Lola Vice shows up for some friendly conversation, but it quickly becomes an argument when Kendal says that wrestling is better than MMA. Kendal says she will beat Kelani Jordan tonight before seeing her for the title.

EVIL - now known as Naraku - beats Lince Dorado in his WWE debut.



Backstage, EK Prosper thanks Sean Legacy and Tate Wilder for the recent help. Sean Legacy tells Tate Wilder to pick his spot, but Wilder says he is the kind of person to leap into chaos. Dorian Van Dux shows up, saying he cannot wait to see Wilder in action.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Nattie is filming for LFG when Jaida Parker shows up and interrupts only to be removed from the room by security.

Birthright (Charlie Dempsey, Uriah Connors, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo) beat "Super" Sean Legacy, EK Prosper and Tate Wilder in a six-man tag match after Wilder fails to tag in Legacy and misses a top rope moonsault.

Backstage, Tatum Paxley and Lizzy Rain have a conversation. Tatum says she wants to go back to being the champion she wants to be, and gives Lizzy Rain a title shot before Shiloh Hill shows up with information of Tristan Angels. Lizzy mentions how she cannot stand Tristan, then Tristan shows up and says that the idea of Shiloh outclassing him is absurd before stating that he will make his in-ring debut next week and prove that he is in a class of his own.

During this week's NXT Focus, Izzi Dame talk about her recent victory with Niko Vance and Shawn Spears. Spears that The Culling (Spears, Izzi, Niko) is always stronger together, and Niko says that Izzi has given The Culling a clear path. Izzi tells Niko that if Lola Vice is watching tonight's main event, then she is watching Lola.

General Manager Robert Stone is in the ring. He introduces Will Kroos - now known as Mason Rook - to the ring to sign his NXT contract. Mason says he has traveled all across Europe, been to Japan, and went all around the world, and everywhere he goes, he turns heads. He says that even John Cena sees him, and it is not hard to notice "a flying human tank." Mason says he is not satisfied with everyone talking about him in pubs and going viral multiple times, and says that anyone who steps in the ring with him will find out that if they try to stop a human tank, they will get crushed. Tony D'Angelo shows up and says that Mason Rook has gotten his attention, but he will not let him make a name for himself at his expense. Suddenly, Kam Hendrix shows up and attacks D'Angelo, and Mason Rook takes them and security out with a top rope moonsault. Mason Rook signs the contract, then hands it to Robert Stone as he says that this is not how things are done in NXT.



Backstage, Romeo Moreno is watching footage of Noam Dar's old matches as Noam Dar gets ready for tonight. Noam Dar does not know if he is the same guy he once was, as he has not been in the ring in about a year. Romero still has faith in Noam Dar.

Emily Agard interviews OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) as they prepare for a cook-out. Lucien Price talks about how Bronco Nima lost his mother at a young age. Bronco says that his mother taught him that manhood is not about age, but responsibility, and that he has been able to provide for his younger brother JJ. JJ says that OTM, to him, is about overcoming adversity and building character. Bronco says that people can see Lucien's size and violence, but not his mind, and that Lucien is also a talented artist. OTM then make it clear that they want the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Jackson Drake beats Noam Dar after Myka Lockwood grabs Noam as he fends off The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake). After the match, the lights go out, and DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) shows up.



Backstage, Myles Borne meets with Tavion Heights. Myles Borne says that he has a tag team match, but it is with Tony D'Angelo, not with Tavion. Tavion thinks that Myles has something against him because he is a champion and sarcastically wishes him luck.

DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) is in the ring. Dion Lennox tells The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Myka Lockwood) that they want the NXT Tag Team Championships, and Saquon Shugars says that Cutler James and Osiris Griffin are about to commit a crime when they beat The Vanity Project for the titles. Ricky Smokes says that beating Hank Walker and Tank Ledger does not make them championship material, and Brad Baylor reminds DarkState that they took the titles from them and are the reason why Lennox and Saquon are at each others' throats. Baylor says they do not give handouts, but Cutler says they never got their rematch, and they are cashing in. He says that General Manager Robert Stone has approved the match for next week, but it will not be him and Osiris in the ring. Cutler says they need to be united, and that this is on Lennox and Saquon. Osiris says that Lennox and Saquon need to figure things out or else DarkState will have to change. The Vanity Project go for a cheap shot, but get taken down.



Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone speaks briefly with Naraku, then runs into Mason Rook and Kam Hendrix in his office. Kam is not happy with being part of a tag team, but Mason is ready to make some noise.

Stone makes a match between Carver and Wilder for next week.

Backstage, Blake Howard interviews Kali Armstrong, who says that she is scoping out the scene in NXT before making her next move. She says she will run through the NXT locker room like she did on Evolve. Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair show up, and Kendal says she will run through almost everybody.

Kelani Jordan beats Kendal Grey. During the match, Lola Vice is watching the match from backstage when she is attacked by Izzi Dame. Their brawl makes its way to the outside, and Kelani slips away from a distracted Kendal at the top rope, takes her down and hits One of a Kind for the win.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 12, 2025

In memory of Terrance Brunk "Sabu" 1964 - 2025.

CM Punk heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Punk says that it has been three weeks since WrestleMania, yet he still cannot shake being pissed off. Punk then says he is most pissed off at himself, as this is not the first time Paul Heyman has stabbed him in the back. He talks about how Heyman hit him in the head with a ladder and left him with thirteen stitches in his head, and while "Main Event" Jey Uso tried to warn him about Heyman, Heyman is who he has always been: "a fat little snake." He says that he knows how this ends as he has been down this road before, and he cannot wait to get his hands around Heyman's neck and choke him until his eyes pop. Heyman makes his presence known, and CM Punk tell Heyman to explain why he did what he did and that the words he chooses will be his last, then Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Bron Breakker show up. Seth Rollins says that when CM Punk cannot possibly get any more egotistical, he tops himself. He says that Heyman was Punk's best friend, yet made his life hell on the road to WrestleMania and is gaslighting everyone into believing Heyman betrayed him. Rollins says that Heyman believed in Punk for years when no one else did, then calls Punk "scum," "trash" and "human excrement" and says his belief was the right one. He says that when he thinks he cannot hate Punk any more than he already does, he realizes that Punk is the reason he is not World Heavyweight Champion. Punk says Rollins will never be champion as long as he is on two feet. Rollins thinks that Punk is a masochist and loves to play the victim, then says that if Punk really wants to be a victim, then that can be arranged, and hopes Punk has prepared his last works before siccing Breaker on him. Punk and Breakker brawl in the ring, and Rollins gets in the ring and watches before Punk fights back and gets a piece of Rollins. Breakker attacks Punk from behind, and Sami Zayn suddenly shows up to even the numbers, but he too is overpowered by Breakker. Heyman produces a metal folding chair, and Rollins is about to use it as a weapon against Sami Zayn when Jey Uso gets in the ring. Jey is overpowered briefly, but Sami and Punk make the save with chairs of their own.



Pat McAfee returns to commentary for the next match.

Penta beats Chad Gable with a Destroyer from the top rope.



We hear from Giulia and Roxanne Perez. Roxanne says they have made it clear that the Raw women's division is not safe anymore, and Giulia says Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky are strong, but they are hungry and they are here to take over. Roxanne then says that means going after the woman at the very top, as they plan to make their own history and make way for the future, which Giulia proclaims starts tonight.

Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio - who has no concept of time zones - talks with Finn Balor regarding his previous title defense. Finn admits things did not go smoothly, but tells Dominik he well take care of AJ Styles. JD McDonagh then introduces Dominik to time zones.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) guests on commentary for the next match.

Sami Zayn and CM Punk vs. Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Bron Breakker is now official for Saturday Night's Main Event. Backstage, Sami Zayn meets with CM Punk regarding their tag team match at Saturday Night's Main Event and wants to know if they are on the same page. Punk admits he has trouble trusting people at times, but he gets it, as he used to not trust Punk. He says they both like to do things their way, but neither of them will not get anything done without Seth Rollins or Bron Breakker around.

American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed) beats The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) after Xavier Woods distracts Erik - and the referee - so that Kofi Kingston can stop the Doomsault attempt by Ivar.

Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins talks with Bron Breakker, saying that Sami Zayn, CM Punk and "Main Event" Jey Uso only think they have the upper hand. Rollins then asks Breakker to do one more thing, and whispers it in his ears. He then tells Breakker "Have some fun," before leaving the room.



We see footage from after last week's show where Logan Paul knocks out "Main Event" Jey Uso from behind the barricade and makes it known that he wants the World Heavyweight Championship. Logan Paul vs. Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship is now official for Saturday Night's Main Event.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce tells Jey Uso that whoever wins between him and Logan Paul for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event will defend the title against Gunther.

"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring. Jey says he may have a big target on his big back, but he needs to get something off his big chest. He addresses Logan Paul's belittling of him and says it is just them at Saturday Night's Main Event, where he will walk out as champion. All of a sudden, Gunther shows up and says the unimaginable came true and that Jey Uso became World Heavyweight Champion, then says Jey is not used to being a champion like he is and "is not a natural champion." Gunther then announces that whoever wins between Jey Uso and Logan Paul will be the one handing the World Heavyweight Championship over to him, and one month from now, he will challenge the winner for the title. Gunther hopes that it is Jey Uso, as he wants to shut him and the fans up for good by outclassing Jey and showing him where his class is. Jey says he is in his place, and after he beats Logan, he will beat Gunther and walk out champion.



We hear from Iyo Sky, who says she tried to show Roxanne Perez last week only to be attacked from behind by Giulia. She says neither of them deserve respect, and that tonight, they will both learn just like Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley that no one can stop her and that no one will take her title.

WWE acknowledges the recent passing of ECW legend Sabu on Sunday.



Backstage, The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) are meeting with General Manager Adam Pearce when The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) show up and mock them.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Ludwig Kaiser when "Main Event" Jey Uso is suddenly attacked by Bron Breakker. Sami Zayn and CM Punk check on Jey Uso alongside officials.



"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats Finn Balor after Penta shows up and beats up Carlito and JD McDonagh on the outside.



Becky Lynch is in the ring. Becky says Lyra was beaten on Saturday, not her, as Lyra went to the hospital while she basked in her brilliance, because even after everything Lyra did to her, she still made Lyra the best version of herself, gave her her best match, and made her matter like never before. She says that after the bell rang, she did not hear defeat, but an alarm ringing in her ear, because she realized how much she has been manipulated not just by Lyra but also the fans, and says she walked out for a year because the fans wanted her to. She questions why she is here if she is not winning world champions and that she has always been for the people, and says that she and the fans were in it together until she won and the fans could not deal with that. Becky says the fans hate what they cannot understand after stating that all she knows is failure, and while she missed being in the ring, she liked herself more when she was not surrounded by the fans and their lies. She says she did not have to spin her wheels to prove who she was, then says that she is whatever the fans say she is, whether it is greedy, selfish or cutthroat. Becky then proclaims that the women's locker room is about to find out that her fire is back and find out what it is like to be held down by The Man.



We hear from Rusev, who says that he does not want to do any of this and that he just wants to go home and be rich, but he was once programmed by lesser people, and he cannot leave his brothers until they all wake up. He says the fans do not care if the wrestlers miss their families or if their mission is to hurt or be hurt. He talks about how Akira Tozawa stepped up to him only to get decimate, then tells everyone to get off their knees. He says it will hurt him to hurt everyone, but he would rather they fall at his hands than to fall out into the abyss.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with Akira Tozawa, who wants a match with Rusev. Sheamus shows up and gives credit to Tozawa for standing up to Rusev, then meets with Pearce. Sheamus wants to keep his momentum going with a match against Grayson Waller, and Pearce gives him the match.

Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley beat Giulia and Roxanne Perez. After the match, Rhea Ripley stares at the Women's World Championship before leaving the ring.

