Astronaut: "It's.... not working".

Astronaut 2: "Oh you gotta be kidding me.... they said it would work".

Astronaut 1: "I'm not getting anything..... we can't miss WrestleMania! Get on the phone or whatever the hell that thing is".

THE OTHER ASTRONAUT PICKS UP SOME SORT OF COMMUNCATION DEVICE.

Astronaut 2: "Houston... we have a problem..... a serious problem".

THE SPACE SHUTTLE IS THEN SHOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE, A HUGE BALL OF FIRE SPEWING OUT OF IT AS IT HEADS TOWARDS THE STARS.

THAT LEADS INTO THE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGE............

FIREWORKS POUND OFF IN RELIANT STADIUM AS AN ABSOLUTE SEA OF FANS IS SHOWN. THE STADIUM ROOF IS OPEN AND THE PYRO IS ILLUMINATING THE HOUSTON SKY AS THE ROAR ENGULFS THE BUILDING. THE CAMERA THEN FOCUSES ON HOUSTON NATIVE BEYONCE KNOWLES, WHO IS WEARING A VERY BEAUTIFUL SPARKLING RED DRESS. SHE PERFORMS "STAR SPANGLED BANNER" AND THE CROWD JUST EATS IT UP, LEADING TO A RAUCOUS "USA, USA, USA" CHANT.

Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen.... we thank you for joining us on a night you do not want to miss! WrestleMania is the battlefield of the best in the world and it's also the scene of some of this industries' greatest moments"!

Jerry Lawler: "I can't begin to describe the atmosphere here..... over seventy thousand fans are here, and it sounds about five times as loud as any Super Bowl"!

J.R.: "Well this is the Super Bowl of professional wrestling and joining us tonight are our broadcast colleagues from over on PrimeTime, Scott Hudson and the Honky Tonk Man"!

THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW HUDSON AND THE HONKY TONK MAN, WEARING A WHITE SUIT, AT THE PRIMETIME BROADCAST POSITION.

Scott Hudson: "It's taken me eleven years to get here, but I gotta say, this is the pinnacle of my professional career.... I can't wait".

Honky Tonk Man: "Well I can tell you right now that something is gonna go down tonight..... I don't know what yet, I'm waiting on my sources to confirm some info, but I can feel it"!

Hudson: "Your sources? Gimme a break".

JUST THEN, MONEY MIKE APPEARS FROM THE BACK, FOLLOWED BY CRIS HENNING AND DEVON WADE. THEIR IS NO ENTRANCE MUSIC, SO THE BOOS CAN BE HEARD EVEN LOUDER.

Money Mike: "I need every single one of you idiots in the crowd to shut your mouths and take a good look at the team that I have brought to the TWF! These are my guys....... guys who respect the opportunity they have been given and tonight, they will leave this God forsaken dump as your Rampage Tag Team champions"!

J.R.: "Money Mike endearing himself to the fans as usual".

Lawler: "What do you know about this team of Wade and Henning, J.R., cause I don't know anything".

J.R.: "Well I don't know much more. They've been down in the TWF's developmental system for some time now but they have some kind of connection to Money Mike, which is of course why they're here".

"I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED COMES ON AND MONICA LEADS OUT EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND THE BOOGEYMAN. THEY ARE BOOED BY MOST OF THE CROWD AND MONICA HAS A MICROPHONE IN HER HAND.

Monica: "Mike...... you want to talk about disrespect?! How about the fact that people still have the nerve to question this team?! Ya know, the team you so ridiculously still take credit for leading to the titles! After we beat your buddies tonight, it's just gonna be another step towards being the best tag team in the history of the TWF"!

J.R.: "Strong words from Monica as the champions head to the ring here and what an opening contest we have here, King".

Lawler: "Well ya know, that last statement made by Monica used to draw nothing but laughs, but it's becoming harder and harder to argue that".

J.R.: "The Boogeyman and The Saint have never been beaten. How likely is it that a team in their first official match takes the titles from them"?

TWF Rampage Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Devon Wade and Cris Henning w/ Money Mike vs. The BoogeySaints w/ Monica

As the bell sounded to start the match, Money Mike stood in the ring, challenging both The Saint and Boogeyman to get into the ring. Monica held her team back as referee Jose Mendez ordered Mike to his corner. Devon Wade got in to start the match for the challengers, and The Saint elected to start things for his team. Saint charged in but the rookie Wade was ready, taking him down with an arm drag. After another quick armdrag, he tagged Henning who came in and with Wade, drilled Saint James with a double dropkick. They then picked Saint up and whipped him to the ropes, delivering a nice double hip toss slam. Mendez grabbed Wade and made him get out of the ring but Henning covered Saint and got a quick 2 count. Henning pulled Saint up and rocked him with a european style uppercut before making another tag to Wade. Wade came from the apron and barreled over Saint with a clothesline. Mike could do nothing but applaud and let out a loud "Woooo" as his team was looking great. Wade came off the middle turnbuckle with a legdrop on Saint and went for the cover, but he could only get a 2 count, again. Back on the feet, Wade kicked Saint James in the abdomen twice before running the ropes and ducking a clothesline but Monica grabbed his foot to slow him down. Wade turned and took his attention off the legal man, which allowed Saint James to hit him in the back of the head from behind. Boogeyman finally tagged into the match, and that's when things completely changed. Wade and Henning had no answer for the weird superstar. After tossing Wade head first across the ring, Boogeyman got a running start and charged across the ring, splashing him in the corner. He then grabbed Henning and pulled him into the ring and began to put the boots to him when Wade jumped on his back, trying to lock in a sleeper hold. But Boogeyman just fell backwards, right onto the youngster Wade. Boogeyman picked Wade up and flung him into the corner of his team, where he tagged in The Saint. Saint came in and with both right and left hands, just swung at the head of Wade, rocking him in the corner. He then whipped him to the far side and came running in, only to walk into a back elbow from Wade. After using the ropes to catch Saint with a flying kick to the face, Wade slapped the waiting hand of Henning. Henning came in like a freight train and was all over The Saint, who did not look good in this match. Henning picked him up, showing a good deal of strength, and delivered a swinging sideslam before turning and knocking Boogeyman right off the apron with a right hand. The falling Boogeyman just barely missed a fleeing Monica. Henning then went to the outside of the ring and went to the top rope. But he took his time to get there and jumped off, only to have The Saint kick him square in the mouth on the way down. Boogeyman ran around the outside of the ring and pulled Wade off the apron, challenging Money Mike to make a move. In the ring, The Saint got Henning up and delivered the "Death to Humanity", hooking the leg for the 1..............2................3!

Match Time: 8:44

Lawler: "Oh my gosh...... he drove Henning right into the mat head first with that"!

J.R.: "A huge setback for the Money Mike contingent, but it must be a great feeling for Monica and her boys"!

MONICA JUMPED UP AND DOWN IN CHEER, SHOWING MORE EMOTION THAN WE HAVE EVER SEEN FROM HER AS SHE HANDED HER TEAM THEIR TITLE BELTS WHILE "I WILL BE HEARD" PLAYED AGAIN.

Lawler: "Well you said it, J.R., this has to be a major monkey off the back of the BoogeySaints"!

J.R.: "Money Mike seemed to have visions of WrestleMania 11 being a huge night for him....... well that plan just took a big hit"!

IN THE RING, WADE AND HENNING SEEMED VERY APOLOGETIC TO AN UNHAPPY MONEY MIKE.

BACKSTAGE AREA....... DRESSING ROOM.....

IN THE BACK, DAMION WEST AND CHAOS WOLF ARE SHOWN TOGETHER.

Chaos Wolf: "Look, I thought we had this problem solved, but apparently, we don't. Not if you're still going behind my back, making accusations about me".

Damion West: "And for you to stand there and lie is just..... ya know what, this is what they want, this is what Punk and Cabana want. They want us to be at odds. So let's go out there tonight, even if it's just tonight, and be the best team we can be".

WOLF LOOKS AT WEST MOMENTARILY BEFORE LEAVING THE ROOM.

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CHRIS TIRPAK IS STANDING WITH COURTNEY TAYLOR.

Courtney Taylor: "Chris, coming up next, you will face Richard Ramsley in what has become a very personal situation".

Chris Tirpak: "Once again, we're at the biggest event of the year, Wrestlemania, and I'm putting up joining Ramlsey's group versus me caining Ramsley. Ramsley, I really hope you're ready to get beat up because I'm going to have fun kicking your ass for five minutes! I may not even bother doing it, because after tonight, this will be all over, just remember you have unleashed the beast within, can you handle it, because I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KILL YOU"!

"THE DROWNING" BY THE HAUNTED COMES ON, BRINGING RICHARD RAMSLEY OUT AND HE VERY SLOWLY AND METHODICALLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING, HIS HAIR MOSTLY COVERING HIS EYES.

Lawler: "You can look far and wide and I don't think you'll find a more deranged man than we're looking at right now, J.R.".

J.R.: "That's why I shudder to think what he has planned if Chris Tirpak actually has to join his group".

Lawler: "In recent weeks, we've seen Ramsley beat Tirpak with his own weapon, the kendo stick, multiple times. Tonight, Tirpak has a chance to do it for five minutes, or face exile to Ramsley's personal group"!

AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, "KILL YOU" BY DETHKOK COMES ON AND A CAMERA FURIOUSLY SEARCHES THE CROWD, TRYING TO LOCATE CHRIS TIRPAK. INSTEAD, HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, A MUCH DIFFERENT DEMEANOR THAN USUAL.

J.R.: "I could tell in his words backstage that Chris Tirpak has turned into a different animal for this one..... and I think he has to be".

Lawler: "New ring music.... coming out from the back instead of through the crowd.... Tirpak is all business tonight"!

TIRPAK DOVE INTO THE RING AND TACKLED RAMSLEY, SLINGING PUNCHES AT HIM AS REFEREE CHAD PATTON DID HIS BEST TO PULL THEM APART.

Richard Ramsley vs. Chris Tirpak

It became clear that Patton wasn't going to be able to pull the two men apart as Tirpak just fired down shots on Ramsley. Finally, Ramsley was able to reverse the position and after choking Tirpak for a few seconds, he broke free and drove a knee right into his face. Ramsley then got down and tried to dig his fingers into the eyes of Tirpak, which looked very dangerous. After pulling Tirpak up, Ramsley threw a steady diet of kicks to the body and haymakers to the head to batter Tirpak before delivering an STO takedown. Ramsley then threw Tirpak through the ring ropes to the floor. But after following him out, Tirpak got up and exploded into Ramsley with a spear that drove him into the steel ring steps. After smashing Ramsley's head off the top of the stairs, Tirpak rolled him back into the ring and followed him in. He then picked Ramsley up and set him up for the "Lights Out", but Ramsley slid off his shoulders and pulled him right into a very vicious DDT. He rolled Tirpak over and got 1..............2.........., but Tirpak was up. Ramsley grabbed Tirpak by the hair, getting him to his feet. He then whipped him into the corner but as he walked in on him, Tirpak put his right foot in his face, a shot that definitely hurt Ramsley. But Ramsley came back with a running forearm to the face before going to the outside of the ring and to the top rope. Holding Tirpak's head with one hand, Ramsley had his knee on the back of the head and it looked like he wanted to drive him into the mat that way. But Tirpak got free and punched Ramsley in the abdomen twice. From there, Tirpak climbed the turnbuckle from the other side. Though a precarious position, both men were up on the top rope when Tirpak tucked Ramsley's head down and actually fell from the top rope with a piledriver! Ramsley's head actually bounced off the mat as the massive crowd let out a collective "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh". Tirpak was able to crawl atop Ramsley into a cover and Patton slapped the mat for the 3 count.

Match Time: 4:08

Lawler: "Wow..... did you see that"?!

J.R.: "That might be the damndest thing I've ever seen"!

Lawler: "Oh no.... now it's time for Ramsley to pay the consequences"!

STILL SHAKEN FROM THE PILEDRIVER, RAMSLEY COULDN'T DEFEND HIMSELF AS TIRPAK GRABBED HIS RIGHT HAND AND HANDCUFFED HIM TO THE MIDDLE RING ROPE. HE THEN WENT OUTSIDE THE RING AND PULLED OUT A KENDO STICK FROM UNDER THE APRON AS THE CROWD LET OUT SEVERAL CHEERS.

