We are taken back to last night’s World Heavyweight Championship match where Kane attacked Batista and CM Punk, we cut to the production truck where Batista was watching the footage from last night, he then leaves the truck.
Michael Cole and The King are your hosts.
Batista comes to the ring, he says he planned on being the new World Heavyweight Champion by tonight, he says seen as in there are no McMahon’s here tonight, he is putting himself in charge, he says tonight Punk will defend the title against himself. He then tells Kane if he has a problem with him, Kane should find him, before Batista finds Kane.
JBL is on the tron. He says Batista is in charge of nothing. He lost last night and he doesn't care who ran down and interfered. JBL is special. He walked out of the NYC victorious, so he is the entitled to the next world title opportunity. Batista tells him to come out so they can discuss this. JBL doesn't answer to Batista; he is the boss and he is in charge. His body doesn't feel like a world title match tonight, but Batista won't get one either. Tonight, JBL finishes off Cena. JBL tells Batista to go and find Kane.
CM Punk is here! Punk says this is the law of the jungle, and becomes he is champ, that makes him king. He doesn't have to listen to JBL. Punk says Kane screwed stuff up for him too because he wants to prove that he can beat Batista. So instead of talking about it, let's do it until we get it right. The title match is on! JBL says he is in charge. Batista says to shut him up, and the sound goes off. Batista says we're on.
Shawn Michaels is here! Oh, but really, it's Lance Cade with new music. Cade knows that Shawn is here tonight, and invites him to come out here. But if he does, they will have words that they should have had a long time ago. Paul London is out.
Paul London vs. Lance Cade
London goes behind and grabs a waistlock, then fires off with forearms as we get a loud "Let's go London!" chant. London misses a crossbody and Cade hits a backbreaker, then drives a knee into the back. Cade hits another backbreaker now and stretches London across the knee. London fights out of it with rights and knees to the head, but Cade whips him to the corner. London comes back with a springboard crossbody for 2, but then runs into a big shoulder tackle. Cade tosses London gut-first into the ringpost, drags him back to the middle and pulls London up. Sit-out spinebuster finishes.
