GM Place

Vancouver, British Canada

Attendance: 11,199

January 30, 2009

Fans in Vancouver were fortunate enough to have the stars of PrimeTime on hand right before War in the Winter. Many matches had already been signed for the Pay-Per-View event, but this show would serve as a great catapult into it.

Taylor Made vs. Drusus

Taylor Made had his first appearance since being shifted to the PrimeTime brand but he ran into one of the strangest superstars PrimeTime has ever seen. Taylor was actually able to control the bout until it spilled outside of the ring and that is where the one time M.O.W. superstar took control. Back in the ring, Drusus went for an irish whip but Taylor reversed it and went for a clothesline. But Drusus ducked that and spit a reddish mist right in his face! Taylor was blinded by the substance and Drusus followed with a wicked neckbreaker to get the win.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Tatanka

This was just a rough, smashmouth match between the Moscow Mauler and the Native American Tatanka and after taking a pounding early in the match, Tatanka was able to kick Kozlov in the face as he charged into the corner. After a big clothesline, Tatanka scooped Kozlov up and slammed him to the mat. He then went to the top rope and flew off with a tomahawk chop that was right on the money. Tatanka got a 2 count when he went for the pin but when he tried to get Kozlov up for the Trail's End, Kozlov slipped off his shoulders. Tatanka ran the ropes and ducked a clothesline but when he came off the other side, a caught a stiff headbutt right to the chest. Kozlov followed that up with a reverse DDT drop and that got him the victory.

Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Bruce Santee (invitee)

Kevin Thorn closed Uprising out with a very solid, very complete performance. After dominating an unfortunate Bruce Santee, he delivered the "Dark Kiss" to win the match and make The Reqieum 2-0 for the night.

Ariel and Thorn celebrated the win as only the two of them can while the stage crew got things ready for PrimeTime to take the air live on all Fox network stations.

*** Invitees used for Uprising and PrimeTime this week were obtained from American Combat Wrestling- www.acwflorida.com

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

WHEN PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR, A VIDEO PACKAGE FROM THE LAST SHOW COMES ON HIGHLIGHTING THE CHALLENGE ISSUED BY EDGE WHICH LED TO HIS BEATDOWN OF OLD WRESTLING PERSONALITY REPO MAN. BUT DAMION WEST CAME OUT FROM THE CROWD AND CAUGHT THE RATED R SUPERSTAR WITH HIS PATENTED SUPERKICK.

"RAP SUPERSTAR" THEN PLAYS INTO THE BLACK AND WHITE OPENING MONTAGE OF PRIMETIME AND THE JAM PACKED GM PLACE COMES INTO THE SHOT.

SECONDS LATER, "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT TO A SURPRISINGLY HUGE CHEER WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.

Michael Cole: "With War in the Winter right around the corner, we bring you TWF PrimeTime..... live from Vancouver"!

Honky Tonk Man: "Well maybe we should come to Canada more often, Michael! They appreciate the great champion that Edge is..... listen to this"!

EDGE GETS IN THE RING AND IS HANDED A MICROPHONE.

Edge: "Not too long ago, I came out and issued a challenge that would help to prove my point that I am the greatest superstar the TWF has to offer! Now, I know Randy Orton has been running around Rampage making that same claim, but the proof is in the pudding, baby...... no one can take this from me!

EDGE HOLDS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE UP WITH HIS RIGHT HAND AND A LARGE PORTION OF THE CROWD CHEERS.

So, who took the bait? None other than "High Octane" Damion West, a guy who, up until a couple months ago, was not even an active superstar! A guy who couldn't even get his ass out of bed in the morning because he was too cracked out! Well, Damion, you came out here with your heartfelt story about how you worked your way back and you got what you wanted..... you got the sympathy of all these gullable puppets that tune in every week! But that's where it stops! You are not going to use your personal problems and your bad choices to steal my thunder you son of a bitch! So High Octane, you fit the description I asked for and you stepped up to answer the challenge. But you mark my words...... you are going to regret doing so"!

EDGE DROPS THE MIC AS "METALINGUS" PLAYS AGAIN.

Cole: "Some very strong words from Edge who will defend the Universal title against High Octane at War in the Winter but partner, what a huge show we have here tonight".

