Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcomes everyone to tonight's show. Afterwards, Justin Credible shows up with Francine. Styles says congratulations are in order, but admits that what happened with the ECW World Tag Team Championships was shocking. Francine says the only thing that is shocking is that everyone would think that she would leave herself out of the World Heavyweight Championship picture. She says she record here stands for itself, as she has managed people like "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, Chris Candido and "that loser" Lance Storm to a world title and even managed "a has-been" like Raven and "a nothing" like "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to the tag team titles. Now, her greatest accomplishment is managing the most controversial man in wrestling today - Justin Credible - to the world title. Styles says nobody was questioning Francine's managerial acumen, then Styles reminds Justin Credible that what he did to the tag team titles were distasteful at best. Justin says what he did to the tag team titles was not just the coolest or the best, but before he can say it was just incredible, Lance Storm shows up with Dawn Marie. Lance tells Justin he trained, taught and carried him, and he did not just throw down just the tag team titles, but one of the titles that belonged to him while spitting on both him and the business. For that, Justin owes him a title, and he will either beat him for the World title or Justin will hand it over. Justin tells Storm there are two things he can do: take the World title or take his ass back to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Storm immediately slaps Justin, starting a brawl in the middle of the ring that security and officials have to stop at ringside. Meanwhile, in the ring, Dawn Marie and Francine have a catfight, and Justin and Storm have to break that apart along with security and officials. Suddenly, Raven shows up and goes after Justin, but gets superkicked by Storm, who proceeds to hit him with an Evenflow DDT. Jazz then gets in the ring and hits Dawn Marie with a Michinoku Driver only to get superkicked by Storm. Storm then shows up and fights Storm in the ring, getting their match storm while Tommy Dreamer is seen in the crowd beating up Justin Credible.
Lance Storm beats Kid Kash after Jazz chases Dawn Marie out of the ring.
At a hotel suite, Elektra stands between Lou E. Dangerously and The New Dangerous Alliance (C.W. Anderson and "Wild" Bill Wiles), takes off her coat, and says that the situation needs a woman's touch. Lou E. knocks on the door of a nearby hotel room, and Mikey Whipwreck answers. Inside the room is The Sinister Minister, and Lou E. asks for the Minister's help in straightening up the world and tag team title pictures. The Sinister Minister tells him that if the D.A. would give him five or six minutes alone on the couch, something can be worked out. Elektra then asks The Sinister Minster "Rabbi, are those rosary beads in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?", to which the minister produces a string of beads and states "They're not exactly rosary beads." Elektra says that was not the pocket she was talking about, and the Minister proposes running them up against Elektra's bikini line. Elektra says she doesn't have a bikini line, to which the Minster responds "All the more reason for a closer inspection." Mikey Whipwreck shows up with a flaming chalice and says "I'll drink to that," then Elektra proposes showing The Sinister Minister something that is "hotter than Hell" as she takes her bra off and drops it on his head. Everyone in the room laughs.
Jerry Lynn beats Scotty Anton after Rhino Gores Anton through a table in the corner. After the match Cyrus shows up with Steve Corino and Jack Victory to congratulate Jerry Lynn on his victory. He asks Jerry Lynn to shake his hand, and Lynn shoves Bill Alfonso - who tries to reason with Lynn - before hitting Corino with a tope con hiro. Rhino and Jack Victory proceed to attack both Anton and Jerry Lynn while Cyrus yells that this is what happens when you mess with the network. Suddenly, Rob Van Dam shows up and fights Rhino, then comes face-to-face with Cyrus as Cyrus tries to sneak up on him. RVD is about to hit Cyrus with the Van Daminator when Victory and Corino blindside RVD and Rhino joins in. Yoshihiro Tajiri shows up and spits green mist in Victory's face and helps RVD fend everyone off, and RVD takes out both Anton and Lynn with a somersault over the ropes. Corino then takes the microphone and says that he and Rhino have a lucky break here, and that the odds are in their favor. He says that he is a forgiving man, as is Cyrus and the rest of his allies, and says they will forgive him if he admits he made a mistake turning on them; otherwise, it will be him and Rhino "all over [his] slanty-eyed ass." He also says that without them, Tajiri has nobody. Tajiri then pulls out a can of beer and opens it, then The Sandman shows up out of the back of the crowd and slowly heads to the ring. This leads into the next match.
Yoshihiro Tajiri and The Sandman beat The Network (Steve Corino and Rhino). During the match, The Sandman's wife, Tori Fullington, shows up with a section of guardrail and a Kendo stick before watching the match from ringside, and hits Rhino with the Kendo stick later in the match (though it is mostly to no effect).
Tomorrow night at 8 PM Eastern and Pacific Time on CBS, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and New Jack guest star on Early Edition.
