THE SHOT OPENS INSIDE THE ARENA WHERE TODD GRISHAM AND IDALIS ARE POSTED IN ONE OF THE ARENA SKYBOXES. CAMERAS INSIDE SHOW FANS STARTING TO FILE INTO THE ARENA.

Todd Grisham: "Hello everybody and welcome to Uprising. We are just under a half hour away from the Summer sizzler MeltDown as the TWF will be bringing you nine blockbuster matches tonight from Pittsburgh and ya know Idalis, from top to bottom, this card looks tremendous".

Idalis: "There is no doubt that the PrimeTime side of things looks great Todd but I gotta admit, you guys on Rampage don't look so bad yourselves".

Grisham: "Glad you mentioned that part, (smiling at Idalis) and one of the huge matches that Rampage will offer tonight involves Kurt Angle, who has made an open challenge to basically any wrestler in the world".

Idalis: "Well we saw him pretty much teach a lesson to the son of the late Davey Boy Smith on the last Rampage but think about it Todd, it could be anybody tonight".

Grisham: "Angle is that confident though and honestly, I don't think he cares who it is".

In addition to that......

PROMO GRAPHICS FEATURING THE FIERY MELTDOWN BACKGROUND ARE SHOWN.

the Rampage tag team titles will be on the line when Jamal and Rosey try to regain them from Matt Cruz and Karam Ibrahim. Can Cruz keep some sort of personal issue from destroying the huge win he and Ibrahim pulled off at Anarchy Rulz"?

Idalis: "And speaking of tag team titles, PrimeTime will crown new champs tonight when Animal and Heidenreich take on The Brood, the final match of an eight team tournament".

Grisham: "How about the Horsemen versus the team of Rey Mysterio, High Octane and Carney? Money Mike claims this will be a four on two match but where does Carney really stand in the whole thing? And not only that, but we will also see a grudge match that has been building for four years. This one is so serious Idalis, that the TWF refused to sanction it. Travis Wakeman meets his brother D.W. Jones. Can Jones repeat the upset he pulled four years ago at Welcome to our Yard"?

Idalis: "I honestly can't wait for that match but also on the PrimeTime side, Axl Irvin will try and take the Intercontinental title from the long standing champion Sean O'Haire and one of the big stories in this match is the cornermen. Orlando Jordan for O'Haire and Ric Flair for Irvin. Plus, Muhammad Hassan will continue his fight to prove that America is not the land of oppurtunity when he squares off against Rome in a match that has become very personal".

Grisham: "Very personal indeed but now let's talk about the two main events. On the Rampage side, we saw it at WrestleMania six and tonight, we see it again. John Cena, this time the World champ, defends the title against Drew Blood who has his doctor, the one Stephanie McMahon calls the imposter doctor, in his corner".

Idalis: "That will go down as a huge match Todd and one has to wonder where John Cena's place in history will be if he can defeat Drew Blood twice. But on the PrimeTime side, we have the big one. Two tons of steel fans, chains that run a mile long and a match that involves nothing but pure brutality. Six men will enter the Elimination Chamber and the winner, or should we say the survivor, will become the Universal champion. We already know that the current champion Shane Thompson will enter the match last but will it be enough to secure the title"?

Grisham: "That's a very good question Idalis considering the five men he is up against but fans we are about fifteen minutes away from the huge event of the Summer! Contact your local cable provider now to make sure you are part of the huge extravaganza!

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP SHOWING CHRIS PLATOON ON ONE SIDE AND RENE DUPREE ON THE OTHER.

Idalis: "Well coming up next, Chris Platoon and Rene Dupree will get the action started and for those of you who didn't get enough pre-match analysis, go check out the Asylum page on TWF.com and listen to our own Mike Norton give his thoughts on MeltDown"!

A COMMERCIAL FOR ENERGIZER BATTERIES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FINAL, HARD SELL PROMO FOR MELTDOWN FEATURING THE TWO BIG TITLE MATCHES.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE......

AS UPRISING RETURNS, RENE DUPREE's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS COMING TO THE RING, WAVING THE FRENCH FLAG TO A LOT OF BOOS.

Michael Cole: "Fans we hope you are ready for MeltDown because this building is absolutely rockin' and the atmosphere is electric Jesse"!

Jesse Ventura: "Almost seventeen thousand people in here Michael, of course it is"!

"FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN HITS AND CHRIS PLATOON COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.

Cole: "Well if you haven't ordered the event yet you only have about ten minutes to do so as we get set for this matchup here between Rene Dupree and and Chris Platoon. Dupree already holds a couple of wins over Platoon thanks to some assistance from Dawn Marie and believe it or not, Platoon actually convinced Shane McMahon to bar her from ringside for this match"!

Ventura: "Which I think is totally unfair. She has a valid manager's license, she has the right to be out here"!

Cole: "There's a similar debate in the World title match Rampage will be having tonight but that is the owner's decison and guess what? His decision's final"!

Rene Dupree vs. Chris Platoon

Without Dawn Marie in his corner, Dupree looked lost and Platoon took advantage with a very one sided performance. After shooting Dupree into the air with a backbody drop, Platoon put him down with back to back clotheslines followed by a slingshot suplex. With Dupree reeling, he went to the middle rope, looking for an elbow drop but Dupree rolled out of the way. But Dupree couldn't capitalize on it as Platoon reversed an irish whip attempt right into a kick to the stomach to deliver the "Last Chance", hooking the near leg for the 3 count.

"FIREFLY" HIT AND THE CROWD LOUDLY POPPED AS PLATOON RAISED BOTH ARMS IN VICTORY.

Cole: "Imagine that?! No Dawn Marie equals a loss for Rene Dupree"!

Ventura: "He was thrown off his game from the start Michael! I don't like Shane's decision and I hope he heard me say that"!

Cole: "Well I can tell just by listening to you that you're gonna be fun to deal with tonight but fans we are just minutes away from TWF MeltDown right here from the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, we hope you enjoy the show"!

A LIT CANDLE IS SHOWN, SET IN A DARK ROOM.

Voiceover: "Tonight, several warriors will set out on a personal quest.

A SHOT OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN IS SHOWN.

A quest to validate their claims.

A SHOT OF KURT ANGLE POPS UP.

A quest to prove they are what they say they are.

BOTH DREW BLOOD AND JOHN CENA ARE SHOWN.

A quest to regain their power...... and their possessions.

THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER IS SHOWN.

A quest to prove they are indestructible".

THE CANDLE IS SHOWN AGAIN, ALMOST COMPLETELY MELTED, WAX DRIPPING OFF OF IT.

Who will be able to conquer their quest..... before time runs out"?

THE SHOT GOES COMPLETELY BLACK AND SECONDS LATER, "OUTTA CONTROL" BY 50 CENT HITS, BRINGING UP A VIDEO PACKAGE THAT BUILDS ALL 9 MATCHES ON TONIGHT's CARD.

