-Victoria heads to the ring with Natalie, or Natalia.
-Victoria gets a mic and introduces us to her new best friend, and diva, Natalia Neidhart. Natalia got a decent pop when it was revealed her last name was Neidhart. She says the name should ring a bell. They run a video package on the Anvil.
-Neidhart gets the mic and says the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She says it isn’t about her father though, it’s about her. When you mess with the best you go down like the rest. She laughs and says yeah baby. If you’ve seen her on the indy scene you know she impersonates her dads laugh and yells yeah baby. Well, the laugh is now more sly, thankfully, and yeah baby is said with more savvy, but she did both.
-Michelle McCool runs in and the match begins.
MICHELLE McCOOL VS. VICTORIA
-Michelle nails Victoria with a clothesline on the outside. Back in the ring Michelle mounts Victoria and nails some punches. Michelle heads up top and Victoria cuts her off with punches then heads up top. Superplex by Victoria!
-Victoria charges McCool in the corner, but gets met with a boot. Michelle hits a neckbreaker then Natalia distracts her. Michelle starts jawing at her and Victoria rolls her up and pulls the tights for the win.
***Victoria gets the victory in 1:50.
-HBK and Batista are next.
-When they come back from Break Michael Cole is in the ring. He hypes the HBK and Batista feud and their match at Backlash. He invites us through the use of video footage to take a look back at how this all started. They show the war of words from Smackdown last week and this week’s Raw. It’s rather lengthy. Special effects galore are used, as expected.
-Cole welcomes out “Smackdown’s own” Batista. He looks like he means business.
***2nd HOUR
-Once the music shuts off and he stands alone in the ring some boo’s rain down on him.
-HBK comes out now to a large pop.
-Batista opens his mouth and says they don’t need a talk show host as Cole gets out the ring. HBK goes off saying everyone has moved on and Flair has closure. The only one still holding on to it all is Batista. Batista’s problem isn’t with what happened to Flair, it’s with him. Batista says HBK is right and it’s not all about Ric. Batista thinks Shawn Michaels hasn’t changed a bit. He mentions that blood doesn’t wash off, it stains. HBK step on people and stabbed them in the back on his rise to the top. Batista tells people what they have coming. HBK goes off saying he didn’t have the luxury of being 6’5, he had to earn his spot and he did whatever he had to, to get it and keep it. He’s going to knock Batista’s teeth out at Backlash. He drops the mic. Batista drops his mic. HBK goes for the superkick, but pulls up on it and puts the leg down. Then they start brawling and Batista gets HBK in position for the Batista Bomb and HBK runs out of the ring.
