Mr. Kennedy kicks off the show in the ring. This Sunday we have the opportunity to make history because we all get to vote for the man who'll face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. Let's look at the candidates. Okey dokey. On one hand, you have Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy, who's like Hilary Clinton, blonde hair, famous last name, but he won't get the job done because, like Hilary, he has no balls. Touche. Then you have Shawn Michaels who talks tough and has an impressive resume, but he lives in the past. Kennedy asks what Shawn has done lately but whatever it is, it's not as impressive as what Kennedy has done ? he's been US Champion and Money in the Bank winner. He has wins over Mysterio, Batista and The Undertaker. Ask not what Mr. Kennedy can do for you, but what the fans can do for Mr. Kennedy. Make no mistake, if elected, he will defeat Randy Orton to become WWE Champion, Mr. Kennedy!

Yo! Jeff Hardy is out in the crowd.

KENNEDY!

Hardy says by standing out here in the fans, he can tell Kennedy sucks. Kennedy says Hardy doesn't want to get into a debate with him. Kennedy says Jeff is out there begging for votes.