A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS DISPLAYED SHOWING JORDAN ROCKWELL ON ONE SIDE AND MARK HENRY ON THE OTHER.

HTM: "Oh that we do. Right here tonight, Mark Henry will defend the Intercontinental title against Jordan Rockwell in a Falls Count Anywhere match".

Cole: "There is no doubt that will be a hard hitting fight but also tonight, Joe Corey will team up with Scott Steiner to take on John Cena and CM Punk"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC FOR THAT TAG TEAM MATCH IS SHOWN.

HTM: "Those two huge matches plus much more right here from Vancouver, Canada..... don't go away"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

RETURN FROM BREAK......

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, PAUL HEYMAN IS SHOWN PACING BACK AND FORTH WHEN JOE COREY COMES UP.

Paul Heyman: "Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say and let me start by apol.......

Joe Corey: "What part of, I will not have a match until I get one for the Universal title did you not understand"?

Heyman: "I was just trying to.......

Corey: "I don't want your excuses, Paul! I gave you a very simple order and you couldn't follow it! You're supposed to be my agent.... a very high priced agent, I might add".

Heyman: "I got you the match with Cena because it was the quickest way for you to get another title shot. Shane McMahon very obviously was not going to give into you, no matter what".

Corey: "Cena will be lucky if he even makes it to War in the Winter..... got it"?

COREY WALKS AWAY AND HEYMAN IS OBVIOUSLY VERY NERVOUS.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE BLADE IS WAITING IN THE RING AS FINLAY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER FROM THE CROWD, CARRYING HIS SHILLELAGH.

Cole: "We are all set for our opening bout tonight from the GM Place and what a start we had here, partner, Edge coming out and basically threatening High Octane".

HTM: "High Octane just stepped back into the major leagues and Edge is gonna make him realize that he bit off way more than he can chew"!

Cole: "Finlay set for action here against one of the newest members of the PrimeTime roster, Blade, a guy many have high hopes for".

HTM: "Finlay has always been known as the Fighting Irishman but this will be the coming out party for the Bruiser from Barking, London"!

Finlay vs. Blade

Right as Finlay enters the ring, Blade jumps on him and is all over him. Finlay tries his best to recover and defend himself but Blade is throwing a barrage of punches before catching him with a kick to the gut. Finlay responds with a stiff right hand and then another before rocking Blade with a european uppercut. Finlay goes for an irish whip but Blade reverses it and catches him with a reverse flying forearm right on the button. After scooping Finlay up and slamming him to the mat, Blade goes to the middle turnbuckle and flies off with a front elbow that catches Finlay right in the throat. Blade is controlling the match as he picks Finlay up and shoots him to the corner but when he follows in, Finlay is waiting with a stiff kick to the face. Finlay then charged at him with a clothesline but he took out referee Marty Elias when Blade ducked. Blade then came back with a flying calf kick and pulled Finlay right back up, measuring him. But he missed with a savat kick and Finlay grabbed him and threw him face first into the middle turnbuckle. From there, Finlay grabbed his shillelagh and waited for Blade to get up, smashing him over the head with it when he did! Blade fell straight back to the mat and Finlay got Elias up before topping Blade for the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:50

Cole: "Whoa! London bridge is falling down! Finlay has won it"!

HTM: "Oh would you shut up?! That was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, Michael! Finlay had to use the shillelagh because he knew he couldn't beat Blade"!

FINLAY's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT THE RING WITH THE SHILLELAGH AS BLADE SAT UP, HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.

Cole: "Well I don't know about that. Finlay took advantage of the situation for sure, but had Blade done the same thing, you wouldn't say a thing about that"!

BACKSTAGE AREA..... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE.......

SHANE McMAHON IS TALKING WITH REFEREE MIKE CHIODA WHEN GREGORY HELMS AND TALIA WALK IN.

Shane McMahon: "Yes, go inform them that Burchill and Harry Smith will defend the tag team titles against Carney and Turrican at War in the Winter".

Mike Chioda: "Yes sir".

CHIODA LEAVES THE OFFICE AS HELMS STEPS UP A FEW FEET.

