ROBBIE: What do you want Al? Another ass kicking?
SNOW: HAHA! Ever the comic! Robbie, last night you made two big mistakes! The first one was winning that belt, 'cause now you gotta face me! The second one was hitting me with a cross-arm Iconoclasm after the match! Now you've gotta deal with me and...well, I decided to get some revenge.
ROBBIE: Revenge? How are you gonna do that? Bore me to death by talking at me all night?
SNOW: Watch what you say boy! You're talking to the man who controls the Demon of Destruction...You're talking to the man who will be the next and three time world champion...you're talking to the man...who is best friends with the commissioner!

ROBBIE: He already told me!
The no.1 contender looks stunned.
ROBBIE: For those who don't know, I will have to defend my world title every week on Thursday Fireball. What Al doesn't know is that he has to defend his top contendership spot too!
SNOW: WHAT?!?!?!?
FOLEY: That's right Al! Every week on Monday Mayhem, you will defend your top contenders spot against an opponent of my choosing. Should you win, then Robbie will face the same person on FIreball. Should you lose, the person who beat you goes to the PPV and you stay at home!
SNOW: ...son of a...
ROBBIE: And guess what? You wont know who your opponent is unless they decide to reveal themselves to you!
SNOW: ...Mick...
FOLEY: Did you really think I'd let you give yourself an unfair advantage? THINK AGAIN AL! I think I'll just go back to my office now and take a Sarven.

Interview"BREATHE"
Al Snow walks down to the ring alone to boos and jeers.
SNOW: OK, OK...all you idiots can just shut up or go back to the billa-bong or whatever bush you were born under! Tonight, I face another mystery opponent. Well...i'm ready! I'm out here alone, so whoever my opponent is...get out here! HEY! Look, i'll even give you a chance to get your PPV title shot. I'll make this match a no dq match.
Al steps out of the ring and pulls some weapons from under the ring. He throws them in the ring and then climbs back in himself.
SNOW: COME ON! DON'T BE SCARED!
"WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" by G'N'R keys up and Al looks REALLY scared as "The Man Beast" Rhino enters!
The bell rings and the match is on.

KASH: And just how do you suggest we do that?
JONNY: That's simple you moron! I fought Jody tonight, so why don't two of your guys fight each other?
FOLEY: That sounds good. You go and pick two members of your little erm...group and then have a match before the main event. IF you do that, thenI will officially grant you your match.
KASH: FINE!

We return and are in a locker room. DDP is sitting down.
DDP: At OVERKILL, I finally get to get my hands on BOTH Mikey and TIger Mask IV. Each one of us uses a form of the Ace Crusher, but we all know the definitive version is the Diamond Cutter. At OVERKILL, you will both fell the...

He turns and Robbie hits him with a snap suplex. Al gets up and runs into a high-angle belly-to-belly suplex. Up again, he tastes a superkick. Al is flailing and rolls out of the ring. Unabomb is quick to join him.
