In the opening match of the night, John Morrison made his EBWF debut against none other than Randy Orton. The fans were excited to see Morrison perform, but he soon turned them against him with his prima donna attitude. He and Orton locked up and the fans seemed split. Half were in Orton's corner, and half were in Morrison's. The two went at it for ten minutes, with Morrison having the clear advantage. He got the fans behind him when he hit a beautiful corkscrew moonsault. The fans applauded as he waited for Orton to get to his feet. He kept up his flashy style as he hit the Moonlight Drive on Orton! Morrison covered...1...2...3! He grinned and showed off his upper body as he posed in victory. The ref held up his arm, and he left the ring cockily.
Winner: Morrison
Reason: No Orton roleplay.

Match #2
The women's champ Jillian Hall made her way to the ring to a mixed reaction. Rico accompanied her and she showed off her women's championship proudly. The new EBWF diva Sara Del Ray made her way to the ring and the crowd gave her a polite applause, but didn't pay her too much attention as she wasn't all that well known outside of the indy fans. Jillian looked confident as she waited for the bell to ring. It did. She and Sara locked up and Jillian got Del Ray in a side headlock, followed by a bulldog. It was a little early for a cover but Jillian and she hit Sara with a leg drop instead. Rico clapped and Jillian grinned proudly. She continued the assault, and the newcomer didn't have much chance against the top EBWF diva. Sara attempted a come back, catching Jillian with a few right hands. Jillian seemed offended as Sara slapped the taste out of her mouth and she fired back with a clothesline. Sara hit the mat hard, and she didn't get much offense in after that. Jillian eventually hit the Hall of Famer and went for the cover. She hooked the leg and the ref dropped to the mat...1...2...3! Jillian defeated the newcomer in her first match since becoming the Women's Champ.
Winner: Jillian
Reason: No Sara Del Ray roleplay.
Segment
After the Jillian Hall/Sara Del Ray match the scene opened up backstage with Triple H and Shawn Michaels standing in the hallway talking casually. There was a shadow cast over them as a large man turned the corner. The camera panned out to reveal that the man was Kevin Nash, and the fans gave a pop. All three men were silent for a moment, but Hunter nodded to Kev and held out his hand.
Triple H: Good luck out there, buddy.
Kevin smiled and shook Hunter's hand, pulling him into a one-armed manhug.
Kevin Nash: Don't need it, bro. And by the way...
He tapped Hunter's world title
Kevin Nash: Contrats. See ya later. Good luck, Shawn.
Shawn Michaels responded the same way Kev had, with a small smirk.
Shawn Michaels: Don't need it.
Kevin Nash: Ain't that the truth!
He continued down the hallway and DX continued their conversation as the show went to a commercial break.
Match #3
After some commercials, S.C.O.M by Fort Minor hit and Kevin Nash got a great reaction as he stepped through the curtain. He held up a fist before continuing to walk down the ramp. He slid into the ring and waited for The Ultimate Warrior. As soon as Warrior slid into the ring Nash pounced on him. The ref rang the bell but Warrior was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Nash got the better of him and soon The Warrior was bleeding at the hands of the Big Man. Nash didn't waste any time. He hit the Jacknife and covered...1...2...3! It wasn't enough. He slid out of the ring and got a chair. He slammed it into the Ultimate Warrior's head and the referee yelled at him to back off. He didn't. He hit the Warrior again. Warrior was out cold. Nash set the chair up in a seating position, scooped Warrior up and slammed Warrior down onto the chair, flattening it. The ref warned Nash again to back up, and extra referees and EMTs ran to the ring. The crowd were in a frenzy when "Almost Over" hit and Wes Ikeda made his way onto the stage with a mic.
Wes Ikeda: Now what in the ever-loving hell do you think you're doing, Kev?! You know, I'm not exactly the biggest Warrior fan, but than man was an investment. His half-crippled ass doesn't have that many matches left, and you just took a bunch of 'em from me. You know what that means? It means you're taking money outta my pocket...and I don't like it.
Nash smirked and just shrugged as EMTs continued to load Warrior onto a stretcher.
Wes Ikeda: Oh, you think that's funny? That's a hell of a laugh, huh? I'll show you a laugh! You and your Kliq buddies think you're above the law - I'm gonna prove that you're not. As of today, you're suspended for 2 weeks...without pay! Laugh at me now, Kev...I dare ya... wanna make it a month?
Nash's face was the definition of anger. He glared at Wes coldly and was yelling "you can't do that", but without a mic.
Wes Ikeda: That's what I thought...and yes I can do that, cause I'm your boss. And if you're not down with that...
The crowd booed and Wes smirked.
Wes Ikeda: Well...you know the rest. Get off my show.
Security started to try and grab Nash but he shoved them off, saying he'd leave. Wes left the stage with a smirk.
Winner: Nash
Reason: Warrior is a douche! And some good old EBWF storyline!

