We are in Saginaw, MI. And after seeing off MVP last week, CM Punk can now turn his attentions to the triple threat match at Wrestlemania. Tazz: Right but we both know that the challengers for that title, Burke and Benjamin, are going to have something to say about the match tonight. Styles: Our main event tonight features both our number on contenders, as Burke and Benjamin take on the champion CM Punk and the Animal, Batista. Tazz: What a match that’s going to be. Styles: But up first, a money in the bank qualifying match. John Morrison takes on ECW Original Tommy Dreamer. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TommyDreamer.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JohnMorrison-11.jpg[/IMG] [B]'Money In The Bank Qualifier' Tommy Dreamer v John Morrison[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* Styles: Could you imagine if Tommy Dreamer can win this and go to Wrestlemania to take part in money in the bank? Tazz: Well, you know, Money in the Bank in the past has seen some crazy stuff. We all remember Jeff Hardy last year. Who better to be in it than an Extremist like Tommy Dreamer? Styles: Well after the Miz lost to Rey Mysterio on Smackdown, John Morrison is the last hope for the tag team champions to be represented in Money in the Bank. Morrison now, using the armbar, going back to work on that shoulder. Dreamer, drives Morrison into corner, breaking the hold. Tazz: Dreamer now, firing in with the shoulder charge. Styles: Dreamer charging in, runs into a elbow. Morrison… going upstairs… corkscrew moonsault… here’s the cover, 1-2… Dreamer kicks out. Tazz: Man, Tommy Dreamer, running on guts and determination here. Styles: Morrison now, looking to… no, kick by Dreamer, looking for that DDT. Tazz: Is he going to do it? Styles: No… Morrison reverses it… oh, corkscrew neckbreaker. Here’s the cover, 1-2-3. What move by John Morrison. And now Morrison qualifies for Money in the Bank at Wresttlemania. Tazz: Great effort by Tommy Dreamer but that arm just had too much taken out of it, he couldn’t get that DDT and Morrison countered it for the win. Styles: And… oh c’mon not again. Big Daddy V and Matt Striker. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/BigDaddyV.jpg[/IMG] Tazz: What the hell is this guys problem? Styles: I think this is the third week in a… wait a minute, Dreamer with a chair… shot to V! Dreamer was ready for him this week. Tazz: Dreamer just unloading on him. Styles: Dreamer, with repeated chair shots to V... but from behind, Matt Striker. Down goes Dreamer. V now… oh, Dreamer just crushed by V. Tazz: These two have gotta meet in the ring cos this is getting ridiculous. [B]John Morrison beat Tommy Dreamer (B-)[/B] ---- *We cut backstage to Armando Estrada* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ArmandoAlejandroEstrada.jpg[/IMG] Estrada: Hey… CM Punk, amigo… congratulations successfully defending your ECW Title last week against MVP. How about a victory cigar? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/CMPunk.jpg[/IMG] Punk: Uh… no… I don’t smoke. Estrada: Si, si… OK. What can I do for you? Punk: I want to know why Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin have just been named as the number one contenders for Wrestlemania? I mean what, don’t we earn those things any more? Estrada: Listen amigo… if I decide to name the number one contenders, then I will do it. You should worry about our match tonight. Punk: Listen Estrada… when me and Batista beat Burke and Benjamin tonight… I’m going to prove that it doesn’t matter who many contenders you name… I’m leaving Wrestlemania as the champ. Styles: Well the ECW Champion is right, why have Burke and Benjamin simply been named the number one contenders, there should’ve been some sort of number one contenders match. Tazz: Well… I guess our general manager decided otherwise. Styles: Well we’ll see those three men in the ring later tonight in that tag team match. But up next, it’s Matt Striker’s other client, the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry, as he takes on Tazz’s favourite superstar, The Boogeyman. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MarkHenry.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Boogeyman.jpg[/IMG] [B]Mark Henry v The Boogeyman[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* Tazz: God this Boogeyman really freaks the hell out of me. Styles: Well you saw the looks the World’s Strongest Man had on his face as he entered the ring, he’s pretty freaked out as well. Henry now, locking on that bear hug, squeezing the life out of the Boogeyman. Tazz: How the hell are you meant to break out of this hold? Styles: The King of the Jungle, just tossing Boogeyman to the mat. Now, coming off the ropes and… a huge splash. This could be over. Here’s the cover, 1-2-3. It is over, and Mark Henry looked absolutely dominant out there. Tazz: Well the World’s Strongest Man, now under the guidance of Matt Striker. Is Mark Henry going to make a name for himself here on ECW? [B]Mark Henry beat The Boogeyman (C)[/B] ---- *We cut backstage to Anastacia Rose* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AnastaciaRose-11.jpg[/IMG] Rose: Please welcome my guests at this time, the number one contenders for the ECW Title, Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke. Burke, Benjamin, who do you guys feel ahead of your match tonight against the ECW Champion CM Punk and the Animal Batista? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SBenjamin2_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Benjamin: First off, I want to say to Batista, that you got no right getting involved in our business. Your problem is with Kevin Thorn. We got nothing to do with you. When CM Punk asked you to be his partner tonight, you should’ve said no. No… you going to pay the price. