We get a video package to BAW Rampage's theme, with the Bad-Asses highlighted in order: Samoa Joe, The Hardy Boys, Desmond Wolfe, Raven, Heath Slater, RVD, and The Undertaker. Then when the package is over, we go live to the arena!
“Ladies and gentlemen...welcome to BAW RAMPAGE!!!! At long last Bad Ass Wrestling has a home on broadcast television! We are live @ the Continental Airlines Arena in Newark, New Jersey, for the next two hours, and for this premiere of BAW Rampage, we are dedicating to make these next two hours the most intense form of television ever! Looks like we're gonna go to the ring for our first...”
All of a sudden, Raven's music hits, and the arena reacts with boos as he makes his way down the entrance ramp and into the ring as he waits for the fans reaction to die down a little before he speaks...
Raven: So, this is it? This is our so called premiere episode? BAW finally gets prime-time television and THIS is the premiere episode we've been hyping? (fans cheer) This is bull! (fans boo) But don't blame me, I could run this place all my own, but instead I have to listen to the so called “brilliant” board of directors. And how do they decide to choose the number one contender for the BAW World Championship? A tag match! Even worse, I have to team up with...what's he calling himself now? Mr. “Wednesday” Night...Rob...Van...Dam....(fans chant the names as Raven says them), Well Rob, you stay out of my way tonight and maybe, just MAYBE, I'll help you out in this match...but you cross me...and your dead....
Raven starts to leave the ring as fans chant “You Suck”, then he takes the mic again
Raven: Oh and here's a little message for our “esteemed” champion, “The Undertaker” (fans pop at the mention of his name) Your on top now, but the bigger you are, the harder you fall, and once you fall....I will see to it you NEVER...get back up....Quoth The Raven...NEVERMORE....(Raven does his classic pose as fans jeer and he leaves the ring)
“Well as Raven said, tonight's main event will be a tag match to determine the number one contender to the BAW Champion, The Undertaker. How does that work? Simple: Whichever team wins faces each other immediately after defeating the other team. It's gonna be Raven and “Mr. Wednesday Night” RVD, against Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels, so to say these two teams have minor differences with each other is like saying Vince Russo only cost WCW a few dollars...We'll be back with our opening contest in a moment...”
Total time (intro+Raven's promo)=8 Minutes
Mr. Kennedy vs Frankie Kazarian: BAW Intercontinental Championship
We return with KENNEDY! going off in the background as the fans go nuts as their Intercontinental Champion comes down, dressed in purple tights, the IC belt in hands, and gets in the ring and does his famous pose and the mic falls from the ceiling...Kennedy is going to speak...
Mr Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, assholes alike, the first ever match-up on BAW Rampage is scheduled for ONE fall! Introducing....the man who puts the “Asshole” in Bad ASS Wrestling! The man who takes on all challengers...the man who is YOUR BAW INTERCONTINENTAL! CHAMPION!!!! From GREEN BAY WISCONSINNNNNNNNNNN MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....
However, Mr. Kennedy's intro is interrupted by Frankie Kazarian's theme as “The Future” comes down dressed in green colored attire, to heat from the crowd as SoCal Val, the ring announcer, does his introduction
Val: His opponent, and challenger, from Yucca Valley, California, weighing 215 lbs, “The Future” Frankie Kazarian!
Kazarian gets in the ring and we're underway!
Mr. Kennedy locks up with “The Future”, who delivers some knife edge chops to start us off, with the crowd going “Woo!” with each chop. Ken kicks Kaz in the chest and tries to go for the mic check to end the match early but it gets countered easily with Kaz holding the ropes. He delivers a few headbutts followed by a kick in the back of the champ's head but that barely gets a 2. Kaz climbs the turnbuckle and jumps but Kennedy dodges and rolls up the challenger but only gets a 2. Kaz flings Mr Kennedy into the ropes and scores a swinging neckbreaker. This is only good for 2 as well. The frustrated Kaz grabs Kennedy and heads for the turnbuckle, looking to score the “Flux Capacitor” but Kennedy elbows his face twice and shoves the challenger off, then scores a double-axe handle off the turnbuckle. Once Kazarian recovers, he stumbles over to Kennedy and...MIC CHECK! Kennedy covers Kazarian and gets the 3 count.
Winner and still BAW Intercontinental Champion: Mr. Kennedy
Kennedy calls the mic back down
Mr. Kennedy: And your winner and STILL INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!!!! MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! KENNEDY!!!! (wait for it....wait for it)...KENNEDY!!!!