AFTER A 2 AND A HALF MINUTE VIDEO, THE OUTSIDE OF THE MELLON ARENA IS SHOWN.

"And now, TWF Entertainment and Energizer batteries present.........

A COMPUTER GENERATED ENERGIZER BUNNY MOVES ACROSS THE SCREEN, POUNDING A DRUM THAT HAS THE MELTDOWN LOGO ON IT.

THE CAMERA OPENS UP IN THE RING WHERE LILIAN GARCIA STANDS IN A BEAUTIFUL SPARKLING YELLOW DRESS.

Howard Finkel: "Here to perform America the Beautiful, please welcome our very own, Lilian Garcia"!

LILIAN GETS A VERY WARM RECEPTION WHICH BRINGS A HUGE SMILE TO HER FACE AS THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET, HANDS OVER THEIR HEARTS.

ABOUT 15 SECONDS INTO THE SONG, THE ARABIC TUNE OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN INTERRUPTS AND HE COMES OUT WITH TIGER ALI SINGH AND A YOUNG MAN IN A SUIT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT.

Michael Cole: "Wait a minute, please tell me he's not gonna interrupt this"!

Jesse Ventura: "Ya know I've really had about enough of this guy! How dare he interrupt America the Beautiful"!

Cole: "This crowd in Pittsburgh is letting him have it but who's this other guy with them"?

Muhammad Hassan: "Tonight, I will show what I have been saying for months! That there is nothing that makes this country the land of oppurtunity!

THE CROWD PASSIONATELY BOOS.

Tonight, Rome is gonna learn he should've listened to me! Because after I defeat him tonight and leave him in this ring, embarrassed about who he is, he will never be anything in this business again! But for all you people out there who still don't believe what I say, I've brought proof"!

HASSAN HANDS THE MIC TO THE MAN HE BROUGHT OUT WITH HIM.

Man: "My name is Anwar. My family came to this country in 1987, when I was just eight years old. We fled our country because we thought America would provide what we needed to have the things we wanted. Boy, were we wrong. We were constantly harrassed for who we were and where we were from. But in the end, I got a scholarship to attend Colgate University, top Ivy league school right? Well after earning a degree in business over two years ago, I have yet to land the job I am deserving of and why? Because I'm not one of you! The prejudice that is in this country is just one of the things that proves it is not the land of oppurtunity and.......

JUST THEN, ROME's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER.

Cole: "Well after not only bashing America, but messing with Rome's family and personal life as well, it is time for Muhammad Hassan to face the music"!

Ventura: "And for the record, this guy Anwar may have a degree in business, but he's about as ignorant as anyone I've ever heard! What a jackass"!

Cole: "Both of these men are of middle eastern descent but both have very, very different beliefs but when it comes down to what they can do in the ring, I have to give the edge to Rome Jesse, based largely on his power".

Ventura: "Rome is possibly the strongest man in the TWF and I hope he uses it to break Hassan in half"!

Muhammad Hassan w/ Tiger Ali Singh vs. Rome

The bell sounded to start the matchup and Rome was ready to go but Hassan did all he could to avoid locking up with him. Twice he exited the ring to talk things over with Tiger Ali Singh and upon getting back in a second time, Hassan asked for a test of strength. When Rome went to interlock hands, Hassan threw a kick but Rome saw it coming, catching his foot and spinning him around before smashing him with a clothesline. Rome then whipped Hassan to the corner and knotted the head of Hassan with 7 straight punches. Tiger got on the apron and Rome began walking towards him before turning back and charging at Hassan with a shoulder. But Hassan moved and Rome posted that left shoulder. Hassan then used an armbar DDT before taking it into a fujiwara armbar. Rome was already in serious trouble but he fought the pain and at the risk of breaking his arm, somehow countered the armbar and got Hassan in a front facelock. From there, he picked him up in an awesome display of strength, still holding the facelock and turned it into a suplex. Rome went for a cover but Hassan was up at 2. Rome pulled him up and delivered a double underhook suplex before hitting the ropes for a big elbow drop. Again, Hassan was up at 2 but Rome was powering up, looking to finish him. But after ducking a clothesline off an irish whip, Hassan pulled Rome down backwards into both of his knees. After jumping up and sitting on Rome's lower back, Hassan locked in the Camel Clutch right in the center of the ring. Hassan had it cinched it good but Rome seemed to just be getting stronger. Hassan pulled back with all he had but with his eyes widening, Rome not only refused to give up when asked by referee Mike Enos, but he stood up with Hassan on his back and ran backwards, driving him into the corner. Rome then let out an adrenaline filled yell before throwing Hassan across the ring with a belly to belly suplex. Rome picked him up again and lifted him over his head by his legs but Hassan grabbed the top rope to block the move. Finally, Rome had to set him down and when he did, Tiger reached in and lowblowed Rome. Hassan then used a northern lights suplex to steal the win.

Match Time: 8:25

Cole: "This is exactly what we all didn't want to see! An undetected lowblow from Tiger Ali Singh has helped Muhammad Hassan defeat Rome here"!

Ventura: "The referee didn't see it and I seriously dread the things that are going to come out of Hassan's mouth now"!

HASSAN AND SINGH LEFT TO A HOARD OF BOOS AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED.

Cole: "Damnit"!

BACKSTAGE AREA....

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN WITH KURT ANGLE.

Todd Grisham: "Kurt, in just a few moments, we are going to find out who, if anyone, has accepted your open challenge tonight. Is there anyone you don't want it to be"?

ANGLE GIVES GRISHAM A WEIRD LOOK.

Kurt Angle: "Are you kidding me? You're talkin' to the guy who won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck. And did you see what I did to the British Bulldog's son last week? Not only that Todd, but I'm in my hometown tonight.

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AT THE COMMENT.

So, to answer your question, no, there is not a man alive I would be intimidated by tonight. I just feel sorry for whoever it is".

THE SHOT SWITCHES TO THE HORSEMEN DRESSING ROOM WHERE MONEY MIKE, JASON OLIVER, JOE COREY AND ALEXIS LAREE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE 6 MAN TAG.

Jason Oliver: "Ya know Mike, I didn't like what we saw from Carney the other night, going with Mysterio and High Octane".

Joe Corey: "He's right Mike, Carney just doesn't want to be a Horsemen, he wants to be a loser all his life".

Money Mike: "Trust me fellas, it's all part of the plan. Carney will come around".

COREY AND OLIVER JUST KIND OF SHAKE THEIR HEADS, DOUBTING HIS OPTIMISM.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY MORE CHEERS. HOWEVER, JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE CROWD JOINS IN ON THE "YOU SUCK" CHANT AFTER HIS PYRO POUNDS OFF.

