The opening credits roll and Todd Grisham and Jonathan Coachman are on hand to welcome us aboard. They hype RAW and Smackdown's upcoming return to England as René Duprée's music hits.

René Duprée vs. Tajiri

The two lock up to start, with Duprée forcing Tajiri back into the corner. He breaks the hold and lightly pats Tajiri's face before posing in front of him. A "USA" chant starts up - even though neither man is American - as they lock up again. This time Tajiri works a quick go-behind followed by a reverse double leg takedown. He then walks up Duprée's back, taps his face and performs his own version of the French Tickler. Duprée gets angry and shoves Tajiri, who slaps him back. Duprée unloads with a boot to the gut and a series of hard forearms to the back of the head and stomps. He then grinds Tajiri's face into the mat before lifting him up for a hard chop in the corner and a boot choke. He then delivers a snapmare followed by a running soccer kick and a Million Dollar Fistdrop for 2. He then floors Tajiri with a hard chop and hits a kneedrop off the ropes for another 2 before cinching in a reverse chinlock on the mat.

Tajiri eventually fights up and elbows his way free, only for Duprée to send him into the corner with a right hand. He charges but Tajiri gets both feet up and then locks in the Tarantula when Duprée tries it again. With Duprée on his knees, Tajiri comes off the ropes with a front dropkick to the face for 2. He then chops Duprée, who reverses a whip attempt and allows Tajiri to come back with a reverse handspring elbow for 2. Tajiri hits a couple more chops and goes for another whip but Duprée reverses it again, only to then miss a clothesline. Tajiri levels him with a hook kick for 1.2.no! Tajiri gets ready for the Buzzsaw Kick but Duprée ducks it and then crushes Tajiri with a big spinebuster. Duprée performs the French Tickler as Tajiri gets to his feet and then hits a big Cobra Clutch Driver for the 1-2-3.

Winner: René Duprée

Earlier in the day, Todd Grisham got the chance to speak with Tyson Tomko. Tomko blames The Heart Throbs for being pinned by Viscera in last week's Six-Man Tag Team Match and will deal with them later. Viscera thinks he's a freak? He'll show Viscera what a real freak is when he puts his boot through his face and knocks him out of his pyjamas. He's not the Problem Solver tonight - he's the problem.

Tomko comes off the ropes with a diving shoulderblock and unloads with more rights on the mat. Viscera tries to fight back with another slap to the chest but Tomko cuts him off with a Ghetto Blaster DDT for 2 followed by a reverse chinlock. Viscera eventually fights up, lifts Tomko onto his back and scores with a huge Samoan Drop. He then shakes his money maker and goes for a big splash, but Tomko quickly rolls out of the ring. Viscera approaches him but Tomko hits a guillotine across the top rope. Viscera ducks an attempted big boot and goes for the Embalmer, only for Tomko to escape the move with some more rights.

Rob Conway vs. Val Venis

Venis takes his towel off and gives it to one of the stagehands at ringside before kissing her on the cheek. He gets onto the ring apron but Conway charges and pushes him to the floor.

The Heart Throbs harass Stacy before the bell, which gets the champs fired up. Rosey and Romeo lock up to start, with Rosey turning a wristlock into an arm twist. Romeo hits a right hand but Rosey replies with one of his own followed by a whip. Romeo ducks a clothesline and then holds on to the ropes when Rosey attempts a big boot, dancing to show off. Rosey clotheslines him out of frustration and whips Romeo off the ropes, only to get a kick in the shoulder when he lowers his head too early. Antonio tags in but receives a hiptoss before Hurricane tags in. Rosey stuns Antonio with a headbutt and then places Hurricane's legs on his head for an assisted headscissor takedown. Hurricane whips Antonio off the ropes and decks him with a jumping leg lariat for 2 followed by a front facelock.

Antonio eventually breaks the hold with a series of shoulder charges in the corner followed by an Irish Whip. Hurricane gets his elbow up on the corner charge and steps onto the apron, where he decks Romeo with a right hand. Antonio catches him with a Hangman across the rope though and Romeo charges Hurricane back-first into the ring apron. He rolls him in where Antonio hits a backbreaker for 2 followed by a shot to Romeo's boot in the corner. He then tags in and hits a series of lefts to the back before tagging back out to Antonio. The Heart Throbs shove Hurricane back-first into the corner and then dance at Rosey to draw the big man in. With the referee distracted, they deliver a double suplex for 2. Antonio tags back in and stomps on Hurricane while Romeo holds him down. Antonio then slaps on a front facelock and hits a right to the gut. Hurricane tries to fight out with a right to the gut but Antonio hits another right to the back.

As the ref tries to remove Rosey, the Heart Throbs whip Hurricane off the ropes but miss a double clothesline. They go for a double hiptoss on the rebound but Hurricane turns it into a double facebuster. He then crawls to his corner but Antonio is onto him. Hurricane kicks him away though and makes the hot tag to Rosey.

Rosey comes in with shoulderblocks and reverse elbows to both men and then drops Antonio with a body press drop off the ropes. He whips Romeo into them and scores with a back body-drop before going for one on Antonio, who instead goes for a sunset flip. Rosey sits on him though for 2, with Romeo breaking up the pin.

Stacy gets up on the ring apron and distracts the Heart Throbs by shaking her fine behind, allowing Hurricane to get back in the ring and launch Romeo over the top rope. They then whip Antonio off the ropes and score with the double team Eye of the Hurricane for the 1-2-3.