Total match time: 13 minutes.
Backstage-Christopher Daniels addresses the audience, who react to his appearance with a mix of cheers and boos.
Daniels: Tonight, is the first step in finally reaching my destiny! Tonight, on the premiere of “Rampage” I will not only defeat the team of Raven and Van Dam, but then I will pin Joe in the middle of the ring, so don't get too buddy buddy with me Joey...because we WILL face each other right afterward...and “The Fallen Angel” WILL win! And then “The Fallen Angel” WILL face the deadman once again, he WILL get revenge for his previous loss, and he WILL become the new BAW Champion!
Promo time: 1 minute
We return from commercial and see a lovely looking bedroom, featuring a bed scattered with rose petals and candles. Maryse is laying in said bed and speaks
Maryse: The hot asses of Bad Ass Wrestling are gonna steam things up tonight, just for you...you are watching BAW Rampage...*she blows a kiss to the camera*
Skip Sheffield and Heath Slater vs The Hardy Boyz
We return to the ring to see the two former members of Nexus already in the ring, with Slater on the mic. Fans don't seem to care for the redhead but the cowboy gets a fairly decent pop
Heath: Well well, can you imagine it Skip? Here we are where we belong! We may not have succeeded what we wanted to in Nexus, but I can assure you all the team of the “Cornfed Meathead” and the “One man rock band” will dominate the tag division!
Sheffield takes the mic for a moment
Skip: Yea and now let me hear you all! “Yep Yep Yep!” (the fans respond with “Yep Yep Yep!) “Yep Yep Yep!” (the fans respond again) “Yep Yep-
Skip is cut off with “Modest” by Jeff's band and he and his brother are out to several cheers from the crowd.
Val: Their opponents, from Cameron North Carolina, at a total combined weight of 461 lbs (allegedly...), Matt and Jeff, the Hardyz!
The brothers Hardy get in the ring and we are underway!
Jeff and Sheffield start us off as Jeff dropkicks the strong southern superstar and follows up with a kick to the face. Jeff throws Sheffield in the corner and tags in Matt, then flings his brother into Skip. Sheffield catches him however and body slams him, then tags Slater into the ring, who starts whipping away at Matt. He catches him in a small package but just gets a 2.
As the match goes on, we briefly take a look backstage and see that Ink Inc. members Jesse Neal and Shannon Moore are watching the match, almost as if they are studying every move that Jeff and Matt make...
Back to the action in the ring, Slater goes for a clothesline, but Matt ducks and trips him, then tags Jeff back in who beats down the redhead. Heath tries to tag in Sheffield but Jeff stops him short of doing so and scores the Side Effect, but Skip breaks the pin up. As Slater recovers, he throws Jeff out of the ring and tags Skip in, who goes to the outside and slams Jeff into the barricade, then into the turnbuckle, and rolls him into the ring. Sheffield measures Jeff up as he stumbles to his feet and...WAM! He delivers a devastating clothesline, covers Jeff, but Matt breaks up the pin. Skip backs up to deliver another clothesline as Jeff recovers, Matt makes the blind tag just in case. Heath makes a blind tag as well, but Skip doesn't notice. He charges at Matt, but he ducks and pulls the ring ropes down, sending Sheffield to the outside. Heath punches Matt and beats him down for a few moments and then tries to go for his jumping neckbreaker, but Skip recovers and goes for another clothesline, but Matt dodges and Skip ends up clocking Slater instead...Matt throws Skip back outside and quickly tags in his brother, who mounts the turnbuckle and scores “Whisper in the Wind” on the downed Slater. 1...2...3 and this one is over.
Winners: The Hardy Boyz.
Afterwards, as the brothers celebrate, Skip Sheffied gets back in the ring and stares down the brothers...slowly but surely he extends his hand to them for a handshake. The brothers are a little cautious at first, but Jeff extends his in return and shakes Skip's hand. Matt does the same to show respect. Slater is still down, but he watches these actions...
As soon as the brothers have left the ring, Slater recovers. Skip tries to help him...and is met with a swift kick to the crotch. The angry Slater starts yelling at him and kicks him. The ref tries to stop this but is pushed away by the angry redhead. Slater goes to the outside and looks under the ring...where he proceeds to pull out a electric guitar...Sheffied slowly gets to his feet and....WHACK! Slater clocks him with the electric instrument, breaking it to pieces and busting the cornfed meathead open. Officals come out to help him as Slater leaves to a chorus of boos.