Shane: "Ya know, you could knock".

Gregory Helms: "Ya know, that was a funny stunt you pulled last week, Shane-O-Mac, putting me in the ring with that deranged freak Nails. All I know is you better hope I don't win that New Year's Battle royal because if I do..... you can pack your bags".

Shane: "First off, don't ever threaten me again. Secondly, you won't have to worry about any of that, because you won't be in the New Year's battle royal".

Talia: "What?! You didn't put my man on the card?! He's the Lightheavyweight champion"!

Shane: "Oh no, he'll be on the card, and he'll be defending that title. The only problem is...... I'm not gonna tell him who his opponent will be. Now if you two don't mind, I have business to tend to".

HELMS AND TALIA TURN TO LEAVE THE OFFICE BUT SHANE IS CLEARLY CHECKING HER OUT.

Shane: "Hey, Talia...... not bad".

SHANE GETS A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE AND HELMS TURNS TO GO AFTER HIM BUT SHE GRABS HIM AND LEADS HIM OUT OF THE OFFICE.

Carney w/ Turrican vs. Harry Smith w/ Paul Burchill and Katie Lea

This was a small preview of the Tag Team title match set for War in the Winter and there was action all over the ring, both inside and out. Carney's quickness was his biggest asset against Smith and after catching him with a big dropkick, he went to the top rope but Katie Lea got involved, grabbing his foot. Turrican ran around the ring and pushed Paul Burchill into the broadcast table before he began stalking Katie Lea. She backed up, almost in horror as the masked Turrican approached her, almost dancing as he came at her. But Burchill came from behind with a forearm to the back of his head. In the ring, Carney set Smith up for the "C-Drive" but Smith countered out of it, pushing him to the ropes. Carney was able to score with a dropkick after hitting the ropes before going for an irish whip. But Smith reversed it and shot Carney to the corner. Carney grabbed the ropes and tried to sling over the oncoming Smith but Smith caught him on his shoulder before delivering the famous running bulldog powerslam which got him the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 5:22

After the match, the United Nations' music played and Burchill and Smith stood over Carney with their tag team titles held high while Katie Lea taunted Turrican, who was still feeling the effects of Burchill's shot outside the ring.

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK PICK UP A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TITO ORTIZ AND GINA CARANO.

Tito Ortiz: "Look, Gina, I understand that you want some competition, but this isn't MMA, you don't just sign your name to a contract without knowing who your opponent is gonna be".

Gina Carano: "Who knows, maybe nobody will even sign it. I was just hoping to have my first match on Pay-Per-View".

Tito Ortiz: "Well that's a fine idea, but as your personal advisor, I just wish you would've ran the idea by me".

THE SHOT SWITCHES OVER TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA TO SHOW THE YARD BOSS TRYING TO GET CONTROL OF THE DOCKLAND DESTROYER, WHO IS YELLING, SCREAMING, AND EVEN HITTING HIMSELF.

Yard Boss: "Calm down.... calm down! The time is almost here! Soon...... soon we will be able to make the statement we have been waiting to make"!

THE WORDS SEEM TO CALM THE DOCKLAND DESTROYER, WHO BECOMES ALMOST CHILDLIKE AS HE LISTENS TO THE YARD BOSS.

COMMERCIAL BREAK..................

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

Non-Title Match

Lightheavyweight Champ: Gregory Helms w/ Talia vs. Austin Amadeus (invitee)

Gregory Helms stepped into the ring with a young Austin Amadeus, eager to show what he had to offer. But knowing he would be defending his Lightheavyweight title against an unnamed opponent at War in the Winter, Helms kicked it up a notch. After ducking an enziguri attempt from Amadeus, Helms caught him with a perfect flying neckbreaker. After tagging Amadeus with 3 hard right hands, Helms put him with with a big hip toss and he didn't let him recover for a second as he scored with the shining wizard. From there, Helms got Amadeus up and delivered the "Nightmare on Helms Street", rolling him into a pin and getting the victory.

Match Time: 4:28

AFTER THE MATCH, BOTH HELMS AND TALIA MOUTHED SOME WORDS TO THE CAMERA, SEEMINGLY TOWARDS WHOEVER WILL COME TO WAR IN THE WINTER TO FACE HELMS. HELMS SAID "THIS TITLE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE"!

