William Regal demands an ECW title rematch on the basis that his mindset was thrown off at Breaking Point by Tiffany’s decision to ban Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov from ringside.  Tiffany declines, telling him she’s decided he doesn’t get another shot.  Instead, we’ll get a battle royal later on tonight to determine the number one contender.  Regal is then instructed to stay in the ring, as he’s got a match, right now…

Stand back!  There’s a Hurricane Coming Through!

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

William Regal def. The Hurricane

Apparently, this means that The Hurricane won’t be in the battle royal later tonight – Whasssupwitdat?  Regal is forced to compete in his street clothes as this match was a complete surprise to him, and it shows, as The Hurricane controls most of it, and in fact hits the cross body from the top rope for a two.  Regal decides to leave, but Hurricane catches him and tosses him back in – and gets kneed in the skull for his troubles – and a three count.

After the match, Paul Burchill attacks The Hurricane from behind and hits him with the Jackhammer.

Backstage, Goldust is apologizing to Yoshi Tatsu, who apparently just wants to continue his English lessons.  He even impersonates Goldust’s tourettes.  Zack Ryder wants to know if he can say loser.  Goldust tells him to say loser – and he says “Zack Ryder.”  Ryder says we’ll see who the loser is – Woo Woo Woo.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

The new interview girl catches up with Burchill, who asks where Gregory Helms is, and remembers that he supposedly just left him in the ring.  He says he wants to expose the Hurricane for who he is.  Which makes me wonder why he didn’t unmask him when he knocked him out a few minutes ago.

The Bella Twins are here to be guest ring announcers.  They introduce Yoshi Tatsu first, and considering he’s facing Zack Ryder, I hope he’s wearing an extra pair of tights.  Matt Striker says that Zack Ryder has the best entrance music in ECW.  I think it’s between his and Christian’s, honestly.  And I still love Goldust’s theme.

Before getting into the match, however, I just found out that Mick Foley’s father, Jack, has passed away, so I’d like to take the opportunity to send condolences on behalf of the BWF staff to the Foley family.

Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder

A pretty good match, ending with Tatsu nearly kicking Ryder’s head off.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Battle Royal time.  Shelton Benjamin, Vladimir Kozlov, Ezekiel Jackson, Tommy Dreamer, Goldust (who still has a letterbox entrance despite the fact that the show is broadcast in 16:9 widescreen), Tyler Reks, Sheamus…

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

…Yoshi Tatsu, Paul Burchill,  and Zack Ryder (still holding the back of his head).

Zack Ryder wins a 10 Man Battle Royal to become the new Number One Contender for the ECW Championship.

Burchill is tossed by Shelton Benjamin.  After about 5 minutes of nothing of any interest happening, Kozlov and Jackson stare each other down.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Reks was eliminated during the break.  Jackson eliminates Tatsu.  The fans are solidly behind Goldust.  Seriously.  Sheamus is eliminated by Benjamin, as is Jackson.  Sheamus attacks Benjamin, causing him to drop to the floor, eliminating him.  Ryder, Goldust, Kozlov, and Dreamer are left.  Goldust accidentally eliminates himself while going after Ryder, who pulled the ropes down on him.  The same thing happens to Kozlov when he goes after Dreamer, who is dumped over the top rope by the winner, Zack Ryder!

Ryder’s getting a title shot.  Woo Woo Woo, you know it!