Jim Ross: "We're ready to kick off the Rampage side of MeltDown and King, what better way to do so than with the hometown boy Kurt Angle"!

Jerry Lawler: "I don't think I've ever heard a reaction for Kurt like this! I think I feel sorry for his opponent tonight too"!

J.R.: "Speculation has run all day as to who it could be but the latest I heard King, to be honest with you, was that no one was going to accept this thing"!

After watching Kurt beat the heck out of Harry Smith this past week, I can't imagine anyone coming out here"!

Kurt Angle: "Are you all ready for this?!

THE CROWD CHEERS

Okay, then let's not waste any more time! Bring out the unlucky man who accepted my open challenge"!

30 SECONDS OR SO GO BY AND NO ONE COMES OUT.

Lawler: "I knew it J.R., nobody has taken the challenge"!

Angle: "Just as I suspected! I knew.......

JUST THEN, A VERY FAMILIAR ENTRANCE SONG HITS AND THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY WILD.

J.R.: "Oh my God, look who it is"!

THE MAN WHO HAS ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE IS BRET HART AND ANGLE LOOKS LIKE HE's SEEN A GHOST.

Lawler: "What the hell?! I thought this guy couldn't wrestle anymore"!

J.R.: "He sustained a serious head injury several years ago King, I thought the same thing but he's on his way to the ring"!

Angle: "Wait a minute, Bret. What do you think you're doing out here?! You're not supposed to be in a ring anymore, or are you too stupid to remember that"?

Bret Hart: "Kurt, I talked to my doctor just a couple days ago and he told me that no matter what happens, it won't kill me! And to get my out of a wrestling ring for the rest of my life, that's what will have to happen! I was born to do this and when you beat the hell out of Harry Smith the other night, you weren't just beating the hell out of the British Bulldog's son.... but my nephew as well! So now it's time to put all the talk to bed! It's time to make the fantasy match a reality! And it's time to see what the Olympic gold medalist can do against the Excellence of Execution"!

Open Challenge

Kurt Angle vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart

Bret went to put the mic outside the ring but Angle ran up from behind and grabbed him in a waistlock. But Bret came up with a quick, clever escape, using his hips to swing Angle around and once he had him up in the corner, Bret blasted his chest with three knifedge chops before whipping him to the corner. Angle moved out of the way of him charging in and came back with a german suplex. He went for another one but Bret tried to block it by grabbing his hands, attempting to seperate them. Angle pounded him in the upper back twice and tried for the german but Bret countered with a tuck under rollup to get a near fall. Bret grabbed him in a reverse chin lock but Angle got to his feet and tried for a backdrop suplex only to have Hart flip off his shoulders and connect with a russian leg sweep. From there, Bret went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a front elbow to the throat. He made the cover but Angle broke the count at 2 and a half by getting his right shoulder off the mat. Bret pulled him up for a snap suplex but Angle picked his leg and turned it into the ankle lock. But Bret had it well scoutedm turning to his side and kicking Angle right in the face to break it, although it took two kicks to do so. Bret then got up and fired at Angle with a series of right hands before whipping him to the ropes. He dropped his head too soon and Kurt kicked him in the chest. He then threw a clothesline but Bret ducked and kicked him in the back of the legs, sweeping him to the mat. Bret quickly grabbed both of Angle's legs but before he could lock in the Sharpshooter, Angle wiggled free and rolled out of the ring, throwing his hands up and walking away.

J.R.: "Wait a minute, what the hell is Angle doing"?

Lawler: "I think he's had enough J.R."!

Referee Chad Patton reached a 10 count and raised Bret Hart's arm in victory.

J.R.: "Angle's been counted out, the Hitman is the winner"!

Lawler: "And I hate to say it J.R., but Angle was getting outwrestled there"!

J.R.: "Oh look out"!

ANGLE RAN BACK TO THE RING, TRYING TO ATTACK HART FROM BEHIND. BUT BRET TURNED AND TOOK ANGLE DOWN BY BOTH LEGS, THIS TIME SETTING IN THE SHARPSHOOTER. ANGLE BEGAN WILDLY TAPPING OUT AND BRET RELINQUISHED THE HOLD AS HIS MUSIC HIT AND THE CROWD WENT CRAZY.

J.R.: "Bret Hart has returned to the ring in outstanding fashion! Can it be, can it be that this isn't a one time only thing"!

Lawler: "I don't know if I'd go that far J.R., but the fans are loving every minute of this"!

J.R.: "One of the true greats of all time, what a moment fans, what a moment".

BACKSTAGE......

THE BROOD HAS CONVERTED THEIR DRESSING ROOM INTO SOME SORT OF RITUALISTIC SETTING. GANGREL TAKES A DRINK OUT OF A GOBLET.

Gangrel: "Remember Johnny, remember when you were afraid of joining me, afraid of becoming the lost boy? Well look at us now, we have a chance to win the tag team titles tonight which would give us the power to share our beliefs with others, to make us grow. Here..... drink up".

GANGREL HANDS JOHNNY SWINGER THE GOBLET AND HE TAKES A BIG GULP OUT OF IT LEADING GANGREL INTO A WICKED LAUGH.

Gangrel: "It's time".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "AH WHAT A RUSH" IS HEARD AND ANIMAL COMES OUT WITH HEIDENREICH TO A HUGE CHEER. BOTH ARE IN FULL ROAD WARRIOR ATTIRE.

Cole: "Fans for the last few weeks on PrimeTime, a tag team tournament has been held featuring as wide an erray of teams that you will ever see. The reason why is to crown new tag team champions after the titles were vacated by Strife and Bahamut and I gotta say Jesse, I like this team"!

Ventura: "Well I liked the original version of the Road Warriors better but this is what we've got and they have been impressive together".

A RING OF FIRE RISES TO ABOUT 3 INCHES ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE BROOD's MUSIC HITS, BRINGING THEM OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE.

Cole: "Many fans probably remember Animal and Heidenreich teaming up a couple years ago before Animal took a leave of absence but now they have to face as mysterious team as we've ever seen around here and if you ask me, Johnny Swinger seems brainwashed partner".

Ventura: "The comments that Gangrel just made were almost cult-like".

Cole: "The Brood defeated the Orient Express to get here and the Road Warriors were able to get by La Familia. Whose gonna be the new tag team champions"!