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/elijahburke3tr31.jpg[/IMG] Burke: And as for CM Punk, you want to go whining to Armando Estrada that we shouldn’t be the number one contenders for Wrestlemania? Well guess what? We are, and there’s nothing you can do about it. And when I become ECW Champion… Benjamin: Whoa, hold up. What you mean you’re going to be champ? Burke: Listen man… we talked about this. We said we wouldn’t… Benjamin: I know what we said but I don’t remember saying that… Styles: Well, uh. Thanks Anastacia. Tazz… sounds to me like dissension between the number one contenders. Tazz: Well we knoe these two guys are usually on the same page, but it didn’t sound like it there. Styles: And that could play into CM Punk’s favour at Wrestlemania. These two guys could spend so much time arguing with each other that CM Punk could take advantage. But after the break, it’s a first appearance on Sci-Fi for Chuck Palumbo, as he takes on the man who will face Batista at Wrestlemania, Kevin Thorn. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ChuckPalumbo-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/KevinThorn101.jpg[/IMG] [B]Chuck Palumbo v Kevin Thorn[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* Styles: And we have said before Tazz, Kevin Thorn has come back with a meaner look and a meaner attitude. Tazz: He’s a lot more focused now. He was really focused on winning the ECW Title, didn’t quite work out for him. Now he’s focused on beating Batista at Wrestlemania. Styles: Thorn, sends Palumbo to the ropes, Chuck misses with the boot, Thorn with the clothesline. Down goes Palumbo. Thorn now, off the ropes, down hard with the knee to the face. Tazz: This is a real good match up for Thorn, Palumbo is a big brawler , not too dissimilar to Batista. This is a good test for him. Styles: Palumbo back to his feet, Thorn looking for that… crucifix powrbomb. What a devastating move. Here’s the cover, 1-2-3. And once again, Kevin Thorn uses that crucifix powerbomb to take the win. Tazz: Is that what is facing Batista at Wrestlemania? [B]Kevin Thorn beat Chuck Palumbo (B-)[/B] ---- *We cut backstage to Anastacia Rose* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AnastaciaRose-11.jpg[/IMG] Rose: Please welcome my guests at this time, the ECW Champion CM Punk and the Animal Batista. Punk, Batista, how are you guys feeling ahead of your match with Burke and Benjamin? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/CMPunk.jpg[/IMG] Punk: Burke, Benjamin… after tonight, you two are going to wish you never bothered asking to face me at Wrestlemania. Tonight, me and Batista are going to get Extreme with you two. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Batista7.jpg[/IMG] Batista: Burke, Benjamin, when CM Punk asked me to be his partner tonight, you guys had a problem. You had a problem with me. And Kevin Thorn… I hope you watch this match tonight. Then you’ll se what’s in store for you at Wrestlemania. Styles: Well Punk and Batista sounding very confident. Can Burke and Benjamin continue to work together after their argument earlier? Or will they be easy prey for the champ and the Animal, we’ll find out next! [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/CMPunk.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Batista7.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/elijahburke3tr31.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SBenjamin2_ndp.jpg[/IMG] [B]CM Punk and Batista v Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* Styles: The ECW Champion has been the target of Burke and Benjamin for the majority of this match. Batista has been on the sidelines for most of this match. Burke and Benjamin have kept the champ grounded and they have kept the pressure on. Tazz: Well it’s smart strategy. If you’ve got a big match against CM Punk at Wrestlemnia, wouldn’t you take the chance to punish him in a tag team match? Styles: I guess I would yeah. Benjamin, tags in Burke. Elijah Burke now, using kicks to the midsection. And now Burke looking to go to work on the knee of the champion. Setting it up in the corner and, all of Elijah Burkes body weight just crashed down on that knee. Tazz: And again, Burke and Benjamin are looking to do some long term damage here. Hoping to injure the champ and hoping it’s something that’ll last to Wrestlemania. Styles: Burke working on the knee, Batista anxiously waiting for his chance to get back in there. Burke, sending Punk off the ropes, Punk ducks the clothesline… oh, what a kick by CM Punk both men down now. Tazz: CM Punk’s got to make a tag now. Styles: Both men crawling towards there corners. Tag made, here come Benjamin, here comes the Animal. Batista is in. Hits the clothesline. Burke back up. Down he goes. Batista building momentum for his team. Benjamin back up, he takes a spear! The Animal is clearing house out there. Tazz: Here comes Punk back in. Styles: Batista and Punk now, send Benjamin to the outside. Two on one now, the Animal and CM Punk looking to finish this match off. Burke whipped to the corner, and Batista… Benjamin tripped up Batista. Punk now charging in and, oh, misses in the corner. Tazz: Batista and Benjamin brawling on the floor out here. Styles: Punk whipped across the ring, here comes Burke and… nobody home! Elijah Burke looking for the Elijah Express but Punk saw it coming. Punk now, setting up for… GTS! Punk trying to get it… Tazz: Burke’s trying to counter it. Styles: Burke reverses it… Elijah Experience! Elijah Burke connected here’s the cover, 1-2-3! And Burke and Benjamin pick up a huge win against CM Punk and Batista. Tazz: Wow! I can’t believe they did it. Styles: What does this mean going into Wrestlemania? The champion has been pinned by one of the challengers. Tune into ECW on Sci-FI next week to find out!

