Warfare kicked off with the usual introducton video, but instead of the scheduled opening match, the lights went dark and ‘The Girls’ by Calvin Harris hit. Instead of Storm’s entrance video though, or an appearance by Lance Storm, a matrix-style video was shown. In amongst the coding are numerous messages aimed at insulting Storm, such as “STORM=BITCH” and “BRASS_KNUCKS.COWARD_LY”. Like the video used by Storm on Aggression, “CAN YOU CRACK THE CODE?” was asked. The question then changed to “CAN YOU HANDLE THE CONSEQUENCES?” and the video of Storm attacking Chris Jericho with brass knuckles began to play. The music changed to ‘All That Remains’ by Fozzy, and more cryptic coding appeared. Two messages were repeated throughout the code – “RETRIBUTION_IS.COMING” and “SAVE_US.Y2J”. The scene faded.
Match #1
After Joey Styles and Jerry Lawler bantered for a moment about the Y2J Video, Jillian Hall's entrance music hit and she made her way to the ring. She was making her debut with EBWF, and looked ready for her match against Tammy Sytch who on the other hand looked completely bored and annoyed at the thought of facing Jillian as she made her way to the ring. The two women locked up and Jillian turned the lock up into a side headlock. Tammy reversed and irish whipped her into the ropes. The Two women stared at each other before Jillian gave a confident smile at Tammy and hit a running dropkick on her. Jillian put Tammy in a Fujita arm bar and Tammy started screaming out in pain. The crowd were impressed by the women who they had formerly known as an annoying and terrible "singer" in the WWE. Jillian seemed determined to break the type cast and she locked in the move in harder and harder. It seemed Tammy Sytch would tap at any moment, but she finally grabbed the ring ropes and the ref ordered the hold to be broken. Tammy got up and slapped Jillian on the face. Jillian returned the slap right across Tammy's face. As talented as she wasn, she wasn't above sinking to Sytch's level. Jillian caught Tammy with a stiff kick the gut, knocking the air out of her. She took advantage of Sytch's vulnerability and hit the Hall of Famer before covering Tammy for the three count. The crowd gave Jillian a nice reaction as she left the ring. They had obviously been impressed by the EBWF's newest diva. As she reached the ramp, Rico came out to greet her. He seemed to be congratulating her, and he held up her arm before the 2 left the stage together.
Winner: Jillian Reason: Better roleplay.
SEGMENT Match #2
The match between Sabu and JBL kicked off before the bell even rang with JBL hitting a Gorilla Press Slam on Sabu just as he stepped into the ring. The crowd seemed behind Sabu, and with so many new stars debuting they were excited to see what the recruits could pull off. They weren't disappointed. Sabu gave his most extreme high-flying offense, but JBL did his best to keep the Homicidal, Genicdal one grounded. JBL went to put Sabu in a headlock but Sabu countered by biting JBL's arm. Sabu got up and jumped on the second ring rope. Without hesitating he jumped off again, catching JBL by surprise with a high cross body. Sabu picked JBL up and the two start to exchange blows with each other. JBL got the better of the fist fight and tossed Sabu into the turn buckle. He started to punch him in the mid section. JBL got a little cocky and started yelling at the fans at ring side which gave Sabu the opening to hit a Tornado DDT. Sabu took JBL down with the move, and went to hit his signature triple moonsault but JBL evaded it. Layfield got up and awaited for Sabu to get to his feet. Once Sabu was standing, JBL took him right back down with a clothesline from hell. JBL covered Sabu to win his first match in the EBWF.
Winner: JBL Reason: Better roleplay.
SEGMENT
After a commercial break, the show returned with Batista standing in the ring holding a microphone.
Batista: All right, welcome to another edition of Batista's manager search! So we are going to have ourself a segment called diss the Manager before I make the last elimination and choose the final 2. Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like you to giva a big welcome to the three finalists of Batista's Manager Search....
I Walk Alone blasted through the arena as the crowd went wild for the final three contestants.
Batista: Introducing first, He is the Scottish son of a gun, Roddy Piper.
Roddy Piper strutted to the ring and took a standing position in front of Batista.
Batista: Introducing next, her legs are longer then the Great wall of China, Stacey Keibler.
Stacey came out onto the ramp and the fans cheered. She did her poses and got in the ring, which greatly pleased the male audience.
Batista: Last but not least, we have the biggest baddest ass kicking machine, Kane!
Kane made a monstrous entrance which pyro exploding out of the stage. He walked to the ring without so much as cracking a smile, and when he stood in the ring he looked greatly intimidating. He glared right at Piper.
Batista: Alright guys, the rules are simple. You each have thirty seconds to diss your opponents, Piper, you're up first.
Piper: Stacey you're a three dollar whore. No one wants you to be their manager. Kane you might be big but you'e empty inside.
Batista: Alright next up is Stacey.
Stacey: Piper you're old and should go back to your retirement home. Kane you might be big up there but down there it's a totally different story.
Batista: Well that was certainly entertaining. Kane you're up.
Kane: You want me to diss the managers..
Kane walked around and looked at Stacey...and then at Batista...and then he grasped at Piper's throat and pummeled him with a devastating chokeslam. Batista and Stacey were kind of blown away. Batista quickly recollected himself and stared at Kane. Piper slowly got up and told Batista to kick Kane's ass. It looked like Batista was about to hit Kane for breaking the rules once again......however he turned around and level Piper with a harsh hard-hitting spinebuster!
Batista; Piper you wuss, you are eliminated. The finalists are Kane and Stacey Keibler.
I walk alone started playing again as Stacey Keibler made her way to the back. Batista then got out of the ring. Piper lay on the mat while Kane hovered over him. Kane then put his arms up in the air and brought them down while fire exploded from each of the turnbuckles. The familiar song "Slow Chemical" played on the sound system as Kane smirked evilly whilst walking away from the ring.
