Quote:

We See Shawn Michaels walk into Edge backstage. Michaels attempts to continue walking forward, but Edge grabs his shoulder and pulls him back, in an attempt to try to get him to apologize. Edge stares at him, and puts his hands up trying to motion Shawn into what he wants. Michaels continues to stare blankly into Edge's eyes, as Edge starts to talk.
Edge: I don't like you Michaels. You're an impolite... selfish... JERK ! You don't care about anybody else in this room, in this building, you only want to better yourself, some could say we're alot alike, but I like to think that I'm way better then you Michaels. You see, I do care about others, and tonight, when I step into the ring, you'll see that the fans are Cheering for ME ! Not you.
Edge then walks away. Shawn Michaels then continues walking while Muttering something under his breath
Shawn Michaels: Dumbass.
Michaels then turns back, like he has something to say.
Shawn Michaels: You know what Edge ? You say that I'm Impolite, Selfish, and a Jerk ? It's easy to call names, but can you back it up in the ring ? It seems that everytime you hold a Championship belt, your ego swells up so much more than it should, and then you begin to belittle others. So just walk away Edge, I'll show you what the Showstopper...
Michaels takes a brief pause
Shawn Michaels: What the Heartbreak Kid, What MR WRESTLEMANIA HIMSELF CAN DO !!!
Edge turns back
Edge: Shawn, I'll see you in the ring tonight, and let's all hope that you don't hide behind Rey Mysterio tonight, because I want you, to step right in and fight me. We'll see who's really deserving of stepping into the Elimination Chamber next week.

Big Show quickly takes the center of the ring and takes a swing at the Great Khali. Khali moves forward and takes another massive right hand from the Big Show. Khali is now down on the ground.

Khali starts letting loose with a flurry of punches and Big Show goes over the top rope. Khali now exits onto the ring apron, but just as he does Big Show gets up and pulls him down, dropping the back of Khali's head onto the apron. Khali is holding his head as Big Show begins to throw kicks to the face of Khali. The referee is counting, and Big Show enters the ring, and Khali follows as the referee hits 6. Khali throws a punch and Big Show counters it into a Spinebuster. Khali reaches for the ropes, trying to pull himself to his feet, but Big Show runs for a punt kick to the face, but gets his foot stuck in the ropes, and Khali goes for his patented Vice Grip.

Michael Cole: I'm here with my guest tonight, Rey Mysterio. Hello Rey, How's it going, Como Estas ?
Rey Mysterio: Esta Bien, It's going good Mike.
Michael Cole: Glad to hear it. So, you've got a match with Edge and Cody Rhodes tonight, with the Legendary Shawn Michaels on your team. How does that feel.
Rey Mysterio: Shawn Michaels is a good friend of mine, and It's an honor to work with him and being on the same team as him is an honor so big that it's almost too hard to explain. I cannot wait for tonight's match.
Michael Cole: Well, No doubt Shawn is a legend, but you was what Edge said about Shawn Michaels earlier tonight, how does that make you feel ?
Rey Mysterio: I can't understand what would make Edge say something like that. Shawn Michaels has been in some of the best matches in WWE history, he's been here since 1988. Over 20 Years, and to have somebody like Edge disrespect him. I want Edge to be able to feel the pain and suffering, that Shawn Michaels has felt, after working 21 years with the WWE. I want Edge's Back, His Neck, His Arms His Legs, His EVERYTHING, to be in pain after tonight's match. I want him, to suffer.
Michael Cole: Those are some strong words Rey, and Cody Rhodes, what about him ?
Rey Mysterio: Cody Rhodes has done nothing to me, nor Shawn Michaels, but his work with that Snake Randy Orton, and for him to team up with Edge tonight sickens me. I want Cody Rhodes to lose tonight's match-up, but not nearly in the same way that I want Edge to lose it.
Michael Cole: Well Rey, I can't wait to watch the match, see you later Rey.
Rey Mysterio: You Too Mike, you too.

Ted DiBiase Jr: People of the WWE Universe. I have something to say. I'm the best in the WWE today, and if anybody doesn't believe me, I'll prove it. I'll be the one going to the Elimination Chamber, and Cody Rhodes will be joining me.
The Crowd begins to boo DiBiase
Ted DiBiase Jr: Now as you may have noticed, there was a recent draft, and Me and Cody were seperated from Randy Orton. At first we were upset, but we then realized, now the Legacy will dominate 2 different shows. But don't get me wrong, the Legacy will soon be reunited and we'll be better than ever. I'll be taking on the Boogeyman later tonight and...
The Boogeyman: I'm the Boogeyman ! And Ted DiBiase, you're going to fight me RIGHT NOW !!!

