INT. ARENA ? NIGHT
MATCH: The Pyro Twins and Dawn Marie vs. Huh, Cheesecake and Shadow
The PPV Squad theme hits and Huh, Cheesecake and Shadow make their way to the ring.
Cole: We?re a mere three days away from WrestleMania XIX, and we have a little preview of the WWE Tag Team Title Match right here with this mixed tag match!
Tazz: But the match on Sunday will be a Barbed Wire Match, much, much more dangerous. I hope that Huh and Cheesecake are ready.
Cole: We have to take into consideration that Shadow had her jaw unwired only a short while ago. This will be her first match since that brutal incident she had with Nykk, and we?ll see if there?s any ring rust.
The Pyro Twins? theme hits and they make their way to the ring, with Dawn Marie following close behind.
Cole: I think that the evil Pyro Twins just don?t care anymore, and that?s why they chose a Barbed Wire Match. Everyone thought they would go with an Inferno Match, considering their obsession with fire, but they picked a match even more dangerous.
Tazz: The match won?t win any awards for the technical aspect, Cole, but it should excite the fans with its sheer brutality.
FINISH: Shadow hits Dawn Marie with the Interceptor and covers, but Dusty pulls her off. She tags Huh, who throws Dusty into the ring and hammers away. He hits a powerbomb, but Dusty kicks out of the cover. Huh tags Cheesecake and they hit a double looper. Cheesecake covers, but Jay comes in to break it up, and everyone else comes in and brawls. Dawn Marie works over Shadow on the outside, and Huh clotheslines Jay and himself over the top rope. Dusty rams Cheesecake?s head into the top turnbuckle and gives him some shoulder thrusts. He whips him into the opposite corner and goes for a back body drop, but Cheesecake catches him and executes the Long Kiss Goodnight. He covers and gets the three count.
Winners: Huh, Cheesecake and Shadow at 4:43
Cole: Huh and Cheesecake score an important psychological victory heading into WrestleMania.
Tazz: I?ve been saying all along that Huh and Cheesecake have what it takes. Don?t underestimate them.
Dusty suddenly goes under the ring and comes out with two rolls of barbed wire. He hands one to Jay and they get in the ring.
Cole: Oh, no. Jay and Dusty have barbed wire!
Tazz: Huh, Cheesecake and Shadow better turn around!
Jay whips Cheesecake across the back with the barbed wire and Dusty does the same to Huh. Dusty stalks toward Shadow and she slides out of the ring. However, when Jay goes to choke Cheesecake with the barbed wire, he escapes and hits Jay with right hands. He takes the barbed wire and starts whipping Jay with it. Jay dives through the ropes, and Cheesecake runs over to help Huh. He whips Dusty with the wire and then helps Huh to his feet.
Cole: Thank goodness Huh and Cheesecake were able to retake control of the situation. However, this is only a taste of what?s to come on Sunday.
INT. ARENA ? NIGHT
MATCH: Nykk and Matt Hardy vs. Croooooow and Rey Mysterio
Matt Hardy?s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring, along with Shannon Moore. This week?s Matt Facts state that, ?This Sunday will be Matt?s first WrestleMania win,? and, ?Matt always gets a tan for WrestleMania Sunday.?
Cole: Matt Hardy will be marching into battle with Rey Mysterio come Sunday, but he?s getting set for some tag action right here tonight.
Tazz: Matt?s bragging that this Sunday will be his first WrestleMania victory, but that means he?s lost every WrestleMania match he?s been in. This is also the first year he won?t be teaming with his brother.
Nykk?s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring.
Cole: Me and you both, Tazz, are hoping that Nykk does not walk out of WrestleMania with the Cruiserweight Title.
Tazz: Nykk stated that if he loses to Croooooow, he?ll make good on his promise and leave the wrestling industry. I?ve always felt sorry for a wrestler on the losing end of a career ending match, but I?m happy to say that I won?t miss Nykk.
