After an 8 month hiatus from programming, TWF Main Event made it's return on the road to WrestleMania 12. An overcast day in Seattle was the setting as over 14,000 excited TWF fans packed the Key Arena to catch the action.

Lightheavyweight Blitz

Jack Evans vs. Danny Omega vs. Jimmy Yang vs. Dave Folsom

As the fans were settling into their seats, these 4 men were ready to tear the house down as this unique new competition continued. Evans and Yang took after the up and coming competitors in the match, Omega and Folsom. Yang was able to duck a clothesline from Omega and catch him with a jumping back kick to the back of the head. Evans moved out of the way of a charging Folsom after being whipped to the corner and he then got him up for a sit out piledriver he calls the Evans Driver. To the top rope went Evans but Yang came over and swept his feet out from under him, crotching him on the top rope. Yang then climbed up the turnbuckle, looking to bring Evans off with a high impact move but as this was going on, an alert Omega crawled over and hooked both of Folsom's legs deep and he got the 3 count to steal the match. As Yang came off the turnbuckle and threw his hands up to Omega, Evans came off the top rope with a corkscrew plancha on him. The crowd was excited by the post-match maneuver, but it was Omega who left with the victory, advancing to the finale.

Primo vs. Cosa Enigmatica

The fans seemed excited for another chance to catch Cosa Enigmatica in action, but Primo was up to the challenge of the newcomer as the two men went move for move in a fast paced match. Primo set Cosa up for a reverse suplex but Cosa was able to spin under his arm and then turn it into a northern lights suplex to get a 2 count. After getting Primo to his feet, he belted him with some harsh knifedge chops before shooting him to the corner. Primo was able to sling over the oncoming Enigmatica and he rolled him up for a 2 count of his own. Back to the feet and both men threw simultaneous dropkicks. They scrambled to their feet and Cosa got a waistlock but Primo was able to use his hips to throw him off. Cosa went through the ring ropes, landing on the ring apron. But he got up and used the ropes to springboard back into the ring, hitting a sitting senton bomb. Primo got to his feet and Cosa whipped him to the ropes, going for a hurricanrana. But as Cosa tried to turn Primo over, Primo reversed it into a pinning predicament of his own and he got a quick 3 count. Before Cosa even realized what happened, Primo was out of the ring with his arms raised.

MAIN EVENT GOES LIVE

THE SHOT OPENS UP INSIDE KEY ARENA AND THE FAMILIAR SOUND OF A BUZZING CROWD IS HEARD AS THE CAMERA PANS ACROSS THE ARENA. NOT TOO MANY EMPTY SEATS CAN BE FOUND AND A VERY CREATIVE SIGN IS BEING WAVED AROUND BY A YOUNG MALE FAN THAT SAYS "CRUZ WILL MAKE PUNK TAP OUT...... IT's AUTOMADIK".

Scott Hudson: "Hello everyone and welcome to TWF's Main Event on NBC! I am Scott Hudson and sitting next to me is Jerry "The King" Lawler and I gotta say, it's much better to be sitting next to you than Michael Cole tonight".

Jerry Lawler: "Please, don't even say his name, let's just talk about the show and Scott, WrestleMania should start to become a little more clear tonight, we have so much action on tap"!

"TOO MANY LIES" COMES ON AND SHEAMUS COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Hudson: "We have PJ Cash putting up his fifty grand tonight along with one of the biggest tag team main events in TWF history, but we also have two WrestleMania Jackpot qualifying matches, starting with this one".

Lawler: "Sheamus would be a huge addition to that ladder match at WrestleMania, all he has to do it get by Christian tonight".

"JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" COMES ON AND CHRISTIAN IS MET WITH A VERY POSITIVE POP WHEN HE STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK.

Hudson: "Christian will provide the opposition here and the winner earns the right to be part of one of the TWF's most exciting matches over the calendar year".

Lawler: "Christian will have to be quick and athletic to avoid Sheamus tonight because if he can make this his kind of match, it will be a long night for Christian".

Hudson: "Christian definitely has the support of this Seattle crowd".

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying Match

Sheamus vs. Christian

Sheamus started the match with a kick to the abdomen and then whipped Christian into the ropes. Christian came off and dove between the legs of Sheamus, cracking him with a sharp punch when he turned around. Christian followed with 2 more and then a low kick of his own. Christian tried to grab the left arm of the Celtic Warrior but was smashed in the back of the head with the right. After a stiff clothesline, Sheamus picked Christian up and tossed him right through the ring ropes and to the floor. Following him to the floor, Sheamus pulled Christian up but the long time veteran was able to get on the other side of him and push him into the steel post. He then got up on the ring apron and jumped off but Sheamus shook off the effects of the post very quickly and caught Christian, ramming the small of his back into the apron before rolling him into the ring. Sheamus got back in and held out both arms, letting out a loud yell and likely wasting precious time in the process. When he went back to Christian he found himself inside a small package and nearly pinned. Sheamus got up and was fired up but missed with a clothesline. Christian ducked and came back with a knifedge chop followed by a standing dropkick. He then ran the ropes but Sheamus blasted him with the Brogue Kick. He immediately went into a cover and got 1............2........., but Christian was up. Sheamus pulled Christian up with a handful of hair and threw him into the corner. He then ran in but Christian caught him with a boot to the face before going to the turnbuckle and flying off with a reverse sunset flip. He had Sheamus hooked but he couldn't pull him over. Sheamus reached down and grabbed Christian by the throat and tried to pull him up. But Christian fought him off and got up behind him, hooking his arms for the "Killswitch". Sheamus pushed out of it and went for his big bicycle kick again but Christian ducked and latched onto his arms, turning him right into the Killswitch which drove his face into the mat. Christian made the cover and got the 1............2.....................3.

Match Time: 7:44

Hudson: "Christian has done it! He has added his name to the WrestleMania Jackpot match where he will have a chance to earn a shot at one of the biggest prizes the TWF has to offer, King".

