- Mr. McMahon says that last week he was supposed to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Monday Night RAW. Instead, he was beaten and humiliated while every superstar, Diva and announcer celebrated in the ring. He says he can’t understand why everyone took so much pleasure in watching him get beat up - his feelings were hurt and his heart broken - and is interrupted by Jeff Hardy’s music.
- Jeff stares at Mr. McMahon and grabs the mic from him. Hardy compares Mr. McMahon to Saddam Hussein, saying Saddam named himself dictator for life - and Mr. McMahon announced he was the greatest superstar ever. Hardy goes on to say that Vince doesn’t care about anyone, so no one cares about him. Vince staggers back, and collapses in the corner of the ring.

When Vince doesn’t respond, Triple H tells him to get up “before they cancel the show”.
- Regal gets back in the ring, and says that Triple H should get out of the ring before Regal has security escorts them out. Regal finally gets Vince to stand up, and Vince grunts a bit, then says it’s going to be Regal & Coach vs. Triple H in a Handicap Match - and Vince hopes something bad happens tonight…to each and every one of us.

Flair says that who ever he faces, he wants them to bring their best, because if he’s going to get beat, he’s going to give the fight of his life first. And, he tells the crowd, if he gets beat tonight going against Umaga, he just wants to say “Thank You”.

- Chris Jericho comes to the ring and says that he invited JBL to RAW tonight to answer questions about why he attacked Chris Jericho at Armageddon 12.16.07…but JBL didn’t show up, so Jericho’s just going have to go to SMACKDOWN.
- JBL shows up on the trinitron - via satellite, and says he has too much to do to come to Buffalo…and Jericho is low on his list of priorities anyway. JBL says what happened was simple - Jericho put his hands on JBL, JBL struck back. Jericho says camermen, photographers and the timekeeper get knocked around every day, but they don’t interfere with matches. Jericho says he’s going to have to come to SMACKDOWN to suprise JBL when he least expects it. JBL says he made a deal with Mr. McMahon, and if Jericho comes to SMACKDOWN, he won’t be in the Royal Rumble.
- Jericho shakes his head, saying JBL has sold his soul to become one of those “Wall Street” guys. JBL used to be a “Wrestling God” - now he’s a wrestling afterthought. JBL gets upset, and tells Jericho he’s coming to RAW, and he’ll prove he’s still a Wrestling God.