However, the Kane is a veteran of the annual Wrestlemania ladder match, and will be looking to get back there this year. Can Noble elevate his career? Or will Kane prove again why he is the Big Red Machine?[/SIZE] [B]Deuce and Domino v Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore[/B] [SIZE="1"]Both these teams have been in the frame for the tag team titles, but which one of them can put themselves back in the hunt? Can Deuce and Domino follow up there win last week over Finlay? Or will the two high flyers take the next step towards tag team gold?[/SIZE] [B]Chavo Guerrero v Chuck Palumbo[/B] [SIZE="1"]Both these men have been on losing streaks lately, so something has to give tonight in a match that could see either man get back into the chase for the United States championship. Can Palumbo motor his way to victory? Or will Chavo lie, cheat and steal his way to the win? [/SIZE] [B]Matt Hardy v The Great Khali[/B] [SIZE="1"]After MVP managed to convince Vickie Guerrero to choose Khali as Hardy's opponent, will Matt be able to earn his title shot at Wrestlemania? Or will Khali be too dominant?[/SIZE] [B]Kenny Dykstra v Rey Mysterio[/B] [SIZE="1"]Both of these men qualified for Money In The Bank last week, so it will be interesting to see who wins this warm up match. Can Dykstra continue the roll he has been on lately? Or will the master of the 619 show the youngster that Wrestlemania momments have to be earned?[/SIZE] [B]Edge v Finlay[/B] [SIZE="1"]Mr McMahon continues to pile on the pressure for Finlay. After facing Big Daddy V and Decue and Domino, this week he takes on the World Heavyweight champion Edge. But Edge has been watching his back all week after the Undertaker's disappearance from the casket last week. Can Finlay take advantage and strike a blow to Mr McMahon? Or will Edge do the bosses dirty work?[/SIZE] ---- Quick Predictions: Kane v Jamie Noble Deuce and Domino v Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore Chavo Guerrero v Chuck Palumbo Matt Hardy v The Great Khali Kenny Dykstra v Rey Mysterio Edge v Finlay

