-Mickie James and Cody Rhodes are in the back. Mickie is complaining about the blizzard. Me too dear. Cody doesn't even know why they have to be in Iowa. Manu and Sim Snuka interrupt. They're angry that Rhodes betrayed them. Cody asks why they're taking this so personally, and if they were in his shoes they'd have done the same thing. Manu tells him they're taking Orton tonight and he's either with them or against them. He says they brought back up. Another second generation star who feels the same way they do.
-Todd Grisham meets up with William Regal. He says he's satisfied this challenge is over. Stephanie interrupts and says she's not satisfied. Since they're even up one and one they'll meet next week in a no DQ match. Wow, didn't see that coming.
-Stone Cold Steve Austin is announced as the first inductee of the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame. A great video tribute to him is shown. Next to Hogan there is not a single man who is more deserving of a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. A perfect choice to headline the class at a Texas Wrestlemania.
-JBL asks Shawn what he thinks, is Steph going to still be in charge when they get to Wrestlemania. He mentions Jericho getting fired, but tells Shawn not to worry about him because he took care of his money. He tells Shawn he can't lose tonight with him is corner. Shawn tells JBL that if this is his Wrestlemania he won't need JBL in his corner to beat Cena. What about Wrestlemania 23? He says he's going to prove once again why he's the headliner, the showstopper, and the main event.
-More Vince hype is shown. Its a "you're fired" montage. In what I'm sure was simply a coincidence the first two guys shown being fired are Kurt Angle and Mick Foley. Completely by chance I'm sure.
-Mike Knox vs. Rey Mysterio is announced for next week.
