*Video plays to hype the new era of wrestling, also making mention of Onslaught, the upcoming Pay-Per-View.

*Vince McMahon comes down to the ring*

Vince: As I said on Raw this past Monday, I would be addressing the actions of TNA's superstars. I took these past 3 days to come up with a fair consequence. Now, I want to start with the interference in the Funaki/Eugene match by the man they call "The Alpha Male", Monty Brown. I've decided that if he wants to get involved in Loser Leaves Town matches, I should grant him that wish. So tonight, in that very ring... it will be The Alpha Male Monty Brown vs. Funaki and & Eugene! To whichever side loses... [glow=green,2,300]YOU'RE FIRED!![/glow] And now on to what to do about certains actions such as Abyss sabotaging the first match of a new era in Rey Mysterio vs. AJ Styles... The Naturals disposing of a pair of very likeable fellows, nearly breaking the spinal column of Hurricane... and Team Canada mouthing-off to a federation who WASN'T bought out. My decision is quite simple... I'm going to let it slide. Hell, those were the highest rated segments of the show! It made great TV. So for that reason and that reason only, I am signing Rey Mysterio & The Superheroes vs. Abyss & The Naturals for our first WWF:TNA PPV... Onslaught!
Speaking of our first PPV, I have some other matches I've thought up as well. Tonight will begin the 3-match series between Team 3D and America's Most Wanted. The team who walks away with most wins next week will take on whichever team wins the 3-way on the next Monday Night Raw.
Also... on Raw a video played hyping our Raw main event next week. The winner of that match will take on the winner of tonight's main event at Onslaught for the World Championship!
One last bit before I go. Next Monday on WWF Raw... I will be addressing the Hardcore and Women's titles situation. Don't miss it, this will be big. Now I must go to the back and talk to a few people, get to know the environment a little more. Thank you for your time, hah.

*Matt Bentley is in the ring*

Bentley: Alright, not everyone knows who I am, but I'm a good number does. For those who don't, I'm taking time out of my busy schedule to come to this ring and create and impact so-to-speak. You're welcome. But how does one go about showing his superiority to his fellow superstars? Well it's quite easy. I am challenging ANY man in the back to come down to this ring and go face-to-face with me. Regardless of age, ethnicity, strength, speed, height, weight, popularity, piercings, lifestyle, siblings... somebody get out here so you can grovel at my feet.

*Pause*