Lawler: "I can't believe it but Christian has done it! What a performance"!

"JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" PLAYED AND CHRISTIAN CELEBRATED THE WIN AND THE CROWD RESPONDED WITH A GREAT OVATION.

Hudson: "One of the more important wins in recent memory for Christian...... the Jackpot awaits".

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, MARIA IS SHOWN WALKING WHEN CM PUNK COMES UP. SHE SEEMS A LITTLE STARTLED.

CM Punk: "Ah calm down, Maria, it's just me".

Maria: "Wha..... what do you want"?

CM Punk: "What do I want? That's a question with so many answers. But tonight, I'll settle for a little small talk with you".

Maria (stops walking and looks directly at Punk): "We're over..... we've been over..... so don't do this".

CM Punk: "Who says I wanted to rekindle anything, honey? Mostly, I was just hoping you and I could still be friends. I mean, we always had that great connection and I would hate to go to Matt and tell him exactly how good the connection was".

Maria: "UGH............

ANGRY, MARIA WALKS OFF AND PUNK CRACKS A BIG SMILE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR FRONTIER AIRLINES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN NBC PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE NFL ON NBC..... COMING SOON!

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

Invitational Tag Team Tournament 2nd Round

Tyler Reks and Vance Archer vs. Knockout-Tapout Connection

Main Event returned with action in the ring and it was the ongoing tag team tournament. Two teams that would likely give The BoogeySaints fits locked horns here as Rising United's Reks and Archer of PrimeTime met Sylvester Terkay and Elijah Burke in an inter-divisional match. Most superstars in the TWF are not up to the task of trading punches with the Manbear, but Archer went blow for blow with him. After knocking Terkay back with a stiff right hand, Archer kicked him square in the jaw, knocking him into the ropes. After blasting Burke with a right hand that knocked him off the apron, Archer tagged Reks into the match and a double team ensued as they stomped on Terkay. Referee Jose Mendez got Archer out of the ring but Reks got him up and delivered a big neckbreaker drop before again putting the boots to him. Reks waited for Terkay to get up and then he entered his world, punching the body before going to the head. But Terkay took the punches and then headbutted Reks. Reks was knocked back a step or two and Terkay then landed a nasty head kick. Burke tagged into the match for the first time and he laid Reks out again with a low dropkick. He then locked in a reverse chin lock but Reks used his large frame to get up with Burke now draped over his back. He grabbed Burke by the head and flung him over his body to the mat. Reks then grabbed Burke and tried to set up a gutwrench suplex but Burke wiggled free and then ducked a clothesline. Burke then rocked Reks with a right hook, showing off his former boxing background. The shot bloodied the mouth of Reks and Burke then hit the ropes but ran right into a monstrous powerslam from T-Reks. After a big elbow drop, Reks asked Archer to put his foot up and he grabbed Burke by the back of the head, throwing him into the boot. The men representing Rising United switched out with a tag and Archer came in, whipping Burke to the ropes for a big backbody drop. Archer then taunted Terkay, trying to bait him into the ring. But that's when Reks and Archer made their mistake. As Archer distracted Mendez, Reks came into the ring and got in a few cheap shots on Burke. Mendez went over to question Reks and as he did, Terkay came in the ring from behind Archer, spun him around and connected with the Heart Punch! Burke was slow to get up but when he did, he whipped Archer into the corner and charged in with the Elijah Express, nailing his chest with both knees. Archer collapsed to the mat and Burke rolled him over, covering him for the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:10

Hudson: "The Knockout-Tapout Connection has advanced to the final four of this tournament here and what a Heart Punch from the manbear"!

Lawler: "Yep, the referee never saw it and it put Archer down for good"!

BURKE AND TERKAY CELEBRATED THE WIN AS THEIR MUSIC PLAYED, BUT THE FANS GAVE THEM LITTLE RESPONSE AS THEY NEVER SEEMED TOO INTERESTED IN EITHER TEAM.

Hudson: "The Knockout-Tapout Connection may very well be the favorite in this tournament and as far as Rising United goes, their leader, M.X. Ogden is scheduled to defend the Intercontinental title tonight against Chaos Wolf..... he'll have to hope he has a little better luck out here than Reks and Archer did".

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, PJ CASH IS STANDING BY WITH THE LEGENDARY 'MEAN' GENE OKERLUND.

Gene Okerlund: "Alright, here with me now is the man putting of fifty thousand dollars from his own bank account. PJ, would you agree that tonight, you have your biggest challenge yet for that briefcase in the form of Shelton Benjamin"?

PJ Cash: "Well if you compare him to Perry Saturn or that other guy with the mask, then yeah, it is. But Shelton, just because your seven or eight siblings need money because they're all most likely unemployed does not mean you can come knocking on my door. Tonight, I'm going to dispose of you like last night's garbage and you'll be lucky if I don't take this briefcase (lifts the briefcase up) and put a dent in your head when I'm done with you".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE STING HAS COME OUT. WEARING HIS USUAL FACEPAINT AND LONG TRENCH COAT, HE HOLDS A MICROPHONE. ABRUPTLY, HIS MUSIC STOPS PLAYING.

Sting: "As I stand here in the beautiful city of Seattle (crowd pops), I have still yet to hear a single word about The Undertaker and my match with him at WrestleMania..... and the only vision I keep getting in my head is of Travis Wakeman putting on that pair of black boxing shorts, those short black boots and shaving any of the stubble he might have on his head and having to get into the ring with me because he can't meet the stipulation of my contract. Undertaker, wherever you are, there's nothing personal in this thing, man. I just figure that at this stage of our careers, it's time to make this match happen. Wakeman told me it would happen and that's why I came here. I'm not tryin' to............

JUST THEN, A SCRATCHY VOICE INTERRUPTS STING's SPEECH.

Voice: "Sting! Hey..... over here.........Jake Roberts: "Don't put this all on Wakeman..... The Undertaker is a very unpredictable man. Now, I've known you a long time and I know who you really are. I know you think you have this dark side about you, but I still see the young man from California with the Bart Simpson hairdo..... let's be honest, there's no dark side to you".