BACKSTAGE......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW KATIE LEAD WALK UP TO THE DRESSING ROOM DOOR WHICH HAS THE NAME OF GINA CARANO ON IT. ALSO ON THE DOOR HANGS A PIECE OF PAPER. KATIE LEA PULLS OUT A PEN AND SIGNS HER NAME TO IT, WALKING AWAY WITH A CONFIDENT SMILE.

BACK IN THE RING, KENNY DOANE IS GETTING LOOSE.

Cole: "Well we're ready for some more action here, but did Katie Lea just do what I think she did"?

"LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AND NAILS COMES OUT TO A GOOD RESPONSE.

HTM: "I think she did! I think she just affixed her name to Gina Carano's open contract"!

Cole: "What a match that potentially stands to be, but right now, Kenny Doane's biggest nightmare may be walking to the ring".

HTM: "Well Kenny needs to be ready.... Nails is walking down here with a purpose".

Nails vs. Kenny Doane

When Nails got into the ring, Doane attacked with kicks to the legs and midsection before throwing a right hand but he had to shake it in pain after hitting the hockey mask. Doane then ran the ropes but Nails grabbed him by the throat when he came back. After delivering a big headbutt, Nails sent Doane into the corner where he flew in with a body splash before picking him up and dropping him on the top turnbuckle pad with the snake eyes. Nails then ran the ropes himself and delivered a clothesline that turned Doane inside out. The crowd was chanting "NAILS, NAILS, NAILS" as the hockey masked freak hoisted Doane up and delivered the "Nail Driver", covering him for the easy 3 count.

Match Time: 2:33

Cole: "And another win for Nails...... he just dominated Kenny Doane there"!

HTM: "Wait a minute, we've got company"!

JUST THEN, THE YARD BOSS LED DOCKLAND DESTROYER TO THE RING AND THE DESTROYER GOT IN THERE, ATTACKING NAILS WITH SOME SORT OF ROPE WITH A LARGE HOOK ON THE END OF IT. AFTER HITTING NAILS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE HEAD WITH IT, HE WRAPPED THE ROPE AROUND HIS THROAT AND BEGAN CHOKING HIM LIKE A MAN POSSESSED. THE YARD BOSS EVEN SEEMED TO HAVE LOST CONTROL AS OFFICIALS RAN OUT IN MASS TO PULL THE DESTROYER OFF. THE FANS BOOED AS NAILS WAS LEFT LAYING IN THE RING IN A HEAP AS THE YARD BOSS LED HIS MAN OUT.

Cole: "I...... I don't know what to say about this".

HTM: "That was vicious! That was the statement Dockland Destroyer has been waiting to make and I truly feel Nails has met his match in all departments"!

Cole: "Fans, we will be right back, but I don't think in his long TWF career, anyone has ever done anything like that to Nails".

COMMERCIAL BREAK...............

RETURN FROM BREAK...... BACKSTAGE.......

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, SCOTT STEINER HAS JUST TOLD CHERRY THAT HE WANTS HER TO STAY LOCKED IN HER DRESSING ROOM, AWAY FROM RINGSIDE FOR HIS MATCH TONIGHT.

THE SHOT IS THEN SENT TO THE RING WHERE RICKY ORTIZ IS PLAYING TO THE CROWD AND WAITING FOR HIS OPPONENT.

"OH NO YOU DIDN'T" BY THE WOJAHN BROTHERS HITS AND SAMAIEL COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

Cole: "We're back here on PrimeTime and we thank you all for tuning in tonight and an interesting match we have here as Ricky Ortiz will square off with Samaiel whom I'm not sure anyone knows just what to think of".

HTM: "Well, he's a guy who I happen to like because he didn't come here seeking approval from the fans or the boys in the back..... he came here to hurt some people and win some gold and I can respect that".

Cole: "Well we know that Samaiel will face Chaos Wolf at War in the Winter in a yet to be named match, but first, he's got Ricky Ortiz to deal with".

