Segment #1
Live! In the sold out TD Garden Sheamus stands in the middle of the ring with boos raining down on him. He is accompanied in the ring by Drew McIntyre at one side and Dolph Ziggler on the other. Sheamus has the mike and begins to talk.
Sheamus admits to the fans that he Dolph and Drew got a little heated at the end of last weeks show and anytime you’re dealing with one championship and three men you’re going to have problems. He than talks about how cooler heads have prevailed and that they has a revalation, something that they hadn’t thought of before. Though it is difficult to have three men vying for one championship, it is far easier to have three mean vying for three championships. Sheamus then goes on to talk about how Mick Foley stated that the winner of their triple threat match gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, however the losers of the match gets a shot against AJ Styles and Rob Van Dam (the losers of the previous triple threat match) for the World Tag Team Championship. Since none of us are losers, Sheamus goes on to say, we’re going to forgo our match tonight. Sheamus then reveals that he’ll be taking on Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship and Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre will take on AJ Styles and Rob Van Dam for the World Tag Team Championship. They all seem very proud of themselves when…
Foley comes out onto the stage to a chorus of boos. He tells Sheamus that he makes the decisions in TIW not Sheamus. He goes on to tell him that since the three of them have conspired to ruin his main event they are none of them getting a title shot at Back to Basics unless they earn it. Mick Foley then says that since Dolph and Drew don’t want a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship he’ll give it to someone who does. Foley announces the main event of the show will be Sheamus versus Samoa Joe for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Foley then says to announce what will be done with the TIW World Tag Team Championship picture is the newest member of the announce team, and a man the trio in the ring put out of action two weeks ago Kevin Nash!
Kevin Nash comes out on crutches and says that all the tag teams in TIW will be in action tonight including Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. Who ever impresses Mick Foley the most with their performance will compete for the championship at Back to Basics. He then says that Dolph and Drew will be wrestling next. Before Kevin Nash goes to the announce table he promises that sooner or later Scott Hall and Sean Waltman will come to TIW and teach Dolph and Drew a lesson.

Match #1
Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre are in the ring and some bad techno music begins to play and out on the entrance ramp comes Orlando Jordan, Okuda and Melina. Orlando and Okuda are wearing small rainbow tights and Melina is wearing a fairly revealing gold dress.
Ring Announcer: Tony Chimel
This match is schedualed for one fall with a twenty minute time limit. Coming to the ring weighing in at a total combined weight of 468 pounds, accompanied by Melina, the team of Andro and Miki they are the Rainbow Coalition!
Kevin Nash
Correct me if I’m wrong isn’t that Orlando Jordan and Okada? What did Chimel call them, is he drunk again?
Josh Matthews
From the notes I have here this is the newest signee from Mick Foley. Orlando wants to be called Andro now and he’s now calling Kazuchika Okada, Miki.
Kevin Nash
Andro and Miki… Sounds kinda…
Josh Matthews
Andro is short for androgynous which I assume is self explanatory. Miki is a Japanese pet name meaning “flower stalk” which is symbolic for supporting beauty.
Kevin Nash
Lovely team Foley has picked up here.
Josh Matthews
Don’t let the names fool you Andro is a former Gold Gloves winner and Miki is a heck of a young athlete that’s competed extensively in New Japan Pro Wrestling. These guys have the skills to give anyone a tough day at the office. Then you factor in that Melina is a former manager of tag team champions before and you’d be best served not to sleep on this team.
Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre versus The Rainbow Coalition (w. Melina)
Dolph and Andro start out the match. Dolph starts the match by laughing at his opponent which quickly stops when Andro cracks him in the face. Dolph comes at Andro quickly but gets reversed into a roll up for a quick 1 count until Dolph reverses him for a 1 count as well. Dolph then controls Andro with a wrist lock and tags in Drew McIntyre. Drew comes in and batters Andro for a bit until Andro gets Drew in a leg scissors and begins to buck him hips towards Drew’s face. Drew quickly escapes the hold and goes to the corner where Dolph talks to him and tries to psyche him back up. Andro then tags in Miki. Miki doesn’t have much success against Drew as he is out sized and out maneuvered. Drew uses a series of power moves to batter Miki.
He then tags in Dolph to also pick apart Miki. Dolph seems less concerned with beating Miki then he does with humiliating him. Dolph steps on his face and grinds the heel of his boot on the forehead. Andro starts the fans clapping as a way to get Miki back into the match. The fans clap and cheer The Rainbow Coalition mostly cheering against Dolph and Drew though. Dolph talks trash to the crowd and blows a snot rocket on Miki as he tags Drew back in. Drew then tries to humiliate Miki as well but has less success as Miki fights back until he finally hits a belly to back suplex. As Miki inches to for the tag Drew tags in Dolph who catches Miki just in time. However, Miki hits an enzugiri to free himself for the hot tag. Andro takes out Dolph with a right and then the returning Drew with a left. He then hits Dolph with three lefts and a right knocking Dolph to the ground he then picks up Dolph and hits the running power slam. 1… 2… and Drew makes it back in the ring for the save.
Miki makes it back in the ring and the three brawl as the referee desperately tries to get control. In the melee Dolph hits Miki with the Zig Zag and Miki rolls to the outside. Dolph and Drew then batter Orlando for a minute. Drew then sets Andro up in Hangman Neckbreaker as Dolph ascends the turnbuckle setting up their double team finisher call The Perfect Choice. Just as they’re about to hit it the Wolfpack’s music comes on. Drew and Dolph look to the stage and are shocked, but no one comes out. Miki the comes back and pushed Dolph off the top rope into the ring and Andro reverses Drew and tosses him the oth outside. Andro and Miki then both ascend opposite turnbuckles and come off the top with a fair of missle drop kicks to Dolph who has just got his footing. Andro goes for the pin and gets the three count.
Winner: The Rainbow Coalition
Josh Matthews
And The Rainbow Coalition pull of the upset with a move they like to call the “Bi Bi Birdie.”
Kevin Nash
With a little help from the Wolfpack. So Josh how exactly do these two spell Bye bye? ….actually never mind that I think I know.