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for May 12, 2024

Note: This episode is a re-airing of an interview with Adam Pearce from 2010.

The show starts with David Marquez interviewing NWA World Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce. He says taht he grew up to be a hard worker and that those in the West Coast lack the kind of integrity that he does. He talks about how he found out about professional wrestling as a kid in the Mid-West and saw his first show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He says that he looked up to Jack Brisco, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Harley Race and Terry Funk on his way to becoming a professional wrestler. Pearce also talks about his first match at the age of 17 where he tagged with his trainers in a six-man tag match and that when the match start, it is "kill or be killed." He also says that he knew he would become an NWA World Heavyweight Champion as he knew that he was great from the get-go.

David Marquez interviews Adam Pearce about the tournament to crown a new NWA World Heavyweight Champion in 2006. Pearce says that when NWA was bringing their World Heavyweight title, he started petitioning to be part of the tournament. He also talks about his match with Brent Albright in Puerto Rico, and mentions how Bryan Danielson beat him in the semi-finals of the tournament only to be injured in a match in Japan, which brought him back to the tournament in the finals and back to being World Heavyweight Champion. On the subject of Danielson being special guest enforcer, he says that Danielson made the right call on that night despite wearing an eyepatch to protect his injured eye, and for the first time in his fifteen-year career, he had respect for Brent Albright in what would become a rivalry, although he will never be over Albright cementing his legacy at his expense to become World Heavyweight Champion.

We look back on Adam Pearce vs. Brent Albright for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in a bullrope match.

David Marquez continues to interview Adam Pearce. Pearce calls Philadelphia, Pennsylvania "a cesspool" and "a dump" full of "maniacs" who only like hardcore wrestling and that he had to head there to face Brent Albright in order to reclaim the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. He talks about how Shane Douglas threw down the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and became "champion of a toilet," and calls himself a real champion who put the title back on the pedestal it needed to be on. He calls Sean Waltman "a deadbeat" who calls himself a degenerate who has also ridden his coattails because he is not great and wants to taste greatness he will never taste. He calls Phil Shatter "a Neanderthal," and says that while Colt Cabana is talented, there is something off about someone who calls himself "Boom Boom." He calls Charlie Haas a technician and somebody he can respect, and says that while he is tough as nails, he did not get the job done, but tells him to come back for round two because he is a man. On the subject of Joey Ryan, he says that Joey Ryan only cares about what the fans think about him, and says that he would still be tag team champion and not coming after him if he was on the path he is supposed to be on.

We look back on the recent match from two months ago from So-Cal Pro Wrestling between Joey Ryan and Adam Pearce.

David Marquez interviews Adam Pearce regarding The Sheik. Adam Pearce says he knows very little about The Sheik and that his attack on him from behind during his NWA World Championship match with Phil Shatter was a black eye on professional wrestling as well as an injustice, and asks what kind of man would attack anybody like that. He says that he knows that The Sheik is watching and that he will take him beyond his limits, and says that he is not a man to be played with and that he can take things underground and not via the high road if necessary. As for what he looks for in this new television show, he hopes to introduce shining stars as well as veterans and legends to people's homes. He calls Scorpio Sky an unparalleled athlete and says he has all the tools except for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. As for who the rising star of 2010 will be, he says that is not up to him to decide. As for who he would love to face from the past or present, Pearce would face himself and see who would win in a match between Adam Pearce and Adam Pearce, even though he knows the winner would be Adam Pearce.

He tells Cage to meet him in the ring alone and earn it.

The Pinnacle head to the ring. MJF says that he is the "Demo God" and the king of AEW after Blood and Guts, and that he will not be referred to as "the greatest of all time."

MJF says that The Inner Circle is now down two men and is puzzled as to why they would want a rematch, then asks the fans if they want a rematch before telling them it is not going to happen. Tully Blanchard says he has been at the top many times in the past, and that The Pinnacle took everything The Inner Circle could dish out and made them surrender, putting them at the top of the world. Tully then gifts The Pinnacle with expensive watches, and says that The Pinnacle is on top of the world looking down on everyone else. Suddenly, a car horn is heard. Ortiz, Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara then shows up on a winemobile, and after MJF says that Chris Jericho and Santana are gone - the latter being gone after being put in jail for trying to stab him with a fork - Jericho pops out of the vehicle. Jericho asks for a rematch, and MJF refuses, which leads to Sammy Guevara spraying The Pinnacle with A Little Bit Of The Bubbly.

