The pyro goes off around the stage, signaling the start of Xtreme.  The camera then rotates around the arena, giving shots of the fans.  One fan sign shows the final moments of last week's main event as Divas Champion Maryse pinned Xtreme GM King of the Dead.

Joey Styles: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Land of Xtreme.  I'm Joey Styles, alongside my broadcast partner and the chairman of TFC, McMahon 101, as we are live from the Mellon Arena in the steel city, Pittsburgh, PA, in front of a sold out crowd."

McMahon 101: "These hypocrites can't understand why OWC is the best brand in TFC, but at least I cancel out the horrible quality of many of Xtreme's matches."

Joey Styles: "Well, I've always seen Xtreme as the best brand in TFC, because no one else is as extreme as we get every week."

the DX theme hits as DX Warrior comes out to the ring

Lillian: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the acting General Manager of Xtreme for tonight, DX Warrior!"

the crowd goes crazy as King of the Dead isn't the GM for tonight

DX Warrior: "Man, it's great to be out here in front of all of you fans!  King of the Dead doesn't understand any more, but he still gives great shows at times.  Now, the reason why I'm the GM for tonight is because King of the Dead and Stephanie McMahon 101 are both at an important meeting about Xtreme and the future of the show.  Now, for something that not everyone knows: a while back, I was going to be the GM of Xtreme, but something stopped me from showing up for about three weeks, which prevented me from taking the spot.  Therefore, King of the Dead took it, and the show has been extremely extreme, no pun intended.  Now, I've been given the chance to give you my product of Xtreme if I had taken the show when I was set to.  Now, tonight's main event is going to be a prelude to Persecution, as the Hardyz defend the Xtreme Tag Team Championships against Chris Jericho & Christian in a TLC match.  Also, we will have Randy Orton taking on the Undisputed Xtreme World Champion, the Ultimate Warrior, in a last man standing match and Batista taking on Bret 'The Hitman' Hart in a submission match.  Also, we are going to find out who is the best of these three divas as the three members of the Beautiful People will be going at it in a triple threat match where if anyone refuses to compete, they will not be in the battle royal at Persecution for the Divas Championship, meaning if Maryse backs out, she will not be the Divas Champion anymore.  Now, get ready, because we are going to hit the ground running tonight."

Joey Styles: "WOW!  The Animal and the Hitman going one-on-one in a submission match, the Ultimate Warrior and the Viper going at it in a last man standing match, and a triple threat match between the Beautiful People!  I can't wait for our first match, 101!"

McMahon 101: "I have to admit, these are a few good matches, not as good as what we see on OWC each week, but he is doing a good job so far from what I'm seeing.  We'll be right back, hypocrites."

we return just outside of King of the Dead's office, temporarily DX Warrior's office, when Triple H walks up

DX Warrior: "Is there anything I can do for you, Hunter?"

Triple H: "Yeah, Michael.  Why am I going one-on-one with Big Show tonight?"

DX Warrior: "Well, that's a match that King of the Dead made, so there's not much I can do about removing it, but if we could talk in my office behind closed doors, I think I can set something up."

cuts back to Joey Styles & McMahon 101

Joey: "This feud between Triple H & Big Show might just come to an end tonight."

McMahon 101: "Well, it's cutting into time that we could find out what DX Warrior has planned."

Joey: "I'm sure he has his reasons as to why he wanted that to be discussed behind closed doors, but on to the action."

Lillian: "The following contest is a submission match.  Introducing first, from Charlotte, NC, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair!"

Flair comes out to a standing ovation from the crowd as he makes his way to the ring & gets a mic

Flair: "Alright, before I start this match, I just have to say that I don't appreciate some punk like Dolph Ziggler disrespecting the entire Xtreme locker room.  Ziggler, you've never been pinned, but after tonight, you still won't have been pinned, but you aren't going to walk out as the winner – WOOOOO!"

Lillian: "And his opponent, Dolph Ziggler!"

