-Todd Grisham is with Shawn Michaels. He asks Shawn about the match tonight and his relationship with JBL. Shawn says he's Mr. Wrestlemania, and when it comes to Wrestlemania he's concerned with only one thing, and thats stealing the show. What that has to do with a match on RAW to get a title shot at Royal Rumble I'm not sure, but it sounded good.

-Kelly Kelly reveals Randy Orton as her lover. She says she protected him from Kane and he won't even return her calls. Randy says it was just one night and it wasn't even that memorable. He calls her pathetic and says he doesn't need a distraction like her. Ouch!