Croooooow?s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring.
Cole: Nykk?s former friend and tag team partner Croooooow has wanted the Cruiserweight Title since the PPV Squad came to Smackdown back in November.
Tazz: I hope that Croooooow breaks many things on Nykk?s body this Sunday.
Rey Mysterio?s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring.
Cole: There?s a great amount of talent in this match. All participants, including Shannon Moore on the outside, are cruiserweights. Everyone has to be targeting Nykk?s title, in one way or another.
Tazz: I agree. Croooooow, Rey, Matt and Shannon would all make tremendous champions.
FINISH: Matt hits the Twist of Fate on Croooooow and then runs over to hit Mysterio. He covers Croooooow, but Rey hits him with a springboard legdrop from the outside to break it up. They crawl to their corners, and Nykk and Rey are tagged. Rey sends Nykk down with a dropkick and then hits a spinning heel kick. He gets on Nykk?s shoulders and takes him over with a � hurricanrana. He covers, but Nykk kicks out. Mysterio tries his body scissors into a bulldog, but Nykk throws him off and tags Matt. Matt charges, but Mysterio gives him a drop toehold right across the second rope. He hits the 619, and Croooooow runs over and gives Nykk a right hand off the apron to make sure he won?t interfere. Nykk grabs Croooooow?s foot and drags him out under the bottom rope. Rey goes for the West Coast Pop, but Matt counters into a powerbomb. Shannon grabs Rey?s hands from the outside to hold his shoulders down and Matt gets the three count.
Winners: Matt Hardy and Nykk at 10:11
Cole: Hardy sneaks in a cheap pin on Rey, and that?s another thing to consider. Shannon Moore could give Matt Hardy a significant advantage over Rey at WrestleMania.
Tazz: Nykk and Croooooow both look ready too. They cannot wait to tear into each other.

PPV Squad Video Package
Narrator: They were the PPV Squad. The most tightly knit group perhaps ever in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment. All from the same hometown, the PPV Squad made it to WWE and took everyone by surprise. Their willingness to go to any and all lengths to be successful and fun-loving nature eventually won over the fans, who embraced their in your face honesty, unpredictability and friendship. PPV Splinter Squads sprouted across the country, and Squad merchandise was moving. Not everyone liked them, but attempts to break them apart were met with hostility and failure. The PPV Squad had made it to the big time. However, somewhere along the way, the PPV Squad crumbled. Honesty turned into power plays, unpredictability led to infighting and friendships dissolved. Now the once fun-loving faction has turned into an all out war of attrition, a war that will come to a head right here tonight at WrestleMania. In the case of the eccentric duo of Huh and Cheesecake against the Pyro Twins for the WWE Tag Team Titles, it?s about the underdogs finally getting their big chance. However, in the case of Croooooow and Nykk, former tag team partners and best friends turned bitter enemies, it is about many things. The Cruiserweight Title, friendship, revenge, and just the innate curiosity to know who is the best.
Fight from WWE Anthology hits.
I? I know your every move
I?ve heard your every word
I know you well
And I?ve gotten nothing left to prove
Your threats are fine absurd
I am your hell
Every time you think that I?m done
I come back stronger (come back stronger)
Every time you think that you?ve got me
I will fight you
And I will put you in the ground
I will fight till there?s nothing left
Till my legs are gone
You won?t forget me
Cause I will fight till my final breath
Just to see you fall
I?ll make you fear me
Every time you think I?m done
I?ve come back stronger (come back stronger)
And every time you think that you?ve got me
I will fight you
And I will put you in the ground
Cause I will fight till there?s nothing left
Till my legs are gone
You won?t forget me
Every time you think I?m done
I?ve come back stronger (stronger)
And every time you think that you?ve got me
I will fight you
Every time you think that I?m done
I?ll come back stronger (stronger)
And every time you think that you?ve got me
I will fight you
