"BIG THINGS POPPIN'" BY T.I. HITS AND THE FIREWORKS GO OFF TO START BADLANDZ! WE'VE DRAWN A HUGE CROWD AT THE TRUMP TAJ MAHAL IN ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY!

Mike Tenay: Ladies and Gentlemen, we're coming to you live from the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City! And believe me when I say this, we've got one heck of a show in store for you!

Brooklyn Brawler: Damn right, Tenay! We've got a huge 6-Man Tag Team Match for the Main Event, in which Badlandz World Champion Kane will team with Val Venis and the Number One Contender, AJ Styles, to take on Marcus Cor Von and T & A.

Mike Tenay: And believe me when I say this, Brawler... Tension will be high between AJ Styles and Kane!

Brooklyn Brawler: Obviously, Tenay! I mean when you're facing a guy like Kane for the World Title just next week, you obviously want to get an upper hand!

"COP KILLA" BY ICE-T HITS AND OUR ACTION IS ABRUPTLY UNDER WAY. HOMICIDE COMES OUT OF HIS SIGNATURE ENTRANCE ALONG WITH CHRIS JERICHO, AS THE TWO MEN MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE RING FOR HOMICIDE'S MATCH.

Brooklyn Brawler: And here comes a man with a death wish, Tenay!

Mike Tenay: I want to, but I don't think I can argue that. I mean, why would someone that small want to challenge Mr. Hughes?!

Brooklyn Brawler: Beats me, Tenay...

MR. HUGHES' MUSIC HITS NEXT, AND HE QUICKLY MARCHES DOWN TO THE RING WITH BULL BUCHANON TRAILING. BUCHANON IS TALKING TRASH TO THE CROWD AS HUGHES GETS IN AND QUICKLY GOES AFTER HOMICIDE!

Mr. Hughes gets into the ring and goes right for Homicide, but Homicide is able to use his speed to escape Hughes' grasp and lay some kicks in on the bohemoth's legs. After trying to chop down the big guy, Homicide plants a Shining Wizard right on the temple of Mr. Hughes, but only gets a quick 2 count. Homicide continues to kick away at Mr. Hughes, and once he gets up, goes for the Gringo Killa, but gets tossed to the ground for his trying. Homicide gets up and runs right back at Hughes, but gets planted by a Swinging Sidewalk Slam! Hughes covers Homicide with only one arm, and the referee counts the 1... 2... 3.. No! Homicide gets his shoulder up at the last second! Buchanon can't believe it, but simply yells "Finish Him!" to Hughes. Hughes awaits Homicide's standing up, and then grabs him by the throat, looking for the move he used on Homicide on the last show! Homicide had it scouted this time, though, and in mid-air caught Hughes with a nicely done Hurricanrana! Before Hughes could stand up, Homicide pulled a Flapjack out of his shorts, and cracked Hughes across the face! The referee instantly called for the bell, but Homicide kept laying in hits before Buchanon came in, only to receive one for himself!

Brooklyn Brawler: No! What a thug, what a thug!

Mike Tenay: That's what you call karma, Brawler! Hughes wants to assault Homicide, so Homicide is assaulting him right back!

Brooklyn Brawler: Well Homicide also made one hell of a mistake, because next week those four men will be in a Steel Cage... And he won't be able to hit and run!

Mike Tenay: Unless I'm seeing things, Brawler... It's Hughes and Buchanon who are running for the second straight time!

JERICHO AND HOMICIDE RAISE EACH OTHER'S HANDS IN THE RING AS HUGHES AND BUCHANON RECOVER THEMSELVES WHILE WALKING UP THE RAMP. THE SCENE GOES TO A COMMERCIAL BREAK...

A COMMERCIAL FOR BLEACH IS SHOWN. A COMMERCIAL HYPING THE MOVIE "WAR" STARRING JET LI AND JASON STATHAM IS SHOWN, HYPING THE RELEASE ON DVD.

WHEN WE GET BACK FROM THE COMMERCIAL BREAK, JOSH MATTHEWS HAS HOMICIDE AND CHRIS JERICHO STANDING BY. THE TWO SUPERSTARS ARE SIDE BY SIDE WITH SMILES ON THEIR FACES.

Josh Matthews: I guess I'll cut straight to the point. What the heck just happened out there?!

Homicide: Listen, vato! I told all ya'll that I ain't takin' shit from nobody in the entire TWF, an' that includes Mr. Hughes! I laid that big motha out, and I showed him and Bull Buchanon exactly why size is the only advantage they have. And believe me, size ain't matta as much as you think.

Chris Jericho: You've got that right, Homicide. But listen, Juniors! If you two jackasses really think that you have the teeny, tiny, itsy-bitsy chance to beat us, think again! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah and The Notorious 187 are coming in that Steel Cage with our heads raised, and coming out with our hands raised. You got it, ass clowns?!