Match #3
The Match Between Kurt Angle and the Undertaker was cancelled.
Winner: Nobody Reason: No Roleplays.
SEGMENT
Backstage, Vickie Guerrero was just arriving at the arena. She was walking through the corridors trying to find her locker room and as she was walking she was meeting and greeting some off the staff and other wrestlers. She rounded a corner and ran into Karen Angle who had a smug look on her face, as she looked Vickie up and down.
Karen Angle: Who let the slut out?
Vickie Guerrero: Yeah who let you out?
Karen Angle: That would be funny if you hadn’t started sleeping around after... well, you know.
Vickie Guerrero: How about all the times you have seduced people to get what you want.
Karen Angle: You are just jealous I can seduce people to do what I want. They see your fat ass walking and their stomachs start to turn.
Vickie Guerrero: You are just so full of shit.
Karen Angle: Looking at your stomach I can see you are. You got more rolls then Pillsbury dough boy
Vickie and Karen continued to bicket a little bit more before Karen slapped Vickie in the face and walkd off with the same smug smile that had been on her face we seen earlier. Nobody bothered to explain their sudden EBWF arrival and the scene faded.
Match #4
Randy Orton v The Rock was also cancelled
Winner: Nobody Reason: No Roleplays.
Match #5
"Break It Down" hit and DX made their way to the ring. Triple H was dressed in his wrestling attire, with a Chyna t-shirt covering his torso. He had Shawn Michaels on one side, and Chyna on the other. The three got into the ring and were met by a mixed reaction. Hunter grabbed a microphone and cleared his throat. The crowd hushed a little, and Triple H began to speak...
Triple H: Damn right you're gonna listen when I wanna talk. Now...
He looked over at Shawn.
Triple H: ...How the fuck does that catchphrase go again?
Shawn Michaels: I dunno...something about being prepared?
Chyna: Really? You guys are boyscouts now?
Triple H: Hey, I may not be a boyscout, but um...I can erect a pretty fine tent! Yeah, something like that. Anyway...Lance Storm. We're supposed to have something to say about him. Well, Lance Storm... I would be willing to bet my whole life on the fact that no matter what you do, or what you've done, you will never ever be someone DX cares about. And besides...Shawn and I are pretty much reserved to the fact that no matter what we say about ya, it's gonna be more entertaining than anthing Batista's potential managers had to say to each other earlier tonight, right?
Shawn Michaels: Oh sure...and more entertaining than any Lance Storm promo.
Triple H: I dunno, that video last week was pretty funny. Apparently, we all suck 222. I'm wondering...is that inches? Cause whoever Lance was talking about in that video, he was probably giving them wayyyyy too much credit.
Shawn Michaels: Um...you...suck what?
Chyna: Never mind, Shawn. Hunter and I will demonstrate later. He's not quite standing at 222, but I have no complaints.
Triple H: Not that you've ever seen me naked or anything, because ewww, gross! Anyway. Lance... You're getting a shot at Shawn's title, and that's all well and good...but before we start dealing with you, there's a match to get out of the way. So without further ado... Batista, get your needle-scarred ass out here.
Triple H began to pull off the Chyna t-shirt and he threw it into the crowd just as "I Walk Alone" began to play. Shawn and Chyna exchanged a few words with Triple H before leaving the ring. Batista rushed into the ring and slid through the ropes. He went for a clothesline but Triple H ducked it. Batista turned back around and Hunter kicked him in the midsection. He appeared to be going for an early Pedigree but Batista arched his back and launched Triple H up over him. Triple H hit the canvas spine first, and winced slightly. Batista started kicking him in the rib and chest area and then threw him into the ropes before catching him with a spinebuster. Batista went for a cover...1...2...Triple H kicked out. Shawn Michaels was cheering Triple H on at ringside, and looked as if he was practically begging his partner to get the upper hand. Triple H fought back to his feet and he and Batista locked up. It was a test of strength, and somehow Triple H foced Batista into the corner. The referee asked Hunter to back up to let Batista out of the ropes, and he did, but got in a cheap shot by slapping Batista across the face. Batista was enraged, and shot a flurry of right hands in Triple H's direction. The match looked rough, and hard hitting. The offense evened out and there were a bunch of near falls for both men. Triple H threw Batista into the ropes and bent down as if to back body drop the big man. Batista telegraphed it though, and kicked Hunter in the chest. Hunter flew backwards and Batsita grabbed his hair. He shoved Triple H's head between his legs and signalled for the Batista bomb. There was a loud CRACK as Shawn Michaels slid into the ring and hit Batsita in the back with a steel chair. The referee immediately rang the bell and declared Batista the winner by DQ. All three members of DX were in the ring now. Shawn still had the chair and he cracked Batista in the skull with it. Hunter got back up and grinned. He asked Shawn for the chair and Shawn handed it over. Hunter hit Batista in the ribs, causing him to double over. He then hit the Pedigree. The two members of DX grinned and Michaels and Chyna began to put the boots to Batista. Hunter slid out of the ring, and grabbed a sledgehammer. The fans booed as Hunter brought the sledgehammer down into The Animal's ribs. Once, twice, and a third time for good measure. Chyna grabbed a microphone, and spoke.
Chyna: Oh....Dave... my boys forgot to tell you. They don't care if you get a world title shot. You'll be getting it next week on Warfare. You should probably see a doctor before then, huh? Good luck.
Break It Down hit and DX left the ring, leaving Batista knocked out and in agony on the canvas as Warfare went off the air.
Winner: Batista Reason: I wanted to give him a title shot.
