Chapter 32: Making The Connection– BLOCKBUSTER Week 1 August

Pyro activated on the stage as the show started off and just as the crowd was starting to give out a reaction, they started booing when Ain't No Make Believe played. The International Champion John Morrison, followed by Monty Brown, the New Frontier Champion Benedict Rockwell and the International Tag Team Champions The Zeroes, made his way to the ring. They all entered the ring and Morrison was handed a microphone by Warwick and began to speak.

Morrison: "Standing before you people are the superstars who has made an impact on this show, those who shook the very foundations and made history. Alone we are formidable, but together we are unstoppable. Ask Batista or even The Undertaker, they have suffered under our might. Come Sunday, Benedict Rockwell and I will retain our respective titles from our opponents. Before Road to Nowhere, three men who have the bravery will face us in a 5 on 3 Handicap Match. These men are my former rival, Triple H, The Deadman, The Undertaker, and the No.1 Contender for the International Championship, Batista. Cheer now people because this will be the last time you see them as they were before we destroy them tonight for we are The Impact Connection!"

Morrison's music played once more as the group now called The Impact Connection exited the ring. Backstage, Carlito was about to be interviewed by Josh Matthews.

Matthews: "Carlito almost everyone would want to ask you why you are targeting Peter Impact just after he debuted."

Carlito: "I targeted Impact because I am getting tired to new superstars come here in this brand and be better than Carlito. I had more time in the ring than those doorknobs. Plus more championships than any of them combined and that, that's cool."

Just as he was about to leave the set, he bumped into someone and he was bigger and larger than he is. Someone Carlito had been associated in the past in the form of his former "backup", Matt Morgan.

Morgan: "Doorknobs? How about I make you eat one?"

Carlito gulped as Morgan threatened to attack him only to feign it and left the Caribbean Bad Apple. Now back to the ring, a tag team match was about to start.

Roberts: "This tag team contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, weighing in a combined weight of 400 lbs, Jimmy Wang Yang and Teddy Hart!"

Breakout, Breakout by All Time Low played and the newest team on the block came out to the stage. Teddy and Yang walked down the ramp and slapped hands with their fans near the ramp and entered the ring.

Roberts: "And their opponents, weighing in a combined weight of 497 lbs, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, The World's Greatest Tag Team!"

World's Greatest sounded and the self proclaimed greatest duo went to the stage and made their way to the ring. Haas and Benjamin taunted their opponents before the match because of their size.

Jimmy Wang Yang and Teddy Hart vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team

Yang and Haas stood in the ring as their respective partners were on their corners. They went for a collar-elbow-tie-up and Haas went on the offensive with a single leg takedown. Using his amateur wrestling skills effectively, Haas floated over to a front facelock and did a vertical suplex when they both got up to their feet. When Yang got up, he downed him with an arm drag twice before getting a taste of his own medicine when Yang did an arm drag followed by an armbar. Yang did an arm wrench and tags in Teddy with him doing an arm wrench takedown followed by a leg drop to it. Teddy whips Haas to an open corner and runs towards it for a successful stinger splash and takes Haas down with a hip toss. He then does a standing senton on his midsection before going for a 2 count pin. Teddy tags in Yang and they do a double back suplex followed by a Yang doing an inverted suplex to Teddy on Haas. Yang goes for a kick to the side of Haas only to get it caught and was swept off his feet. Haas now does a double underhook suplex before tagging in Benjamin. Benjamin now connected with a scoop slam and lands a legdrop. He then whips Yang to the corner and goes for a stinger splash only to eat the turnbuckle when Yang moved. Yang reached out for the tag to Teddy but Benjamin pulled him down to the mat using his hair. Benjamin now lifted Yang in a military press before dropping him on his knee for a gutbuster. He hooked the leg for a pin but Yang kicked out at 2. He tags in Haas and Benjamin holds Yang while Haas continually kicks him on the midsection until the referee had to break up the assault. Haas now puts Yang in a seated position with a snapmare and nails him with a shoot kick to the back. He then went for the Haas of Pain only to get kicked on the head in the process, breaking the attempt. Yang was about to charge towards Haas but receives a kick to the midsection. Haas then threw Yang into the air with a German suplex but Yang incredibly landed on his feet and tags in Teddy. The third generation member of the Hart family took down Benjamin from the apron after ducking a clothesline and lands a dropkick to Haas. Teddy bounces off the ropes and executes a tilt-a-whirl armbar takedown on Haas and follows up with a Fujiwara armbar. Before Benjamin could break up the submission, Yang stopped him with a jumping spinning leg lariat. Teddy and Yang now does a double team by whipping Haas to a corner and Teddy performs a corner backflip kick followed by a spinning wheel kick by Yang. Teddy now plants Haas with a reverse DDT and goes to the top rope. He kicks Benjamin off the apron after he tried stopping him and jumps onto Haas with the Hart Attack 2.0. Teddy pins Haas after the move while Yang prevents Benjamin from entering the ring with a baseball slide dropkick.

