~SHANE ANSWERS ORTON~
Randy Orton is in the ring and demands to hear an answer since Shane and Stephanie are here. His health was in danger last week due to Adamle, and then he was slapped. Either Adamle goes or he goes.
Shane McMahon makes his way to the ring. SHANE-O-MAC DANCE-A-RAMMA~! Shane then says he doesn't appreciate the aggressive tones or threats. Orton demands an answer and says if Vince was here, it wouldn't be an issue. Shane says he is not his father, but Orton should respect the position Shane holds in the company.
Mike Adamle now makes his way to the ring. Adamle says before Shane continues he has to say something. Since the beginning of Raw, the person in charge has had an agenda. Some good and some bad. He wanted to be different and remain neutral. He didn't want to take a side, and that is what made him special. Unfortunately?you ready? I won't let it happen to me. He is getting emotional. Last week he let Orton get the best of him and he slapped Orton. He became the very thing he didn't want to be. This job corrupts, and he doesn't want to let that happen to him. That is why? that is why as of right now, he is resigning as the GM of Raw. He thanks Shane and Steph for the chance and leaves.
Orton then says he is owed an apology, and Shane says to back off and that HE owes Adamle an apology. Shane says he didn't excuse him yet, and he says Orton has had an excuse with his shoulder. But watching him at Cyber Sunday, he looks in great shape. Shane talked to Orton's doctor and apparently he has been cleared to compete for weeks. Orton was going to get around to it, and when he mentions Survivor Series, Shane changes the tune to tonight. Shane couldn't deny the fans to watch Raw's Greatest Commodity in action. Orton will compete in this ring tonight. Orton would love too, but he isn't prepared and doesn't have any gear. Shane says he has taken care of everything. Orton will face a man he is familiar with, the man who you kicked in the head and cost him the title. Orton will face CM Punk tonight.

He was watching ECW last week, and saw Miz and Morrison mocking them. He has HHH watch the tron and we see the video of the mockery. They do the "shocked" faces and HBK says that could have been them. They dressed up guys to look like us, and then beat them up. That's innovative, and stuff. HBK then mocks the size of HHH's nose. He said he never realized how gigantic it was. HHH says the camera adds 10lbs, and HBK asks how many cameras are on it. HBK then says they mocked the chaps, and he has put up with a lot. You can punch his wife in the face, but when you mock the chaps, that's where he draws the line. HHH then says there is no reason to mock HBK for losing his hair. HBK places his hat on and says he didn't recall that part. HHH says he just assumed, and HBK says to NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN! HHH says they were in high school when they started. When they revolutionized the industry, they were, well? We get a high school picture of the Miz, senior class picture. HHH says he looks like a horse, and then says no offense to Lillian. We see Morrison and HHH makes the gay joke, and says they got beat up every day in high school, and tonight will be no different. So Shawn, ARE YOU READY? He's ready! Miz, are you ready? We see N Mercy 2006 when the big fat naked oily guy danced on a blind folded Miz. HBK is sick now. For the thousands in attendance, million around the world and for Miz and Morrison, because they have a dream, not to be in the ring with DX, but a dream to enjoy the same rights as any other couple in the US, the right to be able to marry and have a family, for Miz and Morrison, let's get ready to suck it.