Welcome to a show that could turn out to be one of the most historic episodes of Smackdown in history. Coach, last week, we saw the Undertaker literally disappear right in front of our eyes. We haven’t seen him all night. We haven’t heard from him all week. And the big question is… will we see the Undertaker at Wrestlemania? Coach: Michael, I have to believe that when the World Heavyweight champion Edge said he was going to make sure the Undertaker didn’t make it to ‘Mania that he was telling the truth. We haven’t seen or heard from the Undertaker since last week. He isn’t here tonight. And I think Edge is the man who has finally killed the Undertaker. Cole: Well when Edge said that he would… well, here comes the champion now. Edge is coming out here. And look at the smile on his face. Coach: I told you Cole, Edge delivered last week. He has every reason to be happy right now. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AdamCopeland.jpg[/IMG] Edge: Last week… I made a vow. I made a promise. I promised that the Undertake wouldn’t make it to Wrestlemania. And when I pushed that casket off the stage last week… I killed the Undertaker! Now I know that we’ve all seen the Undertaker vanish before. But this time… I know it’s the real deal. I know that at Wrestlemania… there will be no World Heavyweight title match. Infact… I’m thinking that at Wrestlemania… I’m going to give myself the night off. I’m going to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I have spoken with Vickie Guerrero… and the love of my life has assured me that if… I mean when… the Undertaker misses his match with me at ‘Mania… he will never be able to challenge for my World Heavyweight championship ever again. Also… at Wrestlemania… you’re going to see… *GONG* Coach: Oh my God! *GONG* Cole: The lights have gone out. Is he here? Is the Undertaker here tonight? *GONG* Cole: What the hell is going on here? Coach: I can’t see a thing Cole. *GONG* Cole: And the lights come back on and… well I don’t see the Undertaker. Coach: The Undertaker is dead Cole, when are you going to realise that? Edge: What the hell is going on back there? What… someone back there trying to be funny? If I find out who did that, their ass is fired! As I was saying… at Wrestlemania… not only will I have the night off… but you’re also going to see Vickie Guerrero… finally get rid of Teddy Long. When the Undertaker fails to show up for the match… Teddy… is fired! Cole: God… I had completely forgotten about that. Teddy Long staked his future on the Undertaker being able to beat Edge at Wrestlemania. Coach: Right and if… I mean when the Undertaker doesn’t make it to Wrestlemania… Teddy Long is history. ---- Cole: We’re back from commercial folks, and up next, the Big Red Machine Kane is in action, as he takes on Jamie Noble. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/GlenJacobs2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JamieNoble.jpg[/IMG] [B]‘Money In The Bank Qualifier’ Kane v Jamie Noble[/B][/CENTER] *we join the match near its conclusion* Cole: Noble now, locking on that armbar, applying the pressure to the Big Red Machine. Kane now, driving Noble into corner, breaking the hold. Coach: Both these guys could bring a lot to the Money in the Bank ladder amtch at Wrestlemania. Cole: Well Kane has been there before, and Jamie Noble is a former cruiserweight champion of course, he knows all about high flying. Coach: Right and Noble has had plenty of great matches with another man already in this years Money in the Bank in Rey Mysterio. Cole: Kane, irish whip to the corner, here comes Kane and Noble managed to get the boot up into the face. Noble comes out of the corner… runs into a powerslam. Here’s the cover, 1-2… kick out at 2 by Noble. Coach: And what an opportunity tonight for both these guys to go to Wrestlemania and participate in Money in the Bank. Cole: Could you imagine if Jamie Noble won Money in the Bank, how big a shock that would be? Coach: Why would it be a shock? Jamie Noble is a very talented wrestler. Cole: Well, I know but… well he just ran into a huge boot from Kane there. And Kane now, signalling the end for Jamie Noble. Kane, gets Noble to his feet and… here it comes… chokeslam! Here’s the cover, 1-2-3. And Kane is going to Wrestlemania. Coach: Will the Big Red Machine win the Money in the Bank? Could Kane go on and be a champion again? [B]Kane beat Jamie Noble (C)[/B] ---- *we cut backstage to Vickie Guerrero* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Vickie_Guerrero4.jpg[/IMG] Vickie: Teddy… I can’t believe you asked Vince McMahon to add that stipulation to the World Heavyweight championship match at Wrestlemania. Did you think that I wouldn’t find out about it? I hope you’re happy… cause I blame what happened to the undertaker last week on you. You put that extra pressure on Edge, and he did what he thought was right. He did it because he loves me. And the Undertaker paid the price. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TheodoreLong.jpg[/IMG] Teddy: Hold up there… I have been in this company for a long time… and in all the time I’ve been here… no-one has ever killed the Undertaker. So you and your boy Edge can walk around tellin’ everybody the Undertaker ain’t gonna be at Wrestlemania… but let me tell you somethin’ playa… he’s gonna be there. And he’s gonna kick Edge’s ass. Coach: Now how can Teddy Long say that? No-one has seen or heard from the Undertaker all week. What, Teddy Long just knows the Undertaker’s going to be there? Is he connected with the Undertaker somehow? Cole: Well I don’t know but I know this… the Undertaker has never let us down before. He has always risen to the big occasion. And there is no occasion bigger than Wrestlemania. Coach: That doesn’t answer my question Michael Cole. Do you think the Undertaker is going to be there? Cole: I hope so. Coach: That’s a no then. Cole: Well, coming up next, we have tag team action. Deuce and Domino, the men who took care of Finlay last week for Mr McMahon now go back to doubles action as the take on Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JimmySnukaJr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Domino.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Jimmy_Yang.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Shannon_Moore21.jpg[/IMG] [B]Deuce and Domino v Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore[/B][/CENTER] *we join the match near its conclusion* Cole: Here’s a cover, 1-2… kick out by Moore. Coach: Well we both know Deuce and Domino would like nothing better than to get back into the hunt for the tag team titles. Cole: Deuce now, driving the elbow into the face. Keeping the pressure on Shannon Moore. Coach: And there you see Jimmy Wang Yang in the corner, waiting for the tag. Looking to get into this match and turn things around for his team. Cole: Tag made, Domino in. Domino, sends Moore to the corner. Here comes Domino… Moore ducks out the way, Domino went flying into the corner. Moore dives and there’s the tag to Jimmy. Coach: That’s the tag they needed to make. Cole: Here comes Yang of the top rope… flying crossbody, Here’s the cover, 1-2… kick out by Domino. And Deuce trying to run in, he meets a right hand. Coach: Jimmy so hard to defend against when he flies around the ring like that. Cole: Domino sent off the ropes, ducks the clothesline and… Jimmy went for the crossbody but Domino caught him… sets him up for the crack ‘em in the mouth. Deuce with the cover, 1-2-3. It’s over. Deuce and Domino grab the win but a great effort by Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore. Coach: Great match from these two teams and I have a feeling this rivalry isn’t over yet. [B]Deuce and Domino beat Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore (B-)[/B] ---- *we cut backstage to Teddy Long* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TheodoreLong.jpg[/IMG] Teddy: Edge… what can I do for you playa? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AdamCopeland.jpg[/IMG] Edge: Listen… I got to know… have you been in contact with the Undertaker? Teddy: Why do you ask? Edge: You told Vickie earlier that you knew the Undertaker would be at Wrestlemania… I wanna know how you would know something like that. Teddy: Well… no I ain’t been in touch with the Undertaker… I don’t think anyone has. But like I said… the Deadman’s never let me down in the past… and I know he ain’t gonna let me down this time. Edge: You’re bluffing Teddy. I killed the Undertaker. There isn’t going to be a title match at Wrestlemania. And you’re not going to have a job anymore. Teddy: You sure about that playa? Coach: Teddy long has no rite in saying that to Edge. He’s the World Heavyweight champion. You don’t talk to the champion like that. Cole: But he’s right Coach. Coach: In your opinion maybe, but the Undertaker is gone for ever. That is a fact. Cole: Well up next, Chavo Guerrero, against Chuck Palumbo, a match where both of these men will look to put themselves back in contention for the United Sates championship. Palumbo and Guerrero is next.