Roberts: "The winners of the match, Jimmy Wang Yang and Teddy Hart!"

The winning duo exited the ring as they celebrated their win together as a team at the expense of the World's Greatest Tag Team. Fans of the new team cheered for them as Teddy and Yang climbed the ramp. Backstage, an interview with the one who will challenge Jeff Hardy for the United States Championship was about to commence.

Matthews: "JBL, people have been speculating your motives on why you are challenging Jeff Hardy for his title. Do you mind telling us these motives?"

JBL: "People have been fans of Jeff Hardy for a long time since he entered this great industry. They have enjoyed watching him in his matches. Do you know how Jeff won millions of fans around the world? He did that by his daredevil, reckless, "extreme" behavior. He may call it a lot of thing but I call his actions by one thing; stupid. His fans are entertained with him jumping off ladders, breaking through tables, being hit by chairs. Being extreme doesn't make you deserving of being a United States Champion Jeff, it's being an American. He can represent "Extreme-a-topia" for all I care but son; this is the USA, not a world of grey like you live in. I will take the United States Championship off Jeff Hardy and truly represent my beloved country."

Fans booed the self proclaimed True American Hero as he left the camera view. Cameras went back to the ring for a one on one match.

Roberts: "This contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 226 lbs, Peter Impact!"

Boom by P.O.D was heard and the newest newcomer on BLOCKBUSTER went to the stage. He was being cheered by the crowd as Peter went down the ramp and into the ring. The past few weeks have been a little good since his altercations with Carlito but he was sure it wouldn't end just yet.

Roberts: "And his opponent, from Chelsea, England, weighing in at 247 lbs, Paul Burchill!"

Generator A hit and the Englishman from Chelsea, England walked down the ramp. He entered the ring and stared down his opponent. Burchill wants revenge on Impact after receiving an Impact DDT last week that led to his defeat.

Peter Impact vs. Paul Burchill

Burchill was the first to attack by kicking Peter on the midsection and punching Peter as he was cornered. He choked him as well shouted at him while the referee counted at to 4 where he stopped choking his opponent. Burchill whipped Peter across the ring but he stopped and went for a headscissors which was prevented when Burchill threw him over the top rope. Peter landed on the apron on his feet and nailed Burchill on the head with a kick to the head. He then went to the top rope with a crossbody on his opponent for a quick in but only got a 2 count. Peter was about to go for a suplex but it was countered with forearms to the back and turned into a double underhook suplex. Burchill then picks up his opponent and throws him right shoulder first to the steel ring post like he didn't care. He went out of the ring and slammed Peter's right arm around the post until the count of 4 of the referee. Burchill entered the ring and dragged Peter to the center of the ring where he stomped on his right arm. He dropped a knee on the arm and taunted him which got him booed by the fans. The Englishman picked up Peter to his feet but soon put him down after doing a shoulder breaker. Burchill was about to go for the Royal Mutilation which wasn't able to be fully applied when Peter immediately went to the bottom rope. Burchill tried to grab Peter but got a punch square to the face. He continued using his left hand in punching Burchill until he went for a clothesline which he ducked and connected with a hurricanrana. Peter bounced off the ropes with a left handed clothesline to his opponent. He then executes a one man flapjack to Burchill that added fire to his already burning momentum. The newcomer attempted the Impact DDT only to be countered with a Rolling Cutter but it was reversed with a Northern Lights suplex. Peter went to the top turnbuckle but was stopped by Burchill when he clocked him with a forearm. After going up the same turnbuckle and driving his knee to Peter's face, Burchill performed the C4 from the top and it was all said and done for Peter.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Paul Burchill!"