Tag Team Title Tournament Finals

The New Road Warriors vs. The Brood

As Animal and Heidenreich tried to strategize to start the match, Gangrel attacked Animal from behind and the match was underway. After a reverse elbow off an irish whip, Gangrel had Animal in an early hole. He then hit two big elbow drops before tagging in Swinger who came in, putting the boots to Animal. After a big suplex, Swinger went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a legdrop but Animal moved out of the way. Animal then shot Swinger to the ropes and caught him with a flying shoulder block before tagging in the big Heidenreich. Heidenreich came in and hit Swinger with some open handed shots before whipping him to the ropes for a backbody drop. After a big kneelift, Heidenreich hit the ropes bugt Swinger muscled him up and fell backwards as Gangrel helped drop him throat first on the top rope with a hotshot. Gangrel then tagged back into the match and used both hands to choke Heidenreich. As the ex-NFL player gasped for air, Gangrel pulled him up for the Impaler DDT. But Heidenreich blocked it and flipped Gangrel over with a backbody drop. He then made the tag to Animal who hit Gangrel with back to back clotheslines before shooting him to the ropes for a big powerslam. He hooked the leg and got 1........2........, but Swinger was in to break it up. Animal went after Swinger but Gangrel came from behind and pulled him to the mat with a reverse DDT. Swinger tagged back into the match and as Gangrel held Animal, he caught him with a clothesline as Gangrel brought him down with a russian leg sweep. Swinger made the cover and got a very near fall but the crowd began to get behind Animal and he came alive, fighting back. Off an irish whip, he smashed Swinger with a boot to the face before collapsing to the mat. Tags were made on both sides and Heidenreich beat Gangrel to the punch, following up with three right hands. But Gangrel slowed him with a stomp to the right knee followed by a swinging neckbreaker. Heidenreich got to his feet but Gangrel rocked him with both his arms and feet before going to the top rope, coming off with a double axe handle. He connected with it and took Heidenreich down to one knee before hitting the ropes but Heidenreich caught him and dropped him with the scrapbuster slam out of nowhere, hooking the leg for the 1.......2........3.

Match Time: 9:20

Cole: "He got him! We've got brand new tag team champs"!

Ventura: "Heidenreich just turned out the lights with that move and the celebration has begun"!

"AH WHAT A RUSH" WAS HEARD AGAIN FOLLOWED BY THE LEGENDART THEME OF THE ROAD WARRIORS. AFTER BEING HANDLED THEIR BELTS, ANIMAL HELD IT UP AND POINTED UPWARDS, SAYING SOME WORDS.

Cole: "And you gotta believe that's a tribute to his late partner Hawk. What a good feeling this has drawn fans and what a great tag team, going through this tournament and winning the titles"!

BACKSTAGE.......

MATT CRUZ AND KARAM IBRAHIM ARE SHOWN WHEN CARLITO COMES UP.

Carlito: "So, you two ready for your match tonight? Tell me Matt, have you put behind your personal problems long enough to keep those belts? Let me tell you something, I found out a little bit about you Mr. Cruz and I must say.... it's definitely not cool".

CRUZ BEGINS TO MOVE TOWARD CARLITO BUT IBRAHIM PULLS HIM IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

"3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS, BRINGING OUT CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL AND HER TEAM, JAMAL AND ROSEY TO MOSTLY BOOS.

J.R.: "It was at Anarchy Rulz last month when Jamal and Rosey, who had held the Rampage tag team titles for nearly a full year, dropped the titles in an amazing table match and tonight King, we've got the rematch"!

Lawler: "This is one of the longest awaited rematches in recent memory J.R., everyone wants to see if Cruz and Ibrahim can do it again"!

"THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE KICKS UP AND CRUZ AND IBRAHIM COME OUT TO A BIG POP WITH THE BELTS AROUND THEIR WAIST.

J.R.: "These two young superstars painted the city of Denver with their win at Anarchy Rulz, celebrating into the wee hours but the challengers are focused tonight King and you've got the story of Matt Cruz having his mind on other things of late".

Lawler: "No one seems to know much about Cruz's personal problems, not even his own partner but I can assure you that if they don't wrestle a mistake free match, those belts are going right back where they came from"!

Rampage Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Matt Cruz and Karam Ibrahim vs. Jamal and Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael

Last time these two teams met, there were no rules. This time, Cruz and Ibrahim reverted to their amatuer backgrounds, something the challengers weren't ready for and couldn't begin to combat. Cruz started off by riding Jamal to the mat after a takedown and immobolizing him by wrenching the left leg. Cruz snapped the leg back and tagged in Ibrahim who combined with Cruz to lock in a very innovative double STF. The only thing that stopped the match from being over in under two minutes was Rosey coming in to make the save. Referee Jose Mendez was able to get Rosey out of the ring as Ibrahim stuck to the gameplan against Jamal, taking the 400 pounder to the mat and showing off many reasons why he won the gold medal at the 2004 Olympics. But Jamal was able to get out of a hammerlock and shoot Ibrahim to the ropes. But Ibrahim exploded off with a flying forearm before making the tag to Cruz. Cruz came in and delivered a german suplex before going into a crossface chickenwing. Jamal was in trouble of submitting again but for a second time, Rosey came and stomped on the head of Cruz to break the hold. But Cruz got up and gave Rosey a shot to the back as he tried to get back to his corner. But Jamal got up and crushed Cruz with a clothesline before making the tag to Rosey. Rosey came in and pushed Cruz to the corner before slapping his chest with a few overhands. Rosey then shot him to the far side and ran in with an avalanche. Jamal tagged back in and they shot Cruz to the ropes, using a double flapjack to cause more damage. Cruz was in a lot of trouble until he ducked a clothesline off an irish whip and made a blind tag to Ibrahim. Cruz then rocked Jamal back with a clothesline before Ibrahim came over to help him with a double suplex. Ibrahim made the cover but only got a 2 count. He pulled Jamal to his feet and whipped him to the corner but Jamal put a foot in his face as he ran in, the impact so hard he looked out cold as Rosey tagged in. Jamal and Rosey then worked together very well, not allowing Ibrahim anywhere near his corner. But when Jamal with for a legdrop after hitting the ropes, Ibrahim moved out of the way. He then began inching his way over to his corner when Crystal came around to the champions' corner and grabbed the leg of Cruz. Cruz shook her off and then grabbed her by the hair, almost looking like he would strike her. A concerned Mendez asked Cruz to let her go while in the ring, Rosey lifted Ibrahim up for a powerbomb but instead flipped him over into a unique falling slam. Jamal then came off the top rope with the Air Samoa Splash, squashing Ibrahim to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 11:06

J.R.: "Oh what impact! Just like that, Jamal and Rosey have won the titles back"!

Lawler: "And where was Matt Cruz?! What is wrong with that guy"?!

CRYSTAL HURRIED OVER AND GRABBED THE BELTS, LEAVING WITH THEM AND THE VICTORIOUS JAMAL AND ROSEY AS "3 MINUTES" AGAIN PLAYED.

J.R.: "A mental mistake by Cruz left his partner to be chewed up and spit out and they can't be happy about this"!

AXL IRVIN IS SHOWN WITH RIC FLAIR BACKSTAGE, TAPING HIS WRISTS.