Total match time+Post match actions=18 minutes
We return from commercial to the backstage area as RVD does his pre match warm ups as Bubba Ray watches on
Bubba: I'm telling you Rob, we can't trust that loner...I know this match is important to you; a chance at the top prize, and main eventing on our first televised episode no less! But Raven? Who's bright idea was this?
RVD (gets up): Bubba, it's cool your concerned...but I know PRECISELY what I'm doing...It would be suicidal for Raven to try and screw me over...and just think, if I win....WHEN I win...I will get that shot at Taker and his belt...because I'm not just “Mr. Wednesday Night...(Van Dam does his whole “point to self” ordeal here) I'm the WHOLE F'N SHOW!
RVD leaves and Jesse Neal enters the room to get some bottled water; he stares down Bubba Ray as he does.
Bubba: Yes? Can I help you?
Neal: No...I'm not looking for anything...yet...
Neal stares at Bubba Ray Dudley for a few more seconds and then leaves.
Backstage promo(s): 2 minutes.
Hamada vs Daffney
Val: The following “Hot-Ass” contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Japan, Hamada!
Hamada enters the ring in gold attire and a pop from the crowd. Her opponent, Daffney, dressed in a gothic schoolgirl outfit, black button up shirt and plaid skirt, enters the ring, with little reaction from the crowd except for some catcalls and whistling...
Val: Her opponent...from the psycho ward, Daffney!
As soon as both girls enter the ring, we're under way...but just as Hamada kicks Daffney in the midsection and gets her in a headlock, the sounds of a wolf howl is heard...Desmond Wolfe makes his way to the arena, much to the chagrin of the fans.
Wolfe: Ladies, Ladies, with all due respect...I doubt the nice...'fans', if you want to call them that (fans boo as Desmond gets in the ring) want to watch two tramps beat each other in the ring...after all, this is the first episode of “Rampage”, and it's all about making a impact...I mean, I didn't even get a spot on this first ever episode! How is that any way to treat a future legend like myself? (he circles both girls) Well, I'm going to make my impact one way or another...like so...
As if on cue, he grabs Daffney and throws her to the ground. Her response is to do her loud, ear-shattering scream. Wolfe doesn't flinch and grabs her again, but Hamada stops him. He backs her up to the corner with a look of insanity in his face as Daffney leaves the ring, not caring for Hamada's safety whatsoever. Wolfe grabs Hamada and looks to perform the “Tower of London” on her, but the ring suddenly is drenched in green light as the following can be heard...
“STAND BACK! THERE'S A HURRICANE COMING THROUGH!!!!”
Suddenly, The Hurricane comes out from under the ring and stands before Wolfe, giving Hamada enough time to escape as the masked superhero and the London brawler trade punches. Refs swarm the ring to try and break them up, but Hurricane is able to score “The Eye of the Hurricane” on Wolfe, followed by a “Shining Wizard” on Wolfe and leaves the ring.
Samoa Joe is seen heading to the ring...The main event is next!
Time ('match' and promos)=8 minutes.

Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe vs Rob Van Dam and Raven-#1 contender's tag match
Val: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our main event! The following is a number one contender's tag team match! The winning team will then face each other in a 1-fall to a finish match! Introducing first...
RVD's music hits as the fans chant his name along with the lyrics to his song; RVD enters the arena wearing a white singlet with yin/yang symbols all around it and his initials in black on the back.
Val: From Battle Creek Michigan, weighing at 237 lbs, (Van Dam points to himself) Rob...Van....Dam!!!!
As RVD gets in the ring, Raven's music hits, and here comes the fomer NWA Champion to jeering from the fans.
Val: and his tag partner, from The Bowery, weighting in at 245 lbs, Raven!
Next comes the Samoan Submission Machine...The godzilla theme remix hits and he here comes...
Val: and their opponents, first from Orange County, California, weighing 280 lbs, “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe!
The music of “The Fallen Angel” hits and the arena reacts with a mix of cheers and boos as Daniels makes his way to the ring to complete the pairs...
Val: and his tag partner, from The city of Angels, weighing “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels!
Daniels comes in wearing his black robe and black ring tights underneath as he stares down his opponents, then his partner...the bell rings and we are underway!