Homicide: Brrrrrrrat!

HOMICIDE AND JERICHO EXIT THE PICTURE AS MATTHEWS SEEMS CONVINCED. WE RETURN TO RINGSIDE WHERE MIKEY TENAY AND BROOKLYN BRAWLER ARE AWAITING OUR NEXT MATCH..

Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, confidence has hurt many superstars, but I'd say that Homicide and Chris Jericho have got a great reason to show it!

Brooklyn Brawler: Great reason to show it? Listen, Tenay! When it comes down to it, Homicide won't have a flapjack inside of that steel cage. All that he's going to have is god, who he better pray to so Mr. Hughes doesn't kill him!

Mike Tenay: That's a very good argument, Brawler, but if these past two shows have shown us anything, it's that Chris Jericho and Homicide will not back down from Bull Buchanon and Mr. Hughes.

THE SCENE SHIFTS TO THE RING WHERE BIG VITO IS STANDING WITH JOHNNY STAMBOLI, AWAITING VITO'S OPPONENT. SUDDENLY "ENTER SANDMAN" BY METALLICA HITS AND THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY BERSERK! THE SINGAPORE CANE-WIELDING MANIAC MAKES HIS SIGNATURE ENTRANCE AS THE CAMERAS SPOT HIM UP IN THE CROWD, WHERE HE WALKS DOWN WITH HIS SINGAPORE CANE RAISED HIGH ABOVE HIS HEAD. SANDMAN FINALLY MAKES HIS WAY DOWN AND STEPS UP ONTO THE GUARDRAIL, WHERE HE OPENS A CAN OF BEER, DRINKS SOME, AND THEN SMASHES IT AGAINST HIS HEAD, ONLY TO HAVE IT CAPPED OFF WITH SPITTING THE BEER ONTO THE TWF FAITHFUL BENEATH HIM. SANDMAN ROLLS INTO THE RING, AND THE BRAWL BEGINS.

As soon as Sandman rolls into the ring, Vito is all over him with boots to the back and stomach. Sandman tries to fight back, as he is able to get to his feet and get in some left hands to the ribs, but Vito knees him in the face and hits a nice Suplex, followed by a quick two count. Vito rubs his forearm in the face of Sandman, only to get up and then drop a hard knee across Sandman's chest. Sandman rolls over towards the ropes and tries to use the ropes to get to his feet, but Vito plants a kick dead in the middle of his torso, followed by a Double Armed DDT which gets him a long two count. Vito complains to the ref that it was three, which gives Sandman enough time to get up to his feet and put a stiff left hand on Vito. Sandman rocks him with a few more until irish whipping him and planting Vito into the mat with a Flapjack. Sandman gets up and looks fired up as he hits a Leg Drop to the back of Vito's head! Sandman proceeds to beg Stamboli to come into the ring, who tries, but the referee won't let him. While this all is going on, Vito takes Sandman's Singapore Cane and cracks Sandman in the back of the head with it. Vito hooks the inside leg as the referee turns around and counts 1… 2… NO! Sandman is just able to get his shoulder up! Vito can't believe it as he tosses Sandman to the outside of the ring for Johnny Stamboli to get some damage in, but the referee sees this coming and tosses Stamboli out! Vito complains to the referee, as does Stamboli, for a good minute before finally going to the outside to grab Sandman, who tosses Vito face first into the guard rail! Sandman then proceeds to step back, and then run at Vito before crushing him with a Side Leg Lariat pushing Vito face first onto the guard rail! Sandman gets up and gets a great pop from the crowd, who watches him throw Vito back into the ring and continue his assault. Sandman stalks his pray, and then plants Vito with a hard DDT! The crowd can feel the end nearing as Sandman climbs up to the top rope. But, Vito catches him with a right hand and goes to Suplex him off, only to fall himself and land on his back! Sandman then gets back to his feet on the top rope, and comes off with the Rolling Rock! The crowd goes crazy as Sandman hooks the inner leg and gets the 1, 2, 3!

Mike Tenay: Wow! And The Sandman's debut on the last show was cut short by his beating of his opponents and later a disqualification, but this week he is able to get the victory as Vito has to be having trouble breathing.

Brooklyn Brawler: Well, lemme tell ya, Tenay! Sandman is no light guy, and he just came off of the top rope and absolutely crushed Big Vito!

Mike Tenay: Well, the woes for the FBI continue as Sandman picks up his first win here in the TWF.

THE SANDMAN CELEBRATES HIS VICTORY BY DRINKING A FEW BEERS AND SMASHING THE CANS OVER HIS HEAD, AS THE CROWD EATS HIM UP. WE SHIFT TO THE BACK AS SANDMAN CELEBRATES, TO SEE BOOKER T STANDING BY. THIS DRAWS NOTHING BUT BOOS, AS THE FANS ARE CLEARLY UPSET TO SEE HIM.

