Here is the preview for ECW on Sci Fi tonight from ECW.com:

For the first time since One Night Stand on June 11, the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City will get extreme when ECW on Sci Fi is live from the venue Tuesday night.

In the main event, ECW World Champion Big Show will defend his gold against SmackDown's Animal, Batista. Since winning the ECW World Title on July 4, Big Show has turned back every challenger sent his way...but after two losses to Mr. Kennedy last week, Batista's six months of pent-up aggression has only gotten worse. Who will walk out of NYC with the gold?

In another matter involving the ECW World Title, Last week, Paul Heyman denied Sabu's request for an ECW World Title match and ordered him to leave. Instead, Sabu came to the ring after Big Show's victory over Kane to bash the ECW Champion over the head with a chair. Will Paul Heyman have anything to say about the Death-Defying Maniac's actions?

Also, last week, Mike Knox & Test brutally attacked Sandman, but were then later attacked by Tommy Dreamer. Tuesday night, it will be Sandman & Dreamer vs. Knox & Test in an Extreme Rules Match. Will the ECW veterans prove their extreme pedigree on Sci Fi, or will it be the newcomers who walk out victorious?

The Wrestling Machine will also be in the house this Tuesday night. Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle will be in action, although his opponent is still unknown. Last time Angle stepped foot in Hammerstein Ballroom, he was victorious over RAW's Randy Orton at ECW One Night Stand. Who will step up to challenge the Wrestling Machine this time?

Also, CM Punk will finally make his ECW on Sci Fi debut. Will the straight-edge Extremist walk out of NYC with his first victory?

Find out all this and more Tuesday night at 10/9 CT on Sci Fi.
