Joey Styles: Ladies and gentleman, welcome back for the second time, second week in a row, to WCW Nitro!
Mauro Ranallo: We saw last week the official return, the rebirth of WCW thanks to Elon Musk, the new owner of World Championship Wrestling! Joey Styles: Lots of old faces last week, and lots of new faces were debuted. That all continues this week as we actually are welcoming our third addition to the announce team. Mauro Ranallo: This man needs no entrance, he's been around the block, in fact, I think this is the only stop you haven't made and now, it's official, Taz, welcome to WCW! Taz: Thank you guys so much and I can't express the gratitude I have to be here and be back on behind this desk. With that, we all witnessed the return of Chris Jericho, the self-proclaim Father of WCW. Lots not forget how last week ended either guys. Joey Styles: That is right, Sting made a huge return last week and made it known that he here, and that he is 100% World Championship Wrestling, then and now. Taz: The now depends on one man though, Brock Lesnar! There might be a new sheriff in town boys, that's for sure. Joey Styles: Speaking of Brock Lesnar, he easily advanced and is one match closer to gold as we continue the WCW Relaunch World Heavyweight Title Tournament tonight!

Mauro Ranallo: Speak of the man himself, here he comes to make his lonnnnng awaited return to WCW. STINGER IS HERE!
Sting comes out to a pop from the crowd. He makes his way to the ring and is handed a mic. Sting: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Crowd pops. Sting: Boy does it feel good to be back home. Doesn't it?! Sting: You know, since 2001, things just haven't been the same. They've been a blur. They've been a hit and miss. They've been confusing for the Stinger. I made a pit stop here, and there. Fought some matches with some of the best this business has had. Dream matches shall we. While it was all great, it still just wasn't the same one bit. This. THIS though, World Championship Wrestling. This is home. THIS is Sting! Sting: Last week, I had to sit back and hear people cry and moan about how they feel about WCW. About how they personally built WCW with their bare hands, with their name, with their annoying egos. As hard as it was to hear it go on all night, I laughed just as hard. Let's face it. Roll back the tape here fellas. If you look at the likes of the guys who want to claim their name to fame and carrying WCW, look further. Sting: 1987. The year was 1987. NONE OF YOU were a part of WCW, heck, NWA at that time. But you know who was. You know who you'll find in the dusty old pages of the history of this company. I'll give you a hint. You're looking at him. So if there's ANYONE who can say that their blood, their sweat, and their tears flow through the foundation of this company, it's mine. Sting goes to continue but is cut off... MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM

Joey Styles: Business is about to pick up here! Chris Jericho spent last week praising himself as the Father of WCW. He's one of the people Sting was referring to I am sure.
Taz: To be fair, Chris Jericho was red hot back in his time with WCW. I can see where he is coming from. Mauro Ranallo: Don't drink the Jericho juice just yet, Taz. Chris Jericho gets into the ring and grabs a mic. Chris Jericho: Wooooooooooooooooooooooo! Great to have you back Stinger, babay! Chris Jericho: You stand there and talk about turning back time all the way back to this time and that time. How about we turn back just a few minutes, shall we? Chris Jericho: You can stand their and get off to your own laughter, but what I said last week about me being the Father to this company. That stands. You had you're time at one point, but that time is no more. WCW is Jericho, always has been. Always will be. Sting laughs, which makes Jericho hot. Sting: Always has been? Chris, do you not remember your butt heading out the door so you could go play kiss kiss with your mistress up north? Yeah, we, the true bloods of WCW remember that. So don't there and spit that non-sense to anyone. Chris Jericho: Yeah, and I think it's safe to say, Stinger, that that choice turned out to be a hell of a good choice. In fact, I faired pretty well up there. You on the other hand? One of the most pathetic things I've ever seen displayed. Heck, you sucked so bad, you can't even wrestle anymore! Crowd boos horrible at the jab. You can tell that hit a sour spot with Sting. Joey Styles: That is horrible. Chris Jericho making reference to a career ending injury Sting suffered. Taz: If he's gonna throw punches, he's gotta be able to take them too. Sting: Chris...you run mouth anymore about that kind of stuff ever again, I will make sure I have one last match in the last moments of my life and beat the living crap out of you so bad, that you won't even be able to walk let alone wrestle. Chris Jericho and Sting get nose to nose staring each other down. MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM

Mauro Ranallo: Here comes Mr. Musk!
Elon Musk comes out and enters the ring. Joey Styles: Smart idea to try to stop this before it gets to carried away. Elon Musk: Look, look, I think it's safe to say, and I am pretty sure everyone in this crowd can agree, that both of you guys have a huge stamp in the history of this company. So let's- Musk is interrupted pretty quickly... MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM

Taz: If business was picked up before, it's definitely going to be picked up now! Here he comes, Brock Lesnar!
Maura Ranallo: This could end up very, very bad gentleman. Lesnar walks to the ring smiling and laughing the whole time. He enters into the ring, smirking. Brock Lesnar: You (points to Jericho), you (points to Sting), and you (points to Musk). All three of you.........you know who runs the show here. It's 2021, I play here now. Musk backs away while Jericho and Sting stand unamused. Chris Jericho: My rules, Brock. Daddy is putting his foot down- Sting: Shut up, Chris. Look, BROCK. We all know who, what, and strong you are. But I got a newsflash for you. Same message as last week that I told you. You don't get to come in here, new kid on the block, and dictate this and that. This is MY house. Get it? Brock shakes his head up and down slowly. Smirking again. Brock Lesnar: Sure...yeah...I heard you both...but just remember...you all asked for this. Lesnar drops the mic and exits the ring. Sting, Jericho, and Musk watch as Lesnar's theme hits and he walks up the ramp. Joey Styles: What on earth is Lesnar implying?! Mauro Ranallo: I have no idea, but all I know is it could be a long night full of anexiety! Taz: Brock Lesnar doesn't mess around! If you think for one second that he's going to bend the knee to anyone, you have another thing coming! (Rating: 67)
Joey Styles: Welcome back from break and welcome back to WCW Nitro!
Mauro Ranallo: What a way to start of the show, who knows how things will all go down tonight with so many heads about ready to bump! MUSIC HITS THE SOUND SYSTEM

Joey Styles: And here come Gallows and Anderson!
They make their way to the ring. Maruo Ranallo: These guys were unable to win the four-team ladder match last week for the WCW World Tag Team titles. They'll be looking for redemption tonight and to get themselves another opportunity. MATCH: Tag Team Standard Match