Sting: "I wouldn't bet on that, Snakeman".

Jake Roberts: "This is the match that you think you want.... to make all these people happy, right?

THE CROWD CHEERS

But there's an old saying that you need to be careful what you wish for. Let's say the match does happen..... what will it do to the legacy of the Stinger if The Undertaker comes to Denver and hands you your ass.... huh"?!

Sting: "That's a risk I'm willing to take in order to bring one of the biggest matches in history to the biggest event in the world".

Jake Roberts: "You just don't get it...... that you have nothing to prove. But if this is the match you want..... don't leave it up to Wakeman to find the deadman..... leave it up to me. Because if there is one thing that is true, it's that I do have a dark side..... more so even than The Undertaker himself. So if you want this match, I'll produce the deadman..... I'll make sure The Undertaker gets to Denver".

Sting: "And what's in it for you..... why do you have any interest in this"?

Jake Roberts: "Well, you yourself say that it's the biggest match in history...... so I'll trust you..... if you trust me".

ROBERTS LAYS THE MICROPHONE DOWN IN THE RING AND SLOWLY LEAVES IT, NEVER TAKING HIS EYES OFF STING.

Hudson: "Is it just me, or did things just get incredibly weird"?

Lawler: "Well weird may be Jake Roberts' middle name.... but this is definitely a strange set of circumstances".

Hudson: "I'm asking the same thing Sting did..... what's in it for Roberts"?!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

COMMERCIALS FOR REVLON AND NISSAN ARE SHOWN.

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

WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, CARNEY IS SHOWN HEADING TO THE RING WHEN ALBA RIOS COMES RUNNING UP.

Alba Rios: "Hey...... before you go out there, I have something I have to tell you".

Carney: "Can it wait..... I have a match here".

Alba Rios: "I've been trying to tell you for weeks..... I'm pregnant".

CARNEY's JAW LITERALLY DROPS. HE DOESN'T EVEN GIVE ALBA AN ANSWER, JUST HEADS TO THE RING IN SHOCK.

KOFI KINGSTON's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MAJOR CHEER AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

Hudson: "So that's what Alba Rios has been trying to tell Carney! It looks like a new member of The Empire is on the way"!

Lawler: "Yeah but I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed Carney's lack of enthusiasm with that announcement".

THE EMPIRE THEME COMES ON AND CARNEY COMES OUT FROM THE BACK AND IT's CLEAR THAT HE HAS PLENTY ON HIS MIND.

Hudson: "It may have been a bad time for his girlfriend to reveal that to him because right now, this is a WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying match"!

Lawler: "And not only does Carney have to think about this life changing news, but he has to find a way to defeat one of the most gifted superstars in all of the TWF, Kofi Kingston".

Hudson: "If Kingston knew about this announcement, he'd probably give Alba Rios a big hug himself! Carney's mind isn't out here, folks".

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying Match

Kofi Kingston vs. Carney

A collar and elbow tie up started the match and Kingston used a quick arm drag to take Carney to the mat. Carney got up but went right into another one as Kingston cinched in a top wristlock. Carney spun free and then got to his feet, pushing Kofi into the ropes. He shot him to the other side but missed with a clothesline. As Kofi came off the other side, Carney went for a swinging backhand but missed with that as well and Kofi hit the ropes one more time, drilling Carney with a dropkick. He then positioned himself and got the crowd involved, "Boom, Boom, Boom", they all chanted before Kofi landed the Boom Drop. He went into the cover, looking for a quick win, but Carney kicked out at 2 and a half. Following the very near finish, Kofi got up and pressed Carney into the corner, looking to whip him to the far side. When he did, Carney jumped up on the turnbuckle and came off with a corkscrew attack that nailed Kofi coming in. Finally it looked like their may be some fight in Carney. After landing a nice spinning legdrop, Carney got Kingston up and whipped him to the ropes, catching him with a flying heel kick. He went for the cover but could only get a 2 count. The match continued at a fast pace with both men going for the quick knockout blow. After delivering a DDT, Carney went to the top rope and flew off but Kofi knocked him right out of the air with the "Trouble in Paradise"! The fans were on their feet as he went into a cover, hooking a leg to get the win.

Match Time: 6:40

Hudson: "Oh what a shot! He may have just knocked Carney into Tacoma with that"!

Lawler: "Kofi Kingston has qualified for the WrestleMania Jackpot match and Carney, well he has a lot to think about now"!

JUST THEN, ALBA RIOS STEPS OUT ON STAGE WITH A MICROPHONE.

Alba Rios: "No..... no! That doesn't count! I want this match re-started right now"!

Hudson: "What?! She can't do that"!

REFEREE MARTY ELIAS IS IN THE RING WAVING HIS HANDS THAT THE MATCH IS OVER. FROM BEHIND, CARNEY CRAWLS ACROSS THE RING AND LOWBLOWS KOFI WITH HIS FOREARM, DOUBLING THE WINNER OF THE MATCH OVER IN PAIN.

Alba Rios: "I'm telling you right now, referee..... re-start this match or you won't have a job tomorrow"!

Lawler: "Alba Rios is using her authority within The Empire"!

FRUSTRATED, ELIAS TURNS AROUND AND ASKS FOR THE BELL AS THE MATCH APPARENTLY RESTARTS. CARNEY THEN GRABS KINGSTON AND HITS THE "C-DRIVE" TO GET THE WIN.

Hudson: "You have got to be kidding me! This is an absolute miscarriage of justice..... why do we even have qualifying matches if they're going to go like this"!

AN ELATED ALBA RIOS RUNS HALFWAY DOWN THE RAMP AND JUMPS IN THE VICTORIOUS CARNEY's ARMS.

Lawler: "Carney is going to WrestleMania and it's all because of his affiliation with the group that runs this company"!

Hudson: "Well there is a shot of the new parents to be and I gotta say, they make me sick"!

