The lights are out. When they come up it’s Regal in the ring. He sets up for ONS. Jeff will face Umaga there. Orton and JBL are on the tron. Regal speaks to them about who they want to face.

Kennedy’s music cuts off any further talk from Regal. He comes out to the ring and gets in Regal’s face. Regal wants to know how many times they will have to do this. There’s always consequences.
Kennedy says he knows, but wants to face Regal in the ring.
Regal says Kennedy’s not his equal. The next person to interrupt him will be fired on the spot because he’s his superior.
Vince’s music cut’s Regal off. Vince comes out looking slightly annoyed.
Kennedy tell Vince he shouldn’t have done that. Kennedy tells Regal to fire him.
Vince says he had given Regal his endorsement, but due to the huge amount of viewer complaints, more than ever in history. Not that Regal cares what they think about him, as Vince doesn’t care. But he does care about the money.
Regal says sometimes you have to take ½ a step back to step forward.
Yes, but it’s about ratings. The ratings go down when Regal’s on the TV and go down further the longer he’s on the air. But Regal wants Kennedy gone, as does Vince. Vince doesn’t like him, but the fans want Regal gone. Tonight it will be Regal against Kennedy. The loser will be gone! FIRED! Vince leaves the ring. Kennedy and Regal glare at each other.

Sal says it’s Piper’s ability to back up his words. He is not the Tag Champ, did not beat Austin and didn’t sleep with Maria. He says he spoke with Maria and Santino is hung like a 4th grader.
Santino says 4th graders mature early these days. But, Sal is there to apologize to Santino. He has an ‘I’m sorry’ cake. If he doesn’t the cake will find it’s way to his face. Sal says he’s glad to see Santino spelled it right.
