*Mike Knox pinned Ricky Ortiz with his finisher. Slight "Let's go
Ricky" chants.
ECW is up first.
*ECW opens with a video on Christian Cage's ECW title win. Christian
comes to the ring in street clothes. He said that ever since he returned,
he said he'd be ECW champion. He said that before Jack Swagger comes out
and tries to interrupt him, he wants to say today is the greatest day of his
career as he's standing before all his peeps as champ. He dares Swagger to
come out but instead out comes Tommy Dreamer in a suit. He said we finally
have a champ that epitomizes everything ECW is about. He said that he made
a promise to win the title or walk away. He said he has less than six
weeks before his contract expires and is here in MSG to challenge Cage.
Fans chanted ECW.
Cage offered to do it tonight but out came Swagger. Swagger said he wasn't
going to let the farce go on because Cage is only champion because he cheated
and that's not fair. He said the idea that Dreamer wants a title shot is a
joke. He said that in three weeks at Judgment Day, he has his rematch and
will take the belt back. Until then, he tells them to stop wasting
everyone's time.
Tiffany comes out. She says that Swagger does have a title shot at the PPV
but he's wrong in that no one else can have one. She says they will have a
title match tonight.

Vladimir Kozlov cut a promo from the stage dressed like a Russian soldier saying
it was just a matter of time before ECW fell under his complete domination.
Gregory Helms debuted as a backstage interviewer with special guest Evan Bourne,
who said he had title aspirations. Paul and Katie Lea Burchill showed up and
said they will have a rematch on WWE Superstars this Thursday.
Tommy Dreamer defeated Christian Cage by DQ when Jack Swagger hit the ring and
attacked Dreamer as he was preparing to attack Cage, who was tied to the tree of
woe. Swagger laid them both out.