Ric Flair: "You almost ready kid"?

Axl Irvin: "Yeah and Ric, I know I've already said it, but I want you to know how much it means to have you in my corner tonight".

Flair: "Hey, after what O'Haire did to my family and I with his trick, I wouldn't miss it. Good luck out there tonight".

FLAIR SHAKES AXL's HAND BEFORE THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE CHRISTIAN IS SHOWN AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES UP, CHRISTIAN IMMEDIATELY PUTS HIS FISTS UP.

Jordan Rockwell: "Whoa, that's not what I'm here for C-Man. Listen, I know you and I aren't friends and we will never be friends. But I keep thinking about what you said about Edge, ya know how seeing him lose would be just as good as winning. I haven't forgotten about the things Edge did to me so I say that you and I, even if we have to do it together, we make sure that he has no chance tonight".

Christian: "He's got no chance in hell".

CHRISTIAN WALKS AWAY AND A GRIN FORMS ON ROCKWELL's FACE.

THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS AND THE TRIO OF MONEY MIKE, JOE COREY AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, FOLLOWED BY ALEXIS LAREE. ALTHOUGH BOOS CAN BE HEARD, THERE ARE A LOT OF FANS BOTH IN THE NEW HORSEMEN T-SHIRT AND HOLDING UP THE FOUR FINGERS.

J.R.: "Six man tag team action coming up right now folks and before we get into this match, we want to pass along the information we just received that Stephanie McMahon has denied a request to sanction the upcoming match between Travis Wakeman and D.W. Jones. At this point, it is unconfirmed as to who made the request".

Lawler: "That shouldn't come as a surprise to many J.R., Stephanie McMahon and the TWF as a whole is in disapproval of that match".

"619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE ENTRANCE RAMP, COMING OUT TO A HUGE CHEER.

J.R.: "Here comes San Diego's own Rey Mysterio and what a reaction for him here in Pittsburgh"!

Lawler: "Well we've heard the Horsemen, or at least Money Mike, claim for some time now that this will turn into a four on two match"!

THE SOUND OF A REVVING ENGINE IS HEARD BEFORE "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYS AND HIGH OCTANE EMERGES FROM THE BACK TO A BIG RESPONSE.

J.R.: "Well that remains to be seen King but I like the chances of this team tonight! You've got the high flying ability of Mysterio, the never say die attitude of High Octane.......

"LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. HE IS WEARING THE NEW HORSEMEN T-SHIRT WITH A BIG "X" THROUGH THE HORSEMEN SYMBOL.

and the unpredictability of this man"!

Lawler: "You said it there J.R., unpredictability! Nobody really knows what this guy is thinking tonight"!

J.R.: "Well judging by the shirt he's wearing, I'll take a guess"!

Lawler: "Okay, so let's say this thing does stay three on three. Do you really think these guys can defeat the Horsemen"?

J.R.: "I just said I like their chances. The Horsemen might be the favorites on paper but this is the upset special as far as I'm concerned, look what happened in the tag team match at Anarchy Rulz last month"!

Lawler: "That was last month. The Horsemen have made a lot of adjustments since then".

6 Man Tag

The Horsemen w/ Alexis Laree vs. Rey Mysterio, "High Octane" Damion West and Carney

Jason Oliver got into the ring with High Octane, renewing their individual rivalry. Oliver got the best of a tie up, pushing Octane back to the corner and rattling his teeth with a right hand. He then whipped him to the far corner and followed in with a heavy clothesline. Octane was already feeling some serious pain as Oliver pulled him up and whipped him back to the original corner. But Octane moved out of the way as he charged in and then jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, pounding Oliver with right hands as the crowd counted along 1......2.......3......4....., but Oliver stepped out and dropped West on the top turnbuckle pad with a reverse snake eyes. He then made the tag to Corey who came in and continued to slow Octane down with a punishing attack. After a falling backdrop suplex, he hit the ropes and dropped a big knee on his forehead, going for the cover and getting 2 and 1/2. Corey pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but West countered with a jumping leg-o-matic when Corey dropped his head too soon. He then made it to his corner and tagged in Carney who came in and stared down Corey before making the tag back to Octane. This really slowed down any momentum they had as Octane ran right into a spinebuster from Corey who then dragged Octane to his team's corner before bringing Money Mike into the match. Mike attacked the left side of West's ribs with some sharp uppercuts before sending him to the corner for a charging reverse back elbow. Mike then tried for a suplex but Octane slung over him and clipped Mike with the superkick, his signature move. But he definitely didn't get all of it. It did provide him the time to get to his corner and tag in Carney but after circling Mike, Carney went back and tagged in Mysterio. Mysterio was verbally upset with Carney at this point, yelling "What are yhou doing"? Mike charged and threw a right hand but Mysterrio blocked it and hit a flurry of chops and punches before using his wheelbarrow bulldog to really get the crowd alive. Mysterio then caught Corey and Oliver with shots as they tried to come in before going to the top rope and flying off but Mike took him out of the air with a clothesline. Mike then tagged in Corey before running across the ring and knocking Octane off the apron with a right hand. Corey whipped Mysterio into the ropes but missed with a clothesline. He then ran at Rey but Rey used a drop toehold to drop him over the middle ring rope. Rey then called for the 6-1-9 but in a stunning turn of events, Carney came off the top rope with a missile dropkick on Rey. Carney had a far off look in his eyes as the crowd burst into boos while Corey picked up the pieces, driving Rey into the mat with the "Showstopper" to get the 1.........2........3.

Match Time: 10:02

J.R.: "Well I'll be damned! Carney has done the unthinkable here"!

Lawler: "I said you were right on by describing this guy as unpredictable J.R. and I don't think too many people predicted this"!

AS THE HORSEMEN THEME SONG PLAYED, MIKE CAME INTO THE RING WITH ANOTHER HORSEMEN T-SHIRT, TOSSING IT TO CARNEY WHO PROUDLY PUT IT ON AFTER REMOVING THE ONE HE WORE TO THE RING AND DURING THE MATCH.

J.R.: "To say I'm disappointed in this decision would be an understatement! Damn you Carney, damn you"!

PARKING GARAGE.......

D.W. JONES IS SHOWN OUT IN THE PARKING GARAGE AS A BLACK BMW PULLS UP.

Lawler: "Wait a minute, what's this"?

THE PASSENGER DOOR OPENS AND A BIG MAN IN BLUE JEANS AND A WHITE TANK TOP STEPS OUT.

J.R.: "Oh no, not him. That's two men who aren't under TWF contract at a TWF event"!

Lawler: "we all know who that is J.R., it's Zues, the man who helped Jones defeat his brother four years ago"!

"DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT WITH THE LEGENDARY RIC FLAIR. THE FANS RISE TO A STANDING OVATION.

