The Fight Club opening montage plays, to the tune of Sugarcult's "Lights Out." The camera pans the Fight Club Complex, jam-packed with fans for the final episode of Fight Club TV before our return to pay-per-view, Elimination Night. Joey Styles and Tazz welcome everyone to the show, as we go straight to the action!
Elimination Night Qualifying Match
"Fighting Irish" Fit Finlay vs. Paul London
London's speed proved to be quite a tactical advantage against the Belfast Brawler. Finlay's power outmatched London, but he had trouble getting ahold of the high flier. London seemed to have the edge during the whole match, hitting Finlay and then getting away as fast as possible and not allowing "Fighting Irish" to land any blows. London's high risk offense came to haunt him, as he had Fit set up for the London Calling shooting star press. Finlay moved out of the way, but London landed on his feet! London ran up the opposite turnbuckles and attempted a moonsault, but Finlay caught him in mid-move. He then turned around and planted London to the mat with a vicious running powerslam. Finlay hooked the leg and pinned London for the three count and the win. (8:12)
Coach interviews Elijah Burke about his debut backstage. Burke says that his original opponent backed out at the last minute, so they are sending in some no-name guy to face him. He may have this one locked up.

Elimination Night Qualifying Match
Elijah Burke vs. The Hurricane #3[
Taking after the spirit of RCW, The Hurricane #3 made his debut in Fight Club! He sported a Captain America-styled outfit and blue-dyed hair rather than green! Hurricane gave Burke one hell of a battle, and he realized very early that he had underestimated the blue-haired warrior. Burke quickly had to regroup and restrategize. Hurricane moved away from all of Burke's biggest offensive attacks, keeping himself fresh but not landing any strong blows himself either. Finally, Burke appeared to have the advantage. He had Hurricane locked up in the corner and ready to be hit with the Elijah Express, but just as he ran to hit him, Hurricane moved! Burke saw it, and peformed a handstand on the top turnbuckle. As Hurricane returned to the corner, Burke fell back and locked Hurricane in a head-scissors. He then roleld him up, grabbing the ropes, to defeat Hurricane #3 via pinfall! (7:56)
Backstage, C.M. Punk enters Candice Michelle's locker room. He asks her if she is ready for their match. She affirms that she is, and they pound fists. Matt Hardy walks in behind Punk, and pounds Punk's fist as well. He nods at Candice Michlle and says "let's go, team!"

We come back from commercial with some footage from the brutal assault by Jimmy Jacobs on Mr. Asai that was to be aired last week, but was removed due to graphic footage.
Jimmy Jacobs, Tomko, and Allison are already in the ring when we get back to the arena. Jacobs says that Allison is in no shape to compete, and this match being booked is a disgrace to Fight Club. He says, however, that they were able to speak with some Fight Club officials and found a decent replacement for her. -- "Gun for Hire" Brent Albright!
C.M Punk, Matt Hardy, and Candice made their way to ringside. Punk took the microphone from Michael Buffer. He says it is rather ironic that Jacobs would jsut now mention Allison's injury, which he did not bother to explain further. Punk says Candice has a legitimate reason to not compete, as she still suffers from back pain after the attack by Allison and Lacey two weeks ago on Fight Club TV, so Punk and Hardy took it upon themselves to find a replacement partner as well..."Classic" Colt Cabana!!!
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Tyson Tomko, Jimmy Jacobs, & "Gun For Hire" Brent Albright vs. C.M. Punk, Matt Hardy, & "Classic" Colt Cabana
The match started off just like any other six-man tag. Each team got in their share of blows while they showed off some of their signature blows. As Candice and Allison started to exchange fists on the outside, it did not take long for the match to boil over and all hell to break loose. As the match seemed to be winding down, Tomko appeared to have the edge. He went for the big boot on C.M. Punk, but Punk caught him mid-move and set him up for the Go 2 Sleep. Albright and Jacobs tried to enter the ring. Hardy held off Jacobs, but Albright entered the ring and nailed Punk with a clothesline. Albright then planted Punk to the mat with an Exploder Suplex. Cabana then snuck up behind him and hit him with the Colt .45. As Cabana pinned Albright, Matt Hardy hit Tomko with the Side Effect. Cabana picked up the pinfall over Albright for the victory for his team. (12:38)

Elimination Night Qualifying Match
"The Savior" Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio
Jericho and Rey battled it out in what had to be the most energy-filled match of the night thusfar. The crowd was loving both men, who each got in their signature shots against the other, but not being able to amoutn more than a 2-count. Jericho nailed Rey with the Code Breaker, the Flashback, and the Lionsault to no avail. Rey flew around the ring as he always does, but wasn't able to put Jericho away. Playing the underdog role, Rey took Jericho's best shot and gave it right back to him. It would be the "Savior" who pulled off the win though, as he caught Rey in the middle of a West Coast Pop, planting him to the mat with a powerbomb and then locking in the Lion Tamer. Struggle as he may, Rey wasn't able to get out of the hold and was forced to tap out for the submission victory. (14:32)

Main Event | Singles Match
Raven w/Lacey vs. Jeff Hardy
The crowd was a little down after watching an intense battle between two fan favorites, but Raven and Jeff Hardy quickly turned them back around by putting on a fantastic match. The crowd finally got into it when Jeff was on the apron and Lacey grabbed his ankle. Jeff then turned around and hit Lacey with a Lou Thesz press off the apron! Raven came to the outside and battled with Jeff, grabbing a steel chair from under the ring, but referee Joe Hansen pulled it out of his hands! Raven climbed into the ring and started arguing with the ref. This momentary distraction allowed Jeff to start climbing back into the ring, but Tommy Dreamer sneak from underneath the ring and powerbomb Jeff off the apron to the floor, quickly throwing him back into the ring. Raven went for the pin, but Jeff was able to kick out. As Dreamer tried to help Raven again, referee Hansen kicked him out of the ringside area! With the ref distracted again, Raven grabbed the chair, but Hardy kicked it back into his face. Jeff then climbed to the top rope and hit Raven with the Swanton Bomb! Jeff hooked the leg and pinned Raven as the referee turned around to count the three count for the win! (9:14)
Styles and Tazz, amazed by the fact that Jeff Hardy picked up a pinfall victory over the champ, thank everyone for watching. They get in last minute promotion for Elimination Night, which will be coming very soon! Hardy celebrates in the entranceway as the show fades to a close.
