Vince walks out very slowly as the face WWE Divas look on, confused. The Divass clear the ring, as Vince takes center ring with a microphone. He says last week, he was to celebrate one of his greatest creations, but instead he was beaten and humiliated. As he lay unconcious, the rest of the company celebrated. He doesn't know how anyone could celebrate, and questions why they enjoyed his anguish. He says he's not a monster. His feelings have been hurt, and we've broken his heart. He's a human being, too. Vince looks like he's about to cry, but Jeff Hardy's music hits!
Jeff grabs the mic from Vince and says he wants to explain it. Next week, he'll be in Iraq - and the people celebrated when Saddam fell. Jeff asks him if that sounds familiar? Hardy says they don't want to hate him, but they don't give him a choice. Vince doesn't give a damn about anyone, so nobody gives a damn about him. Vince goes to the corner of the ring and sits down, starting to cry as Raw goes to commercial. Beyond weird... and NOT entertaining.
Vince is still in the ring, with Regal and the refs telling him it's time to go. Hardy appears to be gone. Vince is still pouting.
Triple H's music hits, with Vince cowering in the corner still. The Game picks up the mic and tells Regal to let him handle this, because he's the closest thing Vince has left as "family." Triple H starts trying to get Vince's attention, and then tells the crowd to mark the time, because Vince has officially flipped. HHH tells him to get up and leave, but he doesnt. Triple H says he knows what Vince wants, and he'll be the bigger man. The Game apologizes for ruining the family portrait and all the other things from last week saying "my bad." HHH says "for the love of God, get out of the ring before they cancel the show." Regal comes in and says he's got a better idea. He orders HHH to show compassion and leave the ring, or he'll get security to throw him out of the building.
Vince gets back to his feet with Regal's help, as Triple H looks on. Vince grabs the mic from Triple H and says he's got a better idea. He tells Regal to get Coach, but don't bother getting security. Vince says tonight, it's Regal and Coach against HHH, and he hopes something bad happens. He hopes something bad happens to each and every one of the fans.
Triple H v. Regal and Coach
HHH takes out Coach first, and Regal then gets a few punches followed by a knee lift, sending him out of the ring. HHH puts Regal into the announce table, and then knocks Coach down again. Regal gets behind HHH and sends him into the stairs, and then into the ring, kicking the Game against the ringpost head first (ouch.) Regal gets back in the ring and holds HHH while Coach punches him. Regal hammers big left hands against Triple H, and puts him in a corner, only to be met with the waiting boots of the Game. HHH takes over again, hits a facebuster on Regal, and then grabs Coach. Regal goes to his coat on the outside and grabs brass knuckles, but walks right into a spinebuster as soon as he gets back in the ring.
Coach grabs the brass knuckles, but Triple H walks up to him and sees him with them on. Coach gives them to Triple H, who hits Coach with them on top of the head playfully, but kicks him and then gives him the pedigree. This one is over.
Winner: Triple H
Cody and Holly v. Cade and Murdoch
Cade starts off against Rhodes, and tags in Murdoch. They go back and forth until Cody tags in Holly who takes control. Holly nearly gets an Alabama Slam off, but Cade interferes and they get a double-team move off. Murdoch tags in Cade officially, who gets a 2 count, but tags in Murdoch again for their Cade/Murdoch lifting leg drop. Murdoch charges Holly only to get hit with a dropkick. Holly tags in Cody, Murdoch reaches Cade, but Cody gets an advantage and the pace goes quickly until Cody gets a bulldog and a 2 count. Murdoch once more tries to interfere, but Holly meets him and both men brawl to the outside. Cody goes for the DDT, but Cade struggles out of it, only to have Cody whip around once more for the DDT and hit it. Great Match.
Winners: Cody and Holly
Ric Flair comes out and catches us up on his storyline. He says the Naitch doesn't get hurt. He's been in the business for 35 years, and he loves this business and being the Nature Boy. He's sacrificed a lifetime to be who he is, and walking away is not an option. His entire family has sacrifice, as he's been the most selfish man alive trying to be Ric Flair. He then talks about his old friends and new friends, mentioning everyone from Steamboat to Batista. Now, it's up to him to give us what we believe; he's got to be the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
Tonight he's got the bulldozer in front of him, and if he loses, it's all over. He promises when he walks away, he's going to be the best he's can. He has to be the man... and he will not get beat without the fight of his life. He follows it up with a great quote: "If I lose tonight, thank you."
Ric Flair v. Umaga
Umaga charges, but Flair moves and starts delivering chops. Umaga feels none of it, tosses Flair away, and then into the turnbuckle. Afterwards, there is a bonzai drop by Umaga followed by a series of headbutts and kicks to Flair's shoulder and head. A big splash by Umaga gets a 2 count. Umaga locks in the nerve hold of doom. Flair stands up but is taken down to his knees by the hold. Flair stands up, as Umaga pushes him into the corner and puts him down with a single punch. Umaga pikcs up Flair again, and puts him in the corner, but Flair meets him with an elbow. Unfortunately, Flair walks into a clothesline.
Umaga misses a big splash, so Flair takes advantage with chops, only to get picked up and dropped with a Samoan Drop. Then, a Belly to belly suplex by Umaga earns him a 2 count. Umaga hits 2 more bonzai drops, and then locks in the nerve hold of doom again. Flair gets up and moves to the turnbuckle, but Umaga opens up with a series of punches and chops that send Flair down again. After another headbutt, Umaga gets to the second turnbuckle and goes for a flying headbutt, but Flair moves. The fref begins counting but both men are up at the 6 count. Flair comes up with chops, and then hits a couple of chopblocks to Umaga's legs. Flair goes for the Figure Four, but Umaga kicks him out of it and sends Ric out of the ring.
Umaga follows and sends him into the ringpost head first. Flair falls down seated into the barricade, and Umaga goes for a wrecking ball on the outside, but Flair moves and Umaga smashes through the barricade into the crowd. Flair crawls back into the ring and gets the win via countout.
Winner: Ric Flair
Chris Jericho comes out, sporting a black eye from JBL's attack on him last night at Armageddon. With mic in hand he says that last night he beat Randy Orton, and should be happy, but he beat him by DQ. He says that he had Orton within seconds of tapping out, when this happened. He instructs the "monkeys" who run the A/V stuff to show the tape of JBL attacking Jericho from last night. Jericho says that rather than standing here as champion, he stands here instead with questions.