Samaiel vs. Ricky Ortiz

The bell sounded and the two men locked up. Samaiel tried to back Ortiz into the corner but Ortiz was able to reverse position until referee Charles Robinson stepped in and asked for a break. Ortiz broke cleanly, but Samaiel stung him with a right hand before kicking him in the gut. He then flung him into the corner where he put several more boots in his midsection before pulling him out with a big suplex. Samaiel made the cover, but Ortiz was up at 2. Samaiel then missed with a big elbow drop and Orti ran the ropes, taking him down with a flying shoulder tackle. After Samaeil retreated to a corner, Ortiz followed in and got up on the middle turnbuckle, pounding down on him as the crowd counted along with each one. Ortiz then got down and shot Samaiel to the corner but Samaiel hit the corner and then took flight, catching Ortiz with an impressive flying clothesline as he ran in. He then picked Ortiz up on his shoulders but Ortiz slipped off and hit the ropes, going for a spear. But Samaiel was alert enough to catch him with a big knee as he ran in, right to the head. From there, Samaiel got Ortiz up on his shoulders and delivered the "Hell's Hammer" and he then covered him for the 1.......2..........3.

Match Time: 6:25

Cole: "What a devastating move that Hell's Hammer is and it adds up to another win for Samaiel".

HTM: "Does Chaos Wolf have one of those in his future".

Cole: "Wait a minute.......

SUDDENLY, A VERY LOUD APPLAUSE IS HEARD AS CHAOS WOLF IS SHOWN ON THE PRIMETRON, CLAPPING HIS HANDS.

Chaos Wolf: "Congrats, Samaiel..... you have passed another test. But can you pass the one I have approved for War in the Winter..... we'll see. Isn't this right up your alley, Samaiel, coming over the loudspeakers and all, trying to get in the head of your opponent? Well, whether I'm in your head or not, it really doesn't matter. What does matter...... is I will see you inside the House of Horrors".

CHAOS WOLF BEGINS TO LAUGH IN A VERY EVIL TONE AS HE DISAPPEARS FROM THE VIDEO WALL.

Cole: "Oh my gosh..... we haven't seen one of those for quite some time".

HTM: "Well one thing is for sure... those two guys will face a battle like neither of them has ever been in".

BACKSTAGE..........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH AUSTIN PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE TALKING TO OF ALL PEOPLE, ARIEL.

Austin Pyromania: "Yes you were, everyone knows it".

Taylor Made: "C'mon, girl, don't try to act like you don't know me".

Ariel: "Maybe years ago..... but now I would never associate with people like you".

Taylor Made: "Oh.... oh so now I'm not good enough? Remember that night when........

JUST THEN, KEVIN THORN COMES UP WITH A LOOK IN HIS EYES THAT COULD KILL, STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ARIEL.

Pyromania: "Uh, sorry Dracula..... we were just leaving".

PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE WALK AWAY AS ARIEL TURNS AND LOOKS AT THE IMPOSING THORN.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS BUT THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH DROWNED OUT BY THE SIREN IN HIS THEME.

Cole: "And we are ready for one of tonight's feature bouts and here comes Big Poppa Pump".

HTM: "And it looks like Cherry did what she was told for once.... she's not out here"!

Cole: "What do you mean for once? She has done this man's bidding and it has been disgusting to watch! All I know is if CM Punk wins at War in the Winter, she won't have to anymore".

THE LIGHTS TURN OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" HITS AND JOE COREY IS LED THROUGH THE CROWD BY PAUL HEYMAN TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

HTM: "Well that's a big if, Michael, and speaking of War in the Winter, how about the match for the number one contendership between this man and John Cena"?

Cole: "Well I listen to what Corey says himself and to his agent and it seems to me like he doesn't want that match".

HTM: "Well, Corey just feels, and I happen to agree, that he deserves a shot at the Universal title and all this other stuff........

Cole: "So go out and prove it! Don't whine about it, just go get in the ring and earn it! I know that might be a foreign term to him"!

THE CROWD GOES WILD WHEN "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK COMES OUT, HEADED FOR THE RING AS HE PLAYS TO THE CROWD ON HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP.

HTM: "Look.... it's Cherry's boyfriend"!