After successfully extracting revenge on Peter, Carlito made his way to the ring determined to send a message to the downed newcomer in the ring. Carlito grabbed a steel chair from ringside and was about to hit Peter's right arm with it until Matt Morgan ran down to the ring and stopped the attempt. The Cool Superstar fled the ring before Morgan came in and was about to go backstage when GM Jayden Smith came out.

Smith: "Hey Carlito, where do you think you're going? You have a match next, don't you know. Oh I haven't told you your opponent so that's why. Well your opponent is the man inside the ring, Matt Morgan! Now go so that the match can begin."

Morgan welcomed Carlito into the ring as he hesitantly entered it. Peter grinned as he left the ring and a new referee came to referee the next match.

Matt Morgan vs. Carlito

Carlito tried to attack Morgan with his punches but one got caught and was kicked on the midsection. He then pushed Carlito into a corner where he did a combination of elbows to the face and knees to the gut. Morgan used his power by throwing Carlito into the air with a hip toss. He then whipped Carlito to the ropes for a snap scoop powerslam and went for a pin but got a 2 count when Carlito kicked out. He then puts Carlito in a suplex position but leaves him being delayed up into the air before being slammed. Morgan does an arm wrench on Carlito and goes for a clothesline only to be ducked and hit by an inverted DDT. Carlito then stomped on Morgan and did a knee drop to the face. He followed it up with a springboard corkscrew senton and moonsault combination. Carlito kept Morgan down with a swinging neckbreaker and went for a pin but Morgan powered out at 2. The Caribbean Bad Apple nailed Morgan with a knee lift but missed the clothesline as he received a lariat from Morgan. The Blueprint kicked Carlito on the gut and drove him to the ground with a gutwrench powerbomb. He then signaled for the Chokeslam as he had Carlito in his clutches but Carlito raked him in the eyes and kicked him on the midsection then downed him with a lifting reverse STO. Carlito then went up to the high risk district as Morgan tried to get up. He then flew with a moonsault towards Morgan only to be caught and his opponent slammed him to the canvas with a powerslam. Morgan attempted the Hellevator only to be caught off guard when Carlito slipped behind him and went for the Backstabber. This attempt would only be for naught when Morgan was still on his feet when Carlito fell backwards. Morgan used this opportunity to level Carlito with the Carbon Footprint and then pinned his opponent.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Matt Morgan!"

Morgan picked up his first win in the brand he is now in over Carlito. The Blueprint exited the ring as the crowd cheered for him followed by a commercial break.

-COMMERCIAL-

The show returned backstage from its commercial break and we see Triple H about to be interviewed.

Matthews: "Triple H, do you plan using your match in the main event as a stepping stone for your next title shot at the International Championship?"

Triple H: "Of course I do. Anyone with more than half a brain will do just that to get a step higher on the contender ladder. I do hope Batista beats his ass on Sunday and when he does I'll get my hands on the International Champion."

The Cerebral Assassin left to prepare for his upcoming match in the main event that has the deck stacked against his team. The next match was next so the camera went to the ring for the next hard hitting match.

Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, standing at 6 feet and 8 inches, weighing in at 350 lbs, "The Monster" Abyss!"

Down in the Catacombs played and the Weapon of Mass Destruction walked down the ramp to his match. In just 48 hours, he will face off with King Booker who wants to avenge his wife who was "attacked" by Abyss after she tried attacking Abyss from behind.

