In the arena:
The music of Vince McMahon hit in the arena as he strutted down to the ring looking mighty pleased with himself. McMahon got on the mic and said he guaranteed last week on RAW that Shawn Michaels luck was going to run out at the Rumble, and boy did it ever run out! We are taken to footage from last night when Vince distracted Michaels and then Shane McMahon came in behind Michaels and eliminated him! Vince said to give it up for his boy, Shane-O-Mac! He said that is a prime example of her zero tolerance policy in effect! He said he has to admit that he abused his power, but as the chairman, what’s the sense in having power if he doesn’t abuse it now and again! He could throw everyone out of this building if he wanted to! With that, Shawn Michaels made his way down to the ring, not looking pleased. McMahon called him a son of a bitch and said he comes out and interrupts him, what does he want? Michaels said he wanted to kick McMahon’s teeth down his throat, but he knows if he does, Mr. Zero Tolerance is just going to fire him. McMahon said he would fire him on the spot. Michaels said he could do the good Christian thing and turn the other cheek, just quit, who needs the hassle, but he knows McMahon and he’d sue him for breach of contract. McMahon said he would sue him for every cent he has! Michaels said that leaves him with his third and final option, roll back the clock and give McMahon the HBK of days gone by, drinking, partying, pill popping, that’s who McMahon wants. Michaels said that is popular with some folks, but being popular is not his concern and he loves his wife and children and that is never going to happen! McMahon said Michaels is screwed then, way worse than Bret Hart ever was.
McMahon said if he wanted to abuse his power, he’d fire Michaels right on the spot, but he considers himself a good business man. Michaels said McMahon is a business man, and it’s the business man in him that he wants to appeal to. Michaels said right here, in this very ring, one on one, Vince McMahon and the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. McMahon said how dare he challenge him, and Michaels said to wait a minute and laughed that McMahon wasn’t sure. He said why is McMahon having to think about this? C’mon, you’re Vincent Kennedy McMahon; you’ve got more money than god! Don’t you walk around with the king size grapefruits; don’t tell me they are all shrivelled up! Michaels said surely McMahon can’t be afraid of little old him. McMahon said he’s not afraid, he’s not afraid of any man alive. McMahon said no chance in hell about the match. He asked Michaels who the hell he thinks he is, and if he gets in the ring again, it will be on his terms. He said all Michaels has done is piss him off, and he’s going to allow Michaels to do something never done in the history of RAW, commit career suicide, and all he has to do is hit him. McMahon begged Michaels to hit him, and Michaels dropped the mic and looked like he was going to do it. McMahon got in his face and took off his jacket, and put both hands behind his back. McMahon got on his knees and then Shane McMahon came from behind and nailed Michaels with a steel chair! Shane helped his father up and the McMahon’s have set up Michaels again! Vince put his jacket back on as the fans chanted “asshole” towards the two of them.
During the break:
Vince and Shane are shown backstage and Grisham comes up asking Shane why he did it. He said it’s all about respect. Bret Hart learned the lesson, Stone Cold learned the lesson and now so has Shawn Michaels.

He said even Eddie Guerrero couldn’t pull something off this big; this had to come from somewhere higher than Eddie Guerrero. He said his shot at WrestleMania is gone.

Mickie said not only did she beat Ashley, but she finally got to profess her love to Trish Stratus, and she has proved that she loves her too, so she wants to bring out the greatest Women’s Champion ever, Trish Stratus! The ring is all decked out, and balloons and confetti fell from the rafters as Trish got in the ring. Trish said that she didn’t come down here to take part in the celebration, although the balloons were a nice touch. She said she’s down here to set the record straight. Mickie said she has arranged a special celebration, and then introduced the Spirit Squad! They came out to the stage and they do a Trish chant. They do another one saying she loves you, and other crap. What in the world? Mickie said she can’t tell her how happy she has made her, and she always wanted to be just like her. Trish went to speak but then Ashley’s music hit!
Ashley jogged down to the ring and took a mic from Trish. Ashley said to Trish if she isn’t going to put Mickie in her place, then she will do it for her. Ashley said Trish doesn’t love Mickie, and she thinks exactly what everyone here thinks, Mickie James is a psycho! Mickie started to cry and Ashley asked the crowd if she was a psycho and they cheered. They chanted “She’s a psycho” at Mickie as she started bawling. Mickie asked Trish if this is how she really feels, and Trish says that Mickie is a special woman. Mickie said to forget it and she doesn’t want to bother Trish ever again! Mickie went to leave but then came back in and speared Ashley! The two go at it and Trish pulled Ashley off and then Ashley went back over and walked into a spin kick! Trish didn’t know what to do and Mickie said she knew Trish cared about her and she’s the greatest ever! Mickie made her way to the back happy as Trish checked on Ashley.
