Hello fans and welcome to the CSWA portion of the news. The first match that took place had the Super Warrior challenging Donnie B for his spot in the Cruiserweight contention. Donnie B tosses the SW out of the ring just as the bell sounds. Out of nowhere, here comes Mohammed Hassan. The SW is distracted by Hassan’s appearance and ends up getting counted out. Donnie B retains his spot. Hassan then hits the ring and attacks Donnie B. DB is joined in the ring by the SW and they both drive Hassan to the back. It appears that Hassan wants another shot at the Cruiserweight title and will stop at nothing to get it.
In the back, Regal talks with Donnie B. He wants to know if DB will accept the challenge from Hassan for his spot (Hassan had already expressed his interests to Regal). Donnie B says yes but on one condition. He wants a guest referee. Regal asks who and DB says Super Warrior. Regal says “I like the way you think. The match will happen later on tonight.” Donnie B thanks him and goes on his way.
The next match was the Great Khali challenging the Big Show for the #1 contenders spot for the TV title currently held by Bobby Lashley. Big Show started off the match with a big foot to Khali’s face but Khali came back with a relentles backbreaker. Big Show would not submit. Khali rammed Big Show into the ringpost but Big Show eye raked the giant one. Big Show then locked in the Cutting Edge and got a one count. A bodyslam from Khali and Show comes back by throwing him out of the ring. Khali is back in at the 7 count. Khali locks in the backbreaker again but Show won’t submit. Khali went for a piledriver but Show got out of it. Big Show stood on the neck of Khali and went for a pin and barely got a 1. Khali comes back with a smash into the ringmat. Show falls onto Khali causing the ref to count and Khali kicks out in the nick of time. Khali rams Show into the ringpost and this time I just think it made the Big Show mad cause he hit a huge clothesline out of nowhere and covered Khali for the 1-2-3. Big Show retains his spot.
Rey Mysterio is up next and he is supposed to be putting the US title on the line against JTG of Cryme Tyme. Since they won the Tag Team titles, they both opted not to go for the singles belts. This left two spots open. A mini battle royal tourney was held to see who would get those spots. The participants were Khali, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, Undertaker, Edge, Abyss, Chris Jericho, Batista, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, HHH and Mohammed Hassan. Abyss started off against Foley. Abyss is eliminated after Foley delivered a flying elbow and then threw him out of the ring. Jarrett was next against Jericho. Jarrett gave Jericho a ringrope face burn but Chris came back and tried to lock in the Walls of Jericho. Jarrett powered out and ended up throwing Chris out. Next is Khali vs CM Punk. Khali rams Punk into the ringpost but Punk comes back with an awesome dropkick. He followed it up with a turnbuckle smash and Khali goes over the top. Next is Mohammed Hassan taking on the returning Kurt Angle. Angle is gone after Hassan taunted the crowd and Angle couldn’t stand it. Next was HHH against the Undertaker. HHH hit Taker with a sledgehammer just as the bell rang. Undertaker battled back but went over the top after HHH hit him with a flyiing knee to his face. Hassan vs Jarrett was next. Hassan hits an eyegouge but Jarrett hits a ringrope face burn. Jarrett went for a guitar smash but an eye gouge from Hassan and Jarrett went over the top rope. Foley vs Batista didn’t go very long as Dave immediately threw Mick out of the ring. Hassan vs HHH was next and this was a short one too as HHH went flying over the top after being suplexed out of the ring. Punk is eliminated by Shawn who just tossed him right over the top rope. Former tag team partners Randy Orton and Edge went at it. Edge is eliminated after Randy hits the RKO and throws Edge over the top. Hassan was out next against Batista. He hit the STO on Batista and almost got the pin. Dave got up and threw him out of the ring. There are 3 men left…Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels and Batista. Randy cowers outside the ring so Dave and Shawn go at it. Shawn Michaels eliminates Batista leaving Randy Orton as the last man. Both of these men get title shots. The winner of the match will receive the first shot. Shawn and Randy battle back and forth but Shawn always had the upper hand. The end came when Shawn threw Randy out of the ring. Randy refused to get back in the ring and got counted out. Shawn will get the next shot at Rey Mysterio.
Out next came Booker T who was told he had to defend his title tonight against Samoa Joe. Joe came out with Taz. The bell sounds and Joe starts off hot. He slaps Booker in a camel clutch but Booker is able to get out. Booker hits a forearm drop and Joe hits a big boot. Another forearm drop from the champ is met with the Rear Naked Choke. Booker makes it to the ropes. Joe locks in the RNC again and turns it into a pin. Booker kicks out at 2. Booker gits a spinning smash and Taz gets involved by choking Booker on the bottom rope. Joe pulls him off and goes for the pin but gets a 1 count. Out of nowhere, Booker hits the bookend and gets the 1-2-3. Booker hightailes it out of the ring as Joe and Taz complain to the ref.
Joe doesn’t leave the ring. He demands a rematch. Regal comes out and says he lost so deal with it and work your way back up. Joe says he doesn’t have time to waste so he challenges Abyss for his spot. Abyss doesn’t back down from a challenge so he accepts. It was a very hard fought match. Everytime Joe would take the lead, Abyss would battle back. It wasn’t until Taz got involved and itimidated the ref that control of the match went back to Joe. Joe tried but just couldn’t keep Abyss down. After Abyss missed a top rope guillotine, a powerful clothesline from Joe was enough (with the ref fast counting) to put Abyss down and win the match. Samoa Joe then called out Booker T and told him he was the top contender. Booker said he already wrestled today and this match wasn’t going to happen. Joe was told by William Regal that the match will now happen at the PPV.
The final match of the night is Donnie B vs Mohammed Hassan with the Super Warrior as the special guest referee. Donnie B started off with an eye rake on Hassan and Hassan came back with a stomp to DB’s gut. Donnie B then hit the Lights Out Brainbuster but Hassan kicked out at two. Hassan came back with the STO and got a two. Donnie B hits two consecutive superplexes and after the second one, goes for the pin but gets a two count. Hassan gets tossed out of the ring but makes it back in by 7. Donnie B hits Hassan with a chair but only gets a two count. Hassan hits the STO but DB hits Hassan with a chair…again. Donnie B hits another superplex and is a fraction of a second away from 3. The clock is counting down as we hit the final minute of the match. Hassan is unable to mount any offensive. Donnie B hits connects with an eye rake and rolls up the challenger for the 1-2-3. Donnie B retains his spot for the Cruiserweight Championship.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more.