BACKSTAGE.......

MARIA IS SHOWN AGAIN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND RICHARD RAMSLEY COMES UP. MARIA STILL SEEMS A LITTLE DISTRAUGHT FROM HER EARLIER MEETING WITH CM PUNK.

Richard Ramsley: "Hello, Maria.... oh please, please don't be afraid".

Maria: "What do you want? I really don't have time for this".

RAMSLEY'S INITIAL CALM DEMEANOR QUICKLY CHANGES.

Richard Ramsley: "You don't have time for what? I didn't come here to cause you problems, I just came here to try and rekindle your memory. You and CM Punk used to make such a cute, happy couple".

Maria: "How would you know? Ya know, why am I even talking to you"?

MARIA TURNS AND WALKS AWAY BUT RAMSLEY COMES AFTER HER. WHEN SHE NOTICES HIM FOLLOWING, SHE STARTS TO RUN, DESPITE WEARING HEELS. RAMSLEY GIVES CHASE BUT AS MARIA RUNS THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA, SCREAMING IN TERROR, MATT CRUZ COMES RUSHING OVER. HE GRABS MARIA WITH BOTH ARMS AND RAMSLEY STOPS DEAD IN HIS TRACKS. THE CAMERA GETS A GOOD SHOT OF THE TWO MEN STARING AT EACH OTHER, ABOUT 30 FEET SEPARATING THEM. RAMSLEY TURNS AND WALKS AWAY AS CRUZ CONTINUES TO COMFORT A TERRIFIED MARIA.

Matt Cruz: "It's okay, he's gone".

"AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.

Hudson: "Poor Maria, she's been traumatized tonight".

Lawler: "And Matt Cruz has a match later tonight, I wonder if he needs someone to watch over her".

Hudson: "Cruz will take part in our massive tag team main event tonight that will see him team up with John Cena to face CM Punk and Joe Corey and also still to come tonight, M.X. Ogden defends the Intercontinental title against Chaos Wolf but right now, we have our third fifty thousand dollar challenge and King, this is definitely the biggest test PJ Cash has faced for this money".

"HYSTERIA" BY MUSE COMES ON AND PJ CASH COMES OUT TO A PLETHORA OF BOOS. IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS HIS BRIEFCASE.

Lawler: "Without question, Shelton Benjamin is one of the top athletes we have here in the TWF and with the comments made earlier by PJ Cash, I'm sure he's even more ready to get his hands on the PrimeTime Prodigy".

$50,000 Challenge

Shelton Benjamin vs. PJ Cash

Before the match even became official, Cash charged across the ring with the briefcase, looking for a pre-match cheap shot. But Shelton ducked and then drilled Cash with a superkick as referee Mike Chioda called for the bell. Shelton pulled Cash up and delivered a big double underhook suplex and Cash was in a lot of trouble. From there, the man from Orangeburg, South Carolina went to the top rope and connected with a blockbuster neckbreaker. Shelton made the cover and got a 1..............2............, but that was it. Shelton pulled Cash up and whipped him to the ropes. After a kick to the abdomen, he threw another kick but Cash caught his foot. What was coming next Cash clearly had scouted and when Shelton went for his dragonwhip kick, Cash ducked and hit the "Cash Register: out of nowhere. It was the only offensive move Cash used all match but it was the only one he needed. He made the cover and got the 1...........2.............3.

Match Time: 2:29

Hudson: "Oh boy, Shelton may be out cold after the impact he made with the mat there".

Lawler: "The money stays with PJ Cash....... who is gonna step up next"?

JUST THEN, A VERY FAMILIAR LAUGH IS HEARD AND "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" STARTS TO PLAY. THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN TED DIBIASE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK IN A BLACK SUIT AND TIE AND HE GETS A FAVORABLE RESPONSE.

Hudson: "What in the..........

Lawler: "The Million Dollar Man? Oh if J.R. were here he would say that business is sure as heck picking up"!

DIBIASE GETS INTO THE RING AND LOOKS ACROSS AT CASH.

Ted Dibiase: "Fifty thousand dollars, huh? Now before I get into my speech, let me just say that I appreciate what you have done in this business, kid. I mean, you're basically a younger version of myself and I like how you do business. But let's be honest, WrestleMania is coming up and in order to attract guys that aren't named Perry Saturn or Blitzkrieg, maybe you need to up the ante. What's fifty thousand dollars to these guys these days..... a few months pay? I know you have the money and I know how big of a star you want to be...... so use your intellect and your back account........ and you'll come up with something big.

DIBIASE TURNS TO LEAVE THE RING AS THE WHEELS ARE DEFINITELY TURNING IN THE HEAD OF CASH.

Ted Dibiase: "And always remember one thing..... because at this point, there is no shadow of a doubt that it's true........... everybody's got a price................

"MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYS AGAIN AND DIBIASE LEAVES THE RING. IN THE RING, CASH LOOKS ENLIGHTENED BY HIS VISIT.

Hudson: "Well a pep talk of sorts from the man who invented the idea to use his money to buy success".

Lawler: "And why not..... if you can buy it.... I say do it! This may be just what PJ Cash needed"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR APPLEBEE's IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR PEPSI.

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

Chaos Wolf is seen leaning against a wall when Chris Tirpak comes up.

Chris Tirpak: "Hey..... good luck tonight in your match with Ogden. If you win, then you will drop this whole thing with the Empire, right"?

Chaos Wolf: "What are you talking about? My comments on PrimeTime had nothing to do with getting a shot at Ogden. Hang on.... are you telling me to ride under the radar and not cause any trouble? What did you lose your balls when won the title on your shoulder? This is bigger than the IC title belt, I can assure you of that. This whole thing is about me being pushed to the side while people with no talent get opportunity after opportunity. This whole thing is about wrestlers with a hell of a lot of talent being kept out of the company because people like Money Mike and Travis Wakeman are scared that someone like Brian Danielson or Tyler Black will steal the spotlight from them with their talent alone. Let me ask you this, Chris. Where is the guy that used to attack anyone and everyone for even looking at him the wrong way? Where is the man that did what he wanted to no matter who was in his way? Where is the man that took hold of an opportunity when he saw one? You know what it doesn't really matter that you have no answer for me but let me ask one last question. When did the man that I considered to be my best friend become a little bitch that toed the company line? Because it is obvious to me that the only wood you have is that kendo stick".