Coach: Right and Chavo is looking introuble right now. Cole: Chuck now, sends Chavo to the ropes and… hits him with a huge boot. Down goes Chavo. Coach: Chuck Palumbo is all about power moves. Cole: Palumbo now… looking for the full throttle… wait, Chavo slips down the back… the roll up, the cover, 1-2-3! Chavo just stole one from Chuck Palumbo. Coach: Chavo with a great move to get the win there. And look at the look on Palumbo’s face. Cole: Another loss for Chuck Palumbo and he does not look happy. Coach: The frustration is really starting to boil over for Chuck Palumbo.

[IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/VinceMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] Vince: Finlay… how are you feeling huh? I mean, that was quite the beating you took last week from Deuce and Domino. But… I have an idea that’ll make things a whole lot better for you. Finlay: Oh yeah? What’s that? Vince: Well… I was thinking that tonight… you could have a match against… the World Heavyweight champion Edge. Have a nice night. Cole: And Vince McMahon again trying to intimidate, trying to hurt Finlay ahead of the Hornswoggle Custody Battle at Wrestlemania. Coach: Right but remember Finlay is a very proud man, he’s going to take the fight to Edge tonight. Cole: But up next, the match that was made last week. Matt Hardy and The Great Khali. And remember if Matt can… well, here comes the United States champion MVP. Coach: The man who for my mind should be the ECW champion as well, if he wasn’t robbed by Matt Hardy. And I know he’s going to enjoy seeing Matt Hardy take a beating tonight. Cole: And it seems MVP is coming out here to join us on commentary... [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MontelVontaviousPorter13.jpg[/IMG] MVP: You damn right I’m coming out here for commentary. I wanna see Matt Hardy get his ass kicked tonight. Cole: Well I have to ask MVP did you convince Vickie Guerrero to make this match? MVP: Of course I did. Listen, after Matt Hardy cost me the ECW Title, that punk don’t deserve anymore shots at my United States championship. And tonight, the Great Khali is going to make sure he don’t get one.

MVP, you gotta be pleased at what you’re seeing right now? MVP: You know what? This is exactly what Matt Hardy deserves. He had no rite getting involved in my ECW Title amtch. I had CM Punk beat. I was gonna be a duel champion again. And he messed it up. He cost me the ECW Title just like he cost me the tag team titles. This is exactly what he deserves. Cole: How can you sit there and say Matt Hardy deserves this? He is getting a beating from the Great Khali. No man deserves this. Coach: Who do you think you’re talking to Michael Cole? This is the United States champion right here. You show him some respect. MVP: Exactly… Coach knows what’s going on. Cole: Khali now… again, shot to the back of Hardy. Hardy fires back with a right hand, the big man didn’t even move. Another right, hand, Hardy off the ropes… again Khali just stands there. Hardy runs in and… he ran into a boot.

Coach: I can’t believe it he took him off his feet. MVP: Dammit Khali, what the… Cole: Hey! Where the hell is MVP going? Coach: he’s the United States champion he can go wherever he wants. Cole: MVP just abandoned his commentary position and… he’s up on the apron now. And Matt Hardy and MVP coming face to face. The referee trying ot break it up. Coach: Look out for Khali from behind. Cole: Kahli… he just locked on that vice grip! MVP… what is he doing? MVP his the United States belt and… ow, he swung for Matt Hardy and caught Khali. The referee didn’t see it. Hardy with the cover, 1-2-3! And MVP just gifted a win to Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy is going to Wrestlemania! Coach: God, I… I can’t believe… Cole: And from behind, MVP attacking Matt Hardy.

As for tonight, I’m facing one of the rising stars of this company in Kenny Dykstra. Kenny may be a big talent, but he has to learn, that you have to earn your Wrestlemania moment. And this year, is going to mine. Cole: Well Rey Mysterio sounding confident, talking about how Wrestlemania moments have to be earned. Coach, I don’t think the youngster Kenny Dykstra is quite there yet. Coach: No he’s not but he earned the rite to go to Wrestlemania, and one day he will have that Wrestlemania moment.

Dykstra stomping away on Rey. Coach: I guess that if… [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/GlenJacobs2.jpg[/IMG] Cole: What the? It’s Kane! The Big Red Machine! Coach: Now what the hell is he doing out here? E has no business getting involved in this. Cole: Kane now… boot to Dykstra. Kane… he has Kenny up for… a chokeslam! Kane, the man who lost to Kenny Dykstra at No Way Out. A man who qualified for Money In The Bank earlier tonight. He wasn’t going to stand back and watch this. Coach: Kane is going to pay for this.

You said the Undertaker was dead. Zack: Yeah, I mean if he’s dead, then why would he show up here tonight? Curt: Yeah I thought we did so much damage last week he wouldn’t be coming back. Edge: Listen, it’s this thing with Teddy Long. He’s freaking me out OK? Look… I know he’s not coming back. You guys know that too. But I would feel a whole lot better if you guys could do this for me and just cover the doors OK? Cole: And finally Edge admits it, he’s scared. He’s scared of what the Udnertaker is going to do him. Coach: No he’s not scared. It’s just Teddy long and all his voodoo crap that is freaking Edge out that’s all. Cole: Well here comes Finlay and Hornswoggle.

Coach: I really think this whole thing with the Undertaker and Teddy Long has effected Edge tonight. He just doesn’t look the same in the ring tonight.

Edge, sends Finlay to the ropes, FInaly ducks one but… Edge with a dropkick. Down goes Finlay again. And Edge now… setting up in the corner… Coach: Here comes the spear. Cole: Edge… setting Finlay up for the spear…. *GONG* Coach: Oh not again! Cole: The lights have gone out again! Coach: What is that? Cole: Sounds like thunder…. Edge is looking down the ramp… Coach: What the hell is going on here? *GONG* Cole: The lights come back on and… hey, from behind, FInlay with the roll up… 1-2-3! Finaly did it! Finlay wins! Finlay just beat Edge! Coach: Who the hell is controlling the lights around here? Something is going on. Cole: FInlay just stole one. And look at Edge, the shock on his face.