Sabin says that when they got back together, they planned on becoming ROH World Tag Team Champions, and they reached that goal. Now that they are no longer tag team champs, they have no idea where to go from there, and wonder if they should go their separate ways or stay together and prove they are the best tag team there has ever been. He says they do not know, but they do know they have been to Hell and back, and no matter what happens, Shelley is his brother for life. Both men hug, then The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) interrupt before Shelley can say something, saying they don't care about their problems.

They were laid out last week, but they're back and ready for more, especially Roman Reigns, who plans to make The Evolution believe not only in The Shield, but also in him. The TitanTron soon shows a limo pulling up into the arena, and as soon as Triple H steps out, The Shield run straight to the back. Meanwhile, Triple H is signing a document on a clipboard with Randy Orton and Batista behind them. Not long after he signs it and the three of them start to approach the ring, The Shield leave them laying in a preemptive assault.


Despite the warning by Zeb Colter to keep his distance, Adam Rose shows up with his Rosebuds. Rob Van Dam takes advantage of the distraction to beat Jack Swagger.


Despite Alicia Fox getting very territorial before the match and very aggressive during it, Paige beats Alicia Fox. Fox goes ballistic after the match, spraying a drink everywhere, partially dismantling the commentary table and even walking back to the back while wearing JBL's hat!


Daniel Bryan shows up. He says he needs neck surgery due to all the beatings he's taken as of late. He plans to get it somewhere around next Thursday and says it might end his career, but he vows to return to WWE.


John Cena and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan). Bray Wyatt thanks John Cena, as he has finally realized what he must do.


Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista) show up. Randy Orton feels the gloves need to come off concerning The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns), as he and Batista and have enough. Triple H has a plan to systematically decimate The Shield, but as he describes it, Evolution is suddenly ambushed by The Shield yet again! After the ambush, Batista challenges Roman Reigns to a match later tonight.


Nikki Bella beats Natalya in a match with the rest of the cast of Total Divas holding judges' scorecards throughout the match. The match started after what happened last night on Total Divas, with Nikki being dishonest about liking the painting of her and John Cena that Natalya gave her. After the match, Natalya takes the scorecards thing a little too personally, and her feelings are clearly hurt.


Sheamus beats Curtis Axel with the Cloverleaf only to be attacked by Ryback. This starts another match.


Sheamus beats Ryback.


Stephanie McMahon shows up and says Daniel Bryan is not an A+ player, and says she was trying to protect him. She asks Daniel to come to the ring, but Kane shows up instead, dragging Daniel Bryan out to the top of the entrance ramp with a reddened forehead and a torn shirt. Daniel Bryan has to be taken out on a stretcher again.


Brie Bella snaps at Stephanie McMahon as Daniel Bryan is placed in the ambulance.

Dolph Ziggler beats Fandango when Layla's interference attempt fails. After the match, Fandango knows he's the real winner for having Layla at his side, and easily forgives her.


"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan enters the ring! Lana shows up, though, and after some America bashing, she sics Rusev on him. Rusev breaks Hacksaw's 2x4, but Big E makes the save and keeps Rusev from breaking Hacksaw himself, even though Rusev hits him hard, too.


After Damien Sandow is unable to vent his frustration with WWE due to being interrupted, Cody Rhodes beats Damien Sandow.


Bray Wyatt wants to see how far John Cena is willing to go to take him down.