Joe and Raven lock up first with the Samoan kicking Raven in the midsection followed by a kick to the legs, taking the hardcore wrestler off of his feet. He picks him up and whips him to the ropes and delivers a German suplex, followed by a second one, releasing Raven on the second one. Joe whips Raven to his corner, where Daniels makes the blind tag and mounts the turnbuckle and delivers a cross-body. He covers but only gets 1. Raven body slams the fallen angel and whips him into HIS corner, where RVD makes a blind tag of his own. He starts performing several kicks to Daniels and takes him off of his feet and bounces off the ropes and delivers Rolling Thunder, but barely gets a 2. RVD picks Daniels up off of the ground, who flings Van Dam into the ropes and delivers a powerful dropkick. Van Dam recovers and Raven tags himself in, much to Van Dam's displeasure.
Raven headbutts Daniels, who responds with a chop to the chest (fans woo when he chops). Daniels performs a sidewalk slam and covers but gets 2. He flings himself into the corner, not noticing Joe making a blind tag, and delivers another cross-body to Raven, but the ref doesn't count since he's not the legal man anymore. Daniels argues with Joe as he enters the ring, but Joe ignores him and heads for Raven. Raven rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair, looking to use it, but RVD stops him. The match goes on for another good 15 minutes, with each man tagging himself in when the opportunity allows him to do so. Eventually, RVD takes Joe down with a powerful Van Daminator. He climbs the turnbuckle for the Five Star Frog Splash, when Raven makes another blind tag. RVD nails the maneuver, but the count is not made since he's not the legal man...Raven goes in to try and make the pin himself, but RVD stops him and argues with him once again. Raven rolls outside and gets a chair out again, but RVD once again tries to stop him. Daniels gets in the ring, as the ref tries to stop him. With the ref's back turned, RVD dodges a chair shot from Raven and delivers a brutal Van Daminator! Joe has recovered at this point and puts Raven in his Coquina Clutch. The ref declares Raven unconscious and thus unable to continue...he and RVD are out of the match.
But Joe doesn't have much time to celebrate; the second he turns around, he's met with a cross-body from the top rope, compliments of Daniels. A cover only gets 2. He delivers several kicks to the Samoan’s head and nails a hurricarana but again only gets 2. Daniels attempts to go for another hurricarana, but Joe catches him and scores a powerbomb, then picks him back up for a Samoan drop, but just misses the 3 count...Joe picks Daniels up, but is caught in a small package but Joe kicks out just before the ref's hand hits a 3rd time.
By this time, Raven and RVD have nearly headed for the back, but Raven, obviously not pleased with his loss, turns around and tackles Van Dam. The refs start to head out and try to pull the two apart including the ref officiating the match itself. Joe doesn't seem to notice and sends Daniels into the turnbuckle and nails the muscle buster. He goes for his submission and Daniels taps, but the ref has left the ring to try and break up RVD and Raven, where he gets knocked down by a wayward kick from Van Dam as he and Raven are escorted back to the back. Meanwhile, someone comes out from the crowd. The long hair and fancy clothes mean only one person: Drew McIntyre. He gets in the ring, kicks Joe in the back of the head, and pounds away at the Samoan. He nails his future shock DDT on the nearby steel chair that Raven threw back into the ring and quickly exits before the officials notice. Daniels recovers by this point and mounts the turnbuckle, where he nails the BME on Joe. Another ref finally rolls back in the ring and counts...1...2...3!
Winner and number one contender: Christopher Daniels.
After the match, The Fallen Angel celebrates in the ring, knowing now he has earned his shot at Road 2 Ruin to face...
GONG!
Daniels looks around as he hears the famous gong of the deadman, the BAW champion...the lights go out in the ring and the fans go wild...
The darkness remains for a few moments until the lights finally come back on. Daniels is gone from the ring...but McIntyre has returned and inches his way to the fallen Samoa Joe, still in the ring. He grabs the chair and opens it up, then grabs Joe by his head as he begins to recover and...
WHAM!
Joe receives another DDT on the folded out steel chair, this one busting him open. McIntyre grabs the chair and whacks away at Joe's arm. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! He nails several shots on Joe's arm and shoulder as the refs come in to try and stop him, but they are unable to overpower him. McIntyre grins and stands over the unconscious Samoan as the fans boo their displeasure, some even throw garbage in the ring, as the show comes to a end.
Matches+McIntyre beat down=34 minutes.