Cole: "Look out... Steiner and Corey aren't waiting for Cena to get out here"!

"The Show" Joe Corey and Scott Steiner w/ Paul Heyman vs. John Cena and CM Punk

Punk was attacked the second he got into the ring by both Corey and Steiner. The two put the boots to him until John Cena came out to a mixed reaction to help his partner. He got right in and hit Corey with some hard right hands as Punk was able to get to his feet and catch Steiner with a flying calf kick after ducking a clothesline. Cena clotheslined Corey out of the ring and then actually flew onto him with a body press. In the ring, Punk whipped the muscle bound Steiner to the corner and came in with a flying knee right to the jaw area. A wad of saliva flew from the mouth of Steiner as Punk grabbed him around the head and neck for a running bulldog but Steiner countered and tossed Punk across the ring. Punk got to his feet and Steiner clobbered him with a clothesline. After dropping a big elbow across Punk's chest, Steiner began to do a set of push-ups, much to the crowd's dismay but Cena came back into the ring with a shot to the back of the head on Steiner. He then got him in position for his spinning side slam but Corey came back into the ring and kicked the back of Cena's right leg. He then grabbed him by the back of the head and launched him over the top rope before following him to the floor. But Punk was able to find the mark with a step-up enziguri before trying to get Steiner on his shoulders for the "GTS". Steiner was able to catch Punk with a vicious elbow to the left cheek that allowed him to get free and that led to a big reverse DDT. Steiner then rolled on top of Punk and hooked the inside leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:37

STEINER's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT THE RING AFTER DIRECTING SOME INSULTS AT PUNK.

HTM: "He got him! And if that happens at War in the Winter, Cherry stays right where she is"!

Cole: "Yeah, in misery.... won't that be nice"!

JOE COREY HAD A MICROPHONE AND WAS IN THE RING WITH HEYMAN.

Joe Corey: "Wait a minute! Paul, before we do one more thing, I have one other order of business to tend to tonight".

WITH THAT, COREY DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND KICKS HEYMAN IN THE STOMACH BEFORE DELIVERING THE "SHOWSTOPPER" TO THE SHOCK OF THE ENTIRE CROWD.

Cole: "What the hell"!

HTM: "Wow, I guess this is Corey's way of saying he wants a new agent"!

HEYMAN LAYS FACE DOWN ON THE MAT AS COREY LEAVES TO NOTHING BUT BOOS WHILE "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS AGAIN.

Cole: "Paul Heyman has paid the ultimate price for booking Corey in the match with Cena at War in the Winter..... he's been fired"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK............

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS FROM BREAK, ALDO CORLEONE IS IN THE RING AND THE THEME SONG FROM THE GODFATHER MOVIES IS PLAYING.

JUST THEN "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST COMES ON AND HIGH OCTANE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Cole: "Well we are back here on PrimeTime and this place is still buzzing over what just took place before break. Joe Corey delivering the Showstopper to his own agent, Paul Heyman and now, Corey is obviously going into War in the Winter without him".

HTM: "A huge turn of events, Michael, but right now, we have the man who will challenge Edge for the Universal title at War in the Winter and he will face the Italian Monster Aldo Corleone".

Cole: "One heck of a tune up here for the challenger, that's for sure".

Aldo Corleone vs. "High Octane" Damion West

Corleone rushed West the moment the bell sounded and backed him into a corner. But not to be bullied, Octane fought his way out with his tenacious style. He then ran the ropes and went for a crossbody but Corleone caught him in mid air and delivered a huge backbreaker. After standing right on the chest of High Octane, Corleone pulled him up and flung him into the corner where he went to the body with left and right hands. After a big suplex, Corleone went for a running elbow drop but he missed everything. West got back up and kicked the back of Corleone's legs, trying to knot them up. He then connected with a dropkick that he got way up for. But Corleone was able to catch him in a bear hug moments later and he backed West into the corner once more. From there, he wildly attacked with several rough punches and referee Mike Enos stepped in, trying to get a seperation. But Corleone shoved him aside and continued the beating. Enos called for the bell, disqualifying Aldo. As he argued with Enos, West got to his feet using the ropes to pull himself up and Corleone walked right into the "Head on Collision".

