MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM
Mauro Ranallo: And here's the man who lead the charge! Ladies and gentleman, Elon Musk is here!

. . . . . . . . SEGMENT: WELCOME BACK WCW
Elon Musk makes his way to the ring.
Elon Musk: I think you've all waited long enough. You know after the announcement came out back at the beginning of March that I bought WCW from you know who, I didn't know what to expect. I only assumed that the fans of pro wrestling would be intrigued, I only assumed fans would be curious as to what would happen, and I only assumed there would be just a tiny bit of excitement...you didn't let me down. Elon Musk: I know from the exact point where the pen left the paper after signing my name to the ownership papers that the workload ahead of me to get this ship up and running as fast as I wanted to would be monstrumental. 16 hour work days, 7 days a week, but I knew what I wanted. I know what I wanted to deliver for you all. And you know what? I wasn't placating when I said it before. You have waited long enough. Elon Musk: World Championship Wrestling is back. It's here. It's right now! Elon Musk: This isn't the same exact WCW of 2001, no no no. I will say that now, it's 20 years later. The foundation is great and that's thanks to the history of this company. We will continue to launch and strive off of that same foundation, give you fans what you want, and give you fans what you deserve. A part of this industry died when this company went dark, but today, life is granted once again and the industry got a little bit better! In honor of this beautiful night, under the stars and sky above us, tonight, there has to be spotlights. There has to be fireworks, there has to be GOLD. That's why I am announcing right now, tonight, on the first night back, we will be crowning new WCW World Tag Team champions. Four teams, two belts. There's no better way to kick of this show than that. There is no better way welcoming home WCW and Nitro than- MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM

Joey Styles: Say it ain't so! He's here!
Mauro Ranallo: Chris Jericho is back in WCW! Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring. Chris Jericho: Let's step back a second big man, shall we? Just a tiny bit. No better way? Chris Jericho: No better way to open a damn show that has been sitting in the basement of Vince McMahon's mansion? You may be the dumbest smart person I know, Elon! Elon puts his hands up while backing away and eventually out of the ring, giving the floor to Jericho. Chris Jericho: You know, it's funny he mentions the word foundation. The foundation of WCW. Did you know, that if you got down on your hands and knees and dug and dug and dug and looked at the foundation of this company, you would see the words CHRIS and JERICHO plastered all over the damn thing! Chris Jericho made WCW what it was. I helped create the beast, and when I left, it's not a mystery that after I left that things began to fall apart. Not one bit. Chris Jericho: It's no surprise that Musk reached out to me, that he wanted me to come 'home' as he put it. Anyone will come home when they can smell green, but it takes a true legend to understand just how much something needs someone in order to survive, that's what I am doing here. WCW needs ME. This show needs me! Nitro needs Jericho! NITRO IS JERICHO, baby! Chris Jericho: Daddy's home kids. You better play nice and by my rules too, because when daddy wins that WCW World Heavyweight title belt and you don't follow daddy's rules, you know exactly what kind of whooping daddy will do with his belt. It's time for WCW, it's time for Chris Jericho, it's time for WCW and Chris Jericho to reign once ah-gain! (Rating: 69)
Joey Styles: Welcome back to WCW Nitro, what a huge way to start this crazy relaunch, Mauro!
Mauro Ranallo: You're telling me! Chris Jericho interrupts the brand new CEO of WCW to basically claim all credit for WCW. We'll see if he truly is the father figure of the company when he competes later tonight in the WCW Relaunch World Title Tournament. Joey Styles: On top of that, Mr. Musk announces that tonight, there will be a champion crowned! Two superstars will walk-out tonight as they WCW World Tag Team champions. And true to his fashion, Mr. Musk just sent a text to inform us that to make this four way tag team match much more special, it has been upgraded to a 4-team ladder match! Mauro Ranallo: What a way to kick things off, Joey! MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM
