradshaw, Jansens and Benoit actually need to join forces to prevent these two monsters from gaining any more power"! Ventura: "They're gonna have to if they expect to have any chance of stopping them Michael Cole"! Cole: "The rules here are simple. Two men will start the match and you can tag in to anyone at any time. The first man to gain a decision will win the match for his team. Now let's say Dylan Jansens pins Batista. Then not only do Dylan Jansens and Benoit retain the tag team titles, but Jansens would also be the new IC champ"! Ventura: "But let's say Batista pins Tirpak. Then he and Lesnar are the new tag team champions"!
Title vs. Title vs. Titles Chris Tirpak and Bradshaw vs. Tag Team Champs Chris Benoit and Dylan Jansens vs. IC Champ Batista and Universal Champ Brock Lesnar w/ Sable Chris Benoit and Batista started this match and Benoit frustrated the big man with his elusiveness and stung him with several kicks to the abdomen. After avoiding a clubbing right hand, Benoit reddened his chest with his blistering knifedge chops. Benoit then tagged in his own partner Jansens who picked up where he left off, trying to cut Batista down to size. But after bouncing off the ropes, he was nearly beheaded by a ferocious clothesline and Batista then tagged in Lesnar. Lesnar pounded Jansens across the back before shooting him to the ropes and lifting him up with a gorilla press. He slammed him to the mat but when he went back, Tirpak tagged himself in. Tirpak pulled Jansens up and lifted him to his shoulders, looking for the snake eyes. But Jansens escaped off his shoulder and dropkicked him in the back. He then turned and nailed Lesnar with a cheap shot before bouncing off the ropes and catching Tirpak with a flying forearm. He topped him for the first cover of the match but Tirpak easily kicked out at 1. Jansens got him up but Tirpak got in a big kneelift before tagging in Bradshaw. Bradshaw pounded Jansens with his combination of hammers and chops. He then sent him to the ropes and delivered a big boot to the face. He made the cover but Benoit was in to break it up. Bradshaw stood up but Batista tagged himself in. He and Bradshaw stared each other down allowing Jansens to come from behind with a rollup on Batista but Bradshaw made the save. Jansens got up and shoved Bradshaw as Batista got to his feet. He came with a clothesline from behind but Jansens moved and he collided with Bradshaw. Jansens then tagged in Benoit who hit 2 german suplexes on Batista before Lesnar came in and hammered Benoit in the back of the head. Batista then tagged in Lesnar who shoved Benoit into the corner and delivered consecutive shoulders into the gut. He then whipped him to the ropes and went for a clothesline but Benoit ducked and dropkicked him in the right knee. Lesnar threw a wild clothesline with his left arm but Benoit grabbed it and took him to the mat, locking in the Crossface. Lesnar was in a lot of trouble but Batista came in to break it up. Bradshaw tapped the foot of Benoit to bring himself into the match but Batista met him in the center of the ring and the two traded shots. By now, all 6 men were in the ring and Benoit took Tirpak out with a clothesline that sent both men over the top rope and to the floor. Lesnar came over and hit Bradshaw with a right hand as Jansens bounced off the ropes but was deposited with a Batista spinebuster slam. Bradshaw kicked Lesnar right in the mouth and bounced off the ropes, swinging with the "Clothesline from Hell" but Lesnar ducked and lifted him up onto his shoulders and put him down with the "F5". Lesnar then hooked the leg and got the 1.....2......3 as Sable went and grabbed all 4 of the belts and handed them to Lesnar and Batista. Match Time: 19:34 Cole: "I hate what I am seeing! This is horrible for PrimeTime"! Ventura: "Speak for yourself Cole! Lesnar and Batista have all the gold"! Cole: "I'm sickened, I don't know what to say". BACKSTAGE.....

TWF World Heavyweight Title Match Challenger..... The Undertaker vs. Strife As the bell sounded, the two extended clinched fists and touched them before locking up. Undertaker fired a right hand but it was blocked and Strife rocked him with a flurry of his own. The two men many consider to be the two toughest in the TWF put on more of a heavyweight boxing match that wrestling but the fans were enthralled. After knocking Undertaker into the ropes, Strife bounced off the far side but Undertaker exploded through him with a clothesline. He then came back with a barrage of body shots and soup bone right hands before whipping him to the corner and charging in with a clothesline. He then whipped him to the opposite corner and did the same. Taker was rollin' until Strife drilled him with a boot to the face that got him a 2 count. Strife then dropped him on the top rope with the snake eyes followed by a hard backbreaker. Strife then hit the ropes and dropped a huge leg across Taker's throat. He made the cover but only got a 2 count. Strife pulled him up and measured him for some more right hands but The Undertaker refused to go down, blocking one and coming back with some of his own before catching the champion with a reverse elbow to the side of the head. Off an irish whip, Undertaker hit a flying clothesline and set up for a chokeslam but Strife blocked it and hit Undertaker with a fallaway slam. He then set Undertaker on the top turnbuckle, looking for the "Derailer" but Undertaker punched his way out of it and held onto Strife's arm before catching a big pop for hitting the Old School. Undertaker was feeling it but when he bounced off the ropes and went for a big boot, he nailed referee Earl Hebner when Strife ducked. Strife then powered Undertaker to the mat with a full nelson slam but to everyone's shock, Nemesis entered the ring with a baseball bat and cracked Strife over the skull with it when he turned around! Undertaker got up and hit the "Last Ride" as Hebner recovered to make the 3 count and a new champion was crowned. Match Time: 11:04 "YOU'RE GONNA PAY" HIT AND HEBNER HANDED UNDERTAKER THE TITLE AND RAISED HIS ARM BUT TAKER LOOKED STUNNED TO SEE NEMESIS AT RINGSIDE. J.R.: "What the hell?! What the hell was that"?! Lawler: "Look at Taker, like he didn't know". J.R.: "I can't believe Strife's reign has ended this way! The Undertaker has become a six time world champion but I hate how he did it"! THE SHOT FADES OUT AND THE TWF LOGO FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN.