Helms handed the belt to the referee as "Alive and Amplified" hit and the Miz stepped through the curtain. Miz made his way to the ring and he and Helms locked up quickly. The two put on a hell of a show as Miz flipped Helms over in a headlock, and Helms worked his way out of it by using the leg scissors to put Miz in a vulnerable position.

Winner: Miz

Match #6
Kane's old atmospheric music hit and he slowly made his way to the ring, masked, and mysterious. The fans were almost silent out of respect for the big man but there was tension in the air and a sense of anticipation. Kane stepped over the ropes effortlessly and slowly raised his arms in the air. He brought them down and fire rose out of the turnbuckles. The crowd cheered and Kane turned to fac the ramp. He looked very intimidating as Aint no Stoppin Me hit and Shelton Benjamin stepped out onto the stage. He got a mediocre reaction as he made his way to the ring. He didn't look intimidated by the giant but he didn't look all that confident either. The bell rang and Shelton went for a cheap shot, charging at Kane quickly. Kane saw it coming and grabbed Shelton by the neck. Chokeslam time so early? No! Shelton kicked Kane in the knee once, twice, and a third time for good luck and Kane released Shelton's neck and he favored his knee.

He quickly went up top, and threw himself off the ropes, going for a cross body. Kane caught Shelton and hit him with a fall away slam. He went for a cover but Shelton somehow kicked out after 2. He got back up and Kane grabbed him by the neck. Shelton struggled but Kane didn't chokeslam him. Instead he just squeezed. The referee warned Kane about the choke and started a count...1...2...3...Kane let go, and Shelton struggled for breath. Kane took advantage with the big boot. Shelton went down and Kane waited for him to get up. Shelton was back on his feet and this time when Kane grabbed him by the neck, he hit him with a thunderous chokeslam. 1..2...3!

Kane's music died down, and all eyes were on the stage as Konnan stepped through the curtain, mic in hand. Shelton was in the ring, just getting up.
Konnan: So Shelton, I guess I have pissed you off..huh. Well I could simply apologise for beating your ass or I could simply do it again at Aggression...what a tough choice. I will take my chances in whopping your ass again. So I will see you at Aggression and so you don't piss and moan, you wont have to worry about BG or Truth getting involved, I don't need my homies to fight for me....See ya later puto.
Shelton frowned for a moment, then he slowly broke into a smirk, nodded and mouthed "it's on!" as Konnan left the stage.

Reason: He had a better roleplay, and it was kind of my fault he RPed against the wrong person.
Match #7
"Chosen One" hit and the fans cheered as Jeff Jarrett made his way to the ring, carrying his tradmark guitar. He made his way the ring accompanied by Dusty Rhodes. He posed on the turnbuckles as "Sexy Boy" hit and there was a loud but mixed reaction as HBK made his way to the ring. Triple H was at Shawn Michaels' side, and he carried his World title proudly. He and Shawn exchanged a few words outside the ring before hi-fiveing one another while their arms were crossed in an X shape. Shawn slid into the ring and the bell rang. The crowd were mostly behind Jarrett but a few HBK chants broke out too. The two battled it out for five minutes with neither man having the clear advantage.

He launched into an elbow drop and when he came to land, Jarrett moved aside quickly, and HBK hit the canvas. Jarrett got up and roughly kicked HBK in the arm. Shawn groaned and favored his elbow. Jarrett kept up his offense and locked HBK in an armbar. Shawn struggled towards the ropes...he was inches away. Hunter had knocked Dusty down for the timebeing and looked towards the ring to see Shawn in a vulnerable position. He waited until the referee was looking away then he grabbed Shawn's arm and pulled it closer to the ropes. Shawn grabbed them and Hunter quickly stepped away so as not to look suspicious. When the ref noticed Shawn was holding the ropes, he broke the hold. Jarrett was back up first and he went to clothesline HBK over the top rope. HBK ducked and Jarrett went over the top rope. He didn't land that hard but Shawn ran into the ropes, rebounded back and hit a suicide dive, catching Jarrett with his torpedo-like body. The crowd applauded and both men were on the floor outside. The referee started to count... he got to 7 before Shawn was back in the ring. Jarrett was back in the ring at a count of 8.