Roberts: "And his opponent, from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing in at 230 lbs, Elijah Burke!"

Don't Waste My Time sounded as Burke as he began his descent down the ramp and into the squared circle. Burke would like to send a message to Rey Mysterio, who he has tried to gain the upper hand against since the last pay-per-view after he got pinned in the match.

Abyss vs. Elijah Burke

Burke tried to avoid Abyss' attempt to grab him as he missed and got cornered by Burke. He then landed a few body shots on Abyss before getting pushed away. Abyss caught a charging Burke and slammed him against the turnbuckle. Abyss got in a few knees to the gut before whipping him across the ring to the ropes with a shoulder block. He then downed Burke once more with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Abyss follows up with a delayed back suplex attempt only to get a punch to the face that got him down. Burke took his rights and lefts to Abyss and kicked him on the side followed by a Russian Legsweep. He had Abyss down and he intended to let it stay that way as he stomped on him repeatedly. The Paragon of Virtue bounced off the ropes with a knee drop to the mask protected face of Abyss then went for a pin but got a 2 count. Burke set up Abyss in a sitting position where he kicked Abyss' back four times before ending with a clothesline. He then hooked Abyss' leg for a pin but got a 2 count again instead. The Silver Tongued Pugilist then waited for Abyss to get up and lifted him for a back suplex followed by an attempt on a suplex but got countered with a swinging neckbreaker. Abyss got back into the match with a clothesline to his opponent. The Monster then whips Burke to the ropes and throws him up into the air with a backdrop. With Burke placed in the corner, Abyss squashed him with a corner splash. This had Burke sitting in the corner which was a bad place when Abyss charged towards him but dodged it. The Black Pope managed to hit the 4-Up Combo on Abyss and went for a pin but got a 2 count. He whipped Abyss to the ropes and went for a hip toss but was stopped. Abyss went for a punch which missed and received a STO. Burke hooked Abyss' leg for a pin but he kicked out at 2. Burke whipped Abyss to the ring and lowered his knee pads, signaling for the Elijah Express but as he ran towards his target, he got a boot to the face. Abyss now carried Burke on his shoulders for the Shock Treatment. Before he went for the pin, King Booker came down and tried to attack with the royal scepter only to miss and earned himself a boot to the face. The referee had stop Booker from entering the ring while the match was still in event. Burke managed to grab the scepter and leveled Abyss on the face with it. He called the ref and pinned his opponent.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Elijah Burke!"

The Guiding Light stood up and celebrated his win before exiting the ring while Booker entered it. He was measuring Abyss, who was still out from the scepter shot to the face, but was forced to pull him up to his feet. Booker pounded on Abyss for a while before kicking him on the gut and bounced off the ropes with the Scissors Kick to the back of the head. The Royal Superstar grabbed a microphone and looked at his downed opponent at Sunday.

Booker: "This is just a taste of what you are going to get from me this Sunday. My wife will be watching from our beautiful home in Houston and she will see the royal beating I am going to hand you at Road to Nowhere!"

The Ruler of the BLOCKBUSTER Kingdom dropped his microphone and exited the ring being booed by the crowd after attacking Abyss. Now backstage was the team of AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels were about to be interviewed.

Matthews: "Gentlemen, what do you think of the International Tag Team Champions joining forces with John Morrison and the rest of the Impact Connection?"

AJ: "Well those two were never liked by the fans and never good at being actual tag team champions. They just bagged the titles to brag they hold them and cheat to retain them. Do you even see an International Tag Team Championship match at Road to Nowhere?"

Matthews: "No there's no International Tag Team Title match."

Daniels: "Exactly. They cower behind their faction mates because they fear of losing their titles to the other teams, like us, teams who are more deserving than The Zeroes to hold the championship. We are challenging The Zeroes to prove us, The Prince of Phenomenal and The Wrestling Prophet, wrong."

The two left the set and was cheered by the fans. They didn't see the International Tag Team Champion, The Zeroes, watching from afar. Now back to the ring where another contest is about to start.

Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 165 lbs, Rey Mysterio!"

Booyaka 619 hit and the Latin warrior came out then activated his pyro. As Mysterio walked down the ramp, he acknowledged the fans as he passed them. He has seen the message that Burke passed through by beating Abyss and Mysterio knows his problem with Burke is not yet over.

Roberts: "And his opponent, from New York City, weighing in at 290 lbs, John "Bradshaw" Layfield!"

Longhorn was heard as the long white limousine with longhorns entered the arena as JBL exited the backseat. Layfield made his way to the ring with a scowl on his face as he would try to get momentum for his US Title Match.

Rey Mysterio vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

Layfield and Mysterio circled around each other until Mysterio attempted a lock up but got a kick to the gut from his opponent. Layfield got in a few hits to the head before having Mysterio in a side headlock. He then really had the pressure on his opponent when Mysterio tried to push Layfield to the ropes. Finally Mysterio landed a few forearms to the midsection of his opponent and managed to back Layfield to the ropes using them to push his opponent across the ring. He was knocked down by a shoulder block from JBL. Layfield bounced off the ropes as Mysterio rolled to his belly making Layfield jump over him and then got a dropkick when he got back. Mysterio tried to whip Layfield to a corner but instead was the one put in the corner. He tried to charge which had him hit an empty corner and Mysterio connected with a double axe handle from the second rope. Mysterio goes for a pin only to get a 1 and a half count. He bounced off the ropes for a quick leg drop to keep Layfield from getting up followed by a senton. To his dismay, he got nailed by a knee to the gut despite his efforts of keeping him down. Layfield now put in two more knees to the midsection before slamming Mysterio with a scoop slam. He then stomps on Mysterio to mount some of his own momentum. He used his boot to step on Mysterio's throat to choke him up to the referee's count of four. After stomping a few more footprints on Mysterio, he picks him up whips him to the corner then runs toward him. Mysterio managed to put both of his feet to stop Layfield in his tracks. He quickly goes up to the top turnbuckle for a moonsault on Layfield for a quick 2 count. Mysterio does an arm wrench inside cradle but got another 2 count. He then bounces off the ropes as Layfield sat up only to get a dropkick to the face. Mysterio to the apron and hits a slingshot somersault legdrop. He tried to Irish whip JBL to the ropes only to get thrown to the steel ring post twice. After inflicting the damage on the left arm, Layfield does an arm wrench takedown, slamming the shoulder on the canvas. He then took a few moments to stomp at it before doing an elbow drop combination on Mysterio. He hooked Mysterio's leg but received a 2 from the referee. He dropped another elbow before telling Mysterio to get up. Layfield rammed Mysterio's left shoulder to the turnbuckle in the corner. JBL did this twice before going for an armbar. With the close distance of Mysterio's feet to the ropes, the referee told JBL to break the hold. The Self-Made Millionaire now had a cobra clutch on his opponent with added pressure on the left arm. Whenever Mysterio tried to get up on his feet, JBL would lift him up and slam him to the mat with the hold still applied. Mysterio used his free arm to punch JBL's face thrice and did a jawbreaker. This made JBL let the hold go as Mysterio used a flurry of kicks to the side to cut JBL down to size for a roundhouse kick. The Biggest Little Man came off the ropes and connected with a wheelbarrow bulldog. He tried to whip JBL in the corner but got thrown there instead. He put up his feet to stop Layfield from attacking and did a tornado DDT. He went for the cover only to get a 2 count. The match was all his as he performed a drop toe hold to Layfield to the second rope. He signaled for the 619 but after he bounced off the ropes Elijah Burke attacked him with a clothesline, causing a disqualification.

Roberts: "The winner of the match by disqualification, Rey Mysterio!"

