The show opens with scenes of CM Punk winning the EGO Championship at Dawning of an Era.
This Fire Burns plays, and Big Time walk down to the ring in suits, all holding their titles.
CM Punk: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to celebrate. You see last Sunday was a show aptly named Dawning of an Era. And the show truly did live up to its name. It was indeed a dawning of an era. It was the dawning of the era of Big Time. You look up at us in the ring, and what you see is talent, what you see is greatness, what you see is champions! Last night we left our mark, we showed who truly are the most dominant wrestlers in EGO.
It all started with John here dominating Monty Brown, and walking away with the EGO United States Championship. Then, Kenny and Lance defeated five other teams to become the EGO Tag Team Champions. And finally, I defeated five other superstars who were all targeting me to become the EGO Champion.â€
John Morrison: “Punk is exactly right. Last night I showed why I am the Wednesday Night Delight, the Shaman of Sexy, the Guru of Greatness, and why I am the EGO United States Champion. Now Monty Brown is a great athlete, no doubt about it. But did he think he could hang with the big boys? Did he ever truly think he could defeat me? I seriously doubt he did.â€
Kenny Dykstra: “You see last night Big Time stood tall. Me and Lance defeated five other teams to win these titles just here. We defeated Cryme Tyme, who everyone was sure was going to win. Me and Lance not only proved that we are the best tag team in EGO, but we are also future hall of famers.â€
CM Punk: “Now seen as how I defeated five men last night, none of them deserve a title shot against the Straight Edge Superstar. So I think I may as well have Fate off, as there is no one worthy ....â€
Crawling plays, and Kyle Reynolds walk down to the ring.
Kyle Reynolds: “Now Punk, last time I checked, you didn’t make the matches. I did! And that means that I, not you, decide who gets a title shot. So here’s what I’m thinking. Tonight ...â€
This is a Test plays, and Test walks down to the ring.
Test: “Hold on just a second. Punk last night you defeated only one other man, and that was Raven. Raven is nothing but a worthless, hardcore sack of crap anyway, so it’s no great achievement. So since you didn’t defeat me, at Fate it should be CM Punk vs the Impact Player, God’s Gift to EGO, Test for the EGO Championship!â€
Kyle Reynolds: “Did you not hear me Test? Let me repeat it for you. I MAKE THE MATCHES. Not you. Not Big Time. No one but me. So if I can finally speak, I have ...â€
One of a Kind plays, and RVD walks down to the ring.
RVD: “Sorry dude, I know you were talking, but I couldn’t listen to the shit coming out of Test and Punk’s mouths any longer. But hey at least Test was right about one thing, you only defeated one man. And you had to pick up the scraps of the Whole Fucking Show to do it. So how about at Fate you actually prove to me that you deserve to hold the title? How about at Fate you go one on one with Mr Pay Per View? Well dude, what’s it going to beâ€
Kyle Reynolds: “That’s it! Tonight, Test vs RVD! The winner faces Punk at Fate. Now everyone shut the hell up and get out of my ring!â€
Paul Heyman: “Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Breakout! We are coming live from the Hammerstein Ballroom, and what an announcement to start off the show!â€
Eric Bischoff: “Punk defeated both men last night! Why do they deserve another shot?â€
Paul Heyman: “Whatever Bischoff. We now go backstage to Krystal.â€

Muhammad Hassan: “Well of course I beat that fat slob Rikishi, What moves does Rikishi have besides shoving his fat American ass at people? None. I am one of the greatest wrestlers on this planet. Yet you look down at me, and boo me. Why? Because I am an Arab American. Because I am a so called terrorist. I just want to be a normal person. Yet you racists don’t care, you just look at the colour of my skin and judge me. Each and every one of you makes me sick.
Tonight, in a matter of minutes I will continue my undefeated streak by defeating Brian Kendrick. It doesn’t matter who you are to me, whether you are CM Punk or Brian Kendrick. The era of Hassan is beginning. And I will never be defeated.â€

You see, neither of those two men have any right to challenge me for the EGO Championship. If I already defeated them both last night, why in the hell do they deserve another shot? They don’t. None of them deserve a shot at the Straight Edge Superstar. But because they both came out and cried to our General Manager Kyle Reynolds, they got a chance. Reynolds, you need to grow some balls.â€
Krystal: “Which of the two men would you rather face?â€
CM Punk: “I don’t care if it’s the muscle head Test, or the pot head RVD. None of them deserve a shot at all. If this is the best EGO has, I should be getting the night of at Fate.
