Lillian announces Rey Rey. (Guess Lillian’s wrist is doing well enough for her to be working tonight.) Both sets of announcers bounce back and forth talking about Rey Rey. King and Tazz are still going at it. RVD comes down to the ring through the ECW entrance off to the right of the regular WWE ramp.

Angle comes down to the ring through the ECW entrance.
Angle takes a mic. He says he wasn’t upset when Orton RKO’d him in front of his hometown. He loved snapping Randy’s ankle - loved hearing it snap, hearing him squeal like a pig. It was the best time he had breaking an ankle. He’s glad Randy took his challenge at ONS. Randy isn’t facing any Angle seen before, he’s facing the ECW Angle.
Orton’s music hits and cuts him off. He comes out to the WWE stage and asks if that should scar him. He says it doesn’t’. Orton says he feels sorry for Angle. Angle went from headlining WM to ECW. It’s like headlining a summer movie to doing hardcore porn. ECW fans like porn because it’s the closest they will ever get to having sex. Orton says he was drafted to Smackdown, but after a contract expiration - now Angle will be facing Raw’s Orton.
Angle says for the first time he doesn’t have to worry about offending Olympic officials or Vince. All he has to worry about is kicking ass. This Sunday Angle’s going to break his ankle, his arms, and his neck. Angle tells him to listen.
Orton cuts him off saying if Angle hadn’t broken his ankle he would be in Rey’s place holding the title. He sat in rehab for 60 days figuring out how to get back at Angle. Orton says it wasn’t a coincidence Angle got drafted when Orton came back. Angle will be the new face of ECW? Well, Orton is going to take apart Angle and in doing so will kill ECW. This Sunday he will single handedly destroy the legend of ECW.

Outback Mickie James is skipping along, heading for the ring with a big grin on her face. In a different hallway Jazz is stomping her way toward the ring.

Todd Grisham is outback talking to Cena who gets booed. Todd says Cena was attacked by Sandman and Sabu. Video of Cena nailing Sandman with a punch and then getting beaten down by ECW.
Cena says what we just saw puts it all in perspective. For the first time the title is on the line at an ECW PPV. If RVD win then the title goes to ECW. Cena says Bruno Sammartino, Hogan and Austin all held this belt. But if RVD wins it will be gone and be the ECW Title. If he loses then he will be the biggest goat ever. There won’t even be a WWE fan in the Hammerstein Ballroom. Cena says he’s going to be in the biggest riot in wrestling history. He could whine about it. He could loose some sleep. Or he could put his head down and fight like a man. He tells Sabu he’s pissed off the wrong fire breathing SOB.

Lillian announces Heyman. Tazz asks why Lillian is in there and not an ECW ring announcer. King says they couldn’t find someone ugly enough.

Heyman says it’s over whelming to the in the resurgence of ECW. He says ECW will be on SciFi on Tuesday. Finally ECW is coming back to prime time. It’s going to be a whole new breed of ECW. It will be everything it was, plus much, much more.
Heyman talks about the matches for this Sunday’s ONS. He is quite pumped up. He figures we should sample what happened last year at the ECW ONS PPV last year. Video from that show. ECW cleared the ring of WWE wrestlers.

In the ECW locker room Angle says he came to them because they are the most intense, most extreme there is - who are we? An ECW chant starts and they head out of the locker room.

In the WWE locker room Big Show says Angle betrayed each and every one of you. Angle out only for himself. You guys are different. Some of you guys are RAW, some Smackdown, but all one family. Lets go show ECW what they’re going to get. Are you ready? Lots of cheers from the boys. Lets go get them yells Show.

Lillian announces the winners as WWE. Orton is celebrating with his back to Show. Show rips off his RAW shirt to show an ECW shirt. Orton turns around and looks shocked at Show’s shirt. Show grabs Orton and chokeslams him before eliminating him. Angle looks at Show from the ramp and Show grins and nods. Angle climbs in the ring and jumps up on Show, wraps his legs around him and hugs him. Joey says he guesses this is what Show meant when he said ECW doesn’t know what they’re in store for tonight. (I had a huge feeling this would happen - Show going to ECW - as it made sense as a good zinger for the battle royal. I had this one guessed before the show started.)

Foley is on a stool in the ring under a spotlight. He asks how we have the nerve to say he sold out. How can we call him a whore. We think he hates ECW? He says he loved that place, but she didn’t love him back. She’s like the girlfriend he can’t let go of, but kills him to see. She wanted too much of his body, too much of his blood. So he found fame and fortune in WWE. Funk is right that the only difference between him and Dreamer is that he’s a whore and Dreamer isn’t.
Foley pulled a sock out of his pants and mad Vince laugh, Dreamer didn’t. But Dreamer has his pride.
Foley says he re-watched the WM match. No, it wasn’t the best ever. Maybe they have to be tougher and stronger. Funk is going to beat them up all over New York. When you look at Funk you see an old man. His slap hurt more than anyone else does, his punches cause concussions. He gets up in pain everyday looking for another great match. He blew Funk up in a match and Funk put his arm around him. He doesn’t want Funk’s arm around him.
He’s going to ONS to get ECW out of him. WM is nothing compared to what he’s going to unleash on Dreamer and Funk and DG you ECW. You stepped on his heart and soul and threw it all away. When he walks into the Ballroom as a WWE legend Dreamer and Funk will learn about loss. “Have a nice day.”

JR and King agree that this match could be the last match for one of these guys.
Tazz tells King to shut up.
King says he has more wrestling ability in one of his farts than Tazz ever had.
King gets to his feet and goes to Tazz. Tazz takes a few moments but gets to his feet. The two gets into a fucking fight and land behind an announce table. Refs come out to break it up and Joey is screaming to leave them alone and let them fight. JR and Joey are standing between the announce tables, JR closer to the fight. Joey is pissed and screaming. Joey is pushing his body into JR’s body harder and harder seeming to be looking for a fight himself. JR says something quietly to Joey who hits JR’s hat off his head. JR turns to face Joey with a pissed look on his face as it fades to commercial.
