Winner: Dave Batista via pinfall. **3/4. They were aiming for epic but thanks to Dave's timing issues and Jericho's looseness it didn't quite get there. Still a good little matchup for free TV though.

POST MATCH out comes Shawn Michaels. Dave looks suitably angry.

BACKSTAGE William Regal wants a word with Vince McMahon. Vince points out Regal can beat Kennedy. TED DIBIASE interupts. Vince kicks Regal out of his own office to have a private conversation with Ted about money.

PIPER'S PIT

"Roddy Piper" is actually Santino Marella doing a pretty accurate impression complete with a pillow up his shirt to simulate Piper's gut. He's got the mannerisms down. "Look at me, I'm Rodney the Piper. I defeated a fat transvestite at Wrestlemania 3". Hahaha. We get the Jimmy Kimmel clip again. I missed Marella's Mr T shirt the first time around. Marella makes fun of Kimmel for humping Ben Affleck and invites out his guest…cousin Sal (Jimmy Kimmel's cousin Sal to be precise). Santino asks him what he liked about Rodney the Piper calling Roddy a failure and a cross-dresser. Sal points out Marella never backs up what he says. "You said you'd beat up Steve Austin". "It was a draw". Sal says Maria told him Santino was "hung like a 4th grader". "DAMN" – Ron Simmons. "4th graders nowadays are maturing very quickly" – Santino. He wants an apology or he'll throw a cake at Cousin Sal's face. This brings out RODDY PIPER! He sneaks in on the blindside and admires Santino's attire while Sal shoves the cake in Santino's face. Santino makes a point of touching up Lilian Garcia as he falls out of the ring. He demands a match with Cousin Sal. "You are so big trouble". Roddy accepts on his behalf.

Loser is fired – MR KENNEDY v WILLIAM REGAL

Kennedy gets the mic to say there'll be no more crumpets, no more fish and chips and no more pompous windbag after he beats Regal in this next contest…KENNEDY! Regal gets the upper hand from the lock up but Kennedy comes back making it a slugfest. Kennedy gets a backdrop for 2. Regal bails and sweeps Kennedy's legs on the apron. Back inside Regal throws knees to slow Kennedy down. Regal gets a suplex for 2 before grounding Kennedy with an armlock/chinlock combo. Regal nonchelantly knees Kennedy in the head a few more times. We get another energetic brawl. Kennedy misses with one kick but uses the momentum to carry through into a Hurricane Kick of sorts. Regal has the mic though. He reminds us he's still GM so he's making this match no DQ. He gets brass knuckles from ringside. Kennedy kicks him in the balls though and hits the MIC CHECK for the pin.