J.R.: "It's Richard Ramsley's worst nightmare"!

Lawler: "I don't know if I can bear to watch this"!

A TIMER WITH 5 MINUTES WAS PUT UP ON THE TWF TRON AS TIRPAK RIPPED INTO RAMSLEY WITH THE KENDO STICK, RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK. TIRPAK THEN DECIDED TO RIP RAMSLEY's SHIRT RIGHT OFF HIM BEFORE BLASTING HIM AGAIN. THE CROWD LET OUT CHEERS AS THEY WERE CLEARLY ENJOYING THE BEATING. AS IT CONTINUED, TROY GAFGEN CAME RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK. BUT LIKE HE HAD EYES IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, TIRPAK TURNED AND CROWNED GAFGEN RIGHT OVER THE HEAD.

Lawler: "Aghhhhhh! He still has to compete tonight"!

J.R.: "Ramsley is getting his just desserts and this place loves it"!

TIRPAK SMASHED RAMSLEY ONE MORE TIME ACROSS THE HEAD AND RAMSLEY WAS OUT, HANGING ONLY BY HIS HANDCUFFED WRIST. THE CLOCK STILL HAD ALMOST 3 MINUTES ON IT BUT TIRPAK DROPPED THE WEAPON AND JUST LAUGHED IN RAMSLEY's DIRECTION. HE THEN LAID THE KEY FOR THE HANDCUFFS ON THE MAT, JUST OUT OF RAMSLEY's REACH, BEFORE LEAVING THE RING AS "KILL YOU" PLAYED AGAIN.

Lawler: "I don't know if we have..... no I'm positive that we have never seen anything like this"!

J.R.: "A very brutal night for Richard Ramsley but one that may be the most satisfying in the career of Chris Tirpak".

Lawler: "I'm..... I'm just speechless".

AFTER TIRPAK WENT TO THE BACK, GAFGEN GOT UP AND USED THE KEY TO UNHOOK RAMSLEY.

J.R.: "We might need medical help out here for Ramsley".

Lawler: "Can you imagine what Ramsley's response is gonna be to this"?

BACKSTAGE AREA......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TWF HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES MASAHIRO CHONO AND THE GREAT MUTA, BOTH DRESSED IN VERY NICE SUITS, LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME IN CATERING. AT THAT TIME, DOLPH ZIGGLER COMES UP.

Dolph Ziggler: "Oh great, more "legends" to take my time. What are you guys doing here, huh?! Huh"?!

ZIGGLER THEN TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO A PICTURE OF UMAGA. HE LEERS AT THE PICTURE FOR A MOMENT, WHEN HE SENSES SOMEONE STANDING BEHIND HIM. HE TURNS TO SEE JIMMY AND JEY USO.

Jey Uso: "Go ahead, say it... give us a reason, dawg".

Dolph Ziggler: "Psshh..... I have a WrestleMania Jackpot match to go and get ready for and you guys...... well you guys can sit back here with these old timers all night, cause we know you don't have anything else to do".

ZIGGLER WALKS AWAY.

"RUN TO THE HILLS" BY IRON MAIDEN STARTS UP AND TROY GAFGEN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, LOOKING AT SEVERAL LADDERS STREWN ABOUT RINGSIDE AND IN THE AISLE.

J.R.: "What an arrogant jackass that Dolph Ziggler is".

Lawler: "He really feels like this will be his night though, J.R., right here in the WrestleMania Jackpot"!

J.R.: "Troy Gafgen is now wearing a bandage on his forehead as he was apparently cut open by the kendo stick shot he took trying to rescue his mentor, Richard Ramsley, moments ago".

"LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET COMES ON AND MATT HARDY COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

Lawler: "I know a lot of people have probably already written Gafgen off because of that, J.R., but I think it will give him some extra motivation in this match".

J.R.: "There must be nine or ten ladders out here and one briefcase hanging above the ring which will be like the equivalent of hitting the Powerball, to go up and pull it down, King".

Lawler: "You gotta like a guy like Matt Hardy's chances".

"BROKEN DREAMS" COMES ON AND DREW McINTYRE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Hudson: "J.R., you and the King have done a great job of calling this huge event, but there are some PrimeTime guys in this Jackpot match..... so I hope you don't mind if the Honky Tonk Man and I get involved here".

J.R.: "Not at all".

Lawler: "Well, I do kinda mind the Honky Tonk Man".

J.R.: "Why don't you tell us a little bit about this guy".

Hudson: "Well.........

HTM: "I'll handle that one...... Drew McIntyre is, in my opinion, the best young guy in the entire TWF. I would not be surprised at all to see him win this match and become champion by the end of 2010"!

THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM COMES ON AND ROB STORM COMES OUT TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS, PROBABLY THE LOUDEST OF THE NIGHT TO THIS POINT.

J.R.: "Very high praise there Honky Tonk, but here is a guy I don't think myself or The King here, could find anything good to say about".

Lawler: "This guy has used Rampage as a sounding board to voice his frustration, basically over the way he is handled, and tonight is a perfect opportunity to show everyone how held back he has been".

J.R.: "He thinks he's on the level of a Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels..... all you have to do is ask him".

"WAITING TO DIE" HY HED PLAYED AND SHANE THOMPSON CAME OUT. HE WALKED RIGHT UNDERNEATH ONE OF THE LADDERS IN THE AISLE.

Lawler: "Obviously Shane Thompson isn't very superstitious".

Honky Tonk Man: "Obviously you don't pay much attention to what Thompson can do, Lawler..... he may even be the favorite in this match".

"I AM PERFECTION" IS HEARD AND DOLPH ZIGGLER COMES OUT, ALSO RECEIVING NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "Well here comes the guy that we just saw disrespect this year's Hall of Fame class, which certainly won't endear him to the fans here in Texas.... oh wait a minute, they're getting started early"!

AS ZIGGLER MADE HIS WAY TO THE RING, THOMPSON AND HARDY BEGAN TO GO AT IT AS GAFGEN WENT OUTSIDE THE RING AND GRABBED A LADDER.

WrestleMania Jackpot

Troy Gafgen vs. Matt Hardy vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Rob Storm vs. Shane Thompson vs. Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler saw Gafgen going for the ladder and he came from behind with an attack. In the ring, Hardy and Thompson traded shots while McIntyre and Storm stood and watched. McIntyre and Storm then worked together and went after Hardy, the only man in the match the crowd was behind. Outside the ring, Ziggler tried to send Gafgen into the ring steps but Gafgen reversed it and shot him in. Ziggler hit the steel stairs hard and the crowd loved it. Gafgen then grabbed the ladder he had earlier and slid it into the ring. But as he got in, Storm ran in and kicked him right in the head. Storm then grabbed the ladder and pull it in his direction but Hardy fought off McIntyre and Thompson and after backdropping Thompson out of the ring, he charged in at Storm but Storm used the ladder as a shield and Hardy hit it chest first. On the outside, Thompson got up and grabbed another ladder, laying it horizontally across the ring apron and ringside barricade, almost like a bridge. In the ring, Storm set up the ladder but before he could climb it, Gafgen came over and the two began to brawl. Gafgen got the best of it and smashed Storm face first into the ladder but Ziggler came from behind with a lowblow on Gafgen. Storm was bleeding and Ziggler climbed 2 rungs of the ladder before grabbing Storm in a front facelock, looking for a tornado DDT. But when he went for it, Storm shot him across the ring. Ziggler landed on his feet only to be superkicked by 'Canada's Favorite Son'. Thompson got back into the ring after introducing another ladder, which he stood up in the corner of the ring. On the outside, Hardy positioned a ladder in the aisle and then grabbed the foot of Gafgen, pulling him outside the ring. Gafgen got in a low blow on Hardy though and threw him head first into the steel section of barricade in the aisle. Hardy hit hard and immediately grabbed his head. Cameras showed Matt was bleeding, and badly. Gafgen grabbed him and looked like he was setting up for his powerbomb, but Matt countered with a backdrop. Hardy then grabbed Gafgen and hit the "Twist of Fate", right on the floor. Inside the ring, McIntyre battled with Thompson as Storm recovered. Ziggler, still feeling the effects of Storm's superkick, leveled Storm with a right hand but Storm ducked a clothesline and drilled him with another superkick, this one knocking him over the top rope and out of the ring. Thompson grabbed McIntyre by the hair and flung him into the ladder in the corner. He then jumped on the ladder, on top of McIntyre but McIntyre was able to throw Thompson over his head and Thompson hit the ladder face first. Storm was making his way up the ladder and was just inches from the briefcase when McIntyre went over and pushed him off the ladder. Storm took a long, nasty fall, just missing the bridged ladder. But he hit the floor very hard, right next to Ziggler, who got Storm up and delivered the "Zig Zag" right onto that ladder. Most of the fans didn't even see that, because they were looking at Hardy climb the extra tall ladder in the aisle after laying Gafgen across a table he had set up. Hardy got to the top of the ladder and held up his famous "V1" sign before leaping off with a legdrop! But Gafgen got out of the way and Hardy exploded into the table, leaving nothing but a pile of wood! "HOLY SHIT" chants broke out but in the ring, Ziggler was more than halfway up the ladder without anyone in the vacinity. Ziggler slowly made his way up and actually got his fingertips on the briefcase when McIntyre again came over and shoved the ladder, knocking Ziggler to the mat. McIntyre then moved in and hit Ziggler with the "Future Shock" DDT. When he turned around, Thompson was right there, still fighting, even with a face full of blood. In fact, at this point, McIntyre was the only guy not bleeding. That didn't last long as Thompson began to overwhelm McIntyre before reaching into his boot and pulling out a small chain. Completely legal, Thompson popped McIntyre in the head and then got down, smashing him 3 more times with the chain and eventually bloodying him. Thompson then turned his attention to the briefcase, setting up a ladder. But before he could even begin to climb it, Gafgen came into the ring and erased him with a tackle. Ziggler got up, wobbly, and walked into a kick to the abdomen from Gafgen who then picked him up and delivered a helicopter style powerbomb. Ziggler was out and it looked like nothing could stop Gafgen. He positioned a ladder right under the briefcase. He began to climb up and got to the second to last rung when he looked down to see none other than Matt Hardy, entering the ring. Gafgen tried to prevent being pushed off the ladder by jumping off. But Hardy moved out of the way and then kicked Gafgen before hitting another Twist of Fate. The crowd came to their feet, screaming their heads off as they could see nothing could stop Hardy. His face bloody, his body beaten, Hardy ascended the ladder and unhooked the briefcase, clutching it with both hands as the crowd went completely wild.

Match Time: 17:19

Hudson: "Matt Hardy has achieved the equivalent of the TWF lottery! He now holds a guaranteed contract for a Universal or World title shot"!

J.R.: "An unbelievable performance, especially after that fall through the table where I know we all counted him out"!

"LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" PLAYED AS HARDY HELD ONTO THE BRIEFCASE, ABSORBING THE TREMENDOUS CHEERS FROM THE CROWD.

Lawler: "It's hard to say this guy doesn't deserve it..... one of the longest tenured TWF superstars finally has his chance to be the top dog"!

HTM: "As much as I'd like to disagree, I can't. A WrestleMania moment for the ages here"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, GINA CARANO IS WITH TODD GRISHAM. SHE IS WEARING THE OUTFIT SHE WORE ON AMERICAN GLADIATORS AND HAS THE WOMEN's TITLE OVER HER SHOULDER.

Todd Grisham: "Gina, tonight is without a doubt the biggest match of your TWF career as you will defend that Women's title against the former champ, Monica. Not only that, but she has none other than Cyborg Santos in her corner".

Gina Carano: "Which is fine.... I'm not sweatin' either one of them and it will be personally gratifying for me to retain this title, in front of over seventy thousand people, with Cristiane Santos watching".

Todd Grisham: "Thanks, Gina, good luck out there tonight".

Howard Finkel: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome TWF Hall of Famer...... Weapon R"!

WEAPON R STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WEARING A NICE BLACK SUIT BUT HE HAS ON HIS RED MASK THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS.

Hudson: "It is time to crown the winner of the Lightheavyweight title tournament and what better man to do so than Weapon R, easily the best lightheavyweight competitor the TWF has ever seen".

THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE SITTING INSIDE A GLASS CASE AT RINGSIDE.

HTM: "Tonight will truly be the don of a new era in Lightheavyweight action here in the TWF".

