9-25-06 WWE RAW (Live from Oklahoma City)
- WWE promo hits (which still included a shot of now TNA star Kurt Angle). WWE Raw promo hits. We go live to Oklahoma City where a huge display of pyro goes off. The lights in the arena then go dark and we see spotlights moving across the crowd. The camera goes on Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler who let us know they are having some technical difficulties at the moment.

- Lilian Garcia goes to introduce Candice Michelle, but her mic is dead. We hear Candice's music and she comes down the ramp on a dark set with only a spotlight focusing on her and a few more on the ring. Lita was out next. The lights are still out and the entire Raw setup is dark. Kinda felt like you were watching a House Show on TV, only with bad lighting. Not WWE's fault though.

- Lita defeated Candice Michelle with Edge as a special guest referee in Round 1 of the WWE Women's Title Tournament. Lita introduced Edge as the special guest referee. Edge checked both Candice and Lita for any foreign objects. When the bell rang, Edge hit Candice with a Spear and Lita covered her. Just as Edge counted the "3", John Cena hit the ring and took out Edge. Some lights started to come back on in the arena as Edge and Lita bolted up the ramp.

===COMMERCIAL BREAK===

- Back live, all the lights are back on in the arena. John Cena gets on the mic and says Edge tried to knock the power out because he didn't want to fight him. Edge tells Cena to shut up and that he will probably take credit for the power coming back on now. Cena said the fans want to see him kick his ass. Edge mocks the fans when they answer back and he said they wouldn't be taking place tonight because he would invoke his re-match close on his own terms. Cena then started making slut jokes about Lita. Lita said she is a human being and those jokes hurt. She calls Cena a joke and how everyone in the locker room thinks he is a bad wrestler. Lita says Edge is a better wrestler than Cena and adds that even she is better. Edge then challenged Cena to face Lita tonight with one arm tied behind his back. Cena accepted and Edge calmed down Lita who didn't like the idea.

- Clips of WWE in Mexico were shown.

- Kane defeated Johnny Nitro via DQ in a WWE Intercontinental Championship Match; Nitro retains. The match finished when Umaga hit the ring with Kane having Nitro setup for a Tombstone Piledriver. Umaga hit Kane over the back with a steel chair and then hit his head with a huge charge in the corner.

- Backstage, Shawn Micheals was reading the new WWE Magazine when Triple H walked up. He mentioned the article about Triple H and how he managed to talk about Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, the Madison Square Garden incident and more. Triple H reminded him he talked about his different choices of facial hair as well. Michaels complained there was no advertisements for DX gear in the magazine. Both did the cheesy plug for WWEShop.com where you can buy all your DX gear. Maria walked up and asked them about the Gauntlet later tonight. Triple H said they had two words for Coach and the crowd finished it. Maria said she didn't catch that. Triple H whispered into her ear. She said she still didn't get it. Triple H tried to offer a "visual aid" by starting to pull down his trunks when Michaels pulled him back and they left. Eugene walked up and said hi to Maria. Maria said DX just told her to "suck it." Eugene rolled his eyes into the back of his head and fell over.

- Backstage, The Coach approached Shelton Benjamin who was with Torrie Wilson and her dogs. Coach asked Benjamin why he tried to embarss him last week by saying he was overlooked in WWE because he was a black man. Coach said Benjamin never captializes on his opportunites. Benjamin reminds him that he is a former three-time Intercontinental Champion. Coach said Benjamin shouldn't accuse McMahon of discrimination since Martin Luther King Jr. was his hero. They continue to argue when Jeff Hardy walks up trying to be black (and it wasn't funny). Coach booked the two in a match later tonight. Edge and Lita then walked out of Coach's office. They brought up Cena accepting a match with Lita tonight with one arm tied behind his back. Coach made it a No Holds Barred Match, but said Edge couldn't lay a finger on Cena and if he did, he would lose his re-match for the title.

- John Cena teaming with Batista & Bobby Lashley against King Booker, William Regal & Finlay on Friday Night Smackdown this week is plugged.

- The Coach was in the ring when we came back live. He introduced the former General Manager of Raw, Eric Bischoff. Bischoff came out with his new book in hand. Bischoff got on the mic and brought up how he was fired by Vince McMahon back in December. He talked about signing a book deal with WWE before he was fired and plugged the title - "Controversy Creates Cash." Bischoff said he tells the truth about his career in the book, adding that some of the things he said were going to piss off Vince McMahon. He said it will tell the truth about how this very show wouldn't exist in its current form with WCW Monday Nitro. Bischoff said there would be no DX without the nWo. He then said there would be no "Mr. McMahon" if it weren't for himself. The Coach's music then started to play and Coach pulled the mic away from Bischoff. Coach told Bischoff he was done when Lita's music started to play. Lita came out along with Edge, who was holding the rope to be used on John Cena later.