Roman Reigns vs. Batista becomes a brawl between The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) and Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista). Stephanie McMahon sends out the heels of the WWE roster to take out The Shield...but The Shield strike back! Evolution is forced to flee as the heels are decimated and Ryback is put in a three-man power bomb.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for May 12, 2000

The Sinister Minister says that when Mikey Whipwreck was only five years and his mother had him locked in his closet, she always told him not to play with matches. After somebody makes noise on the other end of a nearby door, The Sinister Minster threatens to have Whipwreck rip the cameraman's head off and make the Spanish Inquisition look like Sunday school. Suddenly, The Sinister Minster gets an idea and whispers it into Whipwreck's ear. Whipwreck tells the cameraman "you're fired" before throwing a fireball at him, then he and The Sinister Minster laugh.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer then shows up. Before he can make his first statement since losing the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at Cyberslam, Simon Diamond interrupts Dreamer before saying that he is no comedy act, then says nobody cares what Dreamer has to say, that Dreamer is not hungry anymore and that the Dreamer who "ate and drank ECW" is dead. After mocking Dreamer for not having a weapon to hit him with and asking Dreamer what he will hit him with, Dreamer hits him with a fist to the face, starting a match. After Dreamer hits Simon in the groin with the microphone, he states "Dreamer has a problem...Simon sucks dick!"

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beats Simon Diamond. During the match, the referee takes a steel chair away from Simon, causing Simon to argue with him. The Prodigy and The Prodigette fight over who gets dibs on Dreamer, and Dreamer dodges a top rope moonsault from The Prodigette before butting both of their heads into each other. Simon chops the referee in the corner, but the referee fights back and hits a few chops of his own before Dreamer hits his trademark DDT for the win.

Lance Storm beats Jerry Lynn after Justin Credible shows up and whacks Lynn with a Singapore cane - despite aiming for Storm - while referee Jim Molineaux is distracted by Dawn Marie. After the match, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer shows up, and they and Lance Storm brawl with one another. Cyrus then shows up and tells everyone that before tonight's show, TNN never wanted to come to Minneapolis, Minnesota because Cyrus - being from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - is an expert on the state of Minnesota, which he states is populated by idiots. He says that only "a state a mental retardates" would elect Jesse "The Body" Ventura for state governor, then says Jerry Lynn is not like everyone else in the state and that he will not hold being from Minnesota against him. He says that Jerry Lynn is unbelievably fantastic, then almost compares him to the Minnesota Timberwolves before remembering that they were knocked out of the NBA playoffs. He then says he is like the Minnesota Vikings because he cannot win the big one; nevertheless, he tells him he is unbelievable in the ring. He then tells him that even though Brad Rheingans taught him how to wrestle, he also taught him how to do an interview, which he calls "a ratings killer." He then states it is not about the wrestling anymore at The Network, but The Network still has a spot for someone of Lynn's talent and he has an offer he cannot refuse. He says that while Lynn can wrestle and that he is the "#1 charisma man," and offers to be his manager, saying there is nothing Lynn cannot achieve with The Network behind him. Suddenly, Tajiri shows up, and when he talks to Lynn, Cyrus smacks him on the back of the head and tells him to go away while calling him a "Jap." Lynn suddenly attacks Tajiri from behind, and Cyrus shakes his hand and welcomes him to The Network. Lynn then takes the microphone from Cyrus' hand and tells him he did it for himself, not for him or The Network. Cyrus blames everything that has happened on Tajiri after Jerry Lynn and says that he will ship him back to Tokyo and beat his ass. Steve Corino then shows up, and Cyrus leaves before Tajiri beats up Corino. Jack Victory shows up, but he gets attacked as well. Rhino then shows up and clotheslines Tajiri, and this starts a match for the ECW World Television Championship.

Rhino retains the ECW World Television Championship against Tajiri after putting Tajiri through two tables. After the match, Rhino, Steve Corino and Jack Victory take the boots to Tajiri, then The Sandman shows up and hits Corino and Victory with his Singapore cane before confronting Rhino in the ring. Both men fight, and Rhino hits Sandman with a Gore followed by a piledriver. Corino then says "This is what we like to do to your bitch wife!" before Rob Van Dam shows up and fights Corino and Victory. Rhino and RVD fight in the corner, and RVD gets the last word with the Five Star Frog Splash to end the show.
