*GLASS SHATTERS*
The crowd goes into a frenzy as Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way down to ringside.
Booker T: Here he comes, man. The Toughest S.O.B. The CWF has ever seen!
Tazz: And the man who lost to Chris Jericho. Just saying.
As Austin gets into the ring and does his usual entrance....
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?!
Edge emerges also to a pretty big pop. He sprints to the ring, looking to not waste any time.
Booker T: Edge is all fired up tonight.
Tazz: Also, he lost to Finlay. Again, just saying.
Austin stares across at Edge, who's already pacing in the ring. Austin licks his lips a little, before advancing on Edge and already landing big shots to his head. Edge is rocked and backs up in the corner, taken aback by how early the offense has stepped up, as Austin begins to stomp a mudhole in him. He continues despite the referee counting to 4, and flips off Edge before stomping two more times and the official finally pulls him off. Austin yells at the referee who isn't having any of it. Suddenly, Edge runs in and clotheslines Austin's head off.
Booker T: Ohhhhh man. D'you see that, dat clothesline looked something nasty right there.
Tazz: Booker, of course I saw it, I'm sitting right next to you.
Edge runs his hand through his hair as Austin gets to his feet, eating another clothesline. Austin quickly gets up and takes another. Austin gets up quickly once again, and this time Edge nails him with a big boot. In a surprise move for Edge, the Rated-R Superstar scales the turnbuckle and waits for Austin to recover before hitting him with a big missle dropkick. Edge and Austin both get up and relatively the same time, and Austin goes for a clothesline of his own, but Edge ducks, Austin turns around, and Edge nails him with the Edgecution DDT! Edge moves to the corner, sits there, with his arm draped over the rope, and starts to pull his hair back violently, the famous facial expression on his face. A dopey Austin doesn't realize where he is. He turns around and sees Edge flying towards him. Austin side-steps Edge and he goes sailing shoulder-first into the ring post. Austin the sizes Edge up but, as he does, a mysterious masked man jumps the barricade and hops up on the apron.
Booker T: Now, what the hell is goin' on here?!
Tazz: I'm just as confused as you are, Book!
The referee is concerning himself with Edge so he pays no attention to what is going on. The masked man gets Austin's attention and, as Austin attempts to confront him, he blasts him in the jaw with a pair of brass knuckles. Austin stumbles back as Edge charges and the man drops off the apron. Edge nails a spear to the weakened Rattlesnake and gets the pin.

YOUR WINNER @ 4:32 “THE RATED R SUPERSTAR†EDGE!!
Booker T: Well, a nice victory by Edge but it came with a bit of help at ringside. Who is this guy?
Tazz: I dunno but he's got a problem with the Texas Rattlesnake, that's for sure!
As Edge leaves the ringside area, the masked man enters the ring and looks down on Stone Cold. All of a sudden, Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore appear from the back to add on to the already increasingly louder boos being thrown towards the ring.
Tazz: Look, it's Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore. What are they doing here?
Booker T: I guarantee they got somethin' to do with all this!
Matt and Shannon edge closer to the ring and eventually make it to ringside. The masked man mounts Austin and starts beating the hell out of him with the brass knuckles until Austin is bloodied and battered. Matt picks Austin up off the mat and hits a Twist of Fate onto the wrestling legend. Shannon grabs a chair and begins slamming it hard against Austin's prone body.
Booker T: This is just sick and malicious. Somebody get out here now, man!
All of a sudden, the newly-appointed WAR General Manager Bret “Hitman†Hart comes out to stop the vicious assault.
Bret Hart: Alright, that's enough! Stop it right now you three! What the hell is the matter with you? Attacking a wrestling legend for no good reason and costing him his match tonight. Do you have anything to say for yourselves?
Shannon is ordered to get Matt a microphone and Matt address out GM.
Matt Hardy: Bret, do you want to know what I have to say? Let me turn back the clock here and take you back to last Sunday at Invasion. Shannon and I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are the most impressive force the CWF, no scratch that, the entire wrestling business has ever seen. We eliminated the majority of the tag teams in the Tag Team Title match until we were screwed over by a pair of brass knuckles. And then what happens, huh? We weren't even booked on the card this week. So, we decided to make an impact and we fought fire with fire and screwed someone over with our own pair of brass knuckles and it just so happened we did it to the single biggest wrestling star in history. One because that seems to be the only way to get noticed around here and second because people like him have kept me down for far too long. I deserve an opportunity and I want his spot in the Elimination Chamber match seeing as how he's in no condition to make it there.
Bret scratches his nose and then offers his two cents.
Bret Hart: Ok, Matt. You win. You are officially noticed. But be careful what you wish for because now you have it. Seeing as how I can't afford to have another competitor be left out of the match, I'll give you the opportunity you crave. Matt, you are officially IN the Elimination Chamber match for the CWF Heavyweight Championship....on one condition. You see, I don't like people walking around thinking they can have secrets from me. Your friend in the ring.....I want him to reveal himself before I make it official. Is it worth being in the match knowing your ace in the hole will be exposed?
Matt gets closer to the ropes and glares a hole right through Bret.
Matt Hardy: Do you honestly think that intimidates me, Bret? Do you honestly think in that do-do headed brain of yours that me bringing in a guy in a ski mask would make much of a difference for me? I am going to walk out of the Elimination Chamber the CWF Heavyweight Champion whether you or anybody else likes it so yes, I will indulge you. Go ahead and let the whole world know just exactly who you are.
The masked man gets onto the top rope and looks down at Austin's bloody body. Bret comes down the ramp in an attempt to help but Shannon cuts him off and has a chair in hand. Bret stops in his tracks. The masked man then leaps off the turnbuckle and hits a Swanton Bomb onto Austin. The masked man takes off his mask and reveals himself to be Jeff Hardy.
Booker T: WHAT THE HELL?!
Tazz: HOLY S&%$!!
The crowd is in complete and udder shock at what they have just witnessed. Jeff Hardy has joined forces with his brother Matt and their childhood friend Shannon Moore. WAR fades as the three men leave the ring as Bret checks on Austin in the ring.
