ECW l June 26th, 2007 l San Antonio, TX

Tazz and Michael Cole welcome us to ECW tonight, they hype how CM Punk faces Elijah Burke, and John Morrison to see who faces Chris Benoit at Great American Bash.

Chris Benoit makes his way to the ring, saying that 48 hours ago, he won the ECW Championship in a match with arguably the best of ECW's future, CM Punk. Benoit says he's honored to be back on this show after almost fifteen years. And back then, things were mixed. Some were good, like he and Dean Malenko winning ECW Tag Team Titles, winning the ECW Championship, some not so good like breaking Sabu's neck. But he promises to create good memories for the fans as the ECW Champion. New Breed comes out, without the leader, Elijah Burke who prepares for his Triple Threat #1 Contender's Match for the ECW Championship tonight. Cor Von says that Benoit had better turn his focus to the New Breed because tonight, Thorn is going to beat him so bad, he'll vacate the ECW Championship. Benoit says that since they are out here, why not let Thorn tap out right now. New Breed exits the ring, and Benoit and Thorn stare down, their battle next.

C-O-M-M-E-R-C-I-A-L-B-R-E-A-K

ECW Champion Chris Benoit def. Kevin Thorn w/New Breed @ 5:44
A solid start to ECW, Thorn getting more offense than most expected. Thorn had Benoit in the corner, hitting some hard knees and shots to the head, Benoit battles out with knife-edged chops and then he goes for the double underhook submission, Thorn body drops Benoit as he grimaces in pain. Kevin goes for the stalling suplex, the wait was costly, Benoit nails a hard German Suplex followed by two more. Benoit then hits a knee drop and a missile dropkick. Benoit calls for the Diving Headbutt but Thorn rolls out of the way. Thorn nails the Crucifix Powerbomb! Thorn gets a shocking two count. He yells at the referee while lifting Benoit to his feet, Benoit trips him up and locks in the Crossface, Thorn hangs on for like five seconds and finally taps out.

ECW Champion Chris Benoit celebrates his hard fought win, suddenly, New Breed jump Benoit, Dreamer makes his way down, Cor-Von being taken out by him, Striker low blowed Dreamer but turned around to a hard belly-to-belly from Benoit. Benoit and Dreamer taunt as we head to commercial.

Todd Grisham is here with CM Punk, asking him is he ashamed at coming close to winning the ECW Championship but losing. CM Punk says that he lost to who is surely to do down as a first ballot Hall of Famer, Chris Benoit.

A promotion video hypes WWE Great American Bash, which airs live on July 22nd, 2007.

C-O-M-M-E-R-C-I-A-L-B-R-E-A-K

Big Daddy V def. Nunzio @ 0:56
Nothing more than just a basic squash here, Big Daddy V hit the big Train Crash, two-handed chokeslam, and the Ghetto Drop to secure the win.

Nitro hits the springboard tornado DDT to Punk and Burke hits a suplex to Natalya onto Punk for the two count on Punk. Burke eventually went for the Outer Limitz Elbow Drop as he hit a double clothesline to Punk and Nitro. Punk kicks Burke in the gut in mid-air and nails a hard Go 2 Sleep for the three count. Elijah Burke has been eliminated Punk and Nitro stare at each other, Burke gets angry and attacks Punk as since he eliminated him, he hits an Elijah Express. Benoit chases him off.