THE SOUND OF BEATING DRUMS IS HEARD AND SILVER WOLF COMES TO THE RING WEARING A VERY BEAUTIFUL NATIVE AMERICAN HEADDRESS. HE IS EMOTIONLESS AS HE APPROACHES THE RING.

Hudson: "It's funny that you say that because this man, even though we haven't known him long, seems to embody that new style.... just a tough, rugged guy is this Silver Wolf".

HTM: "He's a man of few words, one who let's his actions speak for him and so far.... he's done a good job of that".

THE ARENA LIGHTS GO DIM AND SEVERAL GREEN FLASHES STREAK ACROSS THE STADIUM BEFORE AN EERIE TUNE PLAYS AND REPTILE RISES UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE RAMP WITH HIS HANDS CLASPED. HE THEN MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING, VERY SLOWLY.

Hudson: "Well for the little we know about Silver Wolf, it seems like a novel compared to what we know about this guy".

HTM: "A lot of people are saying he's nothing more than a video game character, Scott, but I have watched all of his matches in this tournament and to me, he's been the most impressive".

Hudson: "One of these men will become the new Lightheavyweight champion but the other..... well we don't even know if we'll ever see him again".

HTM: "I think Silver Wolf is the more physical of the two, but Reptile is definitely the more technical and he has a few submission holds that Silver Wolf will have to steer clear of".

TWF Lightheavyweight Title Tournament Finals

Silver Wolf vs. Reptile

As the bell sounded to get things underway, Reptile jumped into a martial arts stance and Silver Wolf was very careful about engaging with him. Finally, Reptile threw a kick that landed against the upper left thigh of Silver Wolf but when he kicked with the other leg, Silver Wolf caught the leg and used a back footsweep to set up an early pin attempt. He only got a 1 count but he was able to get the advantage when they got back to their feet. After a big scoop slam, Silver Wolf landed an elbow drop before going for another cover, but Reptile again pushed him off after just a 1 count from referee Marty Elias. He then pulled Reptile up and delivered a spinning backhand right to the temple before hitting a huge kneelift. After a snap suplex, Silver Wolf went to the apron and waited for Reptile to regain his footing. When the green and black clad ninja got up, he used the ropes to fly in with a clothesline but Reptile delivered a vicious kick right to the midsection. After a thrust chop to the throat, he connected with a jumping calf kick to the back of the head. For the first time, maybe in the entire tournament, Silver Wolf was in trouble, facing a lot of adversity. Reptile sat Silver Wolf up and locked in a nerve hold, right on the trapezius area. Silver Wolf was in some pain, but also for the first time in the tournament, the crowd seemed to be behind him. Silver Wolf worked his way back to his feet and delivered 2 elbows in midsection but when he tried to break completely free, Reptile snapped him back down to the mat, banging the back of his head against it. He then locked in an Anaconda Vise and Silver Wolf was in a world of trouble. There was no escape, other than to get his foot to the rope which, after a tense struggle, he was able to do. Elias forced Reptile to break the hold and he did, measuring Silver Wolf and waiting for him to get back up. Silver Wolf got to his feet and Reptile drilled him with a savate kick. He made the cover, hooking the leg but still couldn't put him away. He ran the ropes but Silver Wolf got back to his feet and caught him with an incredible powerslam into a cover for the 1..........2........., but Reptile was up. Both men were feeling the affects of the abuse they'd taken but as they got to their feet, Reptile blocked a right hand and kicked Silver Wolf right in the chin with a punting motion before running to the corner where he came off with a reverse crossbody. But Silver Wolf came up with a great counter, falling into a gutbuster as he pulled Reptile down into his knees. Reptile was doubled over in pain as Silver Wolf got up and let out a very primal scream, pulling Reptile up and slapping both hands across his throat. He lifted him up and just threw him into the mat, going into the cover where he hooked the leg and waited for Elias to pound the mat 3 times, crowning a new champion.

Match Time: 7:07

Hudson: "What a win for Silver Wolf! He has etched his name in TWF history with a great win here in Houston"!

HTM: "It's hard to argue what Silver Wolf has done in this tournament and he is definitely the most deserving winner"!

Hudson: "Here comes Weapon R to make the presentation".

AFTER TAKING THE TITLE BELT OUT OF THE DISPLAY CASE, WEAPON R ENTERED THE RING WITH IT AND HANDED IT TO SILVER WOLF BEFORE RAISING HIS HAND IN VICTORY. HIS MUSIC THEN PLAYED AS HE LEFT THE RING TO A DECENT CHEER.

Hudson: "Silver Wolf is now the king of the Lightheavyweight division"!

HTM: "But look, look at Reptile"!

AFTER SILVER WOLF LEFT THE RING, REPTILE STOOD ACROSS FROM WEAPON R, INCHING CLOSER. SUDDENLY, WEAPON R BLASTED REPTILE WITH A SUPERKICK THAT KNOCKED HIM STIFF! THE CROWD WENT NUTS AT THIS.

Hudson: "Wow.... the Hall of Famer's still got it"!

HTM: "A memorable night for Silver Wolf, but a very forgettable one for Reptile"!

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING BY WITH SEBASTIAN CAIN.

Todd Grisham: "Todd Grisham here, standing by with one of the challengers for the King of Cable Championship here tonight, Sebastian Cain".

CAMERA PANS OUT SO SHOW A VERY FOCUSED SEBASTIAN CAIN STARING STRAIGHT AHEAD.

Todd Grisham: "Now Sebastian, you have an opportunity to regain the King of Cable Championship here tonight in a triple threat match against your friend, Muhammad Hassan and The King of Cable, a man you've never pinned, Sheamus".

Sebastian Cain: "Look, I'm well aware of what I'm walking into tonight. Sheamus is a force here in the TWF like I've never seen before. This is a man who came in and beat me, and not just once either. Sheamus is a man looking to make an impact and up until tonight, he's been successful. But I didn't hold that King of Cable title over a year for nothing. Tonight, I bounce back and take back the King of Cable Championship. And I'm going to do whatever is necessary to get it done"!

THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND WHERE JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN SHADOWBOXING. HE HAS A "PAIN SYNDICATE" T-SHIRT ON WHEN LENA YADA APPROACHES.

Lena Yada: "Excuse me, Jordan, I was wondering if I could get your comments on the match tonight with Matt Morgan"?

ROCKWELL STOPS AND TURNS AROUND.

Jordan Rockwell: "Lena, did you know that Matt Morgan is a fast runner"?

Lena shakes her head........

Oh yeah cause after PrimeTime, he went crying like a bitch to Shane McMahon because he got a scratch and a smack to the head and to be honest, Matt, I don't know why you're crying cause for one, in the immortal words of Tom Hanks, there's no crying in wrestling! And for two, all I did was give you a little smack to the head and it is not like you need to worry about brain damage considering it looks like you've had it since birth! Besides, I told you, didn't I? Oh yeah, I told you that when it comes to the Pain Syndicate it's kill or be killed and I told you that I refuse to lay down and die which basically means that for you big man, it's just get killed, cause tonight we in the Pain Syndicate have plans, oh yes, we have plans so that smack to the head and that scratch to your nose was nothing compared to what you get here tonight because tonight, I'm going to give the TWF board of directors exactly what it is they want and I'm going to give you, Matt Morgan, exactly what you want.... cause tonight, you get made"!

Rockwell goes to walk away but Lena stops him.

Lena Yada: "Before you go, could you please tell us all what those papers were that you received on PrimeTime"?

Jordan Rockwell: "It wasn't papers...... it was a picture of that logo you saw on Rampage.... The Empire..... like some sort of threat. Think I'm scared? Try me.........

WITH THAT, ROCKWELL TURNS AND WALKS AWAY.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE FAMILIAR ARABIC CHANT THAT LEADS INTO MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE STEPS OUT, HOLDING HIS HANDS OUTWARD AND LOOKING UP BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH A CONFIDENT SMILE ABOUT HIM.

J.R.: "Jordan Rockwell looks ready for Matt Morgan in one of our showcase matches tonight, but right now, a triple threat for the King of Cable title which many people are looking at like a handicap match, King".

Lawler: "Yes they are, and it's a very unfair situation for the champion, Sheamus, but only one man can win the title".

J.R.: "Muhammad Hassan, who has been something of a changed man recently in the TWF, or so he says, has never held TWF gold".

Lawler: "You're still not buying into him, are ya, J.R.? Remember how much we used to despise this guy"?

J.R.: "Well I don't think I ever stopped. I suppose I don't despise him anymore, but you're right, I'm still not buying into his act".

"BLACK" BY SEVENDUST COMES ON AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT TO A HUGE REACTION.

Lawler: "Well we heard Sebastian Cain's take on this match earlier tonight, he did say he he'd do whatever it takes to win. Do you think that includes siding with Hassan to overtake Sheamus"?

J.R.: "Well Cain seems to be as tentative as I am towards Hassan, but Sheamus has been a huge thorn in the side of the former King of Cable so I'd say yes, definitely".

CAIN AND HASSAN SEEM TO BE ON THE SAME SIDE AS CAIN ENTERS THE RING. THEY STAND SIDE BY SIDE, WAITING FOR THE CHAMPION. HIS MUSIC HITS AND SHEAMUS COMES OUT WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST.

Lawler: "And here comes the champion.... what a champion he has been".

J.R.: "The man who ended the over year long title reign of Sebastian Cain and Cain has been counting down the days to this one because in my opinion, he never really got a rematch".

Lawler: "But don't forget about Muhammad Hassan. If Hassan wins this match, do you think Cain will be happy for his friend"?

J.R.: "Well I'm still not convinced that they're friends, but if the choice for Cain is between Sheamus and Hassan...... I guess he'd say Hassan".

Triple Threat/TWF King of Cable Title Match

Muhammad Hassan vs. Sebastian Cain vs. (c) Sheamus

The bell sounded and as expected, Hassan and Cain teamed up against the Celtic Warrior, cornering him and then throwing kicks and punches his way. Sheamus did his best to fight them off, but Cain landed a heavy right hand that stunned Sheamus and allowed Hassan to move in so he and Cain could bring him out of the corner with a double hip toss. When he got up, Hassan grabbed him for an STO but Sheamus elbowed his way out of it only to have Cain fly across the ring with a back elbow that took him out. Cain went into a cover but after only a 1 count, Hassan grabbed one of his feet and pulled him off. Cain and Hassan then stood face to face, trying to explain themselves as the crowd grew very intense. Sheamus got to his feet but was met with a right hand from both men. They then whipped him across the ring but Sheamus came back with a double clothesline. He then picked Cain up and muscled him up over his head, throwing him to the outside of the ring. Cain hit the floor very hard and seemed to be in a considerable amount of pain. Sheamus was then able to focus on Hassan. After picking him up for a sidewalk slam, Sheamus bounced off the ropes and delivered a heavy elbow drop. He then got up and beat his own chest as the crowd booed, yelling "I am the champion"! Sheamus pulled Hassan up again and whipped him to the corner. Hassan moved out of the way of the oncoming champion and went for a backcracker. But Sheamus held the ropes in the corner to block it before picking Hassan up and delivering a Canadian backbreaker. Hassan was in trouble, but was able to kick out at about 2 and half when Sheamus went for the cover. Sheamus continued to pummel one of his challengers as Cain slowly got to his feet outside the ring, holding his right arm. In the ring, Sheamus ran Hassan over with a clothesline. He went for a cover again, but again only got a 2 count. Sheamus went over and kicked Cain in the side of the head as he tried to get back into the ring, knocking him to the floor again. Hassan tried to come from behind, but Sheamus met him with a kick to the midsection before pulling Hassan in, looking for his powerbomb, Pale Justice. But as he got Hassan up over his head, Cain was able to reach in and grab his right foot. This allowed Hassan to get free and Cain was able to trip Sheamus up and pull him outside the ring. He then dropped him with a right hand but when he got back in the ring, Hassan schoolboyed him to get a 1..........2..........., but Cain pushed out. Again, Cain was not happy with Hassan's actions as they jawed back and forth. Meanwhile, Sheamus got back into the ring. Hassan and Cain quickly turned and they each grabbed him by the head, looking for a double suplex. But Sheamus blocked it and backdropped Hassan out of the ring. Cain then ran in and nailed Sheamus with a right hand before picking him up for an inverted atomic drop. But after hitting the ropes, Cain was blasted by the Brogue Kick and Sheamus fell into the cover as referee Scott Martin issued the 1............2...................3!