Ziggler comes out & takes Lillian's mic, but slaps Flair in the face before throwing the mic down

The match begins with Ziggler taunting Flair, then Flair chops Ziggler in the chest multiple times.  Flair then starts kicking Ziggler's legs & knees before Ziggler punches Flair in the face & turns his back on the Nature Boy.  While Ziggler taunts the crowd, Flair chop blocks Ziggler, then starts attacking Ziggler's legs again.  Flair hits stomps, knee drops, & other leg-damaging moves.  Ziggler tries to get away, but Flair grabs Ziggler by one leg & drags him to the middle of the ring before slapping on the Figure Four.

Joey: "The Figure Four is locked in!"

McMahon 101: "After all of the abuse that Flair put on Ziggler's legs, will Ziggler escape?"

After a minute in the hold & all of the abuse done to Ziggler's legs, Ziggler taps out.

Lillian: "Here is your winner, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair!"

Flair celebrates before Ziggler takes a steel chair to Flair.  Ziggler wraps Flair's leg in the chair & is about to stomp on it before Triple H runs out with a sledgehammer.  Ziggler gets out of the ring, leaving Triple H to check on Flair.

Joey: "Talk about timing on the part of Triple H.  If it wasn't for the Game, Ric Flair might not have been able to compete for a while."

McMahon 101: "Not that it matters, but Flair proved why he is the Nature Boy.  He came out, talked about what he was going to do, then he did it.  He earned this victory, not so much what Ziggler was going to do to him."

Joey: "Ziggler just has no respect for anyone.  I bet that's why he won't be getting a title shot in the very near future."

Xtreme returns with Bret Hart in the ring with a mic

Bret Hart: "Let me get this straight: a regular OWC guy is running Xtreme tonight?  OWC doesn't hold up to me at all, unless I was on the brand.  The top TFC brand is the one I am on, because that's reality, not an OWC reject like DX Warrior."

crowd: huge heat

Bret Hart: "I should be the Undisputed Xtreme World Champion, not The Ultimate Warrior.  I'm the best there is, the best there was, & the best..."

McMahon 101 removes his headset & grabs a mic

McMahon 101: "If you finish that sentence, you won't have any more work in TFC ever!  I guess you didn't hear me when I made that a CBM trademark, because you only care about yourself."

DX Warrior comes out

DX Warrior: "And with him running his mouth about reality & how I'm not reality, here's a piece of reality for ya, Bret: you one-on-one with Rob Van Dam in an XCW Rules match.  If you win, you get an Undisputed Xtreme World Championship match at a later time - after Persecution, of course - in a match of King of the Dead's choosing.  However, if you lose, then as long as the champion after Persecution remains champion & as long as you are on Xtreme after the draft, you won't get another shot at the title."

Bret Hart: "THAT'S NOT REALITY!"

DX Warrior: "Yes, it is, so we need a ref out here now, as well as RVD, because that match starts right now."

crowd: cheers

a ref comes out, heading to the ring, when RVD's music hits & he comes out

The match begins with Bret Hart arguing with the ref to call off the match.

Joey: "That's not going to do him any good against Rob Van Dam."

RVD hits Bret Hart with a roundhouse kick then goes to the top rope.  Bret Hart gets up, then RVD hits a diving side kick.  RVD then goes for Rolling Thunder & hits it.

Joey: "For an XCW Rules match, this has yet to get extreme."

McMahon 101: "Just wait.  Rob Van Dam will shut up Bret Hart with some of his trademarks."

RVD rolls out of the ring & gets a table.  He slides it into the ring & sets it up.  He then gets a ladder from under the ring & slides it in as well.  Bret Hart gets up, & RVD smashes him with the ladder repeatedly.  RVD then sets up the ladder close to the table, then drags Bret Hart over to the table.

McMahon 101: "What is RVD going to do now?"

RVD gets Bret Hart on the table, then RVD climbs the ladder & delivers a huge Five Star Frog Splash, sending Bret Hart through the table.

Joey: "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!  FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!!  FROM THE TOP OF A LADDER!!!!!!!!!"

RVD covers Bret Hart: one... two... three!

Lillian: "Here is your winner, Rob Van Dam!"

McMahon 101: "That's better.  Now we won't have to hear Bret Hart run his mouth for the rest of the night.  Most likely for a while."