Match Time: 5:18

Cole: "Aldo Corleone has been disqualified but here comes the Universal champion"!

EDGE CAME IN THE RING, POSITIONING HIMSELF BEHIND WEST WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE HELD UP BY HIS HEAD WITH BOTH HANDS. WHEN WEST TURNED AROUND, HE TOOK A SWING WITH THE BELT BUT HIGH OCTANE DUCKED AND DRILLED HIM WITH THE SUPERKICK AS WELL!

EDGE FELL TO THE MAT AND THE TITLE LANDED RIGHT ON HIS CHEST AS "STRONGER" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND THE CROWD WENT WILD.

Cole: "Edge has eaten another superkick! The sneak attack backfired"!

HTM: "What the hell has gotten into High Octane?! Is he on something"?!

Cole: "I don't find the humor in that at all, but I think the more fair question to ask is does he have Edge's number?! It certainly appears he does"!

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA FINDS PAUL HEYMAN WALKING AS QUICK AS HE CAN TOWARD THE ARENA EXIT.

Lena Yada: "Paul..... Paul Heyman"!

HEYMAN TURNS AROUND AND APPEARS TO BE STEAMING MAD.

Lena: "I was just wondering if we could get your thoughts on what happened out there with your client, Joe Corey"?

BREATHING HEAVILY AND OBVIOUSLY ANGRY, HEYMAN DOESN'T SAY A WORD AND EXITS THE ARENA.

CAMERAS CATCH MARK HENRY ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.

Cole: "There you see the Intercontinental champion and that must mean it's main event time! We have used all our breaks tonight so we will be right here on FOX for the duration of this match"!

HTM: "Well I expect to see Henry make it three in...........

JUST THEN, HENRY IS BLINDSIDED BY JORDAN ROCKWELL, WHO HITS HIM OVER THE HEAD WITH A TRASH CAN.

HTM: "What the hell.... that's not fair"!

Cole: "It's falls count anywhere... this match is underway! We need a referee back there"!

Falls Count Anywhere/TWF Intercontinental Title Match

Challenger: Jordan Rockwell vs. Mark Henry

Rockwell was all over Henry as other officials and superstars scrambled to get out of the way in the back. The two men got near the catering area and Rockwell picked up a bowl of punch and threw it in the face of the World's Strongest Man before clotheslining him right over the table. Rockwell went for a cover, but Henry pushed him off at two. Rockwell found a stack of wood pallets and began to arrange them when Henry came from behind with a shot to the back, knocking him onto the pallets. He then landed on top of him with a big splash right into a cover for the 1........2........., but Rockwell just got a shoulder up in time. After some more clubbing shots to the back, Henry picked the challenger up and began leading him down the hallway, past the "gorilla" position and into the arena where the cheers from the audience became much louder. After throwing Rockwell down the ramp, Henry picked him up and drove the small of his back into the ring post. After rolling him into the ring, Henry came in and delivered a huge elbow drop to Rockwell. He then went outside the ring and to the surprise of everyone in attendance, began to climb the turnbuckle. He flew off with a splash that wouldn't broke Rockwell in half, but just in the nick of time, The Franchise was able to roll out of the way. From there, Rockwell rolled outside the ring and lifted the apron, pulling out what appeared to be a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. He came into the ring with it and clubbed Henry over the head, splitting him open! Rockwell then went outside the ring and grabbed the IC title belt, bringing it back into the ring. Henry slowly got up, blood trickling down his face and Rockwell smashed the belt across his head, knocking him to the mat! The crowd came to their feet and counted in unison as Rockwell covered the champion for the 1............2..............3!

Match Time: 10:11

Cole: "Yes! Yes! We have a new champion"!

HTM: "I can't believe this! He's defeated Henry and this place has lost it"!

Cole: "Jordan Rockwell has once again tasted TWF gold"!

"SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO CAME ON AS REFEREE MIKE CHIODA HANDED ROCKWELL THE BELT AND RAISED HIS HAND.

HTM: "I can't believe this! The blood of Mark Henry is on that belt"!

Cole: "If this isn't vindication for Rockwell..... I don't know what would be"!
