Here is your winner, and new IPW Television Champion, Carlito!
Styles: Wow, what a great match that was. I was expecting it to be a highly competitive match and that’s exactly what it was, I am glad Carlito won because he deserved to.
Adamle: What a great way to kick off No Way Out, with the Television title match which had a lot of great action in it. Matt Striker could have had the win there but Carlito struggled his way back up to his feet and hit him with the Back Cracker!
Styles: I am sure Matt Striker, William Regal and D-Lo Brown will all be disappointed after this match but they shouldn’t be because they all tried there best but Carlito was able to come through on the night.
The camera then goes backstage to the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho with JB!
JB: Well Chris, tonight is the night you go one on one with Kurt Angle but that’s not all, your World Heavyweight title is on the line. What are your current thoughts?
Jericho: Borash, Kurt Angle thinks he is better then me, hell, Kurt thinks he is better then any other wrestler alive today but the one thing that makes me know for sure that he isn’t the best there is, is because I am the World Heavyweight Champion. I am the first ever IPW Champion and I will be the only man to have held this belt for a very long time. Tonight I defend my World title for the very first time, now like most people I was going into this match a little worried but I realized I have no need to be worried. I won this title by beating Kurt Angle the first time and this time it’s just me and him which should make this match quicker then it was the first time around. JB, I can assure you that tonight Y2J, Chris Jericho will leave, still, the IPW World Heavyweight Champion!
JB: Okay, so do you have any game plan going into this match Chris, how do you think you will be able to get the win tonight?
I wouldn’t really call it a game plan but more of a match style. Tonight in my match all I really need to do is hit Kurt with a couple of quick moves to gain the advantage. The main thing I will be focussing on during this match will be keeping my ankle away from Kurt Angle dirty little hands; I don’t want to be getting myself into the Angle lock.
JB: Alright, now do you have any last words?
Jericho: Yes I do. Y2J, Chris Jericho, the Iatolla of Rock ’n’ Rolla would just like to say to that tonight Kurt, when I lock you in the Walls of Jericho you better tap out as soon as you get the chance because there is no escaping the walls! Now JB I will talk to you later once I am done retaining my World title.
JB: Ahhh yeah Okay, thanks for your time Champ.
Styles: Chris Jericho seems to be really pumped up for his match tonight where he takes on Kurt Angle in our main event.
Adamle: He is very pumped up by the sounds of things Joey, and I really can’t wait for the World title match later this evening!

The camera goes backstage to JB who stands by with Shawn Micheals…
JB: Shawn, last week in a gruelling match with Kurt Angle you came out victorious but with a hurt ankle. You have that ankle heavily wrapped; do you think that will affect you in your match tonight with Randy Orton?
HBK: Jeremy, I’m not gonna lie to you, its not looking very good. Last week when I faced Kurt Angle he locked me into the Angle lock and I am feeling the effects of that now, it will affect me in my match tonight JB, but that is not going to stop me from kicking Randy Orton’s ass! He has pissed me off to much for me to stop now and my ankle being hurt will definitely not stop me from getting in the ring and competing in front of these thousands of fans! Randy, if you think that you are going to end my career here tonight then you are wrong by a long shot. It’s people like me Randy that got you where you are today, but your ego has overgrown and you don’t realize that anymore. Tonight Randy, in that very ring I am going to hit you with the Sweet Chin Music! And the winner of the match will be the Show Stopper, the heart break kid, SHAWN MICHEALS!
Styles: Shawn Micheals ankle isn’t looking to good but what a lot of heart he has, he is still going to compete here tonight!
Adamle: Yeah well it wouldn’t be like Shawn Micheals if he backed out because of an injury. What a match that will be later on tonight!
Styles: That’s right Mike. The Heart Break Kid has never been a let down to any of his fans and tonight will be no different. Later on…
