We are taken back to last night's World Heavyweight Championship match where Kane attacked Batista and CM Punk, we cut to the production truck where Batista was watching the footage from last night, he then leaves the truck.

Michael Cole and The King are your hosts.

Batista comes to the ring, he says he planned on being the new World Heavyweight Champion by tonight, he says seen as in there are no McMahon's here tonight, he is putting himself in charge, he says tonight Punk will defend the title against himself. He then tells Kane if he has a problem with him, Kane should find him, before Batista finds Kane.

JBL is on the tron. He says Batista is in charge of nothing. He lost last night and he doesn't care who ran down and interfered. JBL is special. He walked out of the NYC victorious, so he is the entitled to the next world title opportunity. Batista tells him to come out so they can discuss this. JBL doesn't answer to Batista; he is the boss and he is in charge. His body doesn't feel like a world title match tonight, but Batista won't get one either. Tonight, JBL finishes off Cena. JBL tells Batista to go and find Kane.

CM Punk is here! Punk says this is the law of the jungle, and becomes he is champ, that makes him king. He doesn't have to listen to JBL. Punk says Kane screwed stuff up for him too because he wants to prove that he can beat Batista. So instead of talking about it, let's do it until we get it right. The title match is on! JBL says he is in charge. Batista says to shut him up, and the sound goes off. Batista says we're on.

Shawn Michaels is here! Oh, but really, it's Lance Cade with new music. Cade knows that Shawn is here tonight, and invites him to come out here. But if he does, they will have words that they should have had a long time ago. Paul London is out.

Paul London vs. Lance Cade

London goes behind and grabs a waistlock, then fires off with forearms as we get a loud "Let's go London!" chant. London misses a crossbody and Cade hits a backbreaker, then drives a knee into the back. Cade hits another backbreaker now and stretches London across the knee. London fights out of it with rights and knees to the head, but Cade whips him to the corner. London comes back with a springboard crossbody for 2, but then runs into a big shoulder tackle. Cade tosses London gut-first into the ringpost, drags him back to the middle and pulls London up. Sit-out spinebuster finishes.

Winner: Lance Cade

Cade says if that wasn't enough to bring him out, maybe this will be. Cade introduces Chris Jericho as we go to break.

Jericho says as much as the fans want Shawn Michaels here, the fact is, he's not coming. We get footage from the Bash showing why. Everything that happened last night is on us, the fans. It's our fault. There is no blood on his hands (nice way to come full circle there). Shawn spurred himself on for all of the fans; he took one chance too many and now he is paying for our sins. He said he was coming back to save the fans but then he realized we don't deserve to be saved. We sided with an egomaniac and we will regret, just like Shawn. His career is over. He has a detached retina and won't see properly for the rest of his life. Jericho has no remorse. The ironic thing is, by closing Shawn's eye he opened his. He doesn't have to be obsessed with pleasing a bunch of people who can't think for themselves. He says the people vilified him when he came back. They wanted the Jericho with the long hair who cut jokes, but he has grown up. Shawn Michaels never grew up and neither did the fans. He says he is proud of what he did. By ending Shawn's career, he considers himself, saved.

Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

Beth shoves Kelly, but Kelly responds in time and goes on the assault, cuts the leg out from under her and hits a dropkick. Beth blocks a roll up and pulls Kelly up. She comes back with forearms but Beth dumps her into the turnbuckles. Scoop slam by Beth. The fans really rally behind Kelly, which helps her fight out of a half-nelson-ish hol. Kelly back flips out of an arm wrench and hits a few forearms and then Beth charges into a back elbow. Kelly catches Beth with an enzuigiri and snaps off a tilt-a-whirl head scissors, then connects with a dropkick. We have a Kelly Kelly NIP SLIP folks and it's a GOOD one. 1 HOT close-up pic of the slip at the link at the bottom of this report. She handsprings into the corner but gets caught in the chicken wing, but she rolls through, but Beth counters and hits a wheelbarrow slam for 3.

Winner: Beth Phoenix

Jim Duggan is in the ring, dressed in T-shirt and trousers. He is thinking about hanging up his boots. It's been a great 30-year run. He made tons of friends and he survived kidney cancer. He thought about what DiBiase and Rhodes said last week and they may be right. This is a game for young men and it may be time for him to move on. He says thanks. Jerry Lawler cuts him off and gets in the ring. He knows this is none of his business, but there's no age limit in the WWE. He doesn't care what Rhodes and DiBiase said. As long as you're passionate, you can do this as long as you want to do it. The fans chant USA and King asks if he really wants to give that up. Duggan says no, he just needed someone to tell him that. He thanks King as the champs are here.

DiBiase says just because King likes to date girls younger than them, doesn't mean they relate to us. Cody says when Duggan one the first Rumble in 88, he was 2 years old.
