The opening video plays with the "Home Invasion" theme song: 3030/150 by Stone Sour. After the video, we are welcomed to tonight's broadcast by the announce team who run down the big matches of the night. While they speak, Steven Richards music plays as he comes down to the ring for the opening bout.

As Corino celebrates in the ring, the camera cuts back to Road Warrior Animal's office where Roderick Strong & Ken Kennedy are pleading their cases as to why the should get a tile shot.
A: Alright! That's enough! I guess you 2 didn't hear me too well last week when I said I'm tired of all the talking that has been going on here. It's time for action. Time to put up or shut up. So tonight, since both of you think you deserve a shot at the title so bad, it's gonna be Mr. Kennedy against Roderick Strong, and the winner will be in line for a shot at the 3CW Title in the near future. Now I suggest you both get out of here before I change my mind.
Kennedy & Strong look at eachother & then leave as we head to break.

[Veronica Caine interfered against Brent Albright.]

As officials tend to Cade, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson comes to the ring & grabs the ring announcer's microphone.
BD: After seeing our new "enforcer" last week & hearing what he had to say, I've decided that he's right. The time for talking has come to an end. So I'm calling out anyone that thinks they can beat me in this ring right now. And there's no way I'm leaving until I get what I want!
Danielson didn't have to wait long as "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage plays & the former 3CW Television Champion: CM Punk comes to the ring wearing the same outfit he had on in the video package last week when he appeared as Raven's "reflection".

CM Punk pinned Bryan Danielson after a uranage in 0:13:06.

After the match:
Raven & Lita come to the ring. Raven hands Lita the 3CW TV Title belt & gets in the ring. He then gets up in Punk's face & stares the former champion down. Raven strikes his trademark pose & suddenly, Punk grabs Raven & hits another uranage, flooring the TV Champ. Punk springs back to his feet & Raven rolls from the ring to the safety of Lita's arms. Lita & Raven then make a hurried retreat back up the runway to the backstage area as we head to break.

We come back from break with a video package highlighting last week's match between The Stampede Bulldogs & Team Canada's Bobby Roode & Andrew "Test" Martin.

The 2 continue to fight all the way to the back as Samoa Joe walks to the ring with a purpose.
SJ: Christian! Last week, you just barely squeaked by me & the beating that I promised myself I would give you. Now if you're any kind of a man, you'll get out here & take your punishment.
Chistian Cage's music plays as the man that refers to himself as an "Instant Classic" steps out onto the runway.
CC: Joe, I don't know if you've heard, but, I'm moving on to bigger & better things. I'm tired of beating you. It's time for this "Instant Classic" to take his rightful place on top of this industry. So Joe, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that...
SJ: That's right, you ARE afraid. You're afraid of the beating I've got in store for you. And if you don't come to the ring for it, I'll just bring it to you.
Joe starts to get out of the ring, and Cage starts to take off backstage, but, just as he turns around, Road Warrior Animal is standing in his way. Animal backs Cage down the runway into the waiting clutches of Samoa Joe & our next match is underway.

Back from break with a short recap of the Edge/Forsaken feud.

Rating: *** 1/2
[Lita interfered against Edge.]

After the match:
The entire Forsaken get in the ring & attack Edge, until The Hurricane, Christopher Daniels & CM Punk come out to make the save. A 5 on 4 brawl ensues witch takes all the agents & officials to break it up as we go to our last break.

Back from the break, the announce team hypes up the 6 man tag team main event over a short video of highlights from last week between all the participants.

Val Venis, AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio defeated The Enterprise (Frankie Kazarian and Maven) and Kurt Angle when Mysterio pinned Kazarian with the West Coast Pop in 0:19:59.
Rating: *** 1/4

As Mysterio's team celebrates in the ring, the camera cuts away & a hype video plays in place of the usual promo montage. The video is for the War Games match that will take place in 3 weeks between The Forsaken taking on the team of Edge, Christopher Daniels, The Hurricane and now CM Punk. A voice over runs down the stipulations for losing this matchup:
If Raven loses he will lose the 3CW television Title.
If D'Lo Brown loses Edge gets 5 minutes alone in the cage with Lita.
If Air Paris loses he must shave his head.
If Elix Skipper loses The Forsaken must disband.
If Sonny Siaki loses.... all stipulations on his team will be enforced.
If Edge loses he must leave 3CW.
If Christopher Daniels loses he must join The Forsaken.
If The Hurricane loses he must forever give up his Superhero gimmick.
If CM Punk loses he must shave his head.
The announcer notes that Edge's team is one man short and so far no effort has been made to even the odds. Then the camera cuts to Raven who is alone somewhere in the bowels of the arena near a piece of the cage.
R: We all need... a haven. A sanctuary. A place to hide. A place to escape. A place to dream and hope. A place... where the darkness won't be so frightening. So it is written. So it shall come to pass. But for some, the darkness is a relentless enemy. It cannot be eluded. And once the darkness senses your fear; once it senses your pain, it is never far behind. Men have bled for years inside structures as the one in which we will meet in 3 weeks. I can empathize with these men. I can understand their futility. I can forgive their hopelessness. I feel their pain. It will be just 3 short weeks until we collide inside this unforgiving edifice of horror. Inside this diabolical cauldron of suffering our 2 sides will mercilessly beat on eachother until one man can no longer continue. Edge, Punk, Hurricane, and Daniels, once inside you will hear the voice of your own terrors and see only the spectacle of truculence & pain. Concider this your final warning: because before you can find another to take up your so-called cause for the greater good, The Forsaken shall grow even stronger and the darkest of souls will help make my destiny complete. Quote the Raven: "Nevermore". The camera fades as it gets a close up of Raven through the cage.

Card rating: *** 1/2

I liked the 'Stipulations for each potential loser of the War Games match.' Great idea.
JustinPosted on 07/23/07 at 01:59:58

I got the idea from the old ECW "Ultimate Jeopardy" matches.