Booker T: Last time on Badlandz, ya'll saw some Kane and AJ Styles team up to beat me down. Now I ain't know about you, but I'm not cool with two on one beat downs! As a matter of fact, I'm not too cool with a lot of things goin' on around here. And one of em' happens to be the fact that Eric Bischoff left me out of that Number One Contender's Match last week.

THE FANS ACTUALLY CHEER WHAT BOOKER SAID, ENRAGING HIM EVEN MORE.

Booker T: Why don't ya'll just shut your mouths before somethin' bad happens! I came to the TWF to win the Badlandz World Title, not to be placed in matches with Homicide and Ron Killings. I mean hell, Ron Killings ain't even here anymore! But you know what, tonight I'ma make an impact that all ya'll suckas are gonna remember. Tonight, I'ma do something that none of ya'll see comin'. So holla if you love me, and shut up if you hate me, because there ain't a damn thing ya'll can do to stop me! Now can you dig THAT, SUCKAAAAAA?!!!!

THE CAMERA FADES TO BLACK AND WE HEAD TO A COMMERCIAL. A TRAILER FOR "HAROLD AND KUMAR" IS SHOWN, NOW PLAYING IN THEATRES EVERYWHERE. A COMMERCIAL FOR "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER," MONDAYS AT 8:30 ON CBS, IS SHOWN.

WE RETURN FROM THE BREAK, AND 'I'M BACK" HITS AND ERIC BISCHOFF COMES OUT TO A UNANIMOUS BOO FROM THE CROWD. HE IS CLEARLY STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS FROM KANE'S CHOKESLAM ON THE LAST SHOW, BUT HAS A SLIGHT SMIRK ON HIS FACE. BISCHOFF GETS INTO THE RING AND GRABS A MIC.

Eric Bischoff: Last time, you all saw Kane Chokeslam me in the middle of the ring as Badlandz went off the air. But this time, you better bet your ass that I'm going to come out on top, because I've got something BIG up my sleeve tonight. But Kane, I'll deal with you later. Right now, I'm introducing you all to four men who are making their TWF debut, as well as a new division. That's right, Eric Bischoff's Badlandz is proud to introduce to you the No Limits Division!

THE CROWD GIVES A SURPRISINGLY BIG CHEER TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, GIVING BISCHOFF EVEN MORE REASON TO SMILE.

Eric Bischoff: So ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to four of the men who will revolutionize the TWF and the No Limits Division!

"HYBRID STIGMATA" by DIMMU BORGIR HITS AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET IN ANTICIPATION.

Eric Bischoff: Introducing first, one of the more interesting superstars in the world! Weighing in at 186 pounds, and standing 5 foot 10, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...... Delirious!

DELIRIOUS COMES OUT IN BLACK PANTS WITH GREEN GRAFFITI ON THEM AND A BLACK MASK WITH DREAD-LIKE STRINGS COMING OUT THE BACK, BOTH GREEN AND BLACK. DELIRIOUS SLAPS HANDS WITH A FEW PEOPLE BEFORE ROLLING INTO THE RING AND GIVING BISCHOFF A THUMBS UP.

Eric Bischoff: Introducing next, weighing in at 232 pounds, standing 6 feet 5 inches tall, From Lucerne, Switzerland, "The Most Money Making Man," "The Stalwart Swiss Powerhouse," Claudio Castagnoli!

"I'VE GOT TO HAVE IT (INSTRUMENTAL)" BY JERMAINE DUPRI FT. NAS AND MONICA HITS AND THE CROWD APPLAUDS THE SECOND MAN IN THE NO LIMITS DIVISION.. CASTAGNOLI COMES OUT, SLAPS HANDS WITH A FEW FANS, AND THEN ROLLS INTO THE RING. HE SHAKES HANDS WITH DELIRIOUS, AND DOES THE SAME THING WITH ERIC BISCHOFF.

Eric Bischoff: The third man, at 5 foot 9 and just 177 pounds, from St. Louis Missouri, Matt Sydal!

"CLAVICLE" BY ALKALINE TRIO HITS AND MATT SYDAL COMES OUT TO A PRETTY BIG POP FROM RANDOM PARTS IN THE CROWD. THEY SEEM TO RECOGNIZE HIM FROM HIS INDY WORK, AS SYDAL SMILES AND THANKS THE FANS BEFORE ROLLING INTO THE RING AND SHAKING HANDS WITH ALL THREE MEN.

Eric Bischoff: And finally, the last man, from Maxwell Street in Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 235 pounds and standing at 6 foot 1, Colt Cabana!

THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FOR THE INDY FAVORITE. CABANA SLAPS HANDS WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE FANS IN THE FRONT ROW, BEFORE ROLLING INTO THE RING AND BUMPING FISTS WITH ALL FOUR MEN IN THE RING.

