Hardy went for the Twist of Fate on Mercury but he countered and Nitro nailed a big boot. MNM took down Hardy with a double flapjack and he tagged in Tatanka.

<B>United States Championship Match Referee: Charles Robinson Chris Benoit vs. Booker T (c)</B>

The music of Chris Benoit hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring for his shot at the United States Championship after being screwed out of the Best of Seven Series by the current champion, Booker T, who helped Randy Orton win the title on his behalf. Booker T then made his way to the ring with Sharmell, and he claims he is not 100% here tonight. Booker got on the mic and said before they ring the bell, he has made up his mind. There will not be a United States Championship match tonight. Booker called Long out and said he can beat Benoit any day of the week when hes healthy, but tonight he isnt healthy.

Long made his way down to the ring and Booker said were going to make this official. Booker said he is going to forfeit the United States Championship. Booker asked if Benoit was happy now? Booker went to walk out, and then stopped. Booker turned around and then got out onto the apron and started to leave. Benoit started to chant coward on the mic and the crowd followed suit. Benoit said there is no way in hell hes going to accept the title by forfeit and to get his ass back in the ring and take his beating like a man. Sharmell got on the mic and said this is all Benoits fault and slapped him. Sharmell said Booker is more of a man than he will ever be, and that title means everything to him. Booker then hit the ring and nailed Benoit from behind and we are underway.

Benoit followed out and hit some chops before sending Booker back inside. Booker took control with a kick to the ribs and went for a suplex but Benoit blocked and hit a snap suplex of his own.