And King, tonight, what will be the response from Ric Flair after what happened as Raw went off the air last week? King: Well I have to believe that Ric Flair is going to have something to say about it. But also, I can’t believe we’re going to have a ladder match tonight! JR: Intercontinental title is on the line tonight. But also I think… and, well we knew it wouldn’t be long until we heard from the WWE Champion. King: And boy does he look happy after what he did last week. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RandyOrton5.jpg[/IMG] Orton: I just want to say… that even though I came out on the losing end last week… I left Raw last week a winner. I delivered a message to Ric Flair that I know he won’t forget. I put Ric Flair through a table last week… just like I did to John Cena. I have faced and beaten every threat to my WWE Championship… and Ric Flair, you will be no different. At Wrestlemania… the Legend Killer… will go down in history as the man who ended your career. And long after you’ve… *WOOO* JR: Well, here he comes… the Nature Boy is here! King: And well, he looks pretty beat up after last week. JR: I don’t think anything was going to keep Ric Flair away tonight. He has too much pride to let an attack from Randy Orton keep him down. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG] Flair: Randy Orton… I am sick and tired of hearing you talking! I am sick and tired of you saying you are going to end my career. I am the Nature Boy! I will never retire! And you better get that straight… cause at Wrestlemania… I will give the performance of a lifetime… and will become a World Champion again! And Orton… I want you to know… that you will never be able to kill the legend of Ric Flair! Ric Flair will live on… long after you are finished with this company. The Nature Boy… WOOO… will forever… be the limousine ridin', jet flying, kiss stealin', wheelin' dealing, son of a gun! And after Wrestlemania… I will be champion! WOOO! JR: Ric Flair, telling Randy Orton he won’t be intimidated by the WWE Champion. King: The Wrestlemania main event is really starting to heat up now. ---- JR: We’re back from commercial, and up next, Cody Rhodes has to try and get the win for his team before the title match next week.

King: Well JR I gotta say I have been impressed with Cade and Murdoch, these guys are on a roll right now. They want those tag team titles back.

He’s hanging out. Vince: Oh OK... so it’s a surprise? Shane: Oh yeah… it’s a big surprise. King: A big surprise? What does that mean JR? JR: I don’t know, but I have a bad feeling about this. This could be something huge that could really put DX in trouble at Wrestlemania. King: Well… I don’t know I mean DX have always stood up to the challenge but this time… I just don’t know JR. JR: Well, we’ll worry about that later… here comes Ashley, and she is action against the Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix. Ashley and the Glamazon. That match is next.

Beth going up against Candice Michelle, Melina and Mickie James. King: What a match that is going to be JR. I can’t wait! JR: Well the champion obviously looking to send the other competitors a message here tonight. She has completely dominated Ashley. Phoenix now… just pure power as she sends Ashley back to the mat. King: Well that’s why they call her the Glamazon. That blend of power and beauty. JR: Phoenix… setting Ashley up for the down in flames! Here’s the cover, 1-2-3.

And Carlito, tonight you have an intercontinental title match with… [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Carlito.jpg[/IMG] Carlito: Listen Maria… Carlito doesn’t have much to say. But I will say… that tonight is the night Carlito becomes Interconsinental Champion again. Carlito is sick and tired of chasing midgets through holes in the wall, and trying to carry Ric Flair in a tag team. Tonight, Carlito once again becomes a champion. King: Well short but sweet from Carlito. JR: King, I haven’t seen Carlito look this focused in a long time. Jeff Hardy is going to have areal fight on his hands tonight in that ladder match. Talking of ladder matches, up next is the Money in the Bank qualifying match. King: Right and what an opportunity for these two young men. JR: Santino Marella, he whined all week to get his chance , and he gets it tonight against Brian Kendrick, a man who is seems turned a corner last week. King: Well Kendrick scored a big upset win over Snitsky, so he is coming in with a lot of confidence. JR: Santino and Kendrick. Up next.

Both men back up, Santino whips Kendrick to the ropes, ducks the clothesline, and the kick… Kendrick hits the dropkick. Here’s a cover, 1-2… kick out by Santino. King: Great athleticism shown by Brian Kendrick. JR: Kendrick comes off the ropes and… he ran into a right hand from Santino. Down goes Kendrick. And Santino, keeping the pressure on, applying the armbar. Trying to keep Kendrick grounded. King: That sounds like the thing to do for Santino, Brian Kendrick is a guy that wrestles fast paced, so to keep him grounded will take away a lot of his offence. JR: This crowd now, trying to rally behind Kendrick, trying to get him back in this match. Kendrick, back to his feet, fires out with the elbow, and another. Kendrick sent to the ropes… flying elbow. Kendrick now… takes Santino into the corner… DDT! Kendrick with the cover… 1-2-3! Yes! He did it! Brian Kendrick is going to Wrestlemania! King: I can’t believe it!

