“The Show†plays as The Big Show comes out. He enters the ring, does the title taunt moving his hands around his waist and stares at the stage.
JBL: Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, as you can see, we went right to the action, as Big Show is fighting Rikishi tonight.
Styles: Yes, The Big Show on the last weeks has been a man on a mission. Let’s take a look.
(Video recap of the Big Show and Test rivalry, while the video airs Test and Rikishi enter the arena, and Rikishi enters the ring.
1st match: Big Show vs Rikishi w/Test
Rikishi circles around The Big Show, just after that they enter in a test strength. Big Show tries to push Rikishi away but he is massive too and doesn’t move too far away. They restart comparing their forces, Rikishi gets the upperhand and tries to get The Big Show in a headlock, but The Showster reverses it and connects a big knee. Rikishi then gets up but gets connected by a clothesline. He again gets up but gets clotheslined one more time. Rikishi shoes his resilience getting up one more time but he gets a big boot incrusted in his face.
The Big Show looks to the outside of the ring and does the title sign one more time to Test, The Big Show then continues his total control in the match by lifting Rikishi and hitting a powerslam. The Showster then dash to the ropes and hits a devastating leg drop. The Show lifts his arm up as the he gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. He then grabs Rikishi`s arm and drags him near to the corner, he kicks Rikishi in the head one time and then climbs to the top rope. Paul Wight measures his opponent and being backward to him he lets him go using the ropes and hits a splash. He goes for the cover: 1…2…, Rikishi miracously gets his shoulder up. Test in the outside of the ring gives a smile with relief. In the ring The Big Show complains to the referee about a slow count. Meanwhile Rikishi starts recuperating. The Show turns around to continue his attack but gets a sidekick from his opponent. Rikishi still a little groggy celebrates his accomplishment as he grabs Paul and throws him to the corner. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Rikishi goes to the opposite corner. Rikishi then approaches his opponent methodically and then applies the Stinky Face.
Test is obviously enjoying this entire match from the outside of the ring as he insults The Big Shows and lifts his title celebrating. Rikishi starts spanking himself and then he stares at his right leg, taunting for his Sidekick. The Showster gets up spitting and cleaning his mouth and nose. Rikishi goes for the Sidekick but The Big Show grabs Rikishi`s leg and showing his amazing power he throws Rikishi to the air and catches him and connects the Showstopper in mid-air. He then goes for the cover: 1…2…3.
Result: Big Show pins Rikishi.
Test is angry as The Big Show invites him to enter the ring. The Show is announced officially the Number One Contender and Test gets his title up as we go to a commercial break.

JBL: Well, that was a quick start of the show wasn’t it?
Styles: Yeah, and how about that? Now it’s official. Big Show vs Test at Apocalypse. But tonight we are packed with action.
JBL: Yes, we will have Randy Orton vs Vince McMahon, a Falls Count Anywhere between Triple H facing the Instant Classic, the one and only Christian Cage, and our main event Jeff Hardy, Mr. Kennedy and Goldberg facing Lesnar, MVP and Edge and as we just been informed, Crushing C will be making some major announcements about Apocalypse as we are this show and another one from this blockbuster PPV.
Styles: But as right now Ladies and Gentleman, as you know, last week Sabu interfered in the Number One Contenders Match for the Tag Team Championships.
JBL: Crushing C is supposed to make an announcement concerning this later on tonight, but right now we will have a triple threat match between one member of each team involved in this melee.
2nd Match: CM Punk vs Albert vs Sabu
Albert comes out to his music receiving almost no crowd reaction. He is representing the M and A connection.
“Arabian Beat†plays as Sabu comes out wearing his Tag Team Title. He is still wearing some bandages from his burnings at Busted Open. He does his entrance and enters the ring.
“This Fire Burns†plays as CM Punk comes to the biggest pop of them all. He is representing the Straightedgers. He enters the ring and stares at Albert showing no intimidation and does the title taunt on Sabu’s face as the match gets underway.
Albert retrieves from the starting action as Sabu and Punk get it on. They start comparing strengths until Sabu’s shows his athleticism and does a roll-up backwards getting himself separated from Punk and hits a dropkick to the knee. Punk gets up but gets grabbed by Sabu that hits a bulldog. He then hits a moonsault on Punk.
JBL: Damn, Sabu is on fire.
