  12. IN THE RING: Booker T & Shane McMahon, The Rock.
    • WCW Champion Booker T and WCW owner Shane McMahon headed to the ring, just three days after their brutal assault on The Rock, which culminated in Shane hitting the Leap of Faith onto Rock and the announcers' table.
    • Shane said the crowd was filled with Hollywood phonies, none of whom had ever been in a fight in their lives, because they didn't have the guts to fight for what they believed in.
    • The Boy Wonder said that in a Street Fight, it doesn't matter who walks away the winner or who walks away the loser, but who walks away, period.
    • He said it was he and Booker who walked out of Monday's Street Fight, at the expense of The Rock.
    • As the crowd chanted for The Rock, Shane showed footage from Monday's RAW, and asked Booker who the sucka was now.
    • Booker said that Rock was definitely the sucka, because Rock got his ass kicked and Rock was not a five-time WCW Champion, and because Rock was scared and jealous of Booker T.
    • He said if Rock disagreed with anything he said, then Rock should accept his SummerSlam challenge.
    • The sold-out crowd at the Staples Center rose to its feet as Rock's music hit, and the People's Champion walked to the stage!
    • The Great One accepted Booker's challenge for SummerSlam, but said before that, he had one question -- What in the blue hell is a spinneroonie?
    • Rock promised to whip Booker's ass at SummerSlam, but there was just one problem -- Rock wasn't interested in SummerSlam just yet. He was interested in tonight.
    • Booker said he knew Rock wanted the Bookerman, so he challenged him to walk down the People's Ramp, step into the People's Ring, and to face Shane and Booker in a Handicap Match on SmackDown! right now!
    • As the people cheered, Rock made his way to the ring, grabbing a steel chair on his way.
    • At first, Shane and Booker double-teamed Rock, but the People's Champion battled back, giving Booker a spinebuster onto the chair!
