Kennedy and Randy Orton are talking backstage, Finlay comes up. Finlay says they're all partners tonight. Booker shows up. Kennedy and Orton walk away. Booker asks what's going on. Finlay says they were saying some bad stuff about Booker. Booker never trusted those two, but he's always trusted Finlay. Tonight, they should watch each other's back. Finlay says it's a good idea, except, Booker can't trust him either.

On the Titan Tron, Vince is in Stamford, Lashley is in Grand Rapids. Vince says he'll feel much better after Wrestlemania 23. He's been 'partying down' and having a celebration after last night. He said it wasn't difficult pinning Bobby 1-2-3 last night. He's a great athlete, but he was against someone of Vince's physical prowess, and he should be glad he didn't take off his shirt. Because then Vince would have shown him what a real man looked like. Vince then proceeded to stroke his own ego for a minute or so. He can't wait to see Umaga come down off the rope and 'splat' on Bobby, and watch him let everyone down. After Wrestlemania, Vincent Kennedy McMahon will still have his hair, and Bobby Lashley will be an irritant. His future is bleak. Bobby needs to be happy Vince isn't there tonight, or he'd have to beat the hell out of him. Lashley tells Vince to listen to him, and calls him an old bastard. After Wrestlemania he'll be one bald headed son-of-a-bitch.

He said in 22 years, he never had the honor of ever performing in front of that many people in his life. He said somewhere in the dark recesses of the upper deck, he would be plopping his ass in a seat and would stand up and chant ECW with everyone in the stadium. He chanted ECW with the crowd and then left the ring, while Styles and Tazz put over his now embracing his ECW past.
