INT. ARENA – NIGHT

MATCH: The Pyro Twins vs. Los Guerreros

The Pyro Twins’ theme hits and Dusty Schneble and Jay Rowe make their way to the ring.

Cole: We have a tag title match right here and now, Tazz, and the Pyro Twins look ready.

Tazz: They’ve been waiting for this chance a long time, Cole. There’s nothing to stop them from walking out with the belts tonight except our champions.

Cole: What about their statement on Smackdown a few days ago? They said they want to win the belts so they can make an impact as they leave, just like Nykk is trying to do.

Tazz: Well, the Pyro Twins were never the sharpest knives in the drawer. Nykk’s brainwashed them into his delusional way of thinking, and I get the feeling his success with them will only fuel him until he convinces the rest of the PPV Squad.

Eddie Guerrero’s theme hits and he and Chavo Guerrero make their way to the ring.

Cole: Eddie and Chavo Guerrero, our Tag Team Champions, are on their way. Of course, Los Guerreros part of the legendary Guerrero wrestling family, and the fact that they are champions says all there is about their skills, but what do they have to do to beat the Pyro Twins?

Tazz: The Pyro Twins will come at you hard and come at you fast, but they are brawlers, while the Guerreros’ main strength is in wrestling. They need to wrestle the Pyro Twins, and also keep one separated from the other, because they can hit Final Darkness at any point in the match.