Eric Bischoff: I won't make you wait long; I just want to let you all know that you'll get to know these four men very well over the next few weeks. So without further adieu, I bring to you, The No Limits Division!

The four men stand on opposite sides of the ring as we get our first look at some of the best independent wrestlers in the world. After all circling the ring, Sydal and Delirious go at it, as do Castagnoli and Cabana. Castagnoli overpowers Cabana, but uses his quickness to get him with an Arm Wrench followed by a European Uppercut to Cabana's inside shoulder. Cabana falls to the mat in pain, checking to see that his shoulder didn't pop out of place. Castagnoli does a pose, before putting two boots to Cabana's head and throwing him to the outside of the ring. We shift over to the other side of the ring where Delirious and Sydal are trading forearm strikes to the face before Delirious finally ducks one and then throws Sydal to the outside of the ring with a Hurricanrana! The 6'5 Castagnoli and 5'10 Delirious look at each other as the crowd awaits something huge, before both men run off the ropes and take down Sydal and Cabana on the outside of the ring with stereo Suicide Dives! The crowd goes absolutely berserk as all four men are down on the outside of the ring..

Mike Tenay: Wow! Can you believe this action, Brawler? I mean we've had our share of high-flyers, but NOTHING like this! A 6 foot 5 man leaping over the top rope?! Wow!

Brooklyn Brawler: I'm speechless, Tenay!

Delirious and Castagnoli are the first to get to their feet, and signal to go after Cabana and Sydal again. But Castagnoli tricks Delirious, and levels him with a Clothesline! Castagnoli lifts up Delirious, and then throws him back into the ring before going to work on him. Castagnoli hits him with a series of European Uppercuts, including one to the back of the head. Castagnoli finally finishes off his attack with a straight-jacket hold into a Powerbomb, a move he calls the Ricola Bomb! He covers Delirious and gets the 1… 2, NO! Matt Sydal came off the top rope with a Shooting Star Press to break up the 3 count! The crowd is going absolutely insane as Sydal tosses Castagnoli out of the ring, only to be hit by a Bionic Elbow from Colt Cabana! Cabana is quick to lift Sydal up and hit a Double Underhook Backbreaker, which he calls the Colt .45, proceeding to hook the leg and get the 1, 2, 3!

Match Time: 6:31

Mike Tenay: Wow! That was incredible, Brawler!

Brooklyn Brawler: And nothing short of it! Stay tuned folks, we've got our Main Event..... NEXT!

WE RETURN FROM A COMMERCIAL BREAK TO SEE KANE AND A.J. STYLES ALREADY IN THE RING. BUT WE HAVE NO TIME TO SEE ANYTHING HAPPEN AS "I'M BACK" HITS AND ERIC BISCHOFF COMES OUT TO THE MOST BOOS WE'VE HEARD ALL NIGHT. BISCHOFF HAS AN EXTREMELY COCKY LOOK ON HIS FACE.

Eric Bischoff: Kane, I've been saying all night that you're going to pay for Chokeslamming me, and now... It's finally going to happen!

The crowd boos Bischoff, and Kane looks at him with an evil look, but Bischoff carries on.

Eric Bischoff: You see Kane, this is MY show. And seeing as it's MY show, I make the rules around here! And on top of the rules, I make the matches. This is why I've decided that on the next episode of Badlandz, you are going to defend your Badlandz World Championship! I know, we already had that planned for you to defend it against AJ Styles, but there's been a little bit of a change. AJ is going to get his shot, but so will another man. That's right, this match, Kane, will be a Triple Threat Match!

KANE, AJ STYLES, AND THE CROWD ALL SHOW THEIR DISAPPROVAL OF THIS COMMENT.

Eric Bischoff: And Kane, the man who is going to be added to that match, well, he'll introduce himself.

Suddenly a masked man comes up from behind Kane and crushes him with a garbage can full of weapons! Kane falls to one knee, but fights back, only to be pummeled with the garbage can repeatedly. AJ Styles runs over rather hesitantly to break it up, but he gets a shot to the face from the trash can. The man suddenly grabs a kendo stick from his can, and smashes Kane repeatedly, as well as a few shots to Styles. The man then picks up the Badlandz World Title, and just leaves the ring with it! He gets to the top of the stage where he stands next to Eric Bischoff.

Eric Bischoff: You see this Kane?! This right here, is your next Badlandz World Champion......... RAVEN!

THE MAN TAKES OFF THE MASK AND REVEALS THAT IT IS INDEED JUST WHO BISCHOFF SAID IT WAS, RAVEN! THE SHOW FADES TO BLACK WITH RAVEN HOLDING THE BADLANDZ WORLD TITLE ABOVE HIS HEAD.