Match Time: 9:09

SHEAMUS GRABBED THE TITLE AND FLUNG IT OVER HIS SHOULDER AS MARTIN RAISED HIS ARM IN VICTORY. HE LEFT THE RING WHILE HIS MUSIC PLAYED.

J.R.: "Sheamus has done it again! Two men, both virtually against him and him only, can not overcome the Celtic Warrior here at WrestleMania"!

Lawler: "Oh boy...... take a look at this".

WITH SHEAMUS GONE AND HIS MUSIC OFF, HASSAN GOT BACK INTO THE RING, STANDING OVER CAIN. THE FANS STARTED TO BOO AS HE LOOKED DOWN ON CAIN WITH ANGER. HE PULLED HIM UP AND DELIVERED HIS REVERSE STO.

J.R.: "Oh what the hell! This is exactly what I was talking about"!

HASSAN THEN LOCKED IN A CAMEL CLUTCH, INCAPACITATING CAIN BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE THE RING AND TAKING A CAMERA OFF THE SHOULDER OF ONE OF THE RINGSIDE CAMERAMEN.

Lawler: "Oh no.... what now"?!

HASSAN CAME IN THE RING AND WAITED FOR CAIN TO GET UP. WHEN HE DID, HE SMASHED HIM RIGHT OVER THE HEAD WITH THE CAMERA, WATCHING IT BREAK INTO SEVERAL PIECES.

Lawler: "That's a three thousand dollar camera"!

J.R.: "Who gives a damn about that! Muhammad Hassan has gone against his words! He's got against everything he's said and he's still the same son of a bitch that he always was"!

AS THE CROWD BOOED VERY ANGRILY, HASSAN LEFT THE RING WITH CAIN A VERY BEATEN MAN.

Lawler: "Maybe he blames Cain for costing him a chance to be King of Cable"?!

J.R.: "That's not it.... that's not it at all! I think this was Hassan's plan all along! And for what?! Actually, the better question.... is anyone really surprised"?!

PARKING AREA.......

CAMERAS IN THE PARKING LOT SHOW A HEARSE VERY SLOWLY PULL IN AND COME TO A STOP IN A "NO PARKING" ZONE.

Troy Gafgen is shown walking back to the locker room. He looks battered, and sore from his match. Suddenly, a member of the backstage crew runs up to him, in a panic.

Crewman: "M-Mr. Gafgen! We need you in the paramedic's room, NOW"!

Troy Gafgen: "Chill out, you idiot, I'm fine...

Troy pushes him out of his way, and continues walking.

Crewman: "No, Mr. Gafgen, it's.... it's Ramsley"!

Troy instantly stops, turns to the Crewman, and nods. Instantly, the Crewman begins to run towards the Paramedic's room and Troy follows close behind.

Troy and panicked Crewman reach the Paramedic's room, as the Paramedic crew and several trainers are all standing outside the shut door. All that can be heard coming from the room are random screams of anger and pain, with the occasional outbursts of "BRING ME TROY!"

Paramedic: "Mr. Gafgen, we were working on treating his gashes, and when he woke up, he.... he just went crazy! One of our guys had to be sent away by ambulance after he.... well, he managed to get a hold of a scalpel".

Troy just sighs and shakes his head as he begins to walk towards to door. Another Paramedic grabs his shoulder but Troy just shrugs him off.

Troy Gafgen: "Listen, Ramsley's.... not all there, but I understand him better than anyone else and if he's calling for me, he wants to see me".

Paramedic: "How can you be sure he doesn't want to...

Troy Gafgen: "Like I said, I KNOW Ramsley. If he wanted to try and take me out, he wouldn't be throwing his little tantrum right now, he'd be hunting me down in the hallways. Now listen, if you guys want this on camera, I suggest you stick close to the door, and try to make sure he doesn't see you".

Troy opens the door and walks in. The cameraman slowly creeps in behind him and peeks in. The inside of the room looks like the set of a horror film. It's absolutely trashed, with chairs and medical equipment thrown everywhere. The walls and floor are covered with Ramsley's own blood. The cameraman focuses in on Ramsley. His body is covered in bloody gashes and blood is still slowly flowing from his forehead. As soon as Ramsley sees Troy, his yelling stops. He quickly rushes over to Troy and slams him against a wall.

Troy Gafgen: "Whoa, WHOA, calm down, Ramsley"!

Richard Ramsley:... "I'm done....I'M DONE, TROY"!

Troy Gafgen: "Okay, I get that, but you're not like this, Richie, you've shown me that... just.... tell me, what are we going to do about this"?

Ramsley releases his grip on Troy and sits down on the Paramedic's table. He nods his head slowly.

Richard Ramsley:.... "Nothing".

Troy Gafgen: "What do you mean, nothing? You're just going to take all this"?

Richard Ramsley: "Of course I'm not... we're going to wait and watch. When the dust has cleared, we'll move accordingly".

Troy Gafgen: "So... what do you need me to do"?

Richard Ramsley: "Go... watch the rest of the show. Let me know what happens. I need... I need to get myself patched up, and rest...

Gafgen nods and turns to leave.

Richard Ramsley: "One more thing, Troy...t hat camera guy has about two seconds to get the Hell out of my sight, before I break the thing over his head".

Quickly, the camera darts out of the room. A few seconds later, Troy exits the room.

Troy Gafgen: "He's ready for you guys to fix him up, but I wouldn't bring that camera in there if I were you".

The Paramedics cautiously enter the room.......

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND THE SECOND CITY SAINTS COME OUT TO A MOSTLY NEGATIVE REACTION, BUT SOME CHEERS CAN BE HEARD.

Hudson: "Wow, note to the backstage guys.... leave Richard Ramsley be".

SHOWN ON CAMERA IS ZZ TOP, GEORGE FOREMAN AND CARL CRAWFORD OF THE TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS, A HOUSTON NATIVE.

HTM: "The celebrities are out here at WrestleMania, Scott.... what a spectacle"!

THE CAMERA THEN GETS A SHOT OF ACTORS MARK HAMILL AND CARRIE FISHER SITTING FRONT ROW.

Hudson: "Wow..... is that..... that's Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia"!

AN ENGINE REVS UP AND "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST FOLLOWS AS DAMION WEST COMES OUT FROM THE BACK TO A BIG CHEER. HE HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

HTM: "You mean, I used to have a crush on.... her? (Honky Tonk Man makes a spitting noise)

Hudson: "Well it's now time for tag team title action here at WrestleMania and aside from winning the titles from the United Nations, Damion West and Chaos Wolf have not made the best team".

HTM: "Well for one, I don't think they wanted to be a team, Shane McMahon just threw them together. They still come out separately for cryin' out loud".

"REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR COMES ON AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT WITH A SHIRT THAT PORTRAYS A FICTIONAL, WOLF-LIKE BEAST. ON THE BACK, THE WORDS "LONE WOLF" ARE SHOWN PROMINENTLY. CHAOS WOLF HAS A MICROPHONE IN HAND AND HE IS CARRYING HIS TAG TEAM TITLE.

Chaos Wolf: "Cut the music!

HIS SONG STOPS PLAYING

I'm not coming out here tonight pretending everything is all fine and dandy with this guy, Damion West. I mean, to this day, he still accuses me of doing something I did not do! Because I like CM Punk and his partner Christy Cabana about as much as I do a migraine headache, I'll compete tonight! But next week, the first thing I'm doing is petitioning Shane McMahon for a new tag team partner"!

Hudson: "What.... can he do that"?!

HTM: "Sounds like me when I had to team with that bum Greg Valentine. I would've loved a different partner".

Hudson: "What in the world are you talking about"?

TWF Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: The Second City Saints vs. Chaos Wolf and Damion West

Wolf and West exchanged some words before West decided to start the match against Cabana. West was able to grab him in a standing side headlock. Cabana pushed him to the ropes and shot him to the other side. He then went for a leapfrog but West leaped at him and smashed him with a flying forearm, knocking him right out of the air, one of the more impressive moves of the night. West then hit the ropes but Punk caught him with a knee to the upper back. As Punk laughed at his work, West turned and drilled him with an overhand right. He then took out Cabana with a dropkick before slapping the hand of his partner Chaos Wolf. Wolf came into the ring but right when he did, West spun him around and crushed him with the "Head on Collision"! The fans were in shock as West jumped off the apron and began to walk away from the ring. Bewildered, Punk made the tag from Cabana and got into the ring, hitting Wolf with the "GTS" and covering him, hooking the leg for the victory.

Match Time: 2:26

Hudson: "Uh..... I don't even know what to say here, but we have new tag team champions"!

HTM: "Yes we do, Hudson.... and Chaos Wolf can forget about that petition for a new partner.... it doesn't matter now"!

Hudson: "Damion West has just sacrificed being one half of the tag team champions in order.... in order apparently to get away from his partner! Wow"!

"THIS FIRE BURNS" PLAYED AS PUNK AND CABANA CELEBRATED WITH THE BELTS IN THE RING. WEST GOT TO THE TOP OF THE RAMP AND LOOKED BACK AT THE RING, JUST SHAKING HIS HEAD.

HTM: "But let's not take anything away from the Second City Saints, they have beaten this team numerous times and now.... when it counted most"!

Hudson: "The reign of the Saints is underway but the situation between Damion West and Chaos Wolf is..... strange to say the least"!

PARKING AREA......

THE CAMERA GOES BACK TO WHERE THE HEARSE PULLED UP AND THE DRIVER's DOOR OPENS. OUT STEPS, TO A BIT OF A SURPRISE, CHRIS JERICHO. HE IS WEARING A "Y2J" T-SHIRT AND HIS WRESTLING TRUNKS. JERICHO STARTS WALKING TO THE BUILDING WHEN LENA YADA COMES RUNNING UP.

Lena Yada: "Chris...... this isn't......

Chris Jericho: "What you were expecting? Yeah, I'm sure. But get used to it.... because no one expects me to defeat The Undertaker tonight either, if he even shows up, that is".

Lena Yada: "What do you mean by that"?

Chris Jericho: "When was the last time you saw him? He hasn't been to any of the shows and despite several challenges from me to him, calling him out by getting into his head with his own games.... nothing. I have a feeling that even if he is here tonight..... he'll wish he stayed away".

Lena Yada: "Okay, but what's the hearse for"?

JERICHO JUST GETS A SLY GRIN ON HIS FACE AND WALKS AWAY.

BACK INSIDE

THE SHOT GOES TO THE LOCKER ROOM OF MATT CRUZ, WHERE HE AND MARIA ARE SITTING DOWN HAVING A CONVERSATION WHEN, TO THE SIDE OF THE SHOT, A VOICE STARTLES THEM.

The Voice: "Well, look what we have here".

CRUZ JUMPS UP AND MARIA GETS BEHIND HIM AND PEERS AROUND AS JACK SWAGGER ENTERS THE SHOT.

Jack Swagger: "The number one contender and his lady. Wish you luck tonight, Cruz. You're gonna need it against Orton. Whether you deserve it or not, and I say not, this is the biggest night of your life. Just don't choke like the Longhorns did against Alabama this past February! (the crowd boos loudly, while Cruz and Maria look at each other and roll their eyes.) I guess it's one of the few things in life you can count on, a Sooner (pointing to himself) beating a Longhorn (pointing to Cruz) and a Longhorn choking when a championship is on the line"!

THE CROWD IS STILL BOOING LOUDLY, WHILE CRUZ MASSAGES HIS TEMPLE, CLEARLY ANNOYED.

Matt Cruz: "Ya know something, you lisping goof, I'm not in the mood, but I'll do you a favor by not taking your bottom lip and stretching it over you head. Even still, I'd watch that kind of talk around here".

Jack Swagger: "Pffft! Like I'm afraid of anyone from this state".

Matt Cruz: (chuckling) "That's not very smart, homey. What could I expect from a Sooner, though. (looks at the camera) No offense, JR. (looking back at Swagger)Yeah, you've beaten me, but the Red River Rivalry is never decided by one match or game. Just ask these guys".

WITH THAT, 4 HUGE MEN ENTER THE SHOT RIGHT BEHIND SWAGGER. SWAGGER TURNS AROUND AND TURNS BONE WHITE AS HE RECOGNIZED THEM. THE CROWD ALSO RECOGNIZED A FEW OF THEM AND CHEERED WILDLY.