- WWE RAW World Champion John Cena defeated Lita with one arm tied behind Cena's back. After the referee tied Cena's arm behind his back, Lita got in a few slaps then a low blow. Cena then grabbed Lita with his free arm, threw her up on his shoulders and hit an FU. Cena covered Lita to get the pinfall.

After the match, WWE Smackdown World Champion King Booker, William Regal and Finlay hit the ring and started attacking John Cena. Booker said it was time for Cena to be humbled tonight because he thinks he can waltz into Smackdown. Lots of brawling for what seemed like forever when Cena trying to fight off Regal and Finlay. It ended with Finlay knocking out Cena with the shillelagh and then forcing him to kiss Booker's foot.

When Booker, Regal and Finlay all left, Edge came into the ring with a mic. He started laughing at Cena who said he will get his ass kicked this Friday on Smackdown. Edge then told Cena he was going to invoke his re-match clause and said next week, for the WWE Championship, it would be Cena vs. Edge inside a Steel Cage.

- The ECW opening airs. We then go live to Tulsa hearing the ECW theme song. Joey Styles and Tazz plug the ECW World Title Match later tonight between champion Big Show and challenger The Sandman. Justin Roberts then welcomed Oklahoma's own, Jim Ross. Ross came out and shook the hands of fans on the way to the ring. Ross got on the mic and thanked Styles and Tazz for inviting him to ECW. Both Styles and Tazz talked over Ross debating who invited him. Okay? Ross said he was a big ECW fan and how he watches every week. He went on to talk about how it reminded him of the old Mid South Wrestling days when Matt Striker's music hit. Striker took the mic from Ross and said he was out there on behalf of Paul Heyman to teach the ignorant masses. He said listening to Ross speak, it is painfully obvious to him that he lacked education. Striker noticed Ross was wearing a blue shirt and made "blue collar" references. He then called Ross old and wondered where his cane was at. The Sandman hit the ring with a sinapore cane in hand. Striker begged Sandman not to hit him. Sandman took out Striker with the cane and then handed it to Ross. Ross cracked it over Striker's back. Ross then got on the mic and said before he had a cold beer with Sandman, he first saluted him as the next ECW World Champion. Both smacked beers as the segment came to a close.

- A promo featuring Eric Bischoff talking about his upcoming book airs. It had a very "nWo" promo feel to it. Bischoff said the "Monday Night Wars" DVD was only part of the truth since he didn't edit it personally. He said in his book, he tells the truth about everything involving WCW Monday Nitro, to claims that Ted Turner wanted to put Vince McMahon out of business. Bischoff added many will be pissed after reading his book such as Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Jim Ross, Steve Austin and Vince, Shane or Stephanie McMahon. This was a solid promo for the book.

- ECW in two weeks featuring Extreme Strip Poker is plugged.

- Backstage, Hardcore Holly is shown. He introduces himself and said he isn't going to stand here and tell Rob Van Dam what he is going to do to him, he will simply show him instead.

- Rob Van Dam defeated Hardcore Holly in an Extreme Rules Match. Very solid TV match between Holly and RVD. Lots of back and forth early on in the match until the action spilled to the outside. Two tables were setup near the ring apron when both brawled back into the ring. In the biggest spot of the match, Holly ended up suplexing RVD over the top rope and both crashed through the two tables setup on the outside. When the show came back live, we see a shot of Holly's back which now has a huge gash. His skin was literally ripped open from the left side of his back to the middle. Lots of blood coming out of it. They kept getting shots of it during the match as much as possible. Another spot saw RVD suplex Holly's bloody back on top of a steel chair. RVD then kicked the chair into Holly's face in the corner and followed that up with a Rolling Thunder with the chair on top of Holly's chest as well. Holly came back with a huge powerbomb on RVD on top of the steel chair. Later, RVD attempted a Five Star Frog Splash with the steel chair over Holly, but when RVD was on his way down, Holly launched the chair into his face. The finish saw RVD counter an Alabama Slam from Holly, spin kick the chair into his face and connect with a Five Star to get the pinfall. Really solid match. Medical staff hit the ring and bandaged up the gash on Holly's back. The fans in Tulsa clapped for Holly when he was taken out.