Despite the announcement, Burke, who won in his match earlier, continued the assault by stomping on him. JBL came in and was angry with losing the match by DQ. Burke talked to him for a moment and agreed on attacking Mysterio. Burke held Mysterio as JBL connected with hits to the face. The Self-Proclaimed True American Hero ran to the ropes for his Clothesline from Hell only to hit Burke when Mysterio managed to get away. Mysterio then executed a tilt-a-whirl headscissors on JBL. He then ducked under a clothesline attempt but was caught when he attempted a crossbody off the ropes and was thrown with the Last Call.

Out of nowhere, the United States Champion came out to aid Mysterio from the attack. He ducked under a clothesline and kicked him on the gut for a sitout inverted suplex slam. Jeff went for a Twist of Fate on a now recovered Burke but was pushed away only to use the momentum for the Whisper in the Wind. JBL rolled out of the ring as Jeff positioned Burke on the second rope before Mysterio connected with the 619. The Extreme Enigma climbed the top rope and landed on Burke with the Swanton Bomb. Jeff and Mysterio stood in the ring being cheered by the fans as JBL retreated to the back for his limo, looking back over his shoulder seeing the man he will challenge for the United States Championship in just 2 days.

Now backstage, the New Frontier Champion Benedict Rockwell was backstage by himself about to be interviewed.

Matthews: "Benedict, your confrontation with the Undertaker with the New Frontier title on the line is just two days from now. What made you accept this match?"

Rockwell: "You see it's really simple. Like that line in my theme: "you've been striving to win, well you've been knocked down again, get up!" I've been knocked down in my life and when I came here to IWA, I told myself that would change, I strived to win. But when my undefeated streak ended, I was knocked down again. I am going to get up from that mess with a huge win on Undertaker and that will solidify my spot in this company's elite."

Just right after finishing his sentence, the lights went out backstage. This made Rockwell panic when the lights went back on, looking around quickly for the Undertaker before retreating to his locker room.

Roberts: "This next tag team match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in a combined weight of 530 lbs, Shad and JTG, Cryme Tyme!"

Bringin' Da Hood to U played and the team from Brooklyn strode down to the ring with the fans' cheers. Bringing some momentum with them to their match against The Class on Road to Nowhere would be pretty much a good thing for them.

Roberts: And their opponents, weighing in a combined weight of 372 lbs, Kid Kash and Jamie Noble, The Pit Bulls!"

Bawitdaba Pit Bull Remix sounded and the dog collar wearing duo came out to the stage and down to the ramp. Noble and Kash are looking forward to gaining another won for their team.

Cryme Tyme vs. The Pit Bulls

Noble and JTG started off at the start of the match and they did a collar-elbow-tie-up with Noble taking down JTG with a waistlock takedown. He kept the waistlock on to keep JTG from getting up. Noble drove his knee to the side of his midsection a few times before going for a quick 1 count. He dropped an elbow to the back once and picked him up for a snap suplex. He tagged in Kash as he did a pointed elbow drop to the back of the head of JTG. Kash whipped JTG to an open corner and does a running shoulder thrust. He then pounded on him for a short time in the corner and tried to whip him to the ropes only to get a reverse elbow. JTG lands a knee to the gut and bounces off the ropes then successfully does a leapfrog legdrop bulldog. He then backs Kash into his corner where Shad gets in with a tag. Shad then whips JTG across the ring only to feign it as he lifts him up and throws him backwards towards Kash. Shad now connects with a high angle back suplex then goes for a pin but received a 2 count from the referee. He then slams Kash with a scoop slam before running off the ropes only to get a forearm to the back of the skull from Noble. Noble tried a punch only to get thrown into the ring forcefully. He then bounces off the ropes with a double clothesline to both Pit Bulls, causing them to exit the ring. JTG is tagged in as he gets lifted up in a military press and thrown towards Noble and Kash. With the crowd pumped up, JTG soaks in the cheers before rolling in Kash into the ring. They both ready for the G9 which was halted by Noble as he dropkicked Shad on the back making him hit heads with JTG. Kash rolls up Shad but gets a 2 count only. He then goes to the apron for a somersault senton on Shad before going for another tag to Noble. The continued on the attack with stomps to the back and had a camel clutch on Shad to start the pain. When he tried to get up he would attack with crossfaces. Noble then tags in Kash as they attempted a double back suplex but failed when Shad fought back. Shad escaped with a double hip toss to the two then tags in JTG. He ducked under a clothesline and knocks Noble down the apron with a forearm. Kash went for a kick only to get a hard right followed by catapult to the ropes making Kash land on his knees for a backbreaker. After a dropkick, he went to the top rope with the crowd going wild as he launched himself for a diving leg lariat. He hooked Kash's leg but Noble broke up the pin at 2. Noble went for his Tiger Driver move which was interrupted when Shad came in with a big boot. The two signal for the end as Kash gets the G9 from Cryme Tyme, giving them the match.