Is this the big announcement? JR: Shane McMahon said he would tell us all tonight so… I guess this is it. King: Who could it be JR? Who do you think? JR: I honestly don’t know King. I’ve been racking my brains all week and I honestly couldn’t come up with a single name. I can’t think of anybody who want to get into cahoots with Shane McMahon. King: Well… here we go… he has a microphone… [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ShaneMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] Shane: Now I know… you’ve all been waiting for this. My Dad has been asking me all night. I’ve had people trying to phone me… asking who is the third man… of Team McMahon at Wrestlemania. Who is the man… that is going to make sure… that DX comes to an end? Well… I am happy to say it’s…. *WELL IT’S THE BIG SHOW* JR: What? What? Oh my God! The Big Show! The Big Show is here! The Big Show is back in the WWE! King: I can’t believe it! The Big Show is back! JR: Shane McMahon has pulled out all the stops for this match at Wrestlemania! God… I can’t believe it… I can’t believe The Big Show is here… Shane: Now I said, I had a big surprise for you all… and here he is. The world’ biggest athlete! The man who will make sure… that after Wrestlemania… DX is no more! [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Big_Show5.jpg[/IMG] Big Show: Man… you know what? It is good to be here. When I left the WWE… I was a wreck. I was beat up, I was overweight, I was done. But now… I’ve lost over 100lbs. I am in the best shape I have been in for years. And that means all kinds of hell for you DX. I came back to the WWE… because I want to be a champion again. I’ve been a champion on Raw, Smackdown and ECW. And I will be a champion again. But first… when my phone rang… and I saw it was my buddy Shane O’Mac… asking me to help him destroy DX… I couldn’t say no. If getting rid of DX is what I have to do to be a champion again… then I’ll do it. Shane: You see Shawn… you see Hunter… I said I would do whatever it took to get rid of DX… and in The Big Show and Umaga… I have created a team that will rip out the soul of D-Generation X. At Wrestlemania… Shawn… Hunter… you have no chance in hell! JR: What a shocking announcement King. The Big Show is back in the WWE. King: And he’s teaming up with Shane McMahon. Shane brought him back to help himn destroy DX. God… I can’t believe it. ---- JR: Well ladies and gentlemen we’re back but… we’re still reeling from the announcement Shane McMahon just made. The Big Show is back in the WWE and he’s here to end DX. King: It… words can’t describe it JR. JR: Well here comes the self-proclaimed wrestling god, JBL. And he’s going to have his hands full at Wrestlemania too. King: Well Chris Jericho and he have been feuding all the way back to Armageddon. JR: And JBL is action here against DH Smith, a young man who seems to have a bright future in the WWE.

JR: Last time we saw him on Raw was in a losing effort to Snitsky… and tonight, it’s not looking good after that huge boot to the face from JBL. King: Right and JBL is a veteran, and I think he has too much experience for DH Smith. JR: JBL now… slamming Smith to the mat. This is not looking pretty. King: JBL just looks so dominant right now. JR: DH Smith, sent to the ropes and… clothesline from hell! My God what impact! Here’s the cover, 1-2-3. And thank God that’s over. King: Well… JBL looking very impressive heading towards Wrestlemania. JR: And Chris Jericho better be… well, here he comes now. It’s Y2J. Chris Jericho coming out here with a mic and… [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ChrisJericho1.jpg[/IMG] Jericho: Alright, listen up you Wall Street jackass. Now I know that we said that this thing between us would end at Wrestlemania… but that got me thinking. If I’m going to take on you at the biggest show of the year… and seeing as it’s both of our returns to Wrestlemania… I was thinking… let’s go in there… and let’s have the biggest, the craziest, the best damn match Orlando has ever seen! So JBL… I am saying to you… that at Wrestlemania… you and me… in an ‘I Quit’ Match! We are going to end this thing… by you saying “I Quit” JBL. And after that… you better never… eeeevvvveeerrr… get in my way… again! JR: What a match that could be! Jericho and JBL in an ‘I Quit’ Match! King: God… I mean one of those guys is going to say “I Quit”? JR: I guess so King. [B]John Bradshaw Layfield beat DH Smith (B-)[/B] ---- *we cut backstage to Shane McMahon* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ShaneMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] Shane: Hey… I was wondering when you two would show up. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TripleHDX.jpg[/IMG] HHH: What the hell is this Shane? First Umaga, now Big Show? What is this… a DX losers reunion? I mean… don’t you remember? You… your old man… Big Show’s ass? Ring a bell? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ShawnMichaels2.jpg[/IMG] HBK: I mean… we got bored of beating Big Show back when he was a big guy… you see him out there? I mean he’s skinnier than you now Shane. He's lost more weight than Chris Masters... HHH: Who? HBK: You don't remember...? The guy... lost a lot of weight? HHH: No... Shane: Listen OK? This time… I’m in charge OK? I’m calling the shots. And I swear to God… Wrestlemania… is the end for you guys… OK? No more pranks… no more stunts. It’s over, alright? DX is history. King: I got to admit JR… for the first time since all this started… I actually believe Shane McMahon now. JR: Well The Big Show is the difference maker… The Big Show changes everything as far as that match goes. King: And don’t forget Umaga is going to be there too. JR: He’s a hell of an athlete… a former intercontinental champion… a savage who… *KENNEDY* King: Well… I guess that means Mr Kennedy is on his way out here. JR: Kennedy set for one on one action against Paul London. We saw Paul London’s tag team partner Brian Kendrick qualify for Money in the Bank earlier tonight. And if Paul London can pull off a win here, it’d be an even bigger shock.