Cruz: Allow me to introduce you to a few buddies of mine. (he gestures to the first man) A second round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens, Sergio Kindle. (gesturing to the next one) Washington Redskins Defensive End Brian Orakpo, a legend around these parts, Quarterback of the Tennessee Titans, Vince Young, and the Houston Texans own, Offensive Lineman Kasey Studdard. All former Longhorns, in case I forgot to mention it".

THE INTIMIDATING ORAKPO STEPS CLOSELY TO SWAGGER, LOOKING VERY SERIOUS.

Brian Orakpo: "Yeah, and we don't take kindly to Sooners who run their mouths".

SWAGGER LOOKS NERVOUSLY AT THE FOUR MEN AS THEY MOVE IN CLOSER TO INTIMIDATE HIM.

Jack Swagger: "Yeah, I-I-I-I-I was just kidding. Good luck tonight, Matt".

SWAGGER GOES TO SHAKE CRUZ'S HAND, BUT CRUZ JUST STARES AT HIM INCREDULOUSLY. SWAGGER GOES TO LEAVE, BUT THE 4 NFL PLAYERS WOULD NOT LET HIM LEAVE INITIALLY. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THEY PART SO HE COULD LEAVE. CRUZ AND MARIA THEN SMILE AND GO TO SHAKE HANDS WITH THEM AND EXCHANGE PLEASANTRIES.

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" COMES ON AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET TO WITNESS THE ENTRANCE OF CHRIS JERICHO, WHO IS LOUDLY BOOED AS HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP TO THE RING.

HTM: "Here we go, Hudson... I can't wait for this one"!

Hudson: "With this being my first WrestleMania with the TWF, I can't imagine a bigger match than this one.... Chris Jericho against the deadman himself, The Undertaker"!

HTM: "And Chris Jericho has made the claim that The Undertaker will not even be here tonight"!

Hudson: "Do you really believe that? After all the crap that Jericho has pulled, do you really think The Undertaker won't show up tonight"?!

THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND A ROAR COMES OVER THE CROWD. SECONDS LATER...... A BELL TOLLS. THE CHEERS GROW LOUDER AS THE BELL GOES OFF AGAIN, LEADING INTO THE INFAMOUS SOUND OF THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC.

HTM: "Oh boy..... here he comes".

Hudson: "Of course he's gonna be here.... The Undertaker, on the grandest stage of them all, is ready to make Jericho pay for all the crap.... all the BS he's pulled in the weeks and months leading into this match"!

HTM: "Don't let him get into your head, Jericho! You have the advantage going in"!

Hudson: "Fans, don't be fooled. Despite his strange actions towards The Undertaker, almost death wish-like, inside Chris Jericho lies a man very capable of winning this match"!

HTM: "He doesn't want to just win this match, Hudson. Jericho wants to put an end to teh mystique.... to the darkness.... here at WrestleMania"!

THE UNDERTAKER STARTS TO CLIMB UP THE RING STEPS BEFORE RAISING HIS ARMS AS THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA COME ON.

Hudson: "Easier said than done.... look into the eyes of that man! Is this really what Jericho wants"?!

Chris Jericho vs. The Undertaker

After Undertaker removed his coat and hat, Jericho ran in but Taker was ready with a big right hand. He then whipped him to the ropes but when he put his head down a little soon, Jericho connected with a kick to he head. He then bounced off the ropes but went right into the clutches of the man from the darkside, who delivered a thunderous chokeslam. Undertaker made the cover and the crowd counted with referee Mike Enos, 1.............2................, but Jericho got a shoulder off the mat! Less than a minute into the match, Jericho was already in trouble. But he was able to recover quickly. Undertaker got him up and sent him into the corner but he missed with a clothesline and Jericho pulled him to the mat with a sleeper hold slam, a move that got him back into the match. Jericho then got up and stomped away at Undertaker before getting him to his feet and smashing his chest with knifedge afte knifedge, 12 in total. Jericho then ran into the corner and dropkicked Undertaker before going up to the top rope. He came off with a flying cross body but Undertaker caught him in mid air and slung him onto his shoulder, threatening to deliver the Tombstone. But Jericho wiggled out and actually countered into the exact same position, driving Undertaker into the mat with his own trademark move! The crowd was shocked as Jericho ridiculously grabbed the arms of Undertaker, crossing them over his chest. But he only got a 1 count before Undertaker pushed him off and sat up, a demonic look in his eyes. Jericho backed off as Undertaker got to his feet, stalking him around the ring. Jericho finally went for the knee, a move Undertaker didn't see coming. Jericho then went for an irish whip but Taker reversed it and this time, he pounded him with the clothesline in the corner. That led to the snake eyes and Undertaker ran across the ring, hitting the ropes.But as he drew closer, Jericho hit the "Codebreaker" out of nowhere! He quickly climbed over The Undertaker and hooked the leg for the 1..................2......................, but no, Undertaker was up, a deafening cheer shooting through the crowd. Jericho was shocked but he didn't let Undertaker rest, going for the "Walls of Jericho". But before he could turn him over, Undertaker used his strong legs to fling Jericho to the mat. He got up and popped Jericho with a right hand before shooting him to the ropes but he missed with a clothesline and Jericho delivered a very impressive backdrop suplex. Using the ropes as a springboard, Jericho went for the Lionsault but Undertaker got his knees up. Instead of hitting the knees, Jericho landed on his feet and grabbed Undertaker's legs, going again for his famous submission hold. Undertaker fought it with all he could and then, Jericho seemed to bend down a little too far, looking for more leverage. That allowed Taker to grab his head and after getting his legs free, he had the 'Hell's Gate' locked in in the center of the ring! Jericho tried to fight it, but he soon blacked out and Enos called for the bell.

Match Time: 13:45

Hudson: "Wow.... what a tremendous match.... and The Undertaker has emerged victorious"!

HTM: "Jericho's out cold"!

THE UNDERTAKER KNELT DOWN AND STRETCHED HIS ARM OUT AS THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND HIS MUSIC PLAYED. THE CROWD CHEERED AND APPLAUDED THE PERFORMANCE.

Hudson: "Jericho was all he said he would be, but on this night, in Houston, the deadman was just a little bit better"!

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS WITH JOHN CENA, WHO IS WEARING THE OFFICIAL WRESTLEMANIA 11 T-SHIRT AND HAT.

Lena Yada: "John, we are getting closer and closer to the huge Six Pack challenge tonight where we will crown a brand new Universal champion".

John Cena: "Well if you're gonna ask if I'm ready, I think you know the answer to that. Tonight, I have five opponents, five guys, some of which have been bitter enemies of mine, but five guys I respect none the less. But, as you probably know, I didn't come here happy to be part of the biggest show ever..... I came here to win".

WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE, CENA WALKS AWAY.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE COMES ON AND MONICA MAKES HER WAY OUT FROM THE BACK ALONGSIDE CRISTIANE "CYBORG" SANTOS. SHE IS BOOED BY MOST ALL THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE.

J.R.: "Well earlier tonight we saw Monica guide her team of The BoogeySaints to victory..... now will she be able to make it a clean sweep by regaining her Women's title"?

Lawler: "Well with Cyborg Santos in her corner, along with the fact she has never been beaten in singles action, it's hard to imagine she won't"!

"TEARS DON'T FALL" BY BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE PLAYS AND GINA CARANO COMES OUT TO AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE RESPONSE. SHE HAS THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST. BORN IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, GINA IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING ON THIS NIGHT. SEVERAL SIGNS IN SUPPORT OF THE WOMEN's CHAMPION ARE SHOWN.

J.R.: "My God listen to this place! The Women's champion is on her way to the ring and you'd think the Texans or the Cowboys just won the Super Bowl"!

Lawler: "I talked to Gina at the last Rampage and she told me her father used to play for the Dallas Cowboys.... how 'bout that"?

J.R.: "Well usually I'd think these ladies would tell you anything to get you to go away, King, that I do know to be true. But what a challenge for Gina Carano. Not only does she have to take on Monica, who has never been beaten in singles action... she has to do it with Cyborg Santos, the only person who has beaten her in her MMA career, in the opposite corner"!

BOOS FILL THE ARENA WHEN THE FANS SEE MONEY MIKE ON THE TWF TRON, SITTING IN A DRESSING ROOM, WEARING A T-SHIRT THAT SAYS "THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK".

Lawler: "Wait a minute..... Money Mike"!

Money Mike: "Hey there, Monica. You may have gotten by my boys in the tag team match earlier, but I told you I had something for you. Yes, I was able to get a special referee for this match...... so here ya go"!

"PRESSURE" BY PARAMORE PLAYS AND ALBA RIOS COMES OUT WITH A REFEREE SHIRT AND BLACK PANTS ON.

J.R.: "What the hell is this?! Alba Rios, of PrimeTime, officiating a Rampage match"!

Lawler: "Money Mike has done it again! How is he doing this"?!

J.R.: "Something is definitely up, King, we haven't seen Alba Rios since she suffered hat was believed to be a serious neck injury".

Lawler: "Monica does not look thrilled..... but Alba shouldn't have a beef with her"!

TWF Women's Title Match

Challenger: Monica w/ Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos vs. Gina Carano

Special Referee: Alba Rios

With the crowd buzzing, perhaps as much as they had all night, Alba called for the bell to start the match and the two divas locked up, battling for position. Monica was able to get that and she pushed Gina into the corner, but when she threw a punch Gina blocked it and landed a big forearm. After whipping Monica to the mat by her arm, Carano ran the ropes and went for a legdrop but she hit the mat hard when Monica rolled out of the way. Monica pulled her up and pushed her back into the corner, this time nailing Carano with 3 right hands in succession. She then came out of the corner and seemed to warn Alba about something, pointing a finger in her face. As this was going on, Santos tripped Gina up and she landed flat on her face. From there, Monica pulled her up and delivered a big gutwrench suplex. She went for the cover but Gina popped out at 2. Keeping the match at a pace she likes, Monica stomped away at the champion before driving her forearm into the back of the head. Monica got Gina up and threw her through the ring ropes and to the floor, on the side where Santos stood. But Alba refused to be distracted, instead keeping a close eye on what was going on outside the ring. This really irritated Monica as it seems her plans were being foiled. Monica went to the apron and jumped off but Gina got up and kicked her in the abdomen before grabbing her and throwing her right into Santos. Gina then got back in the ring and hit the ropes on the other side, going for a baseball slide into Monica. But she moved out of the way and instead pulled Gina to the mat by her feet, watching the back of her head slam off the floormat. Monica got her up and rolled her into the ring, going for another cover, but Gina was up at 2. Monica again got her to the corner and went to the middle turnbuckle, looking to pound away on the pretty face of the champion. Instead, Carano stepped forward and dropped Monica face first on the top turnbuckle pad. That led to a beautiful german suplex from the girl known as "Crush" and she got a 1.................2......................, but Monica got a shoulder up at the last possible second. Carano was in a groove now, wheeling Monica into the corner and punishing her challenger with seven or eight kicks to the liver area. After a snap mare, Carano delivered a somersault neckbreaker. This allowed her to make another cover, and get another 2 count. Both ladies were starting to feel the effects of the match as Carano pulled Monica up and hoisted her up to the top turnbuckle. She climbed up with her, a superplex in mind. But Santos came around and held the feet of Monica to keep her stationary and instead, it sent Gina falling backwards to the mat. Monica then got her bearings about her and flew off the top rope with a guillotine legdrop, right across the throat! She hooked Gina's near leg after making a cover but Carano kicked out at 2! Monica hit Gina with some more shots after getting her up before going got her DDT. But Carano grabbed her arm and swung out of it, going for a clothesline. When Monica ducked, she hit the DDT and drove the skull of the champion into the mat. She covered her again, this time failing to hook a leg, and the only thing that prevented a 3 count was Gina getting her left foot on the bottom rope. At this point, Monica got up in the face of Alba Rios and shoved her across the ring. Using her judgment, Rios did not respond physically. Instead, she watched as Carano got up and rolled Monica up from behind for a 1...................................2...................................., but no, Monica got out. After Carano connected with a clothesline, she seemed to complain of a slow count to Rios. Gina got Monica up on her shoulders but Monica raked her hands and fingers across her face to get free before smashing Carano in the back of the head. She then threw Carano over towards her corner and got in the face of Rios, again a ploy for Santos to get some licks in. When Rios tried to get around Monica, Monica slapped her across the face! This time, Rios responded physically, drilling Monica with a right hand that knocked her over towards Carano, who got up and belted her with a roundhouse kick to the head. Carano went into the cover after Monica slumped to the mat and hooked a leg as Rios issued a 3 count to allow Gina to retain the gold!

