It’s November 27, 2004 and we’re on the air with WWE Afterburn!
Last week: John Cena wins the US title, but gets injured as a result.
Our host today is Josh Matthews. Armageddon is coming!
JIP, Rene Dupree vs Rey Mysterio. Chinlock on Rey. That is one big black eye. In my opinion, they should NOT fire Hardcore Holly, for Rene Dupree’s sake. If they do, Dupree would look like such a pussy in the locker room. In this case, Dupree has two choices: fight back or take a beating like a man. This isn’t school, it’s wrestling. Back to the match: Rey gets out of it, but gets a belly to belly by Rene for a 2. Dupree to the top, but misses the legdrop. Rey with a dropkick, punches and a bulldog for a 2. Now, Rene is in position for the 619, no, Rey thrown to the outside. Dupree gets thrown in the post. Back in the ring, Thesz Press for a 2. Rey goes for the headscissors, but Rene puts him down. Bodyslam attempt, no, in the position for the 619 -> Bang! Rey drops the dime for the cover, the count and the victory!
Coming UP: Kurt Angle challenges someone

We’re back with Josh talking about Cena’s victory last week. Cena’s kidney is re-injured.
Carlito Cool and Jesus are here to talk to Cena. It is his fault because Cena attacked Carlito first. He got exactly what he deserved. They still got the chain. Can’t he just buy another one? Carlito gives the chain to Jesus. Michael Cole asks Jesus isn’t it ironic that Jesus hit Cena in his kidney. Jesus says that Cena would have the same thing. If Cena comes back, Jesus wants a fight. Jesus says “payback is a bleep” and then Carlito spits his apple at the poor defenceless camera.
Coming up: Eddy Guerrero and Booker T have a talk
Up Next: Kenzo Suzuki vs RVD

Someone comes out and looks like Edge. His name is Cody Steal. Cheap Pop when asked where he is from. Angle will do Cody a favour. He’ll go on all fours and let Cody do whatever.
Cody vs Kurt Angle. I’ll just call him EJ. Angle gets up and throws EJ down. Angle with slaps and a kick. A “Cody” chant erupts. I’m still calling him EJ. Angle tells EJ to go on all fours. Tazz says “now Angle will ride Cody”. Yikes. Angle with a stiff kick to EJ. Puches and then, an Angle Slam. Ankle lock and it’s over. Replay of the match. EJ is bleeding. Angle should be FIRED!