Roberts: "The winners of the match, Shad and JTG, Cryme Tyme!"

The Robbin' Hoods of the squared circle celebrated their win until Big Daddy V and Matt Striker appeared on the stage. The Class was booed by the fans after interrupting Cryme Tyme's celebration. The two teams had a stare down going into their match in Road to Nowhere and the show went for a commercial break.

-COMMERCIAL-

Roberts: "This following 3 on 5 Handicap Match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 255 lbs, Triple H!"

The Game played as the lights dimmed a little and red, green and blue lights began to alternate when Triple H appeared on the stage and towards the ring. He entered the ring after making his usual entrance and waited for his partners.

Roberts: "And his partners, first from Washington D.C, weighing in at 290 lbs, Batista!"

I Walk Alone sounded when the challenger for the International Championship came out to his theme and activated his pyro. Batista was fired up as he would be sure enough to become the next International Champion when he meets John Morrison one on one.

Roberts: "Lastly from Death Valley, weighing in at 299 lbs, The Undertaker!"

The most spine chilling entrance in sports entertainment started as Rest in Peace was heard. The arena was then filled with fog and the lights were darkened when the Undertaker came down the ramp.

Roberts: "And their opponents, weighing in a combined weight of 1,196 lbs, they are the Monty Brown, New Frontier Champion Benedict Rockwell, the International Tag Team Champions The Zeroes and the International Champion John Morrison, together they are the Impact Connection!"

Ain't No Make Believe hit when the five men walked out to the stage together, being booed much louder than earlier that night. With two members of the team going to defend their title in the next PPV, they will need to be careful in this match with both their challengers on the other team.

