“Dynamite” opens up with Jake Roberts in a pre-tape. Roberts says
that the TNT Championship was made for Lance Archer because he
commands attention and he is someone that was made to be put on the
forefront. “In our minds this TNT Championship is a bone,” Roberts
says. “Do you really want to come and try to take away a bone from
this dog?”
Roberts says that Archer was forced out of this country to Japan
just to make a living and he’s back and he’s pissed off. “He has
something that one of you people have,” Roberts says. “He’s a
freaking animal. Listen to me… or regret it. It’s your choice.”
A video package highlights Colt Cabana and his career trajectory.
Cabana says that Archer dominated Japan but Cabana says he was
“dominant” in Japan, China, and Australian and all over the world
for years before Archer. “My track record is just as good or better
than Lance Archer,” Cabana says. Cabana says he isn’t looking past
Archer because he is a “big bad dude” but he has wrestled other “big
bad dudes” and he has beaten them. Cabana says all he is thinking
about right now is the TNT Championship and he is gambling on
himself right now.

gives her rules to being one. Rule #1 is fighting fair and she
alleges that Shida did not fight fair against her last week. Baker

with her own grit, dedication and passion to be the face of the
women’s division.
