Jay Reso Vs CM Punk
Current UK Champion CM Punk was one of the standout wrestlers from the Robo Rumble and he rode that momentum to win a one-night tournament, against all the odds, on Warfare to become the challenger for Jay Reso’s World Title at Shoot Out. Punk says it’s his destiny to become a World Champion, Reso says he’ll be damned if Punk is going to do it as his expense. Can Punk live the dream or will Reso secure his slot in the MuscleMania main event?

WINNER TAKES ALL MATCH;

Matthew Mercy Vs Matt Morgan

Winner gets the Unified World Title Shot at MuscleMania XVI
Matt Morgan was in the Robo Rumble for the longest length of time, but it was Matthew Mercy who won the match, after the referee failed to see Morgan eliminate him and only saw the returning Matthew Mercy throwing Morgan over the top rope. IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff used his powers to set up this Winner Takes All, No Count-Out, No Disqualification match where only one man can survive...and take his place in the MuscleMania main event!

THE FINAL ENCOUNTER:

Abyss Vs Xavier
These two have waged a tumultuous war since Xavier returned to the IWF at Neon Blue back in October. Now, at the behest of Abyss' manager James Mitchell, this match has been signed with no rematch clauses and no turning back. With honours currently all even, this final one-on-one encounter will see a definitive winner of the war. It's one that you simply cannot afford to miss.

The Big Gee & MNM Vs Randy Orton & AMW
This hotly anticipated six man tag team match came about after MNM repeatedly tried to help other teams try to dislodge AMW from the World Tag Team Titles due to the stipulation from Breaking Point that MNM could not get a Title shot again whilst AMW were the champs. Orton & Gee have had their own "differences of opinion", mainly due to Orton attempting to "bed" Riley Mason, the Gee's girlfriend...just days after he attempted to do the same to MNM's manager Melina! This six man affair is sure to be wild!

EUROPEAN TITLE:

Barabus Lashley Vs Kane

These two men were both impressive at the Robo Rumble, (Lashley eliminating 4 men and Kane eliminating 3), before clashing with each other in a titanic collision. Honours were even, as their battle led to both men being eliminated, but now both men meet in this one-on-one battle for the European Title. Two behemoths collide, and there can only be one winner!

Finlay Vs Samoa Joe
Irish legend Finlay has been on a roll recently, but this may be his toughest test yet as he takes on the Submission Machine that is Samoa Joe. Finlay has the momentum, but Joe's loss to Matt Morgan at Corporal Punishment has made him more agressive than ever! Can Finlay keep his impressive winning streak alive, or will Joe bounce back from his previous disappointments? Either way this is likely to be a stiff and brutal fight to the finish.

Umaga Vs Dave Proud
The Robo Rumble saw Umaga make his IWF debut, and Dave Proud make his IWF return. At the Rumble the two men clashed but ultimately Umaga eliminated Proud. Dave was born a fighter though and he challenged the Samoan Wrecking Machine to this one-on-one match. It's not likely to be one for those of a sensitive disposition.

Elijah Burke Vs Chris Benoit
Elijah Burke made an impressive debut at Corporal Punishment, easily dispatching Carlito. However he faces a much stiffer task in his second IWF pay-per-view appearance as he takes on the Rabid Wolverine Chris Benoit. Burke's cocky outlook has rubbed Benoit up the wrong way and he's determined to make Burke tap-out. Burke, on the other hand, is convinced this is just another step on his road to greatness. Who is right?

TAG TEAM GAUNTLET
WINNER IS CROWNED NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES:
Participants;

PLUS:
Dean Roberts & Edge Contract Signing
When Edge revealed himself as Annalise Anderson's new lover, Annalise's soon-to-be-ex-husband Dean Roberts was dragged into a sprial of torment. Edge though he had the last laugh, but Dean promised to make his life "a living hell". Edge thought he was safe from ever having to face Dean in the ring due to Dean losing a retirement match to Matthew Mercy last June, but IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff spotted a legal loopwhole and agreed that the two could meet at MuscleMania XVI in a "Non-Sanctioned" Match. The two sign on the dotted line at Shoot Out!
