However, as time came for the match to start, Raven was looking for Punk and ran into Julio:
RAVEN: "Julio, is Punk coming?"
JULIO: "I think he flaked out."
RAVEN: "That's alright. I tell you, I would drag my body across broken glass in the deepest pits of hell to get my hands on Shane Douglas and The New Church. So, whether it's three on one -- what so I do, Julio? You with me?"
JULIO: "Yes, I'm with you."
RAVEN: "Three on two it is then. I will have my revenge. Quote the Raven, nevermore ..."
Alexis then comes up and says she'll join Raven and Julio so it's a mixed tag. This is also teh second Clockwork Orange House of Fun match that Alexis has participated in.
Raven, Alexis and Julio cleared the ring at the start, using weapons to keep Douglas and the New Church on the floor. Alexis dove off the top rope on everyone, but she was caught and dumped to the floor. Julio then went for a dive, but was caught as well. Raven delivered a baseball slide to Dinero, knocking down the pile. They began brawling on the floor, with Douglas and Raven pairing off. Slash blasted Dinero with a trash can, bloodying him. Mitchell stabbed Dinero in the head with a spike, and Slash hit him with a crutch. Raven was busted open by Douglas in the crowd. Slash used a broken piece of crutch to carve up Julio's head. Lee dragged Julio up the ramp. Slash hit Alexis with a trashcan lid in the ring. Douglas hit Raven with a trashcan at ringside. The New Church and Douglas were in full control. Slash hit a whirlybird on Alexis. Douglas hit a belly to belly on Raven. Slash went for a Doomsday Device on Julio, who was on Lee's shoulders, but Dinero rolled Lee into a victory roll for a two count (the referee was way out of place) Douglas clotheslined Dinero from the ring. Lee accidentally kicked Douglas out of the ring while going after Alexis. Alexis used a rana to take Slash from the ring. This left Lee in the ring with Alexis, but Raven and Dinero ran in and double superkicked Lee from the ring. Raven and Dinero went to work on Slash and Douglas, putting them in abdominal stretches so Alexis could hit them with cane shots. Douglas was given a conchairto with trashcan lids. The brawl continued, and Raven put Shane Douglas on a table at ringside. Raven elbowdropped Douglas through the table from the second rope. In the ring, Alexis hit a swinging DDT on Slash. An arm came out from under the ring and yanked Raven under it. In the ring, Lee hit a chokeslam on Alexis. Dinero rallied, fighting off Lee and Slash.

We saw Shane Douglas debut alongside the side of Father James Mitchell, the mastermind behind the Disciples of The New Church. We see Raven being taken out with a fireball by Mitchell, then we see subsequent attacks on Alexis Laree and CM Punk. The video closes out with Raven's return to TNA following the attack when he called out Douglas and Mitchell:
"I didn't come out here to whine. I didn't come here to bitch and I didn't come out here to complain. I came out to demand that both of you take a guided tour through Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun!"
We then see the New Church return to TNA and The Sinister Minister attacking him, asking him if he submits. Raven yells "Go To Hell!" The Sinister Minister tells Raven he won't go to hell, he'll bring hell to Raven!"
We see a backstage interview with Scott Hudson interviewing Shane Douglas and The New Church. Mitchell goes on about how much he despises and holds Raven in contempt. He states that tonight Raven will learn real loos and despair and feel glorious pain. Douglas states tonight they will bring the pain to Raven.
Raven's entrance video plays and Dale Oliver's "Scream" hits as Raven and The Gathering hit the ring. They pose at the top of the ramp then hit the ring and the melee erupts as each man targets an opposing member for termination. The Gathering cleans the ring as they stand tall in the ring as Raven challenges The Franchise. Raven starts off against Douglas, but TNC takes umbrage, so Slash starts against Punk. Punk holds his own for a while but is double teamed by TNC, but a misfire by Slash, gave Punk the chance to tag in Julio who cleans house against TNC and he gets a 2 on Slash which is interrupted by Killdozer Brian Lee. Slash gets a pin by Julio, but Raven breaks it up at 2. Douglas comes in and takes on Julio and Lee and Douglas exchange quick tags to get Punk and Raven infuriated so they can further deconstruct and cut off Julio from The Gathering. Slash tries a Senton Splash on Julio and Julio ducks and the opprtunity comes for a hot tag and Raven and Douglas come in as Raven unloads on TNC and Douglas with all his signature moves. Raven and Douglas go into the crowd through the back where Raven explodes and clocks Douglas. Someone in a white outfit comes in from the back cackling and grabs Raven at Douglas' command and takes Raven out of the match as Punk is left alone in the ring against Douglas and The Disciples of The New Church.
Slash gets a table from the under the ring as they prepare to destroy what's left of The Gathering. Raven is then seen crawling from the black, covered in blood trying to make his way back into the ring. Meanwhile, Slash has set the table up at ringside as TNC prepare to destroy Punk. Raven comes in and is grabbed by TNC as they plan to put him through the table. Raven powers out elbows both TNC members and superkicks The Franchise. Raven hits a double bulldog on Slash and Douglas, then hits Slash with The Raven Effect. Raven then hits the Evenflow on Brian Lee and goes to spike Shane Douglas with The Evenflow but Sinister Minister stops Raven. Raven grabs Mitchell, which allows Douglas the chance to gore Raven through the table. Minister grabs the ref and Douglas rolls Raven over for the pin.
WINNERS: Shane Douglas & The New Church via Pinfall.

At the end of the show, Raven, Punk and Julio are up in Raven's Nest, bloody and battered. Raven grabs a microphone to address Douglas and The New Church:
"You want to give me four drop toe holds on a chair last week? You want to bounce me off of a table like a pinball? I'm just getting warmed up. Next week, 6 way, House of Orange -- Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match. I'm so excited I can't even pronounce it correctly. First time ever, six men at a time in a match I invented, in a match I perfected, in a match you won't be returning from. So it is written, so it shall come to pass. Quote the Raven ... nevermore!"

Pre-match, CM Punk cut his usual "I'm straight edge, and I'm better than you" speech, then trashed Danny Doring sitting in the crowd, saying he was a nobody because it was Raven who had trained him. The match was a hardcore ECW-style brawl. At the finish, after a ref bump, Colt Cabana hit the ring and hit Raven with a chair on Punk's behalf. Doring jumped the rail and brawled to the back with Cabana. In the middle of the chaos, Punk scored the pin.
Post-match, Punk taped Raven's arms to the ring ropes in a "crucifix" pose, and mocked Raven going to rehab, by pouring beer down his throat, saying he was going to send Raven to hell and force him "off the wagon."
At this, Tommy Dreamer hit the ring and DDT'd Punk to a thunderouse "ECW" chant. Dreamer taped Punk to the ropes and freed Raven. Raven and Dreamer embraced Dreamer and Raven forced Punk to drink beer (to violate his "staright edge" status) before celebrating in front of a loud crowd. Dreamer and Raven embraced and Raven got on the microphone to mock CM Punk's confession of his father being an alcoholic by imitating Darth Vader with "Luke ... I am your father!" Raven and Dreamer left to Dreamer's ECW theme "Man in the Box".
