Live . . . from Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MIchigan . . . this is . . .SHOOTING . . . STARS . . . WRESTLING !!!!The screen goes black and we hear the fans chanting ‘S-S-W! S-S-W!’
The opening montage starts us off as ‘INSIDE THE FIRE’ by Disturbed hits. The camera comes up on the crowd pumping their fists and chanting, and the strobe lights go off on the ramp. The camera scans the crowd, focusing in on several signs in the audience.
We get a Parade of Champions promo, showing still shots from the huge event at Ford Field right here in Detroit. They show the closing moments of the World title match, with Sheamus retaining . . . and the handshake between AJ Styles and CM Punk following their brutal ‘I quit’ Match.At ringside, Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan welcome everyone to the show and put over the Parade of Champions show. We have a new SSW Genesis Champion and Shane McMahon has a lot to answer for. Why did he cost John Morrison the SSW title and join the Fortunate Sons? Well, Shane is here tonight and he is running the show. He has already booked Nigel McGuiness vs. Bryan Danielson in a double or nothing main event! Danielson has put his TV title on the line, while Nigel has put up his half of the SSW tag team titles!!!!
‘BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOOOWN!’
Jericho says that at the Parade of Champions he went out and showed everyone that he is the best in the world at what he does. And yet he stands here tonight and he is NOT the UWF world heavyweight champion! And there is one reason for that . . . and the reason is Lance Storm! Jericho dominated that match and had SOS beat several times, only for Storm to cost him the title. Jericho was not pinned in the match, and therefore he should get an immediate one on one rematch!!!! But first, this issue between he and Storm has to come to an end!
The Canadian National Anthem hits and out comes Lance Storm! Storm asks if he can be serious for a minute and says that at least he and Jericho can agree on that. Here is the problem . . . Storm says that it is Jericho that should move aside, not him. Jericho has had his chances, and failed miserably. Jericho tells Storm that the UWF title belongs to him, and if Storm does not stay out of his way, he will hurt him. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU RIGHT NOW???? The last time they faced each other one on one, Jericho had Storm’s career in the palm of his hand and he let go . . . THIS TIME HE WILL NOT LET GO!!!! Storm says that there is only one way to settle this, and that is for him to prove once and for all that he is Canada’s best athlete. Jericho has tried and failed, but he is the one that holds not 1 but 2 victories over Sheamus! He is the one that will take the title and bring it home to Calgary . . . (dramatic pause) . . . Alberta, Canada!!!! Jericho challenges Storm to a match in 2 days at the Parade of Champions All Star Finale. Storm accepts and Jericho says that Storm has just wrote the final chapter on his career. What a waste!
Commercial Break‘THE IMPERIAL MARCH’ by John Williams hits and out comes Awesome Kong! Kong comes in the ring and even the camera man is afraid and backs up. Kong grabs the camera and gets real close, then screams out the name of Trish Stratus! After a few seconds, Trish’s music hits and the women’s champ comes out to the ring!!!! Trish says that she tweaked her ankle when she was beating Kong yet again at the Parade of Champions. She would love nothing more than to beat her again tonight, but she’s hurt and she can’t compete. Trish has found someone for Kong to fight though, and out comes Jazz!
Match 1: Women’s singles match

Awesome Bomb coming up, but Trish takes the title and bashes Kong in the knee for the DQ.
A 2 on 1 beatdown of Kong ensues until Beth Phoenix limps her way to the ring! She has a chair, and the heels scatter, with Trish pointing and threatening as Beth holds them at bay. However, Kong is up and turns her attention to Beth, laying her out with the Awesome Bomb! Kong stares down at Beth as Trish watches on from the ramp.
IN THE BACK: A limo pulls up and out steps Shane McMahon along with the Fortunate Sons all decked out in suits. It looks like they are still partying from the Parade of Champions show.

The American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards)
Vs.
The South Beach Boyz (Darren Young & Percy Watson)The South Beach Boyz show some potential, but the Wolves are just too much! They isolate Young, working him over for the majority of the match. Watson gets the hot tag and cleans house, but Richards and Edwards recover quickly and Watson is sent outside. Young tries to put up a fight against them, but the Wolves hit the ‘Thrill of the Hunt’ (power bomb + backstabber combo) and then Eddie slaps on the Achilles Lock! Young taps out!
After the match, the Wolves don’t leave the ring. Richards says they got a measure of revenge against Edge and Storm at the Parade of Champions, but they are not done. They are still hungry, and they want the World tag titles. Richards tells the Blonde Bombers to watch their backs . . . BECAUSE THE HUNT . . . IS . . .
They are interrupted as the Embassy’s music hits and out comes Prince Nana along with the Uso’s. Nana says that just because Nana took them to Ghana and spoiled them with the riches of his kingdom, it seems like the Wolves have forgotten about them. Richards says it is because they don’t matter, but if they want their attention they can come in the ring and get it! The Uso’s take the bait and hit the ring, resulting in a huge brawl! It goes on for a few moments until security tries to break it up, but they are still trying to separate all 4 men as we go to break.

He talks about the match at Parade of Champions, and says that there was a lot of changes that happened during the match. The way he felt about all the people, and the way the people felt about him.
‘REALIST KILLAZ’ by 2 Pac hits and out comes PROJECT 187!!!! Taz asks if AJ is going to cry them a river in the ring.

Pope lands on his feet and goes for the suicide dive but Daniels cuts him off with a palm strike.
