OPENING SEGMENT
The Undertaker + Jeff Hardy: The show started in darkness with a spotlight focused on a casket in the middle of the ring. The Undertaker voice came over the speakers, cutting a promo from the darkside about his Casket match at Survivor Series – promising to busy the Big Show six feet under. When the promo was over, the casket opened and the Undertaker sat up from inside. Jeff Hardy came up on the big screen with some freaky face paint and talked about living his whole life on pure emotion. Hardy said it was his insanity is exactly what will beat the Undertaker tonight. The Undertaker predicted that Jeff Hardy would “Rest in Peace!”

IN THE RING (CONTRACT SIGNING)
Vickie Guerrero & Chavo Guerrero + Vladimir Kozlov + WWE champion Triple H + Jeff Hardy: Vickie Guerrero hyped the WWE championship match and then introduced the challenger (Vladimir Kozlov) and the champion (Triple H). Triple H made some jokes at Vickie’s expense, and she yelled at him to get back to business. Kozlov signed the contract first, and then yelled at HHH in Russian. HHH talked about Kozlov’s lack of experience in championship matches. Jeff Hardy showed up and jumped off the top rope, putting Kozlov through a table – before ripping the contract up before throwing it in Triple H’s face!
