-Punk moves onto the finals to face the winner of Kofi vs. Rey.
-We get a video package of Chris Jericho, Rand Orton, Cody Rhodes and Manu?Manu beating down John Cena.
-Todd is with John Cena now. Cena says Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. These are words that Chris Jericho doesn't think exist. When Cena was home with a broken neck, his dog became a huge fan of Jericho. He would lick himself when he saw Jericho, so he banned his dog from watching Raw. It is ridiculous. Cena is sorry about Jericho's son, but maybe his son was acting like him because he saw his father become a punk that needs his teeth get kicked in. If Jericho had gotten the beat down last week, he would be calling for Cena's suspension and for him to be stripped of the title. Cena won't do that, that's not how he handles business. Tonight he WILL fight Chris Jericho. He won't be sneaky about it either, because he is coming to get him. Hustle, Loyalty, Respect is the code that he lives by, and tonight Jericho gets a lesson in respect.

Hell, he beat all of he nominees. Tonight is the same as always, a lack of respect for Randy Orton. It all goes back to Evolution. The group imploded due to HHH ad Batista's ego, they turned on him for becoming the youngest world champion ever. Tonight HHH and Batista face off tonight, men he has defeated. But he has a better idea. Cody Rhodes, Manu and himself are challenging HHH and Batista to a handicap match tonight. Tonight, the legacy is born.