Cole: "I gotta admit Jesse, the Rampage side of things has been very exciting tonight but one thing they don't have is the Intercontinental title and we are ready to decide that right now"!

Ventura: "That's exactly right and with the multiple time World champion in his corner tonight, Axl Irvin might have all the motivation he needs tonight to take the gold"!

"COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE STARTS UP AND ORLANDO JORDAN COMES OUT WITH THE SEAN O'HAIRE WHO HAS THE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST, HIDING BEHIND THE BLACK TRENCH COAT HE IS KNOWN FOR.

Cole: "The man that will be in the corner of O'Haire was once a close associate of Axl Irvin and as far as I'm concerned, has just been led to believe O'Haire is a great man when we both know differently! I mean, how many people is O'Haire going to make....

Ventura: "Will you stop Cole! Did you ever consider that just maybe Orlando Jordan wanted to surround himself with greatness?! He sure wasn't when he was running with Axl Irvin"!

Cole: "We all know you're a big fan of O'Haire's ability but let's break it down to the brass tax. He pollutes people's minds with his beliefs and promises them things in return, promises he never makes good on! He told Ric Flair that his wife had been rushed to the hospital for God sake, what kind of man does that"?!

Ventura: "I'm not going to get into this argument with you, I'm a judge of the man's in ring ability, not his character"!

TWF Intercontinental Title Match

Challenger: Axl Irvin w/ Ric Flair vs. Sean O'Haire w/ Orlando Jordan

The fans were treated to a great match here, possibly the best all night. From a standing position, Axl grabbed O'Haire in a headlock but O'Haire pushed him to the ropes and hit him with a shoulder tackle. But Axl didn't go down and then ducked a swinging backhand before delivering an inverted atomic drop. Axl shot O'Haire to the ropes and went down low with a punch before connecting with a DDT. Axl went for the cover and a quick win but O'Haire was up at 2. Axl pulled him up and saw Jordan on the apron, jawing at him and he responded with a right hand to knock him to the floor. Axl turned around and ducked a clothesline before shooting O'Haire to the ropes only he missed a clothesline as well and O'Haire used an impressive footsweep to get him to the mat. From there, O'Haire got a running start and kicked Axl sqaure in the chest. He followed with another kick to the chest and the impact sent a loud echo through the arena. O'Haire tried to go for the "Widowmaker" but Axl slipped off his shoulders and delivered a reverse DDT. Then, in a move that got a huge cheer from the crowd, Axl locked in the figure four leg lock. O'Haire did all he could to fight the pain but was about ready to tap as Axl had it locked in good. In a last ditch effort, O'Haire got enough of his weight shifted to turn the move over, reversing the pressure. Axl unlocked his legs which was his only choice. O'Haire then began to wear down Axl with his martial arts skills, a style that no one seems to be able to match in the ring. After a straight kick to the gut, O'Haire hit the ropes and smashed Irvin with a spinning roundhouse. O'Haire made the cover but only got a 2 count. Seeing the desperate situation, Flair tried to get the attention of O'Haire and it started to work until Jordan grabbed a steel chair and came around the ring, pounding Flair over the head with it. O'Haire turned around and Axl caught him with a double sledge to the chest followed by another one. He then shot him to the ropes and caught him with a textbook powerslam but upon getting up, he saw Flair on the ground, now bleeding. This allowed O'Haire to get up and lift Axl onto his shoulders, delivering the Widowmaker and for good measure, Jordan held the feet of Axl to the mat as referee Charles Robinson made it official with a 3 count.

Macth Time: 9:28

Ventura: "He got him! O'Haire's still the champ"!

Cole: "Thanks in large part to Jordan but don't get to excited OJ, your reward from O'Haire won't be anything"!

"COME ON" PLAYED AGAIN AS JORDAN HELPED O'HAIRE UP THE RAMP TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF BOOS. BACK AT RINGSIDE, AXL's PRIMARY CONCERN WAS FLAIR.

Ventura: "Yeah there will be, he'll get to be around greatness that much longer"!

Cole: "Axl Irvin is genuinely concerned about the condition of Flair who has become somewhat of a mentor for him of late. This is a damn shame fans.

THE CROWD CHEERS AS AXL GETS FLAIR TO HIS FEET.

There we go, Flair's up and that is great to see. I sure hope O'Haire and Orlando are proud of themselves"!

BACKSTAGE.....

TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN LACING HIS BOOTS WITH TRISH NEARBY.

Trish Stratus: "You sure you don't need me tonight"?

Travis Wakeman: "Remember what Bradshaw did to you? I don't want that it again and this match is gonna be a lot more serious. I'll see you in a bit".

WAKEMAN GETS UP AND LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM AS TRISH LETS OUT A DEEP SIGH.

J.R.: "Wakeman-D.W. Jones is coming up"!

A VOLCANO SURROUNDED BY A LARGE BODY OF WATER IS SHOWN, RUMBLING. MOMENTS LATER IT ERUPTS, SENDING OFF A STREAM OF LAVA AND ROCK-FILLED DEBRIS. THE LETTERS T.....W.....F ARE FORMED WHEN THE DEBRIS LANDS.

Voiceover: "Don't miss TWF Eruption live on Pay-Per-View when all the stars of PrimeTime will rock the Earth"!

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, THE FANS IMMEDIATELY GO INTO BOOS AS AN ANGRY LOOKING D.W. JONES COMES OUT.

J.R.: "The fans here in Pittsburgh sure are fortunate King because Eruption is going to be held right here in the Mellon arena too"!

Lawler: "It sure is and I'm ready for an eruption right now, a family eruption"!

J.R.: "It was just days over four years ago when this man defeated his brother at the huge Welcome to Our Yard event but winning wasn't enough because he claims that Wakeman still could care less about him and ya know King, he blames Wakeman's wife for a large part of it"!

Lawler: "And that's exactly why Trish is gonna be in the back tonight"!

"MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN CAME OUT, RUNNING TO THE RING AND THE TWO BEGAN EXCHANGING SHOTS AFTER JONES PUT THE BOOTS TO HIM.

J.R.: "And here we go and just to throw it out there one more time, the TWF has chosen to unsanction this match"!

