- Teddy Long wheels a still wheelchair-bound Vickie Guerrero (she’s really milking this, isn’t she?) into the ring. Vickie calls out her family’s “long-time friend” and new #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, Rey Mysterio. Vickie congratulates Rey.
- Rey says it feels a little weird to get a congratulations for her, since she is supporting his opponent, Edge. Rey says “what’s up with Edge?” When Vickie says she didn’t bring him out to discuss her private life, he scoffs and says her relationship with Edge isn’t exactly “private.” Vickie goes on to say that Eddie loved her so much, he would want her to get on with his life, and Edge would make a great “father figure.” Rey laughs, and says Edge doesn’t really love her.
- Edge says Rey will just have to accept the reality of their love, and Edge has another reality for Rey: Edge will still be able World Heavyweight Champion after the Royal Rumble. Rey disagrees, and says he’s going to be the new World Heavyweight Champion.
- Chavo Guerrero comes out and tells Rey he’s never going to be Guerrero no matter how hard he tries…then turns to Vickie and says all the Guerreros are disgusted by what she’s doing. Edge tells them to both shut up, and Vickie says this is her show, and they are paid to wrestle, not give her life lessons…and makes a match for tonight, pitting Chavo vs. Rey.
