KANE & ECW champion C.M. PUNK vs. DEUCE & DOMINO (w/Cherry)

ECW champion C.M. Punk came out to start the show. They're doing a tag match to start things off. Kane came out as his partner, then the Greasers came out as the opposition. They're doing Punk & Kane vs. Big Daddy V & Mark Henry at the PPV on Sunday.

Punk started things off with Domino, who shoved him across the chest. Punk answered with kicks to the gut before tagging out to Kane. Domino accepted an uppercut and back elbow from Kane for a nearfall. Punk came back in and the Greasers took control. Domino missed with a splash when Punk pulled the ropes down, then Punk made a tag to Kane.

Kane cleaned house, then he landed a top rope clothesline on Domino in center ring. The action broke down and the babyfaces executed their finishers - Go 2 Sleep and chokeslam - a few seconds off. Kane covered Domino for the win.

WINNERS: Kane & Punk

Backstage, Matt Striker stood comically behind Mark Henry and Big Daddy V's chest muscles. He built up the ECW tag match at the PPV. Daddy spoke and said Kane's decade of destruction ends at Armageddon. Henry said Punk has one option: run. Striker referenced the Bible about not worrying about tomorrow because today brings its own grief. That would be Matthew 6:34 from Striker. Henry and Daddy glared menacingly into the camera as Striker tied it together to the Armageddon PPV.