Sabu does his Magician of Arabia taunt but gets clotheslined out of a sudden by Albert. The crowd boos enormously as Albert grabs Sabu and does a military slam to the outside of the ring, leaving inside only Punk and Albert. The former prince waits Punk to get up, CM finally gets up and gets connected by a big boot. Albert puts his foot on top of Punk as the referee starts the count, 1…2…, suddenly Sabu appears and breaks the pin hitting a springboard clothesline. Sabu rushes himself toward Punk and goes for the cover: 1…2…, Punk kick out, Sabu gets up immediately and goes for the cover on top of Albert: 1…2…, Albert pushes Sabu away.
Punk and Albert get up and stare at each other. Punk then delivers a right kick to the calf of Albert, then a left kick and finally knocks Albert down one more time with a jumping kick to his head. Sabu dashes himself toward Punk but CM counterattacks with a sidekick that surprises and knocks down Sabu. Punk taunts for the crowd as he waits for someone to get up. Albert gets up and tries to attack CM, but the straightedge superstar ducks his punch and throws Albert to the outside of the ring. He then realizes about Sabu, that had taken advantage of that time to recover. Sabu climbs to the top rope, but CM Punk quickly joins him there and start trading punches. Punk hits a combination of elbow smashes to get the upperhand. He then gets to his feet on the top rope and hits the Pepsi Plunge to a great crowd pop.
Styles: OH MY GOD!!!
JBL: I thought I never would have the chance to see that move in my entire life.
Punk covers Sabu: 1…2…3.
Result: CM Punk defeats Sabu and Albert.
Punk celebrates with the crowd and does the title taunt one more time as we go to commercials.
(Commercials)
We go backstage with all three teams arguing about who should get the title match at Apocalypse. Crushing C enters the locker room and interferes the discussion before it gets physical.
Crushing C: What is this all about?
RVD: We wanna know who were are facing at Apocalypse?
Punk: Damn right, we wanna know who are the contenders.
Albert and Sabu then mumble something.
Crushing C: Ok, I was going to make this announcement later on tonight, but seeing that you can’t wait to know who will challenge for the titles, I will tell you my decisions right now.
Maven: Hell yeah you are!
Crushing C: Ok, at Apocalypse, it will be BTW Tag Champions Rob Van Dam and Sabu (they both stare at each other viciously), will face Maven and Albert!
Maven and Albert celebrate the announcement but get interrupted quickly by Crushing C.
Crushing C: But they will also face CM Punk and Colt Cabana, as at Apocalypse it will be a Triple Threat Tag Team Match. See you later pals.
We return to the ring with all three teams staring.
JBL: You all heard it, Triple Threat Tag Match.
Styles: Apocalypse is shaping to be a hell of a PPV.
“Burn in my Light†plays to the arena as Randy Orton enters the arena. He does his entrance and enters the ring waiting for Vince Mcmahon. But instead of Vince Mcmahon, on the Titantron we see Crushing C.
Crushing C: Whoa, whoa. I know you were supposed to face Vince Mcmahon in a match tonight. But that’s just not gonna happen.
Crowd boos.
Crushing C: You see, I am tired of WWE interfering with BTW, which takes me to my next point: The Apocalypse card. As I am announcing the official Apocalypse card for the PPV happening in a week from Sunday.
Crowd cheers, and Randy Orton gets out of the ring and goes backstage
Crushing C: Let’s start with the World Title match. As you know, it will be a Texas Bullrope match, between Edge and Mr. Kennedy. But that’s the only match confirmed. Tonight I am announcing the rest of the card.
Crowd cheers again
Crushing C: Over the past weeks, Goldberg and Lesnar have been brutalizing each other, so, at Apocalypse we will have both wrestlers in a Last Man Standing match.
Crowd goes wild showing their approval.
Crushing C: Next, both Jeff Hardy and Test will defend their titles, as we will have Jeff Hardy facing MVP for the Extreme Championship and Test facing his new Number One Contender The Big Show for the Continental Title. And as you found out before , we will have a Three Way Tag Team Match between RVD and Sabu, Maven and Albert and the Straightedgers for the Tag Team Titles.
Crushing C takes a pause to see the crowd reaction.
Crushing C: With that announced, I still have three more matches to book. We will also have CMS battling Elijah Burke in a Loser Leaves Company match. Also, to finally get rid of the Mcmahons, we will have a handicap match, between Vince and Shane Mcmahon vs Randy Orton, and finally, Mark Henry has been manhandling Triple H just to satisfy Christian Cage, so, at Apocalypse we will have Christian Cage and Mark Henry teaming up to take on Triple H and a partner of his choice, thank you very much, that would be all.
We are shown Triple H walking to the ring.
