Stables: The Ruthless Roundtable (Regal, Kozlov, Jackson, Sheamus, Burchill, Gabriel and Tatsu)
ECW Champion: William Regal
Matt: Hello and welcome as always to ECW: The Land of Extreme.
Josh: What a night we have for you. Last week, it was announced that Zack Ryder would face either Kozlov or Jackson, and if he won, he would get a title match against Regal.
Matt: Also, Christian envokes his rematch clause tonight, but if he loses, he will have to leave ECW. And here he comes, The Hot Shot from Long Island, Zack Ryder.
Ryder makes his way to the ring waiting in anticipation to see who his foe is tonight.
Matt: The Moscow Mauler? Or Big Zeke?
Ezekiel Jackson comes out by himself to his music.
Josh: Big Zeke it is!
(Zack Ryder vs. Ezekiel Jackson)
Ryder goes at him as soon as the bell rings. He puts him in a headlock. Jackson carries him into a fireman's carry and does a backward slam. He takes Ryder and irish whips him but Ryder performs a swinging neckbreaker while coming back. He goes onto the top rope. As Zeke gets up, he performs a missile dropkick, but there's no one home as Zeke moves out of the way just in time. The crowd is behind Ryder the whole way through. Zeke picks him up and performs multiple backbreakers. He pins him but Ryder kicks out and gets up. He runs towards Zeke and performs a shoulder block but Zeke is still standing. He punches him again and again. He then—to the surprise of everyone—does an inverted suplex on Zeke. He performs a triangle choke but Zeke breaks out. Zeke goes for the powerbomb on Ryder but Ryder counters it. Ryder then performs a leaping leg lariat. Zeke gets up and counters a punch into a bear hug. Ryder hangs on, so Zeke gives up and tries something different. He chokeslams Ryder. Pin. 1...2...no, as Ryder gets the ropes. He then runs towards Zeke and performs a diving crossbody. Ryder waits as Zeke gets up. He then runs towards him from behind and does a one-handed bulldog, but Zeke pushes him as Ryder is in the air, and Ryder falls on his bottom as Zeke stands across the ring from him. Ryder gets up very quickly, runs at Zeke and performs a Lou Thesz Press. He pins him. 1...2...NO as Zeke kicks out. Zeke is completely angry, no longer wanting to have fun, but to just end this quick. He lands a huge punch on Ryder. He—probably for the first time in his life—gets on the top rope. It takes him a while to get up and balance himself. He jumps. Ryder counters it by hitting a dropkick in mid-air. Ryder is pretty impressive tonight. Zeke gets up fast though. He performs a clothesline on Ryder. He carries Ryder into a bearhug again. But before he can apply some pressure, Ryder counters it into a DDT. Pin. 1...2...3? Nope! Zeke kicks out. Zeke irish whips Ryder and performs a big boot to his face. Ryder is on the floor. Zeke takes a moment's rest. But hjis next move, whatever it was, is countered into a pin by Ryder. 1—2—3! The whole crowd, the announcers and Big Zeke himself is surprised.
Ryder wins by pinfall. It was a lucky win. A fluke. Ryder quickly exits out of the arena before he can be punished by Zeke. But he doesn't stop himself from shouting, WOO! WOO! WOO!
Josh: Wow, that may have one of the biggest wins in Ryder's career.
Matt: He is certainly lucky to have made it out of there alive. I bet Regal isn't too happy about this.
Josh: Coming up next, we have some tag team action...Commercial Break!
Back to the show.
Lauren Mayhew: This tag team match is set for one fall where both the members of the winning team will qualify into the King of the Ring Tournament this Sunday at Bragging Rights.