Joey: "That was a brutal match, so I don't know how Rob Van Dam will be able to compete at Persecution."

McMahon 101: "The only damage Rob Van Dam took in this match was from the Five Star Frog Splash from the top of the ladder, but that might have injured him."

Joey: "True.  But ladies & gentlemen, still to come tonight is our huge tag team main event: The Hardyz defend the Xtreme Tag Team titles against the team of Chris Jericho & Christian in a TLC match."

McMahon 101: "And there's also the individual matches for Xtreme's main event at Persecution as Batista & The Ultimate Warrior are in action tonight."

Joey: "But up next is Triple H vs. Big Show."

Xtreme returns with Big Show walking down the corridor to the stage when Dolph Ziggler walks up to him.  Show just hits Ziggler in the jaw with his knockout punch, knocking Ziggler out.

Joey: "Well, that was uncalled for."

McMahon 101: "If you say so, Styles."

Lillian: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall.  Introducing first, standing 7' tall, weighing 441 lbs., the Big Show!"

Big Show just heads to the ring

Lillian: "And his opponent..."

Lillian: "From Greenwich, CT, weighing in at 260 lbs., Triple H!"

Joey: "And now, Big Show finally gets a chance to get his hands on the Game, Triple H."

The match begins with Triple H hitting Big Show with a clothesline, but Big Show stays standing.  Triple H repeats this two more times, connecting both times, but Show stays standing.

Joey: "What is it going to take for Triple H to knock Big Show off his feet?"

Triple H goes for another clothesline, but Show grabs Triple H by the throat & lifts him for a chokeslam.  Triple H escapes & goes behind Big Show, then hits a chop block on both knees.

Joey: "And Big Show finally goes down."

McMahon 101: "When one thing doesn't work, either try it again or find another method, & Triple H did both."

Triple H then hits Show with a series of leg drops while Show's down.  The Game then delivers a Ric Flair-style knee drop on Show.  Show gets up & pushes Triple H against the ropes.  Triple H rebounds, & Show ducks for a back body drop.  Triple H counters with a facebuster.  Triple H then hits Show with a spinebuster & signals for the Pedigree.  Show gets up & shoves Triple H into a corner.  Show then starts pounding on Triple H in the corner with the ref telling Show to stop.  The ref begins his count: one... two... three... four... five.  The ref calls for the bell.

Lillian: "Ladies & gentlemen, your winner as a result of a disqualification, Triple H!"

Joey: "Serves him right.  This isn't an Xtreme Rulez match or an XCW Rules match or any no-DQ match, but Big Show just didn't care."

McMahon 101: "I normally don't agree with you, Joey, but in this case, I do.  Big Show broke the rules & got himself disqualified.  Maybe next time he won't lose his cool."

Xtreme returns with Big Show storming into DX Warrior's office while sounds of a brawl are heard outside when the door opens.

Big Show: "You better tell that ref that I didn't do anything to get myself DQed!  He was working for Triple H!"

DX Warrior: "You see, Big Show, he wasn't.  I saw what everyone else, including said ref, saw: you attacking Triple H in the corner, which, since you didn't break during the ref's five count, is means for a DQ.  Now, I prepared for this earlier.  I talked to Triple H, & we agreed that if you complained about what happened tonight, then at Persecution, it would be you & Triple H one-on-one once again, only this time in a first blood match."

Big Show: "That's not fair!  I had Triple H beat tonight!"

DX Warrior: "Well, guess what: you broke the rules & were DQed, & life's not fair, so build a bridge & get over it!  Now, get out of my office before I make that match for tonight, you giant whiner!"

Joey: "Oh my god.  DX Warrior laying down the law.  A first blood match at Persecution.  This is getting interesting between Big Show & Triple H."

McMahon 101: "Well, with what happened to Bret Hart earlier tonight, & since we were supposed to have Batista vs. Bret Hart in a submission match right now, Batista wins via forfeit, as we just heard from DX Warrior's office.  So, instead, we are going straight to the last man standing match."

Lillian: "The following contest is a last man standing match!  The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent so he is unable to answer the referee's ten-count."

Joey: "Where's the ref?"

[i]the titantron cuts to the backstage area where Randy Orton & The Ultimate Warrior are brawling with a ref nearby[/i]

McMahon 101: "HA!  That's the beauty of a last man standing match: It can start anywhere & it can end anywhere."

Joey: "I'm getting word from officials that this brawl has been going on throughout the commercial break."

Ultimate Warrior takes control, then sets Orton up for the Military Press, when Batista comes out of nowhere & hits Warrior with a spear.

Joey: "Where did Batista come from?!"

Before then ref can start his count, Batista lifts Randy Orton up & hits a Batista Bomb.  The ref then starts the count: one... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten!

Lillian: "Due to both participants being incapacitated, this match is a draw!"

Joey: "Wow, we didn't even get to see the whole thing, & there wasn't a winner!"

McMahon 101: "I say that since the Ultimate Warrior was about to deliver a Military Press to Randy Orton, he is the unofficial winner of this match."

Joey: "Well, whatever.  With Persecution just around the corner, we need to go over Xtreme's matches for the show."

McMahon 101: "Just announced when we came back from the last break, we have Triple H taking on Big Show in a first blood match.  Triple H has been attacking Big Show unexpectedly for the past few weeks with the Pedigree.  While we didn't get to see that happen tonight, Triple H will have another chance at Persecution."

Joey: "Then we've got the divas battle royal.  Maryse defends the Divas Championship against all of the divas on Xtreme, unless she backs out of the triple threat match coming up after the next break."

McMahon 101: "Then there's Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy in an XCW Rules match for both the Intercontinental Championship & the XCW Championship.  RVD injured his ribs earlier tonight against Bret Hart, but it's not as serious as it appears."

Joey: "RVD is a true competitor by not backing out of this match.  Then again, he was a part of Extreme Championship Wrestling back in the beginning, so we know how extreme the Whole Dam Show can get."

McMahon 101: "And finally, there's Batista challenging the Ultimate Warrior for the Undisputed Xtreme World Championship inside of a steel cage.  We already saw Batista lay out both Ultimate Warrior & Randy Orton, & now we'll get to see them go at it in an official match."

Joey: "Wait, I'm getting word from the back.  We need to cut backstage."

cuts to the back with Michelle McCool standing over Maryse, Angelina Love, & Velvet Sky, all three knocked out.

Joey: "Michelle McCool just ruined a match without it even starting.  Because of this, the triple threat match is off."

McMahon 101: "Hey, look on the bright side, Joey: all of the Xtreme divas will be in the battle royal at Persecution."

Xtreme returns with The Hardyz & Chris Jericho & Christian in the ring & the Xtreme Tag Team Championship belts hanging above the ring.  The ref calls for the bell.

The match begins with both Hardyz getting a ladder from under the ring.  Christian tries to hit a high risk move, but Matt hits Christian in midair with the ladder while Jeff enters the ring.  Jericho picks up the ladder & sets it up after smashing Jeff in the back.  Jericho then exits the ring & sets up two tables on the outside against the ring apron.  While Jericho's doing this, officials check on Christian while Matt gets a steel chair.  He enters the ring, sets the chair on the mat, then climbs the ladder.  Jericho sees Matt at the top of the ladder & climbs it.  Matt, who expected Jericho to climb the ladder, punches Jericho in the face several times before hitting a Twist of Fate from the top of the ladder & onto the chair.  Matt helps Jeff up, then both Hardyz climb the ladder.

Joey: "And it looks like the Hardyz are about to retain their titles!"

Just as the Hardyz get to the top of the ladder...

Joey: "What's RVD doing?"

RVD runs to the ring, but the Hardyz retrieve the titles.

Lillian: "Here are your winners, & still the Xtreme Tag Team Champions, Matt & Jeff, the Hardyz!"

RVD enters the ring & pushes the ladder over, causing the Hardyz to fall off & crash through the tables at ringside.

Joey: "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

McMahon 101: "This feud between Jeff Hardy & Rob Van Dam is getting personal.  That's all the time we have here tonight, hypocrites."