Robert Roode and James Strom talk about how they were perfectly content to come out and make fun of the Guerrero legacy but since there is now a spot open for the World Tag Team Championship they’d like to prove to Mick that they are the best tag team in the world. Foley then lets them know that he’s already booked them for a match against Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez. Roode and Storm seem happy about this.

Ring Announcer: Tony Chimel

Ring Announcer: Tony Chimel

Skip Sheffield comes to the ring with purpose flanked by Natalya and slides in the ring…
Skip Sheffield (w. Natalya) versus Ted DiBiase Jr. (w. Michelle McCool)
Skip rushed Ted DiBiase Jr. who has already picked up a microphone but before he could say anything Skip clothslines him three different times as DiBiase keeps getting up each time. Skip then whips DiBiase into the corner and hits him with an avalanche. Michelle McCool pulls DiBiase out of the ring and begins to massage his shoulders as Skip stands him ground in the middle of the ring. DiBiase motions for Skip to wait but Skip beckons him back to fight. DiBiase then instructs the referee to back Skip Sheffield away from the ropes. The referee does so and DiBiase hops into the ring. He reaches into his breast pocket for something but is cut off when Skip hits him with a shoulder block and then picks him up for the Over the Shoulder Bolder Holder and nails him with it for the 1… 2… 3…
Winner: Skip Sheffield
As Natalya comes in the ring to celebrate with Skip Sheffield DiBiase makes it to his feet and reaches into his breast pocket albeit a little wobbly. He pulls out a check book and a silver pen and begins to write on the check. As the referee raises Skip Sheffield’s hand DiBiase whispers into the refs ear and hands him the check. The ref then turns and asks Natalya something and she looks kinda upset. The ref then goes to the outside and talks to ring announcer Tony Chimel.
Ring Announcer: Tony Chimel
Ladies and Gentlemen I have just been informed that this decision has been reversed. Since Natalya is not an officially licensed manager her presence at ring side is tantamount to cheating thus… The winner of this match as a result of a disqualification Ted DiBiase Jr.!
As the referee runs from ringside stuffing a check in his pocket. Skip turns from Tony Chimel, who in the confusion caught his ire, to Ted. He slowly walks towards Ted with menacing purpose and just as he’s about to hit Ted Ted holds up a signed check at Sheffield which stops him in his tracks. DiBiase then hands the check over to Sheffield. As Skip is examining it DiBiase calls for the mic and says that if Sheffield hits him he’ll void the check straight away. He then implores Sheffield to consider what money can do to his career. He then says that he literally bought a win tonight and that is just the tip of the iceburg
Skip looks hesitant at first but when Ted takes the check from him and add another zero to it Sheffield shakes him head and extends his hand. DiBiase and Sheffield shake hands as Michelle McCool looks very pleased and Natalya does not look happy. DiBiase then whispers in Sheffield ear who nods in agreement. Sheffield then turns to Natalya and boots her in the stomach and then picks her put and drives her into the mat with the Over the Shoulder Bolder Holder.
Josh Matthews
What a disgusting display by Skip Sheffield! I can’t believe that he’d join Ted DiBiase Jr. and do that to a woman. Natalya is probably the toughest woman here in TIW but she’s no match for a 270lb beast like Sheffield.
Kevin Nash
Ted DiBiase Jr. must have given him a heck of a lot of money and all she did was get him disqualified from a match he clearly dominated. Where would your loyalty lie?
Time: 8:00
Segment #3
Christian walks into Mick Foley’s office as David Otunga is walking out. David Otunga is wearing an orange pimp suit complete with cane and fedora. Christian gives Otunga a curious glance as the two pass by one another.
Christian comes in concerned that he isn’t on the card tonight and that Foley should realize that he doesn’t want to make the Peepulation angry, and demands a match for tonight to show off his skills and get ready for the World Championship shot at Back to Basics. Foley says the only wrestler that isn’t schedualed tonight is Vladimir Kozlov. Christian says he’ll face Kozlov and Foley warns against it since Kozlov isn’t really a “warm up match.” Christian says that Samoa Joe beat him and David Otunga last week, he can’t be that difficult. Foley then says “But Samoa Joe is…” before Foley can finish the sentence Christian says “Book the match” and storms out.
Time: 3:00

Ezekial and Shad don’t look too happy with this news and Ezekial then asks “Why would you want to be out manager after what Joe did to us.” Otunga explains that the two of them lost because they had no guidance and they had no trust in one another. He then goes on to talk about how with his guidance and strategies they could dominate TIW. Otunga then gives a rundown of his credentials such as being a Harvard graduate and a lawyer.
