“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…”
We open with a recap of last night's extravaganza, a show that left many people underwhelmed. Indeed, WWE's video production does a good job of making the event seem more spectacular than it really was. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler are at ringside as usual.
We're in the Toyota Center, Houston, Texas and kicking things off with Randy Orton, sporting the battle scars of last night's WWE Championship match with Triple H. The fans are all over Orton as he grabs a microphone. He doesn't know what's more sickening, the fact that Triple H had to use the hammer to beat him last night, or the fact that the people enjoyed every second of it. It's good that they have a moment of happiness in their otherwise miserable lives. But the fact is, last night proved nothing. Triple H can't beat Orton on his own and Orton will have his rematch. The McMahon family owe it to him, as does the company and the fans. And when he gets his rematch, he will beat Triple H and take his rightful place as WWE Champion, and may God help the McMahons if they decide to get in his way again. Very audible "Orton" chants from the Houston crowd. Orton brags about his assaults on the McMahons and asks what's next, saying he hasn't seen Linda in a while, she'd be glad to see him. Or maybe he'll introduce himself to the McMahon family grandchildren.
Vince McMahon is out and fuming. Orton bail to floor as Vince enters the ring. Vince tells Orton he'll give him what he wants, a McMahon. Vince is right here. But Vince won't give him another title match, but Orton will get some Backlash. At Backlash, it'll be Orton and Legacy against Triple H, Shane and Vince McMahon! Orton says Vince is hiding behind Triple H and Shane, because Vince is terrified. Vince says Orton's scared because Rhodes and DiBiase aren't out here. Vince calls Orton a failure. Orton wants a one-on-one match with Vince tonight. He doesn't need to Cody and Ted, just like he didn't need them to kick Vince in the skull. Orton guarantees that Vince won't make it to Backlash. Orton will have his Mania moment a day late when he puts Vince down permanently. Vince says maybe Orton will beat the hell out of him, maybe he'll put him in a coma. But then again, maybe he won't. McMahon accepts!