Wolf turned around and held out his arms as if asking Tirpak to hit him. After a few tense moments Tirpak walks off leaving a smirking Chaos Wolf.

Chaos Wolf: "Heh, I knew he no longer had any guts and is merely a pawn for The Empire.........

JUST THEN, CHAOS WOLF HAS STEPHANIE McMAHON STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

Stephanie McMahon: "The Empire decided to give you one of those so-called opportunities tonight...... my suggestion to you is to not worry about anyone but yourself..... and to go make the most of it".

Chaos Wolf: "Pshhhh.........

WOLF THEN TURNS AND WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

THE FANS IN THE ARENA ARE BOOING BECAUSE JASON OLIVER AND DREW McINTYRE HAVE COME OUT TO THE RING.

Jason Oliver: "Would you people shut up?!

THE BOOING GETS LOUDER.

I know that nothing good ever happens in this God forsaken city, but I do have a special announcement for you..........

THE CROWD CONTINUES TO BOO.

I want you all to get a good look at the new Drew McIntyre. He is no longer anyone's servant or errand boy..... he is back to being one of the top future stars in this business! Sebastian Cain could have had anything he wanted by using this man's incredible skills, but instead he tried to make a mockery out of him! But that's obviously not the only mistake Cain has made in his career.

THE FANS CHEER AT THAT STATEMENT.

That's where Cain and I differ...... you see, I will use this man's potential and together we will both rise to the top of the TWF..... and it starts with you at WrestleMania, Cain. I will no longer.........

JUST THEN, BREAKING GLASS IS HEARD AND STEVE AUSTIN COMES OUT TO AN AMAZING POP.

Hudson: "Oh boy...........

Steve Austin: "Did I just hear the two of you say that you were going to become the top stars in the TWF........ did I just hear you taking shots at Sebastian Cain? That's awful brave of ya when you know he is doing promotional appearances for WrestleMania. But ya know what, that's fine, because I have a way to fix you both tonight. I think it's time to raise the stakes at WrestleMania so let's do this. Oliver, your match with Sebastian Cain at WrestleMania has now been made into a number one contender's match for the TWF World title"!

THE CROWD LET's OUT A HUGE CHEER BUT OLIVER SEEMS JUST AS HAPPY WITH THAT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Lawler: "Wow..... that's huge"!

Steve Austin: "Now I'm not sure about all these great people here in Seattle, but I sure would like to see the new Drew McIntyre in action, so I've found a couple of guys for the two of you to face...... right now"!

"I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED COMES ON AND THE BOOGEYSAINTS COME OUT FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH MONICA TO A HUGE POP.

Hudson: "It's the TWF Tag Team champions........

THE BOOGEYMAN AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES HEAD STRAIGHT FOR THE RING AND GET IN. McINTYRE AND OLIVER COME RIGHT AT THEM AND THE FIGHT IS ON. OLIVER GETS A THUMB INTO THE BOOGEYMAN's EYE AND HE AND McINTYRE BEGIN TO WORK ON THE SAINT. BUT BOOGEYMAN RECOVERS, SPINNING McINTYRE AROUND AND SMASHING HIM WITH A DOUBLE CHOP TO THE THROAT AREA. THE SAINT THEN GETS IN A BIG KNEE TO THE STOMACH OF OLIVER BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND LAUNCHING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE. AS BOOGEYMAN STARTS TO DO HIS BODY GYRATIONS IN THE RING, THE SAINT GETS McINTYRE AND HOISTS HIM TO HIS SHOULDERS, DELIVERING "DEATH TO HUMANITY"! THE CROWD IS LOVING IT AS "I WILL BE HEARD" STARTS TO PLAY AGAIN.

Hudson: "The tag team champions have rained on the parade of Oliver and the new Drew McIntyre"!

Lawler: "I'll say..... I think McIntyre was treated better by Sebastian Cain than he just was there"!

Hudson: "Well let's not let Stone Cold's major announcement get lost in the shuffle here. At WrestleMania, Jason Oliver's match with Sebastian Cain is now a number one contender's match for the TWF World title...... what a huge opportunity for those two men".

Lawler: "Wait a minute, The BoogeySaints have a microphone now too".

Eddie Saint James: "Thirty one months.......... over two and a half years....... The Boogeyman and I have held these tag team championships. No one has come close to taking them yet still...... STILL........ we hear the people that doubt us. We hear the people that say we're not a good team..... that we're some kind of circus act..... some kind of a joke. And that is exactly why we threw out the challenge that we did for ANY team in the world to step up and try to take these belts. We don't care who it is...... Kings of Wrestling...... Knockout-Tapout Connection, Rock N Roll Express, Midnight Express, Dudley Boyz, The Rockers, Hart Foundation..... we just don't care. And when this tournament is over and one of you teams has to stare Boogey and I in the face..... you're gonna find out the same thing that every other team over the last thirty one months has found out"!

THE CROWD CHEERS AND THE SAINT HANDS THE MICROPHONE TO HIS WIFE MONICA.

Monica: "And one other thing, Stephanie..... if you have something to say to me..... don't have one of the divas do it..... you're the billion dollar princess, right? Come say it to my face"!

MONICA TOSSES THE MIC AT THE MAT AS "I WILL BE HEARD" COMES ON ONE MORE TIME AND THE TRIO LEAVES THE RING.

Lawler: "Has it really been thirty one months? Wow".

Hudson: "Confidence along with a little bit of frustration is clearly oozing from the pores of the tag team champions and Monica, this is a very interesting situation to keep our eyes on".