- Backstage, CM Punk said everyone already knows he is straight edge - meaning he doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs. He said his goal in ECW is to compete with guys like Rob Van Dam, Sabu and The Sandman. Punk said he would even step into the ring with the Big Show. Kelly Kelly then walks up interrupting Punk. She notices he has a tattoo of Ace cards on his arm and brings up the Extreme Strip Poker coming up on ECW in two weeks. Kelly said she is only 19 and can't get into casinos, but asks Punk if he can show her some strip poker. Punk says that is trouble when Mike Knox walks up. Knox asks Kelly why she keeps hanging around Punk. Knox asks Punk if he has a woman and he says he does, but added that Knox built a fence around Kelly and that she keeps jumping into his yard. Knox said he was going to straighten out Kelly and then come looking for Punk. Punk said he would be right where he was waiting for him.

- Clips from "The Marine" with John Cena are shown.

- Ariel vs. Francine in an Extreme Cat Fight ended in a No Contest. Before the match started, Ariel got on the mic calling Francine fat and ugly. She said Francine could never be with someone as masculine as Kevin Thorn. Francine then tackled Ariel. Styles let out his famous "CAT FIGHT!" line. Tazz said he hated that. After some short brawling with Francine getting the upper hand, Thorn hit the ring and grabbed Francine. Balls Mahoney then hit the ring and cracked a steel chair over Thorn's head. Thorn rolled out dazed as Ariel screamed in frustration.

- A promo airs showing highlights of The Sandman.

- Backstage, Paul Heyman is with ECW Champion The Big Show. Heyman said Sandman is dangerous. Show quickly cut him off saying he was a giant, The Big Show, the ECW Champion. Heyman smiled at this. Big Show told Heyman and his security guards to stay backstage and added that he wanted the singapore cane as a legal weapon. Heyman looked mad and the security guards both stared at each other.

- Backstage, Rene Dupree is shown exiting the showers with a towel on. He called himself the most extreme athlete in ECW once again. In a scene that wasn't needed, Dupree opened up his towel, looked down and smiled at the camera.

- ECW Champion The Big Show defeated The Sandman to retain the ECW World Championship. Match kicked off right away with Sandman caning Big Show across his body and knee. During the match, Joey Styles noted that Hardcore Holly required 24 stitches after his match with Rob Van Dam earlier tonight. Big Show made a quick comeback on Sandman with some stiff chops. Big Show's eye was swollen after taking a shot from Sandman earlier. The finish saw Big Show hit his backbreaker across his knee into a big leg sweep leg drop. Big Show covered Sandman and got the pinfall. After the match, Big Show left the ring and paused in the ECW entrance area holding up the ECW World Title laughing.

9-28-06 NWA-TNA Impact
NWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett and Lance Hoyt never officially started their match. Jarrett attacks Hoyt and beat him all over the arena. Jarrett then got back in the ring and grabbed the microphone. He showed the audience the welts on his back. He blamed the fans for that. He said that Jim Cornette needed to force Samoa Joe to return his belt. If not, whatever happened to Joe would be Cornette's fault.

At a press conference, Jim Cornette announced that at Bound For Glory PPV, there would be a Monster's Ball Match involving Abyss, Brother Runt, Raven and Samoa Joe. Also, Senshi would defend the NWA World X Division Title against Chris Sabin. He then promised that he would later reveal more about Kurt Angle's involvement at the PPV.

Jim Cornette went to the ring and tried to take the World Title belt back from Samoa Joe. Joe told Cornette that if Jarrett wants the belt, Cornette should tell Jarrett or Sting to come and get it.

Jeff Jarrett called over Eric Young. He said this is his time for a 2nd chance and that even though Young had humiliated Jarrett, this was his chance for redemption. He then ordered Young to go get the belt from Samoa Joe. Young refused. Jarrett gave him one last chance. Young still refused. Jarrett said he'd deal with Young later and left. Jeremy Borash said that this was the first time that Young had told Jarrett "No". Young couldn't believe it and looked very worried.

JIm Cornette was in the ring with Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell. He said they've been training with Sting and he's in the best shape of his career. At Bound For Glory, Sting will challenge Jeff Jarrett: Title vs Career. Cornette said he's sure this will be the day that Jarrett loses the NWA World title because Kurt Angle has been appointed the special outside ring enforcer. Jarrett came down to ringside. He said that he wanted his title belt back and gave Cornette until the end of the hour to accomplish that. He reminded Cornette that they could do this the easy way or the hard way and since he doesn't see the belt, he guesses it will be the hard way. Cornette tells Jarrett that Samoa Joe said if Jarrett wanted the belt, to go get it. THAT'S the hard way. Jarret asked of Cornette was the boss or just an impotent authourity figure. Cornette responded by saying that when he saw Joe on Jarrett at the PPV, it looked like Jarrett was the one with some erectile dysfunction. Bagwell & Luger stepped up to get in Jarrett's face, but Jarrett cleared the ring of them. Then Samoa Joe came down to the ring and the 2 battled in the ring until the show ended.