Both men down now. King: Well I don’t think this has been anywhere near the walkover Mr Kennedy thought it was going to be. JR: Paul London is a hell of an athlete… a former cruiserweight champion. Both he and Kendrick trying to make names for themselves in singles competition now… King: … and what a night to do it on! This has been one of the most shocking Monday Night Raws I can remember. JR: It has been quite a night… London, throwing rights and lefts at Kennedy… off the ropes… ducks the clothesline and… London went for a bodysplah… Kennedy caught him and… Green Bay plunge! God what a move by Kennedy! Here’s the cover, 1-2-3. And Kennedy grabs the win, but a great effort by Paul London. King: I thought on a couple of occasions Paul London had Kennedy beat but… JR: Oh now wait a second, c’mon! Kennedy assaulting London after the bell. There’s no need for this. King: I think Kennedy is upset cause of how close Paul London ran him in this match. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/BobbyLashley.jpg[/IMG] JR: Well that doesn’t excuse the fact that this is… hey wait, it’s Lashley! Bobby Lashley is here! Lashley into the ring and… Kennedy, quite wisely ducked out the ring. He didn’t want any piece of Bobby Lashley. King: Well he’s going to have to face him at Wrestlemania JR. JR: These two are going to meet and they’re going to settle this in Florida. It’s just two weeks away until Kennedy and Lashley end this. [B]Mr Kennedy beat Paul London (A)[/B] ---- *we cut backstage to Todd Grisham* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ToddGrisham.jpg[/IMG] Todd: Please welcome my guest at this time, the Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy. And Jeff… tonight, you put your title on the line against Carlito in a ladder match. And after what you saw Carlito do to Ric Flair last week… I have to ask you Jeff, how are you feeling going into this match tonight? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JeffHardy5_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Jeff: You know what man? I’m going out there tonight… and I’m going to pay Carlito back for what he did. I owe Ric Flair a lot for what he’s taught me lately. And Carlito… I owe you a beaten you’ll never forget. JR: King… the stakes are so high right now. Carlito and Jeff Hardy with the Intercontinental championship on the line. King: Right and in a ladder match too. I mean anything could happen out there. JR: For me Jeff Hardy goes into this match the favourite. He is the reigning champion. He has had so much experience of ladder matches throughout his career. Carlito is a great wrestler, but I have to go with Jeff Hardy on this one. King: Well I tend to agree with you…. Well here comes Carlito now. JR: He always looks confident. He always looks confident. He always looks arrogant. Can Carlito go on to win Intercontinental gold? We’ll find out after this commercial.

And another. King, this has been one of the most brutal ladder matches I have ever seen. King: God I know. I mean… we’ve seen both these men take so many risks tonight. JR: And Carltio now… looks like he’s going to have another attempt at climbing the ladder. He’s got it set up in the middle of the ring. And here he goes… King: Jeff now trying to get back to his feet… JR: Jeff… he’s climbing the ladder too. Both men climbing that ladder. They’re both at the top now. Jeff with a right hand. Carlito answers back. Both men trading right hands here… oh! Jeff Hardy just slammed Carito’s head off the ladder. King: And Carlito is down! JR: Jeff Hardy can win this match and retain his title if he… oh wait a minute… wait a minute. Jeff Hardy… he’s going for… King: Oh my God! No… JR: Jeff Hardy… Oh my God! Oh my God! Jeff Hardy just hit a swanton off the top of that ladder! Oh my God! He’s broken in half! I can’t believe Jeff Hardy just did that! King: I think… it’s over for Carlito. JR: I haven’t seen either man move since Jeff Hardy landed. And… Jeff now… starting to slowly get back to his feet. King: God look at Jeff. He’s having to use the ladder to help him get back up. JR: I can barley believe he’s even walking right now. Jeff Hardy… slowly climbing back up that ladder. What an effort by Jeff Hardy. He’s made it to the top and… hey, what the… it’s Randy Orton! [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RandyOrton5.jpg[/IMG] King: Where did he come from? JR: Randy Orton… oh my God! Oh my God! Randy Orton just pushed Jeff Hardy off the top of the ladder. And Jeff landed right in front of us. King: I can’t believe this. Jeff looks really hurt JR. JR: This has stop. This has to stop right now. Jeff Hardy nearly got killed there. That was a huge fall and a har landing. And now… what’s Orton doing? Orton… oh no King not this… not again. King: Hey c’mon stop this. JR: Randy Orton setting Jeff Hardy up… Jeff can barely stand right now… RKO through our table! RKO through our table! Dammit Orton. What the hell are you doing? King: And look at Carlito… JR: Carlito climbing the ladder… Carlito’s going to become the Intercontinental Champion thanks to Randy Orton. Carlito… well he grabs the belt. He’s the new champion. But my God what a mess Jeff Hardy is in. King: What has just happened here JR? JR: I’ll tell you what’s happened here… Randy Orton just screwed Jeff Hardy out of the Intercontinental Title… Randy Orton just robbed Jeff Hardy of his title. King: Is Jeff OK? Do we know? JR: We have EMT and doctors looking at Jeff now… one day Randy Orton… one day somebody’s going to teach you a lesson. You’ll get what’s coming to you Orton.
