We start off tonight’s show with a look back at last week’s Raw when Vince McMahon and Donald Trump agreed to put their hair on the line at Wrestlemania.

Vince says that it is officially on and he cannot believe that it is going to happen. Vince mentions the Battle of the Billionaires with him and Donald Trump. In forty-one days, Donald Trump steps into his yard, his house, his greatest creation . . . Wrestlemania.

Then he is going to drag Donald into the chair and strap him down. Vince says that he is going to slap Donald back into consciousness. At that point, Donald Trump will be begging him not to cut his hair and embarrass him. Vince is going to look at Trump and say that is too damn bad. Then he is going to take the scissors and embarrass the hell out of him like he has never been embarrassed before. The only solace that Trump can take is that baldness is in vogue now. Vince mentions Britney Spears and we see a ‘before’ and ‘after’ photo. Vince says that Trump says that he will look grotesque. We see a photo of Trump on the Titantron. Vince says that he can do anything he wants. Vince says that they will be calling Donald ‘Mr. T’ and we see Trump with a mohawk. What about a flat top? What about dreadlocks? What about the ‘brother’ hairdo and we see Trump with Hulk Hogan’s hairstyle. Then we see what Trump might look like if he was bald. Vince says that he is confident because he knows that his representative is going to win. Vince says that he is waiting on Trump’s representative. Vince says that his man is indestructible and unstoppable. His man is Umaga.
Umaga and Armando Alejandro Estrada come to the ring. Estrada tells Vince that it is going to be an honor for the Samoan bulldozer to decimate Trump’s representative at Wrestlemania. Vince says that his man will be the Intercontinental Champion tonight and it will happen right now.
We go to commercial with Vince and Hardy staring each other down.
