A video package recapping the recent events opened the show. It focused mainly on the events surrounding the departure of Stephanie McMahon from Three Rope Wrestling. This of course recapped all of the events surrounding the return of Mr. McMahon and his announcement of Mankind's fate as General Manger of Three Rope Wrestling. The final picture in the sequence was Mr. McMahon standing with The 3RW World Champion Steve Austin, 3RW European Champion Triple H, and The Monster Kane! The normal entrance video sequence followed the video and the show came on the air to a ruckus crowd inside the 3RW arena! The Pyrotechnic display was amazing display of colors and sparkle. Once it was finished Jim Ross and The King opened the broadcast by introducing one another and then Jim Ross began discussing tonight's Main Event.
Jim Ross-Hello again I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler! Are you ready for some Three Rope Wrestling? Are you ready for tonight's Main Event King?!

The Parking Area

Mr. McMahon was trying to intervene with a foreign object but John Cena caught him with a right hand after sending Steve Austin into the hood of of a nearby car! John Cena then grabbed Mr. McMahon up on his shoulders and was about to F.U. him on to the concrete floor but Triple H manged to stop him with a forearm to the upper back knocking Mr. McMahon out his arms. Mr. McMahon cowered away with Triple H and Steve Austin leaving Kevin Nash laid out and John Cena standing and begging for them to come back. Before the camera could turn to see their reactions A SLIVER CAR CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND RAN DOWN JOHN CENA! John Cena rolled over on the hood and collapsed on the concrete! The car sped off in a hurry as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler were left to explain to the viewers at home what just happened!

Christian Cage took the ring announcers microphone and began his annoying rant about his surroundings while he awaited the arrival of his opponent.
Christian Cage: I know you have all been wondering where I have been lately! I noticed just today on the peepsters tweeter all my peeps have been asking "when are you coming back?" "Where Oh Where has Christian Gone?" Well to answer your question..here I am! While I did not plan on having a match on my first episode back. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to humiliate my opponent Randy Orton before our Three way European Tournament match! Because not only am I going to humiliate him right here tonight! I'm going to humiliate him and that other nobody William Regal at 4 All Mankind and move on to face the champion! Once I win back my European Championship We will have an instant classic celebration unlike any other for all my peeps in the streets! Isn't that right Mr. Hughes? (Hughes nodded in agreement)
Match # 1 Randy Orton Vs. Christian Cage with Curtis Hughes.

This allowed Christian time to catch Randy Orton with a poke to the eye and allow him to get out of Randy Orton's reach yet again. Christian climbed up on the ring apron and dove off into a cross body taking down Randy at ringside. Christian climbed back to his feet and boasted about his impressive cross body. He climbed in the ring to break the count and began taunting the referee.

He clocked him and in the ribs and then tucked it back in his vest! Christian climbed out and brought him back into the ring and Christian began wearing down Randy Orton using every Offense move he could apply to Orton.

Jim Ross- Well before I was interrupted earlier by Christian Cage. I was trying to update you on the condition of John Cena. Unfortunately we don't have any new information to give you at this time. But John Cena has been taken a near by local medical facility and we will update you when we have more information. I was told by management the police are backstage and have opened an investigation on this hit and run on John Cena.
The King- Well it wasn't me, it wasn't you, and it wasn't Mr. McMahon, Triple H, and Steve Austin! So who could do such a thing JR?! I think it was one those Wolf Pack members Kevin Nash has been talking about! One of them want John Cena's spot in the Main-event at 4 All Mankind!
Jim Ross-What that is ludicrous! I'm almost certain Kevin Nash's partners had nothing to do with this!

The General Manger is to be suspended until the management can open a investigation and see if the General Manger is fit to stay in the role and keep the position.

Honkey Tonk Man Appearance Media
HTM: I’m gonna take this time and speak my mind before this match! But before I do, I’d like to tell you something that has bothered me about you Cody Rhodes! See you come out here every night and you brag about the Rhodes heritage and the family's legacy. But honestly there is nothing to brag about! Dusty Rhodes was a joke without the punch line! He had no talent inside the ring! I know I had to carry him for six months making him look like he was the average person or as he was so famously known as "the common man" The only thing he had in common with the audience was how he smelled. He never had a great match, Hell he never even booked a great match! I've heard some say the only great achievement he had in his entire life was to have you and your brother. But then I look at you and him I think to myself that is suppose to be great? No I'm the definition of greatness for four hundred and thirty three days I held and defended the intercontinental championship! I sold out Memphis championship wrestling every night I was booked! Oh don't look at me like that Jerry, you are going to get whats coming to you in a minute! Before I get to that piece of ***** I'm going to tell all of you here tonight a little story about me and him!
You see all started back when I was coming up and was like you Cody! Young, dumb, didn't know the difference between a blonde rat and a brunette rat. (HTM microphone was cut off as Jerry Lawler made his way into the ring) Jerry took the microphone away and passed it off to the ring announcer. He tried to console Honkey Tonk Man but it just made him even more furious. He clocked Jerry Lawler with a closed right hand and began yelling "If I can't get a decent booking here, I'll just go to AWW" Security came out and removed Honkey Tonk Man from the ring and took him through the unruly fans escorting him out of the building.
Cody Rhodes stood in the ring as the medical staff removed Jerry Lawler from the ringside area. Dolph Ziggler made his entrance and climbed in the ring and began arguing with Cody Rhodes about who would start the match. "The American Males" Shelton Benjamin and Jack Swagger made their way to the ring with a great reaction! They climbed in the ring and allowed referee Wes Wilson checked both of them. Wes Wilson turned his attention to Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler. Dolph climbed out of the ring and told Cody Rhodes he could go first. Both of them refuse to let the referee check them for any objects and out of frustration with those two the referee just let it go and rang the bell. The referee brought Shelton Benjamin and Cody Rhodes to the center of the ring and explained the rules. Shelton Benjamin extended his hand to Cody But he slapped it away! This exchange led to a series of quick moves and reversals which Shelton Benjamin was able to capitalize on. The entire match would keep the same pace and was a great display of classic mat wrestling and wrestling tag team technique from the American males. However on the other side the dysfunctional team of Ziggler and Cody did not fare so well in the match. Cody and Ziggler refused to tag one another when it was needed. They both tried to out shine on another and refused to work together on any double team moves. Finally in the end after several hard tags which were nothing but open hand slaps to each other. Ziggler tags himself in and Swagger turned his momentum around and used it to plant him in the center of the ring with a Swagger bomb! Jack went for the cover and Cody just jumped off the apron and left Ziggler to take the fall! Winners: Jack Swagger and Shelton Benjamin

Mark Henry jumped to his feet and grabbed referee Wes Wilson by the shirt tossing him out of the ring! He climbed out of the ring and stripped the Spanish announce table!