Triple H, Batista and The Undertaker vs. The Impact Connection

Triple H decided to start for his team while Brown represented his team. The two started of with Brown landing the first punch as Triple H retaliated with his own. After trading punches, Triple got the upper hand before Brown got in a knee to the gut. With clubbing blows to the back, Brown dominated his opponent then whipped him to the ropes only to get a kick to the chest followed by a clothesline. HHH did an arm wrench on Brown twice before knocking him down again with a clothesline. He then tags in Batista who continued the momentum with a shoulder block. Batista slams Brown to the mat with a suplex and goes for a pin but got a 2 count. He whips Brown into the corner of his team and Undertaker tags himself in. Taker gets in a few blows to Brown before doing an arm wrench. He rams his shoulder to Brown's shoulder followed by another arm wrench only to be taken down by the hair. Brown tags in Rockwell as he sizes up his opponent with stomps. After getting in a knee drop, he taunts Undertaker with him sitting up. He tries to fend off Taker with punches which he receives a few as well. He tried the snake eyes on Rockwell after knocking him senseless with rights and lefts but is countered with a jumping Russian Legsweep. Rockwell tags out with Warwick who apparently didn't want to be in the ring with Undertaker. Warwick landed a European Uppercut on Taker two times before going for a kick that was caught and was pulled in for an uppercut. He then gets whipped to the corner and squashed with a clothesline followed by a sidewalk slam. After connecting with a jumping legdrop, Triple H is tagged in and he prevented Warwick from tagging with one of his four partners as he dragged him back to the center of the ring. He began dropping three elbows to the left leg of Warwick and kicked it a few times. When he got up, HHH bounced off the ropes with a chop block. He attempted a figure four leg lock but was thwarted when Titus attacked from behind. Warwick tagged in Titus and began pounding on Triple H from a mounted position as soon he got in the ring. Titus did a back suplex on Triple H and went for a pin but he kicked out at 2. Titus lifted up Triple H over his head in a military press and dropped him on his knee for a gut buster. He then does a senton on the gut before holding him up in a vulnerable state when he tagged in Morrison. The International Champion kicked and forearmed Triple H's midsection a few times until the referee counted to 4. Morrison then adds more momentum with a neckbreaker slam on Triple H then goes for a pin which only reached the 2 count. After a few forearms to the face of The Game, he bounced off the ropes for a running knee lift to the side of the skull. Morrison whips Triple H to the corner then charges but gets a reverse elbow for it followed by a falling neckbreaker. HHH crawls to his corner while Morrison easily tags in Rockwell who stops HHH from tagging Batista or Undertaker. Rockwell does a knee lift to the midsection twice before bouncing off the ropes with a legdrop bulldog to the back of the head. He hooks Triple H's leg for the pin but gets a 2 count after he got a shoulder up. The Music Maniac was intent on finishing the match as he whipped Triple H to the ropes for a clothesline which misses and gets greeted by a high knee to the face. Triple H finally managed to get momentum when he clotheslined Rockwell off his boots followed by a back elbow. He then whips Rockwell to the ropes but is reversed as he readies a back drop. Triple H counters this with his facebreaker knee smash and tried to follow up with a clothesline but Morrison foiled this when he kicked him square on the back of the head. This set him up for the Rockwell Rocker, his signature over the shoulder swinging DDT, and went for the pin only to have Batista interrupt it at 2. He then tags in Warwick and told him to finish it. Warwick drags Triple H to an open corner then goes up to the top followed by an attempt on the Zero Star Press which missed its mark. Triple H then crawls to his corner as Warwick struggled to get up. Finally, Triple H tagged Undertaker into the match. The Demon of Death Valley knocked down Warwick with an uppercut and an Irish whip to the ropes which was countered but hit a flying clothesline. Brown entered the ring to help but got a big boot to the face. He does an arm wrench on Warwick as he went to the top rope and came back down with Old School. After whipping Brown to an open corner as Warwick got up in one across the ring, Undertaker squashed both of them with clotheslines and ended it with snake eyes on Warwick and a big boot. Rockwell tried to interject himself by distracting Undertaker only to receive a right hand. Brown pounced on him from behind and attempted the Pounce that Undertaker managed to avoid by holding onto the ropes. Brown ran towards him which resulted in a back drop to the outside. Batista tagged himself in as Titus took out Undertaker with him over the top rope. Morrison helped out Warwick and ordered him to get Undertaker from the outside only to get leveled by a double spear from The Animal. Rockwell entered the fray once more by jumping Batista and whipping him to the ropes where he got in a spinning crescent kick. Triple H helped his former Evolution stable mate by tossing out Rockwell only to be tossed out himself. After slamming Titus and Brown into the security barricade, Undertaker got into the ring and waited for Rockwell to turn as he mocked Triple H. When he did, an open hand was waiting for him and Undertaker lifted him up and slammed the New Frontier Champion down with a Chokeslam. Batista finished the match by Batista Bombing Warwick on the center of the ring after a spinebuster and pinned him for his team.

Roberts: "The winners of the match, Triple H, The Undertaker and Batista!"

Business wasn't done yet as Morrison, Brown and Titus created chaos by attacking the victorious trio. Undertaker managed to subdue Brown with a Chokeslam as Batista downed Titus with a spinning side slam after bouncing off the ropes while Triple H spinebustered Morrison. Rockwell pulled Morrison out of the ring and handed him his title while Brown, Titus and Warwick were left for dead. Undertaker, Triple H and Batista did their finishing moves to Brown, Warwick and Titus respectively while Morrison and Rockwell retreated to the top of the ramp. Batista and Undertaker eyed the champions the are facing on Road to Nowhere as the show ended.