D.W. Jones vs. Travis Wakeman

Both men were throwing heavy haymakers but Wakeman finally blocked one and kicked Jones in the midsection before hitting the ropes for a big clothesline. Wakeman had a rage inside we don't usually see but Jones was able to get up and lowblow him before tossing him over the top rope. The referee was only in the ring to make the 3 count or call for a submission, disqualifications and count outs were irrelevant. Jones threw Wakeman into the barricade before dropping him face first over the ring steps. He then climbed back into the ring and yelled at the fans, saying "his career ends tonight"! Wakeman reached under the ring apron and found a kendo stick, concealing it well. When Jones reached through the ropes to try to bring him back in, Wakeman smashed him over the head with it. He then went to the top rope and came off with a guillotine legdrop, a move he used early in his career as a finisher. He made his way to Jones and covered him but somehow, Jones got up just in time. Just then, Zues came from the crowdm hopping the rail. In his right hand was a lead pipe and when Wakeman turned to see him, he smashed him right in the face with the pipe. Jones made the cover and got 1.........2........., but Wakeman got up and the crowd let out a huge roar. Just then, Trish came running out and Jones pointed to her to let Zues know. She jumped on Zues' shoulders and was trying to choke him by he flung her over him and she hit the floor hard. Zues then pulled the pipe back and was going to hit Trish with it but Jones yelled "No"! Zues was confused and decided to leave, going through the crowd with the pipe in hand. Jones turned and threw a kick at a bleeding Wakeman but he caught his foot and swept out his other one before locking in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring. Jones had nowhere to go and was struggling to get to the ropes but Wakeman sat back on it as far as he could and Jones tapped out.

Match Time: 6:44

WAKEMAN IMMEDIATELY WENT OUTSIDE THE RING TO HELP TRISH UP.

J.R.: "My God what a turn of events! Wakeman has defeated his brother, despite help from the man who helped him win the first time"!

Lawler: "But Trish doesn't look so good J.R."!

WAKEMAN PICKED TRISH UP AND STARTED WALKING UP THE RAMP TO A BIG CHEER.

D.W. Jones: "Travis...... hold on"!

WAKEMAN TURNS AND JONES DROPS THE MICROPHONE. TRAVIS AND TRISH START WALKING BACK AND GET INTO THE RING.

WITH WAKEMAN READY TO FIGHT AGAIN, JONES EXTENDS HIS HAND AND AFTER HESISTATING BRIEFLY, WAKEMAN SHAKES IT. JONES THEN GETS A HUG FROM TRISH AS "MAKE WAY" HITS AND THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS.

J.R.: "I would've never thought this would end this way King but what a pleasant surprise"!

Lawler: "It looks like Jones has dropped any hatred he had just like that, all the hostility is gone"!

J.R.: "Wakeman has avenged the loss from four years ago but more importantly, he can call this man his brother again and folks coming up next is a rematch from WrestleMania six and it is for the World heavyweight title.... take a look".

A VIDEO PACKAGE IS SHOWN STARTING WITH THE MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA 6 IN WHICH JOHN CENA DEFEATED DREW BLOOD. FROM THERE, DREW BLOOD IS "INJURED" AND HIS DOCTOR IS INTRODUCED INTO THE PICTURE. FROM THERE, DREW BLOOD PUTS AN END TO THE DEADPOOL AS CENA CONTINUES HIS WINNING WAYS AGAINST THE LIKES OF A-TRAIN, KURT ANGLE AND OTHERS. DREW BLOOD AND HIS DOCTOR THEN ATTACKED JOHN CENA AS HE ARRIVED TO ONE OF THE ARENAS AND STOLE HIS WORLD TITLE BELT. DREW BLOOD THEN SAID IF CENA WANTS THE BELT BACK, HE HAS TO TAKE IT BACK.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, THE LIGHTS ARE OUT AND THE EERIE TUNE OF DREW BLOOD's ENTRANCE MUSIC STARTS. AN ARENA SPOTLIGHT FINDS THE DOCTOR WALKING TO THE RING WITH DREW BLOOD IN HIS LING COAT AND DARK SHADES FOLLOWING, THE WORLD TITLE BELT DRAPED OVER HIS SHOULDER.

J.R.: "And here comes the former champion and for those who don't know, that is not his title, he stole it and he's been parading around with.....

Lawler: "You heard the man J.R., if Cena wants the title back, he can take it back"!

"MY TIME IS NOW" STARTS UP AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AS JOHN CENA COMES OUT IN A BEN ROETHLISBERGER STEELERS JERSEY.

J.R.: "Well there's nothing these fans would like to see more than that but Cena not only has to worry about Drew Blood, but his imposter doctor too"!

Lawler: "This doctor applied for and received a manager's license! He has every right to be down there tonight"!

J.R.: "Cena looks focused and for those of you who didn't see WrestleMania, it was Cena who used the F-U to end the title reign of Drew Blood, he didn't have to steal the damn thing"!

Lawler: "Well there goes the bell"!

J.R.: "Referee Jim Korderas has been assigned to this championship contest and we are ready to go"!

TWF World Title Match

Challenger: Drew Blood w/ The Doctor vs. John Cena

After Korderas held the title up for everyone to see, Cena grabbed it from him to get a good look, holding the belt for the first time in weeks. But when he went to give it back, Drew Blood charged across the ring with a running forearm that found the mark. He stayed on Cena with some overhand rights but Cena came back with a flurry of punches of his own. Drew Blood caught him with a kneelift before shooting him to the ropes but Cena flew off with a shoulder tackle that changed the tide of the match. Cena then scooped him up for a bodyslam before hitting an elbow drop but a cover only yielded a 2 count. Cena pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but Blood ducked a backhand and a kick to the stomach led to a snap suplex. Blood then went for the fujiwara armbar but Cena drove his legs around the mat until he could comfortably roll out of it. Drew Blood them mistimed a clothesline and Cena countered with his spinning sideslam suplex. The crowd then got up to see him deliver the 5 Knuckle Shuffle and Cena made the cover to get the 1........2............, but Blood was up. As Blood staggered to his feet, Cena hit the ropes but the doctor grabbed his left foot. Cena stopped and turned, taking a swipe at the doctor but Drew Blood came from behind, looking for a backdrop suplex. But Cena punched his way free and set Drew up for the "F-U". This time, Drew was able to counter it by somehow escaping, slipping off his shoulders. Drew then reached into his boot and pulled out a syringe but Korderas wasn't about to let him use it, forcefully taking it away. But as this was going on, the doctor got on the apron and stuck Cena in the shoulder with another syringe! Cena desperately tried to remove it and finally did but Drew Blood moved in and hit the "Blood Bath", hooking the leg for the 1......2........3.

Match Time: 7:23

J.R.: "What the hell was that?! Did he actually stick a syringe into Cena?! My God.......

Lawler: "I'm not sure exactly what happened J.R. but I am sure that we have a new World champion"!

DREW BLOOD AND HIS DOCTOR LEFT WITH THE BELT TO A LOT OF BOOS AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED.

J.R.: "John Cena has been robbed of the title, literally and figuratively! Somebody has to do something about this"!

Lawler: "And according to my notes J.R., Drew Blood just became a three time World champ"!

J.R.: "If you add the Universal title, yes he is"!

BACKSTAGE......

IDALIS IS STANDING WITH SHANE THOMPSON.