Lawler: "Which, the tag team tournament or Monica calling out Stephanie McMahon the way she just did"?

Hudson: "Well.... both".

BACKSTAGE.......

ALBA RIOS IS SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE BACK, LOOKING DOWN TOWARDS HER STOMACH AND SMILING. BUT SHE STOPS WHEN SHE RUNS INTO STEVE AUSTIN.

Steve Austin: "You thought that was cute what you did out there, huh"?

Alba Rios: "I wasn't trying to be cute.... I was......

Steve Austin: "Ah shut up! I've already talked this over with the rest of the Board of Directors and you can go and tell the rest of your Empire buddies. I can't take Carney out of the WrestleMania Jackpot, but I can take the idea of you ever doing that again away for good. So from this moment forward, there will never be a change to an initial referee's decision again..... now get outta my face".

ALBA GIVES AUSTIN ONE OF THOSE "IF LOOKS COULD KILL" GLANCES BEFORE WALKING PAST HIM.

BACK TO THE RING WHERE COLT CABANA IS INSIDE GETTING LOOSE. THE FANS CHEER WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK.

Hudson: "Wait a minute, what is this"?

Lawler: "Colt Cabana is supposed to be out here for a match.... what is Rockwell doing"?

JORDAN ROCKWELL GETS INTO THE RING AND TACKLES CABANA. THE TWO STRUGGLE ON THE MAT FOR A MINUTE UNTIL ROCKWELL TURNS HIM OVER AND LOCKS IN THE SAME SUBMISSION HOLD WE SAW HIM PUT ON ZACK RYDER ON THE LAST PRIMETIME. CABANA TRIES HARD TO FIGHT IT, BUT ROCKWELL PULLS BACK ON IT EVEN MORE. CABANA IS TAPPING OUT BUT ROCKWELL WON'T RELEASE THE HOLD. FINALLY, CABANA PASSES OUT.

Hudson: "Jordan Rockwell has completely snapped..... I've never seen him like this before"!

ROCKWELL IS HANDED A MICROPHONE.

Rockwell: "I hope you guys will forgive me but I got tired of waiting........

The fans cheer

On PrimeTime Gundam, you said that you didn't care how anyone felt about what you did and well I take great offense to that, but I will address that on PrimeTime. Again going back to that night, you also said you came back to stop the heartbeat of the TWF. The fans boo....

I'll take that as a complement! And secondly, I do anxiously await your attempt at trying because fact is number one, you are right when you say I've been here all these years for the fans and for the TWF as a whole.

The fans cheer and begin a chant of "Thank you Rockwell".......

No thanks needed! Ya see while Wakeman cried the blues and ran home in a moment of fake, I stayed! And when you were lying like a rug about being dead, I was here! And I was here busting my ass along with John Cena, Edge and countless others over the years for these people and for the locker rooms.

ANOTHER LOUD POP RINGS OUT

I've given my life, my body, my heart and soul along with my blood and broken bones to this business, these people and this company and I always will, so you come to WrestleMania and you try to put me down.... cause just like everyone before you and much like the great Travis Wakeman....... you are going to fail.

The fans cheer.....

As for you, Ryder, all you are is guilty by association, just like anyone else who is or wants to associate with The Empire! So tonight, I finish the job unfortunately for you, but I will finish the job. And Wakeman....... as you can see I've had a conversation with Wolf about our little secret and I have to say I'm really surprised at your unwillingness to do the right thing, it's just a shame that you put these boys through this for your gutlessness! But it's okay because I'm not gonna forget and I won't let you either".

"OHHHHHHHHHH RADIO" COMES ON AND ZACK RYDER STEPS OUT, POINTING AND TRASH TALKING ROCKWELL AS HE HEADS TO THE RING.

Lawler: "What is Rockwell talking about? He seems to be insinuating that he has something on Wakeman but my whole thing is if he does, Wakeman has not had a rebuttal at all".

Hudson: "Rockwell does seem to be implying something like that, but right now, he's got Zack Ryder heading to the ring to face him and it was Ryder, much like it was Colt Cabana who have asked The Empire for opportunities of late and Rockwell is taking that out on them".

Lawler: "What a huge feather in the cap it would be for Ryder if he could pull of a victory here".

Jordan Rockwell vs. Zack Ryder

Ryder came right at Rockwell but ate a right hand. Rockwell stung him with 3 more before shooting him to the ropes for a big powerslam. Full of anger, Rockwell was just all over Ryder. After a nasty neckbreaker, he pulled him up and whipped him to the corner. But when Rockwell charged in, Ryder stuck a foot in his face before grabbing him and throwing him shoulder first into the ring post. After an armbar DDT, Ryder was finally able to take a bit of a breather and collect his thoughts. He moved in on Rockwell when he got up, tagging him with a few punches. He then grabbed him in a front facelock but Rockwell countered into a backdrop suplex. He then picked Ryder up, grabbing him by the back of the head and rammed his face into the top turnbuckle. But once he got started, he couldn't stop. The crowd was counting the hits against the turnbuckle but even they had a hard time keeping up. In all, Ryder's head hit the pad anywhere from 40-50 times and he looked like he was knocked silly. Rockwell then grabbed him, delivering a swinging sidewalk slam with plenty of authority. With Ryder pretty much defeated at this point, Rockwell just sat next to him as he lay on the mat before slowly getting up and pulling Ryder to his feet. The "Eternal Flame" came next and you could have probably counted to 100 and Rockwell had his hand raised.

Match Time: 4:39

But before Rockwell could do any celebrating of his music could play, the sound of clapping could be heard over the loudspeakers, followed by the familiar voice of Gundam.

Gundam: "Well done, Rockwell, well done. But if you think you choking that man out or pinning this guy has me worried, think again. I'm coming to WrestleMania to do what I said I was going to do. You don't seem to understand, Jordan. This is not about pinfalls and submissions. I could care less whether I win or lose. The TWF needs to think long and hard about this match because it's not even about the TWF....... it's only about you. At WrestleMania, I am coming to hurt you..... I am coming to do permanent physical damage to you and for me, there will be no consequence that matters. Think long and hard, TWF...... think long and hard, Rockwell...... think long and hard about whether you really want to do this or not".

