Edge and Christian say they have a plan that reeks of awesomeness for tonight’s match.
Vince is out. He asks if this response is southern hospitality. Vince says that he never really wanted to buy WCW in the first place. Vince asks if he has the guts to confront him right now. Vince keeps calling him Shane-o. Shane comes out to Vince’s wish. Shane’s name thingie has “WCW Owner” and after that it read “WCW.com”. Vince wants to know what the big news is. Shane says that he came out to apologize. He says that he’s sorry that he didn’t know that Wrestlemania would be much fun, and he’s sorry that he didn’t do it sooner. Vince now shows Shane and Big Show talking on Raw. Now Vince demands that The Big Show comes out here, and here comes The Show himself. Show gives Shane a little handshake to Vince’s disgust.

Now Vince shows footage from a year ago, when Shane was feuding with Show! I love nostalgia. Vince tells Show that he still has the chance to be the meanest, baddest WWF Champion of all time. Now Vince puts the offer onto the table, and tells Show to choose. Show grabs Vince by the throat, and then lets him go, and choke slams Shane! Shane sells it like he’s dead.

William Regal is out with Angle after all of the wrestlers have been introduced for the next match. Regal tells Jericho that he is facing Regal at Backlash in some strange match called the Duchess Of Queensberry Match that he refuses to explain the rules of. Then he says that Benoit and Angle are fighting in a 30 minute submission match, where the wrestler who gets the most submissions in his favor, wins. That should be sweet… Regal leaves and Angle stays on top of the ramp to scout Benoit.