Idalis: "Shane, in just a few moments, you will enter the Elimination Chamber to defend your Universal......

Shane Thompson: "Let me cut you off right there sweet stuff. You want to know if I am worried, yada, yada, yada. I have held this title (pointing to the belt around his waist) since the Royal Rumble. I haven't been worried about any title defenses between now and then so why the hell would I be worried tonight, huh? After I go out there tonight, as the last entrant in the chamber, and retain my belt, yet again, maybe I will start to get the motherfuckin' respect I deserve around here"!

IDALIS IS STARTLED BY THOMPSON's CHOICE OF WORDS AS HE WALKS AWAY.

BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, THE FANS ARE AWESTRUCK AS THE CHAMBER HAS LOWERED AND SET AROUND THE RING.

BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER.

Cole: "Get ready fans, this will be the second ever Elimination Chamber match in TWF history and Jesse, PrimeTime had the first one too"!

Ventura: "I remember it well Michael and I'm sure a lot of these fans do too"!

"BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS, BRINGING OUT THE HARDCORE CHAMPION JORDAN ROCKWELL.

Cole: "Here is a man who knows what it's like to win that Universal title but probably more importantly, he knows what it's like to compete in the Elimination Chamber".

Ventura: "Experience is huge and I think the Hardcore Open he has been holding could actually have prepared him for some of the punishment he os going to take tonight"!

"BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE STARTS UP AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT TO A MOSTLY POSITIVE RESPONSE AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF BATISTA LOOKING ON FROM INSIDE HIS CHAMBER.

Cole: "Randy Orton has been picked by a lot of fans to win this thing tonight. He's young, he's tough and he knows how to win"!

Ventura: "I just wonder how long this allegiance between he and Batista is gonna last".

"WAITING TO DIE" BY HED HITS AND OUT COMES SHANE THOMPSON WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. HE IS HEAVILY BOOED.

Cole: "Well as much as I hate to admit it, perhaps the favorite tonight is this man! The Beat the Clock challenge, which he didn't even want to compete in, got him the sixth spot in this match"!

Ventura: "By the time he gets in there, some of these guys will likely be gone Cole"!

"JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND CHRISTIAN COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. BUT FROM BEHIND COMES EDGE, ATTACKING CHRISTIAN TO START THE MATCH.

Cole: "Oh look out! Edge isn't waiting to be introduced"!

Ventura: "I love the idea, don't even give him a chance Edge"!

Elimination Chamber/TWF Universal Title Match

Edge vs. Christian vs. Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Jordan Rockwell vs. (c) Shane Thompson

Christian wasn't expecting the blindside attack and Edge really took it to him, finally getting him through the open chamber door. Once both were inside, the door closed and locked shut and Edge stayed on Christian, treating the match as more of a street fight by kicking at his head and delivering some swinging punches on the ground. Edge then tossed Christian over the top rope and onto the steel platform before following him out and staying on him with more kicks. But Christian was able to grab the left leg of Edge and get to his feet before sending him face first into the steel of the chamber. Christian then hit Edge in the back with a couple forearms before delivering a falling backdrop suplex right on the steel. Edge contorted his back to show he was in severe pain as Christian got back in the ring to see the chamber of Randy Orton open. Orton came right at Christian with a couple right hands before trying to hit the "RKO" but Christian pushed out of it and caught him with a dropkick. Just then, Christian turned right into a springboard clothesline from Edge who made the cover but Orton broke it up. Orton then lifted Edge up for a suplex but Christian kicked him in the gut and Edge used the momentum to pull Orton forward into a small package to get the 1........2.........., but Orton was up. Just then, the 2 minute time limit was up and Batista kicked his chamber door open, entering the ring. He smoked Edge and Christian with 2 clotheslines each before lifting Christian into the air with a body press slam. Batista then shook the ropes which really got the crowd involved as Orton took on Edge, making it somewhat of a tag team match. Jordan Rockwell came in at #5 and quickly found himself on the steel area of the chamber with Edge. Edge was able to ram him face first into the steel post of the ring before putting him down with a DDT on the steel. He made the cover and got a long 2 count before Rockwell got his shoulder up but Rockwell was definitely shaken. In the ring, Christian was doing all he could to fight off both Orton and Batista but Batista picked him up and threw him like a dart into one of the glass chambers. It didn't break which was surprising. 11 minutes into the match, the Universal champion Shane Thompson came in and went right to the top rope, hitting Batista with a double axe handle. But Batista turned and smashed Thompson with a clothesline before clotheslining Edge and Rockwell. Suddenly, Orton tried to hit the "RKO" on Batista out of nowhere but Batista blocked it before putting Orton down with a spinebuster. Christian came from behind on Batista but when Orton got up, Edge slammed into him with the spear, making him the first elimination. Edge then began to help Christian with Batista as Rockwell and Thompson went at it in the corner. Batista caught a charging Edge with his spinebuster before lifting up Christian and delivering the "Batista Bomb" right on Edge! Batista piled onto both of them as referee Mike Chioda made the 3 count, putting them both out. Batista then made his way out to the steel platform where he threw Rockwell face first into the steel wall before doing the same to Thompson. Batista seemed almost unstoppable until Thompson slowed him down with a front kick to the groin. Batista responded with a kick to the face but he was still hurting and Rockwell flew off the top rope, driving Batista face first into the steel with a bulldog. Both men were writhing in pain as Rockwell made the cover to get the 1..........2.........3. With Rockwell down, Thompson was almost smiling as he kicked Rockwell all about his body. Rockwell finally caught one of the kicks but Thompson turned it into a reverse mule kick. He then delivered a flying helo and made the cover to get the 1.........2......., but Rockwell was up. Thompson went to the top rope and came off with the axe handle, connecting with it. Rockwell went to one knee as Thompson punched him two more times before hitting the ropes but something made Rockwell pop up and catch him with the Rock Smasher. Rockwell had a fierce look in his eyes as he waited for Thompson to get up and when he did he threw a clothesline but Thompson ducked and kicked him in the chest. He then went for the "Total Eclipse" but Rockwell countered it mid move with an Alabama Slam but instead of slamming him on the mat, he opted to put him down on the steel! Thompson was motionless as Rockwell climbed through the ropes and covered him to get the 3 count and win the Universal title"!

Match Time: 16:48

Cole: "Can you believe it! Jordan Rockwell has done it"!

Ventura: "I don't believe it Cole! He took so much abuse, so much punishment in there"!

CONFETTI BEGAN TO FALL FROM THE RAFTERS AS "BACK IN BLACK" HIT AND ROCKWELL WAS HANDED THE TITLE, RAISING IT UP FOR THE CROWD.

Cole: "After seven long months, the title reign of Shane Thompson has ended inside the Elimination Chamber and the Franchise is back on the top of the mountain"!