Match Time: 11:40

J.R.: "Oh what a match! Oh what a win"!

Lawler: "How can you say that, J.R.?! The referee helped her win"!

J.R.: "Oh don't say she wasn't provoked.... it was clear Monica was doing her best to get disqualified and I applaud Alba Rios for her decision not to give in"!

Lawler: "Money Mike may not have been able to get the Tag Team titles from The BoogeySaints.... but he made sure Monica didn't get her belt back either"!

SANTOS PULLED A FURIOUS MONICA AWAY FROM THE RING AS CARANO STOOD ON ONE OF THE TURNBUCKLE's, HOLDING UP THE WOMEN's TITLE AS "TEARS DON'T FALL" BLARED. SHE SEEMED OVERCOME WITH EMOTION AS A MASSIVE CHANT OF "GINA, GINA, GINA" CAME OVER RELIANT STADIUM.

J.R.: "Let's forget about all that right now, King..... this moment belongs to Gina Carano and she damn well deserves it"!

BACKSTAGE..... DRESSING ROOM......

Backstage, we see "The Show" Joe Corey sitting in his locker room. He is sitting in front of a tall mirror with a black towel over his head and he is talking to himself.

Joe Corey: "Tonight is your night. You have been here before. You have trained for this. All of the wins, all of the losses, they have all led you to this moment. No one can stop you now, not Ramplin, not Cena, not even Edge. He has been in front of you in this spot before, and he got the best of you. Not this time. You are one hundred percent healthy this time. You are a different man this time. You are a better man. No one can stop you. The only man who can stop you is yourself, and tonight, he is on your side.

Corey stands up and pulls the towel off his head. He grabs the mirror on both sides and gets very close to it.

This is your night! This is your time! You are a champion! I........ am a champion! I AM A CHAMPION"!

Corey stares intently into the mirror as the camera fades away.

THE SHOT GOES TO THE RING WHERE MATT MORGAN's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT TO A BLAZE OF BOOS, MAKING HIS WAY DOWN TO THE RING.

Hudson: "Joe Corey will be one of six men that will have a crack at winning the vacant Universal title later tonight but right now.... oh boy.... is this one gonna get serious".

HTM: "Uh oh, look at what Morgan found"!

SITTING IN THE CROWD WERE JORDAN ROCKWELL's WIFE LITA AND HIS MOTHER. MORGAN SAW THEM AND MADE HIS WAY OVER TO THEM. LITA STOOD IN FRONT OF ROCKWELL's MOTHER AND SEEMED TO BE ARGUING WITH MORGAN WHEN HE ACTED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO HIT HER, LAUGHING WHEN SHE NEARLY FELL BACKWARDS.

Hudson: "Wait a minute.... we've already seen Morgan get physical with Rockwell's family before! Get him away from them"!

MORGAN WALKS AWAY AND WALKS THE REST OF THE WAY TO THE RING. AT THAT TIME, SEVERAL U.S. TROOPS COME OUT, MARCHING DOWN THE RAMP AND THEN STANDING IN FORMATION, EACH HOLDING A RIFLE. ONE SOLDIER LEADS THE ROUTINE, WHICH THE CROWD REALLY APPRECIATES. A DEEP, HEARTFELT "USA" CHANT KICKS UP BEFORE "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO PLAYS. JORDAN ROCKWELL MAKES HIS WAY OUT, STARING A HOLE THROUGH MORGAN. HE WALKS PAST THE TROOPS AND GOES TO HIS WIFE AND MOTHER, GIVING EACH A HUG AND KISS.

Hudson: "Listen to the reaction for the Franchise! This place loves it"!

HTM: "Well I'm sure Rockwell wants to get his hands on Morgan, but don't think Morgan isn't ready for this one"!

ROCKWELL STARTS TO RUN THE REST OF THE WAY TO THE RING, SLIDING UNDER THE ROPES AND INTO THE RING. MORGAN MAKES NO MOVE, SO ROCKWELL POPS UP AND GOES AFTER HIM. REFEREE CHARLES ROBINSON TRIES TO HOLD HIM OFF BUT ROCKWELL SHOVES HIM OUT OF THE WAY AND THE FIGHT IS ON.

Hudson: "Here we go.... Rockwell isn't waiting another second..... and how can you blame him"?!

Jordan Rockwell vs. Matt Morgan

Rockwell smashed Morgan with several shots but Morgan took them all and pushed him away. He then threw a clothesline that Rockwell ducked before taking him down with a double leg. Rockwell pummeled Morgan with shots until Robinson moved in and forced him to get off. Rockwell made his way back over but Morgan got up and plowed over him with a clothesline. After berating the 'Franchise', Morgan dropped an elbow right across his chest. After pulling him up, he slammed Rockwell into the corner where he measured him for 3 hard back elbows. He then pulled Rockwell out of the corner, right into a clothesline with his other arm. The match had swung completely in Morgan's favor but he didn't let Rockwell rest at all. After driving him into the mat with a walking sidewalk slam, Morgan made the cover and got a 2 count. With his right hand, he then choked Rockwell, yelling "Are you sure you want to mess with me", right in his ear. Morgan got him to his feet again, going to the body with punches to either side. He then measured him again and ran in with a back elbow, but Rockwell got out of the way and then knocked him out of the ring with a clothesline. After going out onto the apron, Rockwell dove off with an elbow drop, looking very much like Cactus Jack. The aerial attack connected and Rockwell then got Morgan up, trying to whip him into the steel ringpost but it was reversed and Morgan sent him into the pole. Morgan then grabbed Rockwell and began to rub his face against the steel as Robinson told him to get it back into the ring. Morgan grabbed Rockwell and rolled him into the ring, but as Morgan nonchalantly got back in, something got into Rockwell. He again took Morgan down with a double leg and this time, he pushed Robinson away when he tried to get him off. Robinson let it go and Rockwell got Morgan up, punishing him with both kicks and punches as the crowd ate it up. After rocking Morgan with a haymaker, Rockwell whipped him to the corner and ran in with a clothesline. Morgan was in trouble as Rockwell tried to hook him up for the Extreme Measures, but Morgan pushed him away and then turned him inside out with a clothesline. From there, Morgan got down and smashed Rockwell's head against the mat multiple times. Rockwell was now very slow to get up, hardly moving. When he got up, Morgan blasted him with the Carbon Footprint and immediately covered him for the 1..........................2................., but Rockwell got a shoulder up. Morgan was surprised, but he didn't lay off, shooting Rockwell to the corner. He then stood with his back to Rockwell, and began to swing his elbows wildly at his head. Rockwell went down in the corner, defending himself. Morgan took a few steps away and set up for another Carbon Footprint kick. This time, Rockwell moved and pulled the big man right into a very nice sitout spinebuster. Morgan couldn't recover in time as Robinson was in great position to make the 3 count.

Match Time: 13:10

Hudson: "Rockwell got him! Rockwell has overcome the massive Morgan to get the win"!

HTM: "Wait a second.... what is going on here"?

CAMERAS GET A SHOT OF A MAN DRESSED IN ALL BLACK, WEARING A BLACK MASK WITH NO EYES OR MOUTH ON IT. AT THAT SAME TIME, CARNEY COMES OUT FROM THE CROWD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING.

Hudson: "It's Carney... what the hell"?!

AS ROCKWELL CELEBRATED THE WIN, CARNEY CAME INTO THE RING AND ATTACKED HIM FROM BEHIND. THE MASKED MAN THAN GOT INTO THE RING AND JOINED THE ASSAULT. CARNEY KICKED ROCKWELL RIGHT IN THE FACE AS THE UNKNOWN ASSAILANT GOT DOWN AND CHOKED HIM. CARNEY GRABBED THE LEGS OF ROCKWELL AND KICKED HIM RIGHT IN THE GROIN.

Hudson: "What in the hell is going on out here?! Carney and this...... whatever he is..... are destroying Jordan Rockwell"!

HTM: "It looks like it's only gonna get worse"!

THEY PULLED ROCKWELL UP AND CARNEY DELIVERED THE "C-DRIVE" AS THE MASKED MAN BROUGHT A STEEL CHAIR INTO THE RING. HE SMASHED IT RIGHT OVER ROCKWELL's HEAD. ROCKWELL QUIVERED AND CONVULSED ON THE MAT AFTER THE IMPACT AS A CAMERA GOT A SHOT OF HIS TERRIFIED WIFE AND MOTHER.

Hudson: "Look at this.... this is disgraceful"!

THE MASKED MAN SAT ROCKWELL UP, EVEN THOUGH HE SEEMED UNCONCIOUS, AND CARNEY THEN WRAPPED THE STEEL CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD. MATT MORGAN THEN PICKED HIM UP AND DROPPED HIM INTO THE MAT WITH THE "HELLEVATOR".

HTM: "There's gonna be nothing left of Rockwell, Scott"!

AS BOOS FLOWED THROUGH THE STADIUM, THEY GOT EVEN LOUDER WHEN MONEY MIKE CAME WALKING DOWN THE ENTRANCE RAMP, A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE GOT INTO THE RING AND STOOD AMONGST THE OTHER 3 MEN. HE REACHED INTO HIS POCKET AND PULLED OUT A SMALL PIECE OF PAPER BEFORE CRAMMING IT RIGHT INTO ROCKWELL's MOUTH! THE CAMERA GOT A GOOD SHOT OF THE PIECE OF PAPER, WHICH WAS THE SAME ONE CONTAINING THE "EMPIRE" LOGO.

Hudson: "I don't.... I don't even know what to think right now! A contingent of Carney, Matt Morgan and a man in a mask have come out and decimated Jordan Rockwell following what was a great victory! Then, Money Mike comes out, seemingly behind the whole thing"!

HTM: "Not seemingly, Hudson, he is behind it! It's all starting to add up now"!

Hudson: "It is"?

MONEY MIKE, CARNEY, MORGAN AND THE MAN IN THE MASK LEFT THE RING AS PARAMEDICS RUSHED DOWN TO HELP ROCKWELL, WHO HAS NEVER LOOKED WORSE.

Hudson: "Never, in his entire career, has someone done this to Rockwell! I'm disgusted and ashamed to have witnessed this"!

AFTER THE VIDEO, THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT AND "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON. THE BRINGS OUT ARIEL WHO IS LEADING KEVIN THORN TO THE RING.

Hudson: "It is now time for our Universal title match but I gotta say, I'm still shaken over what we just saw".

HTM: "Are you gonna be okay? This is your first WrestleMania, I don't want you to fall apart here and force them to bring back that idiot Michael Cole"!

Hudson: "Kevin Thorn got into this match by taking out Mark Henry and the former Universal champion would love to get another taste of the title".

HTM: "Kevin Thorn has as much, if not more business, being in this match than any of these guys"!

"WANTED MAN" BY REV THEORY STRIKES UP AND J.J. RAMPLIN IS OUT TO A VERY GOOD CHEER.

Hudson: "One of the unique things about this Six Pack challenge is the fact that superstars from Rampage will also be able to win it, and one of those men is this man, J.J. Ramplin"!

HTM: "He may be on Rampage but I am very familiar with what this guy can do.... he is definitely a threat to win it".

"THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY PLAYS NEXT AND BRINGS AXL IRVIN OUT, ALSO TO A FAVORABLE RESPONSE.

Hudson: "Now on Rampage, Axl Irvin knows what it's like to be Universal champion and he accomplished that by winning a six man Elimination Chamber match, one where no one expected him to do so".

HTM: "He's also enthralled in a major rift with Edge, one that goes back to Axl winning the WrestleMania Jackpot last year".

Hudson: "Yes, something Edge ultimately sabotaged"!

"AMAZING" BY KANYE WEST PLAYS AND THAT LEADS JOE COREY OUT. BOOS FOLLOW AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH PRYO EXPLODING BEHIND HIM.

HTM: "Here's my pick! Joe Corey..... long overdue for a run with this title"!