Michael Cole: I don't know, but It's coming up right after this match between Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin.
Quote:
Jeff Hardy is almost instantly in the center of the ring, and Shelton is not much slower, as they are almost instantly ready to engage. Hardy quickly grabs ahold of Shelton, and hits a nice arm drag. Shelton gets to his feet rather quickly and hits a nice flying clothesline. Hardy takes it right on the chin, and flips right over Shelton's arm. Shelton climbs the top rope and prepares to jump down, but just as he does Hardy gets to his feet and hits an enziguiri, dropping Benjamin off the top rope and into the ring, face first. Hardy runs to the ropes and hits a springboard body press and goes for the pin. Rope break, the referee seperates them and stands them up. Shelton throws a punch, and follows it up with a rope rebound lariat. Jeff is now slumped against the ropes, and Shelton is running for a Super Kick, but Jeff dodges and Shelton's foot is now far off of the top rope, and in a split-legged position, Jeff tries to hit his Extreme Twist of Fate, but Shelton blocks it and hits a Judo Toss out of the ring that lands them both on their backs and trying to get up. The referee begins the 10 count. He gets to 6 before both men are already in the ring. Jeff hits a nice dropsault before climbing to the top rope to hit a Swanton Bomb, but Shelton Benjamin counters it into a Paydirt ! Jeff Hardy is now lying on the canvas, out of it, and Shelton tries the pin. 1... 2... KICK OUT ! Incredible kick out from Jeff Hardy. Jeff hits a spinning wheel kick, and a couple stomps, to make sure Shelton is too tired to get up. Hardy climbs up, and hits a beautiful Swanton Bomb, and gets the pinfall.

Jim Ross: Bah Gawd ! That Was Incredible !!!
Michael Cole: You're Telling Me ! Mysterio and Michaels going to the Elimination Chamber, but who will be the Sixth Competitor ?
Quote:

Edge: You're Kidding Me Right ? They Won ? NOBODY BEATS ME !!! I'M THE CHAMPION ! NOBODY BEATS ME ! I Have to go to the Elimination Chamber ! I Can't Lose My Belt Like This ! It's... It's... It's Sabotage, It's Rigged, It's... It's... Aaahhh !
The Crowd begins to laugh at a shocked and annoyed Edge
Edge: STOP LAUGHING !!! IT'S NOT FUNNY ! You Probably go home every night and Play Your Smackdown vs Raw games, Hoping that one day it'll turn out like your game, that Edge will Lose... Well, get your licks and laughs in now, because Edge, will not lose again... I Want My Spot In That Chamber !
Jeff Hardy: You Want Your Spot So Bad Edge ? I've got a little proposition for you.
Edge: Get out of Here Jeff ! I don't want your sympathy.
Jeff Hardy: Fine, If you don't want a spot in the Elimination Chamber, I'll just leave...
A Glimmer of hope appears in the eyes of Edge
Edge: Wait... What ?
Jeff Hardy: I've Just Spoken to the new commish, he gave me the rights to offer this to you. Next week, on RAW, you and me, One on One, in a Falls Count Anywhere match. If you win, You get a spot in the Elimination Chamber, If I win, I get your WWE Championship going into No Way Out.
Edge: My Title vs A Spot In The Elimination Chamber ? You're Out of your Mind Jeff.
Jeff Hardy: Think about, you win, You're Happy. I Win, I'm Happy, either way, I don't want to see you in the Elimination Chamber, You don't want me to have your title, so why not try to defend it the fair way, instead of being a chicken and trying to hide behind a wall of trash talk. You're delaying the inevitable Edge, you're not going to have that title for long, so why not try to keep it with you, instead of taking the cowards way out...
Jeff Begins to walk up the ramp and out of the arena.
Edge: I'll do it.
Jeff Hardy: Glad to hear it, and by the way, here's the man who gave me the authorization to offer you this.
Vinnie Jones: Hello Edge, You'll be seeing alot of me in the future, as I'm sure you'll have more than one complaint to make. Either way, enjoy your time as champion, take pictures, remember the good old days, as this time two weeks from now, chances are you won't be holding it in your arms anymore...