THE SOUND OF GUNDAM's MICROPHONE CUTTING OUT IS HEARD AND ROCKWELL LOOKS AROUND THE ARENA, WONDERING WHAT THE FANS ARE THINKING.

Hudson: "This is getting very, very weird".

Lawler: "Those may have been the most disturbing words we've ever heard before in the TWF".

Hudson: "I'm wondering if Jordan Rockwell even knows what he's dealing with here..... does this company even know what they're dealing with"?!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR K-MART IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR SUNDAY NIGHT NFL FEATURING THE JETS VS. THE COWBOYS IN THE SEASON OPENER.

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

WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR COMES ON AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD POP.

Hudson: "We are back for TWF Main Event and we are set for one of tonight's feature matches. Chaos Wolf had some very harsh words for The Empire on PrimeTime and for whatever reason, they have decided to reward him for it".

Lawler: "Look, Scott, The Empire is not some shady operation like people like Jordan Rockwell try to make them out to be. Chaos Wolf felt he has been passed over too many times for an opportunity so they decided to give him one".

Hudson: "Are you sure about that? Because I call PrimeTime and I seem to remember Wolf defeating Chris Jericho to earn himself a future Intercontinental title shot".

"CAPRICORN" BY 30 SECONDS TO MARS COMES ON AND M.X. OGDEN COMES OUT WITH AJ LEE. HE HAS A BLACK BANDANA OVER HIS FACE AND THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST.

Lawler: "Speaking of opportunities, what about the opportunity that this man has been given for WrestleMania"?!

Hudson: "We found out that it was M.X. Ogden who attacked John Cena at DoomsDay, putting him out of action for months, but we have yet to find out why".

Lawler: "And I have been told that both Cena and Ogden have been warned not to interfere in each other's matches tonight and if they do, they'll be removed from the triple threat match for the Universal title at WrestleMania".

Hudson: "There has to be a lot on the mind of Ogden...... will he be able to focus on the challenge of a primed and ready Chaos Wolf"?

TWF Intercontinental Title Match

Challenger: Chaos Wolf vs. M.X. Ogden w/ AJ Lee

As Wolf was given a look at the IC title by referee Charles Robinson, Ogden cheap shotted him with a right hand on the jaw. He then went for an irish whip but Wolf reversed it and delivered a massive spinebuster. Wolf followed up with back to back elbow drops before pulling Ogden up and whipping him into the corner. Wolf moved in and used his shoulders and drove them into the abdomen of the champion before grabbing him under the right shoulder and flinging him across the ring. AJ got up on the apron but Wolf grabbed her by the hair. Ogden got up and came from behind with a flying knee to the back of the Wolf before twisting his right arm back and landing a hook kick right across the face. Ogden checked with AJ to make sure she was OK before going to the top rope. Before he could take flight, though, Wolf recovered and fell into the ring ropes, knocking Ogden down to a crotched position. Wolf then rocked Ogden with a pair of right hands before climbing up the turnbuckle with him and delivering a huge superplex. The crowd was cheering as Wolf rolled over onto Ogden, covering him for a 1.............2........, but Ogden got his right shoulder up. Wolf got up and pulled Ogden to his feet. He picked him up and set him on the top rope again. It looked like Wolf had another superplex in mind and this one was sure to take everything out of the champion. Ogden sensed it and punched Wolf in the ribs a couple of times before pushing him to the mat. Ogden then jumped off, jumping over Wolf and landing on his feet. Wolf turned and threw a shuffle side kick but Ogden avoided it and caught him with the "Memory Maker" out of nowhere. The fans seemed very surprised by the suddenness of the move, but Ogden went into a cover and hooked the leg for the 1...............2......................3!

Match Time: 3:18

Hudson: "Ogden has retained the title with an incredible Memory Maker! That struck like a bolt of lightning"!

AJ WENT OVER TO THE TIMEKEEPER AND SNATCHED THE BELT BEFORE GETTING INTO THE RING AND JUMPING INTO THE ARMS OF OGDEN AS "CAPRICORN" CAME ON AGAIN.

Lawler: "I wonder what Chaos Wolf will have to say to The Empire now! He can't say they didn't give him a chance! Maybe The Empire will create the world's largest muzzle"!

Hudson: "An impressive title defense for Ogden who can now fully turn his attention to the triple threat match at WrestleMania".

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

IT SEEMS A SNEAKY CAMERAMAN HAS MOVED IN AND CAUGHT A CONVERSATION BETWEEN CM PUNK AND RICHARD RAMSLEY. RAMSLEY IS IN DEFENSE MODE, BEING BERATED BY PUNK.

CM Punk: "I just don't know what the hell you're thinking....... I told you, I don't need you..... and I sure as hell don't want her getting hurt"!

Richard Ramsley: "I'm sorry, my intentions were not to.......

CM Punk: "Just shut up. I'm tired of your excuses and lame explanations for your weird personality. I have a World title match to get ready for at WrestleMania, not to mention a huge tag team match tonight. Why don't you run along and go dress up like Peter Pan or something".

RAMSLEY STORMS OFF AND THE CAMERAMAN HURRIES AWAY, OBVIOUSLY NOT WANTING TO BE SEEN.

BACK IN THE RING, KAYLA KARTER HAS COME OUT IN HER GEAR EVEN THOUGH SHE's NOT SCHEDULED TO COMPETE. SHE HAS THE WOMEN's TITLE OVER HER SHOULDER AND A MICROPHONE IN HAND.

Hudson: "A very tense situation between Punk and Ramsley there and that just seems like a situation ready to explode".

Kayla Karter: "Please people, don't turn the channel because of what you're about to see, because this is still a wrestling show..... but I noticed something while sitting in the back that has nothing to do with this business and I want to make sure it get out! So security, please help that woman into the ring, the one I pointed out to you. She's the one right there in like the third row, in the green".

