ECW for June 3rd opened with security removing items from Armando Estrada's office. Armando asked what they were doing, and one of the men said they were told to do it by "the general manager". Armando said he was the general manager, then Theodore R. Long walked in and said "Not anymore, playa. Holla, holla, holla." The ECW opening then aired.
Fatal Four Way with the winner to face ECW Champion Kane later tonight in a non-title match: CM Punk vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. John Morrison.
Clips of the Singapore Cane match from One Night Stand was shown as Dreamer made his entrance. This might have been done so we didn't have to watch Dreamer walk out in his new (ugly) white and red pants. Tazz and Mike Adamle talked about Big Show's injury and whether he would be ready for his match with Kane at Night Of Champions.
Dreamer and Morrison paired off at the bell in one part of the ring while Punk and Chavo went at it in the other. Morrison gave Dreamer a kick to the back, but missed a legdrop and Dreamer hit an arm drag and dropped an elbow. Punk suplexed Chavo onto "Tommy Morrison" (that's what Adamle said). Punk went for a cover on Morrison, but Dreamer pulled him off. Dreamer and Punk slugged it out while Chavo and Morrison brawled. Punk ran over to Chavo and cradled him for a two count. Morrison mounted Dreamer and pounded him. Dreamer clotheslined Morrison to the floor, then hit a clothesline off the ring apron to the floor on him. Chavo gave Dreamer a pescado. Punk hit Chavo with a tope.
Punk tossed Chavo into the ring, but Morrison hit Punk from behind, then pulled out Chavo and dropped him face first on the apron. Morrison tossed Punk into the ring, but Punk hit a jumping knee. Morrison avoided a Punk bulldog and hit him with a springboard kick. Morrison went for the cover on Punk, but Dreamer broke it up. Dreamer and Morrison went into reversals, with Dreamer ending up applying the Texas Cloverleaf on Morrison. Chavo broke it up and gave Dreamer the Three Amigos. Chavo went to the top rope, but Morrison stopped him and set up for a superplex. Punk jumped on the apron and knocked them down. Morrison fell into the Tree of Woe, while Chavo got hung up in the ropes on the outside of the ring. Dreamer gave Morrison a baseball slide kick. Punk gave Dreamer a springboard clothesline. Chavo pulled himself to the top rope and gave Dreamer a frog splash. Punk grabbed Chavo and gave him the GTS and got the pin at the six minute mark.
Winner: CM Punk
Punk checked on Dreamer, then celebrated with his Money In The Bank briefcase. The announcers noted that Punk had never wrestled Kane before.
Backstage, Theodore R. Long was showing the letter from the WWE Board Of Directors that made him the new ECW General Manager. He said Armando couldn't be an active member of the roster and General Manager at the same time. Long also said he felt Armando was overpaid. Armando asked Long to "work with him" and Long said he had a match for him tonight. Armando asked who his opponent was, and Long said he had brought over Smackdown's U.S. Champion, Matt Hardy, to face him tonight.
Kofi Kingston joined the announcers for the next match.
Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Sydal.
The replayed Benjamin attacking Kofi last week during the introductions. Benjamin gave Sydal a pumphandle slam at the start, then choked him against the ropes. Sydal came back with a enzugiri, hurricanrana and a double flying knee to the chest form the top rope for a two count. Benjamin kicked out and hit a flapjack, then brutalized Sydal, including a press slam into a gutbuster. Benjamin flipped Sydal into the corner, then dragged him out and put him in an overhead wristlock. Sydal fought up, but Benjamin hit him with a clothesline. Benjamin tossed Sydal out of the ring, right in front of Kingston. Benjamin came out of the ring and argued with Kofi. Benjamin picked up Sydal for a powerbomb on the floor, then turned and threw him into Kofi instead. Benjamin rolled into the ring as Sydal was counted out at the four minute mark.
Winner via countout: Shelton Benjamin.
Kofi got up and dove into the ring to attack Benjamin. They brawled to the floor, and Adamle said that stupid "Yamakin' me crazy" line. Kofi went to whip Shelton into the steps, but Shelton reversed it and sent Kofi hard into the ringsteps. Benjamin walked off while Kofi clutched at his shoulder.
United States Champion Matt Hardy vs. Armando Estrada.
Armando went for a kick at the bell, but Hardy caught it and gave Armando a clothesline. They traded shots, with Hardy getting the better of it. Matt slammed Estrada, then hit a second rope elbowdrop to the back of the head. Matt hit the Twist Of Fate and got the pin in about a minute.
Winner: Matt Hardy.

Colin Delaney vs. Armando Estrada.
Colin rolled up Estrada in La Magistral before the bell even rang. It rang, and Armando kicked out at two.

Armando's feet hit the ropes, and Delaney grabbed the pants of Estrada, but the referee counted three anyway, ending this match even quicker than the last one.
Winner: Colin Delaney.
Matt Hardy got in the ring to raise the hand of Colin Delaney as Estrada rolled to the floor.
After the break, Armando was begging Theodore R. Long to not fire him. Long noted that he lost two straight matches.

Long said he could remain as a wrestler in ECW, but he would not be under contract any longer. Long said Armando had to earn his contract, just like Colin Delaney did. Long left, but said he had one more word for Armando. Armando turned, and Ron Simmons was standing there. "Damn!"