Hudson: "Well that's definitely what Corey believes, but he's got five guys standing in his way of that goal tonight".

"METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS AND EDGE IS OUT NEXT, PUMPED UP AS HE HEADS TO THE RING.

HTM: "Look at the star power in this match"!

Hudson: "On four occasions, Edge has been the Universal champion.... is tonight lucky number five"?!

HTM: "It's hard to say no with what Edge is capable of, but I'm sticking with The Show".

"THE TIME IS NOW" IS THE LAST THEME SONG TO RUN AND IT BRINGS JOHN CENA OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, BUT THERE ARE WAY MORE CHEERS THAN BOOS. HE GIVES HIS USUAL SALUTE AND GOES TO THE RING.

Hudson: "Six men and only one winner..... this match will have all six men in the ring simultaneously and it will be elimination style".

HTM: "Last man standing wins.... this is gonna be great"!

REFEREE MIKE CHIODA GIVES ALL 6 MEN A GOOD LOOK AT THE UNIVERSAL TITLE BEFORE HANDING IT TO TIMEKEEPER.

Hudson: "We're ready to get this underway.... this crowd is way past ready"!

6 Pack Challenge/Vacant TWF Universal Title Match

Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin vs. Axl Irvin vs. Edge vs. "The Show" Joe Corey vs. John Cena

The match started out as you would expect, a brawl with no order. All 6 men went right after it and Axl sought out Edge, trying to get him out quickly. Corey and Cena brawled as Thorn choked Ramplin in the corner. He then pulled Chioda away from the corner as Ariel got on the apron with his walking stick but when she poked it at Ramplin, he grabbed it and pushed Ariel to the floor. Thorn then charged in with a vile look in his eyes but Ramplin countered with a backdrop to the floor. That allowed him to help Cena against Corey and together, they overcame him. Cena whipped Corey right into a big clothesline from 'The Ram'. But when he turned his back, Ramplin hit Cena from behind too. It was every man for himself and Edge was trying desperately to get away from Axl. Thorn was able to help Ariel up but it proved costly. Right when he got back in the ring, he ate a boot to the stomach from Corey who then delivered the "Showstopper", covering him for a 3 count. Thorn was the first man out.

Corey then engaged with Ramplin, who seemed to really want to get his one time fellow Horseman out. Meanwhile, Edge was able to rake his eyes across the face of Axl and get a shot in on Ramplin. He then grabbed him for the "Edge-a-cution" but Ramplin swung out of it and pushed him towards Axl who grabbed him by the back of the head and tossed him over the top rope. Axl then tagged Ramplin with a right hand and Corey locked up with Cena again. Axl came over and hit Cena in the back of the head before hitting Corey with a succession of right hands. But Cena got up behind him and when Axl turned around, Cena got him up for the "F-U" to put him out of the match. Ramplin tried to catch Cena by surprise after the pinfall, charging in with the 'Ram's Horns', but Cena got out of the way. Ramplin stopped his momentum before he hit the corner but when he turned, Cena got him up for the F-U as well, a 3 count putting him out.

Corey, Cena and Edge stood as the final competitors and Edge was now back in the ring, all over Cena. Corey joined in and they had Cena down, piling boots on top of him. But Corey turned his attack to Edge and he was able to hit him with a textbook spinebuster, a pinfall getting him a 2 count. Corey got Edge up and continued the beating by delivering an awesome turnbuckle powerbomb. But following that move, Cena began to stir. Instead of following up on Edge, Corey ran at him and Cena backdropped him out of the ring. Cena then scrambled over and covered Edge for a 1.............2........., but Edge was up. Cena got him up and delivered his swinging sideslam before setting up for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Corey got up outside the ring and grabbed the steel chair that ring announcer Stephen DeAngelis was sitting in after ordering him out of it. Cena landed the move on Edge as Corey brought the chair into the ring. He jabbed the chair into the ribs of Cena before cracking it over the head of Edge when he got up. The impact knocked Edge through the top and middle ring ropes and to the floor. Corey then got Cena up but Cena got him to his shoulders. Sensing the F-U coming, Corey got free and hit Cena with not just one lowblow, but 2. He then grabbed Cena by the head and neck, swung him around and set him up for the Showstopper. Cena countered with a backdrop and then ran the ropes for another 5 Knuckle Shuffle. As he ran off the ropes, Corey got up and punched him right in the abdomen, leading into the Showstopper. Corey fell on top of Cena and hooked the leg, pinning him. Corey was slow to get up, though, and he turned right into the opportunistic Edge who slammed into him with the spear! Edge covered Corey and hooked the leg, 1..................2....................3!

Match Time: 14:25

HTM: "It is lucky number five! Edge has reclaimed the Universal title"!

HTM: "Wow..... Corey was that close..... that close to that elusive title only to fall to the same man who defeated him at WrestleMania 9".

"METALINGUS" PLAYED VERY LOUDLY AGAIN AS EDGE HELD UP THE TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND, TAKING IN WHAT WAS MOSTLY BOOS FROM THE CROWD.

Hudson: "And are you ready for some more irony? After winning the Universal title for a fourth time, it was getting drafted to Rampage that got the title off Edge and Edge off PrimeTime. Now, he's back on PrimeTime by virtue of this win".

HTM: "An incredible twist, Hudson, but many, including myself, have always felt he was the uncrowned champion"!

Hudson: "A great match..... oh so close for some of these guys, yet so far away! The night belongs to the Rated R Superstar"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW COURTNEY TAYLOR WALKING TOWARDS A CLOSED DOOR. SHE SEEMS TO BE BEING VERY SNEAKY ABOUT IT. AS SHE GETS TO THE FOOT OF THE DOOR, THE VOICES OF BOTH MALES AND FEMALES CAN BE HEARD. THE TALKING INSIDE STOPS, AND THE DOOR OPENS. MONEY MIKE STEPS OUT AND BEGINS TO BACK COURTNEY DOWN.

Courtney Taylor: "I..... I.............

Money Mike: "Were going away, right? You were just leaving.............

Courtney Taylor: "Ye.... yes.... I was just leaving".

COURTNEY RUNS OFF IN A HURRY AS MIKE GOES BACK INTO THE ROOM.

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER MAKES HIS WAY OUT FROM THE BACK TO A VERY NEGATIVE REACTION.

J.R.: "Fans get ready for one of the most personal situations we've ever dealt with here in the TWF".

Lawler: "It's the two men who co-founded the old group GeNext..... but it's about much more than that"!

J.R.: "Jason Oliver and M.X. Ogden were at one time the best of friends but now...... they are without question the worst of enemies"!

"WHERE I WANNA BE" BY THE VEER UNION PLAYS AND M.X. OGDEN STEPS OUT TO A VERY BIG POP. HE SEEMS EMOTIONLESS AS HE HEADS TO THE RING, NOT TAKING HIS EYES OFF OF OLIVER.

Lawler: "I don't think a lot of us even know what it was that ended the relationship between these two men, J.R., but it's gotten very nasty lately".

J.R.: "From Ogden taking off the mask of Jaden Core and attacking Oliver at the Royal Rumble to Oliver having the nerve.... the absolute nerve to go to the school where Ogden was trained and assault his trainer! Something he should be in jail for.... in my opinion"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute.... Oliver is leaving the ring"!

OLIVER LEAVES THE RING AS OGDEN GETS CLOSER, NOT WILLING TO WAIT ONE MORE SECOND TO GET HIS HANDS ON HIM. WHEN HE REACHES OGDEN, HE IS BEATEN TO THE PUNCH AS OGDEN JUST DROPS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND.

Jason Oliver vs. M.X. Ogden

Ogden got Oliver up and shot him into the steel ring steps and he hit them with a ton of force. Ogden then went under the apron and pulled out a hammer. Not necessarily an uncommon object to have under the ring, but one Ogden seemed to go right for. He went after Oliver and swung the hammer at his hand which was on the steps. Oliver moved his hand just in time as the hammer loudly clanged off the steps. Oliver then got up and kicked Ogden in the side before ramming his head into the steps. He then rolled Ogden into the ring and followed in, kicking him right in the ribs. He then grabbed him for a big swinging neckbreaker. Oliver was not interested in going for the cover, instead just attacking Ogden like it was some sort of fight in an alley. After stomping right on the face of Ogden, Oliver got him up and sent him into the corner. But he moved in after him very slowly and Ogden just flew out with a forearm to the face. He then grabbed the head and neck of his one time friend and hit a nice tornado DDT. Ogden then grabbed Oliver's head with both hands and rammed it against the mat repeatedly. Oliver grabbed his head and seemed very disoriented as Ogden got up and let "Get up motherfucker"! Oliver got to his hands and knees and now it was Ogden kicking him right in the ribs and then, right in the face! Ogden got Oliver up and used the ring ropes to tie him up, by the throat! Oliver was caught in the ropes and Ogden was relentless, hitting him with both punches and kicks before connecting with a flying knee to the jaw that caught him flush. Referee Chad Patton was finally able to get Oliver free from the ropes, and he was definitely hurt as he just fell to the mat. From there, Ogden went to the top rope, looking for the finishing touch. He jumped off with a flying knee but at the last moment, Oliver rolled out of the way. Ogden was in a lot of pain, yelling right when he made contact with the mat. Oliver was able to get his wits about him and got to his feet, going back to the brawling tactics to attack Ogden. Then, he got very aggressive and borderline sadistic. Oliver grabbed the right leg of Ogden and yanked at it multiple times, causing more pain to the leg that Ogden just hurt. Oliver grabbed Ogden and threw him outside the ring through the ropes and followed him to the floor. He grabbed his left hand and pulled at each of his fingers, appearing to physically break all 5 of them! Ogden was in excruciating pain as Oliver took off one half of the ring steps and slammed it down on that right leg and knee. Oliver picked Ogden up and rolled him back into the ring. Because of the level of pain he was in, Patton almost stopped the match, but Ogden pleaded with him not too. Oliver moved in, stomping on the left hand and the already broken fingers before locking in a figure four leg lock. The match was over because there was no way Ogden could withstand the pain but he was close enough to the ropes to grab them and get a break. Still, Oliver took most of Patton's 5 count before letting go of the hold. Oliver backed up, allowing Ogden to get to his feet with the help of the ropes. When he moved in, Ogden used his good leg to kick at Oliver, but it had little effect. Oliver landed a hard punch and Ogden tried to fight back, showing incredible heart. He staggered Oliver after some punches but when he threw a clothesline, Oliver ducked and picked him up, delivering a shin breaker right on the same hobbled knee. That led to the "Claymore" and Oliver went for the cover, getting 1....................2................., but Ogden kicked out! Oliver couldn't believe it but Ogden didn't have much left. Oliver pulled him up and picked him up on his shoulder, using all his power to push the right knee, unprotected, right into the mat. "AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" was heard out of Ogden and Oliver covered him, hooking both legs to get the victory.

Match Time: 12:24

J.R.: "My God........ thankfully and mercifully, this is over".

Lawler: "I have never seen hatred like this, J.R., that was.............

AS OLIVER GOT HIS HAND RAISED AND "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" PLAYED, OGDEN RETURNED TO THE RING AND HIT HIM FROM BEHIND, KNOCKING HIM TO THE MAT. OGDEN THEN STOOD OVER OLIVER WITH THE HAMMER HE HAD EARLIER.

J.R.: "Oh no..... don't do it, Ogden, it's not worth it..... there will be other days, son"!

Lawler: (in a much different tone than usual, almost a whisper): "Look at the look in Ogden's eyes".

OLIVER WAS DOWN IN THE CORNER, COWERING WITH HIS HANDS UP TO DEFEND HIMSELF. OGDEN STOOD OVER HIM, VISIBLY SHAKING AND HOLDING THE HAMMER IN HIS RIGHT HAND. AFTER SEVERAL INCREDIBLY TENSE MOMENTS, OGDEN DROPPED THE HAMMER AND LIMPED OFF.

J.R.: "Ogden has spared Oliver and God only knows what he had on his mind right there".

Lawler: "Ogden needs serious medical attention..... that's what should be on his mind".

OGDEN LIMPED UP THE RAMP, A SADISTIC LOOK IN HIS EYES AS OLIVER STILL SAT DOWN IN THE CORNER OF THE RING, ALMOST LAUGHING.

J.R.: "That was the downright crazy and I have a very good feeling that we haven't seen the last of it"!