Lawler: "It seems our Women's champion is calling one of our fans into the ring".

A MEMBER OF THE ARENA EVENT STAFF HELPS A VERY LARGE CHESTED BRUNETTE UP OVER THE GUARDRAIL.

Kayla Karter: "Yeah come on, it's okay, honey, c'mon into the ring".

ALL SMILES, THE WOMAN WALKS UP THE STAIRS AND INTO THE RING AS THE CROWD APPLAUDS AND WHISTLES.

Kayla Karter: "So, what is your name".

Woman: "My name is Gianna Michaels".

Kayla Karter: "And what is it that you do for a living? Actually, don't answer that, I'll tell everyone what you do. Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at a real life porn star, complete with fake boobs"!

Jerry Lawler: "Really? Hudson, hand me that laptop".

Kayla Karter: "Now I've read about porn stars trying to break into this business before and I'm here to tell you that I'm not havin' it...... this great industry does not reward people for being nasty, disgusting whores"!

WITH THAT, GIANNA MICHAELS SHOVES KAYLA BUT THE WOMEN's CHAMPION RESPONDS BY SLAPPING HER AND THEN DROPPING HER WITH A KICK TO THE HEAD.

Hudson: "Oh come on..... this is unnecessary"!

THE CROWD STARTS TO CHANT "GINA" AS KARTER STANDS OVER THE FALLEN GIANNA MICHAELS. MICHAELS SLOWLY STARTS TO GET UP BUT IS PUT RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH THE "KAY KICK", BRINGING ON A TON OF BOOS.

Hudson: "Someone stop this! Kayla Karter is assaulting one of our guests here tonight, who I'm told is from right here in Seattle"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute, Hudson, look at this".

THE TWF TRON COMES ON SHOWING KHARMA STANDING OVER GINA CARANO IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA. CARANO IS FACE DOWN ON THE FLOOR. "HELP I'M ALIVE" BY METRIC PLAYS AND KAYLA KARTER LEAVES TO A LOT OF HEAT AS EMTs RUSH DOWN TO THE RING TO CHECK ON GIANNA MICHAELS.

Hudson: "Gina Carano has been attacked by Kayla Karter's muscle known as Kharma........

Lawler: "I just hope that poor girl is okay in the ring, I wonder if she needs mouth to mouth".

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR FANTASY FOOTBALL ON CBS SPORTS.COM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A WRESTLEMANIA PROMO FOR JASON OLIVER VS. SEBASTIAN CAIN.

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

WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, THE TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT HAS STARTED...........

Matt "Madik" Cruz and John Cena vs. CM Punk and "The Show" Joe Corey

Cruz and Corey exchanged several holds and put on some great chain wrestling to start the match. Corey missed with a clothesline off an irish whip but hit the ropes on the other side and caught Cruz coming in with a flying knee to the face. Punk then slapped the shoulder of Corey to tag himself into the match and he seemed very eager to get his hands on Cruz. After several leg kicks, he struck the World champion with a spinning backhand that caught him in the right ear. Punk then shot Cruz into the corner and flew in with a flying knee. A wad of saliva flew from the mouth of Cruz before Punk loaded up a running bulldog, driving Cruz face first into the mat. Punk made the cover and got 1...............2........., but Cruz was up. Punk pulled Cruz up and tried to get him up on his shoulders but Cruz slipped off and countered into a backslide for a 2 count of his own. Both men got up and Punk was first to strike, catching Cruz with a kick to the chest. He then went and tagged in the Universal champion Corey who came in and kept the pressure on Cruz. Corey and Punk made several tags and were just all over Cruz but 'Madik' was finally able to turn things around when he moved out of the way of a flying elbow drop off the top rope from Punk. Cruz made it to his corner to tag in a fired up Cena who came in hitting Punk and Corey with right hands. After 2 stiff clotheslines on Punk, Cena hit the ropes and landed a flying shoulder tackle. He then delivered a spinning sideslam and was all set for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Things were looking grim for Punk but Corey ran around the outside of the ring, yanking Cruz off the apron. Corey then got into the ring and Cruz started to follow but referee Jim Korderas stopped him. Corey then nailed Cena from behind and clapped his hands together as if to signify a tag had been made. Punk rolled out of the ring and Corey kicked Cena in the groin when he got up before delivering the "Showstopper". Korderas turned around as Corey rolled Cena over and hooked his leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 9:45

Lawler: "Joe Corey has just pinned one of the men he'll be facing at WrestleMania"!

Hudson: "It's safe to say the referee completely lost control of this one and the Universal champ took advantage".

Lawler: "Wait a minute, Randy Orton's out here"!

RANDY ORTON HAD COME TO THE RING AND WAS PERCHED BEHIND CM PUNK, MEASURING HIM FOR THE "RKO". BUT BEFORE HE COULD DELIVER IT, RICHARD RAMSLEY CAME OUT AND GOT INTO THE RING, ATTACKING ORTON FROM BEHIND. PUNK SAW THIS AND HE AND RAMSLEY BEGAN TO TEAR INTO ORTON, KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE RING. PUNK's RELIEF WAS VERY TEMPORARY THOUGH AS RAMSLEY KICKED HIM IN THE GUT AND DELIVERED THE "FLATLINER" DDT, SILENCING THE CROWD.

Lawler: "Oh what the hell..............

Hudson: "Richard Ramsley just laid out CM Punk..... after all that time trying to convince him he needs his services"!

RAMSLEY LEFT THE RING AND GOT A MIC.

Richard Ramsley: "Ya see, Punk, it can go one of two ways at WrestleMania....... you decide".

Lawler: "Is that an ultimatum"?

Hudson: "It sure sounds like one.... Richard Ramsley is becoming a very integral part of this World title match...... and if you ask me, it's not just CM Punk who has an interest in Ramsley's thoughts now, but Matt Cruz as well"!