Lawler: "But what will they stop at"?!

SUDDENLY SEVERAL MEMBERS OF A MARCHING BAND COME OUT FROM THE BACK WEARING WHITE AND BURNT ORANGE. THEY BEGIN TO PLAY "THE EYES OF TEXAS". MOMENTS LATER, MATT CRUZ AND MARIA EMERGE FROM THE BACK AS THE FOLLOWING WORDS APPEAR ON THE TWF TRON.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you

All the live long day

The Eyes of Texas are upon you

You cannot get away

Do not think you can escape them

At night or early in the morn'

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,

Till Gabriel blows his horn

FORMER UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND CURRENT TENNESSEE TITAN QUARTERBACK VINCE YOUNG THEN RUNS OUT FROM THE BACK, CARRYING THE TEXAS FLAG CONTAINING THE LONGHORNS LOGO.

J.R.: "It has already been a tremendous, unforgettable night of action here in Houston, but we have one more big one, King".

Lawler: "The biggest night in the life of Matt Cruz. Ever since winning the Royal Rumble, he's felt it was his destiny not just to be here, but to become the champion here".

J.R.: "And what a great entrance for the former NCAA wrestling champion from Texas..... including fellow alum Vince Young".

"VOICES" COMES ON VERY LOUD AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT TO MOSTLY CONSENSUS BOOS. THE WORLD TITLE IS STRAPPED TO HIS WASTE AS HE SLOWLY SAUNTERS DOWN THE RAMP.

Lawler: "Randy Orton has been the TWF World champion for seventeen of the last nineteen months on Rampage..... something that will make the quest for Cruz that much more difficult".

J.R.: "A very good point you make there, partner. I look for a classic battle between the cunning, psychological Orton and the technical, mat based prowess of Cruz".

Lawler: "And how 'bout Maria? Avoiding all of Orton's advances"?

J.R.: "That didn't surprise me at all. Maria is a great girl who seems to have helped provide the renewed energy in Cruz...... let's not forget she was the one who selected number twenty nine as his Royal Rumble entry number".

Lawler: "She may be inspiration for Cruz, and understandably so, but he's gonna need a lot more than that tonight".

TWF World Title Match

Challenger: Matt "Madik" Cruz w/ Maria vs. Randy Orton

As the bell sounded to start the match, referee Jim Korderas held the title up for the buzzing crowd to see. Cruz and Orton stood nose to nose, ready for battle. The bell sounded and the match was underway. The two men locked up and pushed each other around for position. It was Orton that got Cruz into the corner but he missed with an overhand right and Cruz grabbed him with both hands around the waist, lifting him up over his head. But Orton was able to get free of his clutches before any damage could be done and he landed a big kneelift right to the face. Orton then scored with a clothesline before giving a look out at Maria, who seemed a little concerned. He got Cruz up and whipped him to the ropes, dropped to one knee and punched him in the abdomen before grabbing his head and neck. But Cruz countered into a nice northern lights suplex, getting a 1 count. Both men got to their feet and Cruz ducked a clothesline before using a fireman's takedown to set up a reverse chin lock. But Orton got to his feet and came up with a nice sitdown jawbreaker to counter. A picture perfect dropkick followed and Cruz went flying through the ring ropes and to the floor. Maria ran around the ring to check on her man as Orton slowly went to the apron and walked down the ring steps. He pressed up against Maria, who was growing a little scared. Orton moved her aside and grabbed Cruz, throwing him face first into the ring apron. He tried to repeat the move, but Cruz blocked it with both hands and got in an elbow to the gut before rolling Orton into the ring. But as Cruz got onto the apron and stuck his head through the ropes, Orton quickly got up and grabbed him, pulling him to the mat with a vile DDT. Orton rolled Cruz over and hooked the leg, but Cruz got a shoulder up after a count of 2. From there, he dragged Cruz into the center of the ring and put the 'Orton Stomp' to him, literally stomping on every inch of Cruz's frame, finally putting a boot to his face. He then pulled Cruz up and tried to deliver his backbreaker by pulling Cruz against his own body but Cruz had the move scouted, swinging away before Orton could execute it and hitting a very nice release german suplex. A rejuvenated cheer fell over the stadium as both men were down. Maria smacked the apron, trying to help Cruz get back into the match. He got to his feet a few seconds before Orton did and when Orton ran in at him, he hit a very nice powerslam, hooking the leg for the 1.................2..................., but Orton kicked out. Cruz went into a groove at this point, hitting a belly to belly suplex followed by a nice T-Bone suplex. He went for the cover after that and again, Orton was up at 2. Cruz knew it was time for a big move, so he went outside the ring and looked back to measure Orton. He then went for a moonsault off the top rope but Orton got his knees up into his gut! Cruz stumbled to his feet and Orton got up, hitting the "RKO"! Cruz was able to roll close enough to the ropes and before Orton could get the 3 count, Maria put Cruz's left foot on the bottom rope and Korderas noticed it just in time. Orton knew what happened though and he began to crawl towards Maria, who backed away. Orton went outside the ring and inched towards Maria, who continued to back up until she was stopped by the ring steps. Orton was about to put his hands on Maria when Cruz came from behind. But Orton was waiting for him, connecting with a right hand. After throwing the challenger head and shoulder first into the ring steps, Orton got him up and rolled him into the ring. He then went across to the other side of the ring, sizing Cruz up for his punt kick. Cruz was in a lot of trouble as Orton hopped around, ready to kick his way into a successful title defense. But when he ran in, Cruz got up and was actually able to catch his foot. After getting his own footing back, he tripped Orton up and then set him up for the "Colorado Cloverleaf". A massive cheer came over the place as Cruz turned Orton over. In a lot of pain, Orton fought and scratched his way to the ropes. But just as he was about to grab it, Cruz pulled him back towards the center of the ring, wrenching back even further on the hold. Orton had no escape and shockingly tapped out!

Match Time: 16:11

Lawler: "Ahhhh! I don't believe it"!

J.R.: "Yes...... yes, it has happened! Matt Cruz is the new World champion, ending the impressive reign of Orton..... and doing so by submission"!

Lawler: "I thought Orton was gonna get to the ropes.... or reverse it.... or something"!

"THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE PLAYED AS KORDERAS HANDED CRUZ THE TITLE BELT. MARIA CAME INTO THE RING AND JUMPED INTO HIS ARMS AS FIREWORKS POPPED OFF IN THE HOUSTON SKY.

J.R.: "Fate was on the side of Matt Cruz..... you really have to believe that! From the Royal Rumble to this moment right here..... oh what a ride"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute.... we've got company".

CAMERAS GOT A SHOT OF A LARGE GROUP MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING, LED BY MONEY MIKE. WITH HIM WAS CARNEY, ALBA RIOS, MATT MORGAN AND THE MASKED MAN WHO ATTACKED JORDAN ROCKWELL EARLIER.

J.R.: "Oh no..... what the hell is this"?!

MONEY MIKE HAD A MICROPHONE IN HAND AND HE GOT INTO THE RING, GETTING IN THE FACE OF MATT CRUZ. AT ABOUT THIS TIME, A HELICOPTER COULD BE HEARD FLYING OVER THE BUILDING.

Money Mike: "Hey, champ...... you'll be hearing from us..... but my suggestion is you leave this ring..... now".

CRUZ SEEMS READY TO CHALLENGE MONEY MIKE, BUT MARIA ENCOURAGES HIM TO LEAVE THE RING. A CAMERA OUTSIDE THE BUILDING GETS A SHOT OF THE HELICOPTER, WHICH HAS LANDED OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

Money Mike: "Has anyone begun to put the pieces together? Anyone?! What you people are witnessing is the dawn of a new day here in the TWF! The Empire strikes back.... don't you get it? We are The Empire!!! Money..... Power...... Sex! That's what this group..........

JUST THEN, "ENTER SANDMAN" BY METALLICA COMES ON.

J.R.: "Oh no.... it can't be.... it can't be"!

Lawler: "Ahhhhhhhhh! Look at this"!

THE FANS BEGIN TO GO COMPLETELY WILD WHEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH STRATUS COME OUT FROM THE BACK! WAKEMAN LOOKS IN THE BEST SHAPE OF HIS LIFE.

WAKEMAN GOES UP TO RANDY ORTON, WHO IS NOW OUTSIDE THE RING, AND CRACKS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND. HE THEN GETS INTO THE RING WITH TRISH. SEEING THIS, MATT CRUZ GOES BACK TO THE RING AND STANDS ALONGSIDE WAKEMAN, FACING 'THE EMPIRE'. BUT MONEY MIKE, CARNEY, MORGAN AND THE MASKED MAN JUMP ON THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION LIKE A PACK OF WILD DOGS. SHOCKINGLY, WAKEMAN JOINS IN ON THE ATTACK! TRISH GRABS A STEEL CHAIR FROM OUTSIDE THE RING AND SLIDES IT INTO THE RING WHERE MONEY MIKE PICKS IT UP, CRACKING IT OVER CRUZ's HEAD! CRUZ IS BUSTED OPEN AS TRAVIS WAKEMAN SLAPS ON HIS OLD 'ROUND TABLE' HOLD. ORTON GETS BACK INTO THE RING BUT MONEY MIKE SMASHES HIM WITH THE CHAIR AS WELL.

J.R.: "My God...... what in the hell is going on here tonight"?!

Lawler: "J.R...... this Empire is out of control"!

MORGAN GETS ORTON UP AND DELIVERS THE "HELLEVATOR" AS THE MASKED MAN, WHILE CRUZ IS STILL IN THE ROUND TABLE, CHOKES HIM OUT. ORTON IS PULLED TO HIS FEET FOR CARNEY TO DELIVER THE "C-DRIVE" WHICH ALLOWS ALBA RIOS TO SIT ON ORTON, SLAPPING HIS DEFENSELESS SELF AN INSANE OF AMOUNT OF TIMES. ORTON IS ONCE AGAIN PULLED TO HIS FEET BY MORGAN WHO PUSHES HIM TOWARDS MONEY MIKE..... ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD. ORTON IS OUT COLD AS WAKEMAN GOES OVER AND GETS A MICROPHONE.

Travis Wakeman: "Surprised?! I guess that's what happens when you align yourself with the Element of Surprise!

MONEY MIKE AND WAKEMAN KNOCK FISTS AS BOOS START TO GROW.

As Mike was saying..... The Empire is now the standard of the TWF! Why? Simple. This is something that has been in the works for years...... years! Rewind your minds back to July of 2008..... TWF Evil Intentions. On that night, I defeated Vince McMahon in a Hell in a Cell match. In the contract for that match...... Vince McMahon had to sign over ownership of the TWF..... it just couldn't be made public.... it couldn't be announced on tv. Anyone wanna take a shot on who the owner of the TWF is"?

Lawler: "Oh wow.........

J.R.: "This.... this can't be".

Travis Wakeman: "Think about it...... have you seen McMahon since then? He's gone...... so the person who has been giving Money Mike the power to make matches, make stipulations.... is me! Rowdy Roddy Piper doesn't even know who he really works for...... Vince's own son didn't even know about this! Vince played the part...... he just had to report to me..... and wait..... until I was ready! The dawn of a new day is definitely upon us..... as things are going to drastically change! Everything will go through The Empire...... the TWF no longer has a governing body...... The Empire will handle that. We have assembled a group of men and women who have been lucky enough to be a part of this and trust me..... there is still plenty that you don't know".

Money Mike: "The Empire will push the limits like never before. The TWF is never...... ever going to be the same again"!

TRISH GETS THE MICROPHONE FROM WAKEMAN.

Trish Stratus: "As you guys can see....... The Empire...... has not only stuck back....... The Empire rules this business".

TRISH SMILES AND FLIPS THE MICROPHONE TO THE MAT AS "ENTER SANDMAN" PLAYS AGAIN. THE CROWD IS IN A STATE OF SHOCK, SOME EVEN LITTERING THE RING FROM THEIR SEATS.

Lawler: "I don't know if I even have words for this, J.R...... I'm.... I'm speechless".

J.R.: "I still want to know how Travis Wakeman could be the official owner of the TWF for two years...... two years and no one picked up on it"!

Lawler: "I think when they say that things are going to change..... that might be the understatement of all time"!

J.R.: "I would've never thought.... in a million years...... that we'd see these two men actually join forces! We need more answers.......
