SINGLES MATCH
Edge defeated Jack Swagger w/Swagger Soaring Eagle: Jack Swagger said he was glad that Edge has been traded back to their show so he can ruin his return to Friday nights just like Edge ruined his return to Oklahoma. Jack said they were flying high and Edge had to embarrass them. Jack said the Swagger Soaring Eagle was friendly and an endangered species because it’s hard for an eagle to get medical insurance. Edge told Jack to get in the ring. Edge told the eagle to get out of there because he had no problem flipping the bird. Jack outwrestled Edge at first until the Swagger Soaring Eagle got on the apron and ended up getting speared by Edge. Back from commercial Edge was in control. Jack started attacking Edge’s arm to take over. Edge managed to make a comeback and hit the DDT for 2. Jack and Edge wrestled back and forth a bit more until Edge reversed the gutwrench powerbomb into the Edge-O-Matic for 2. Edge hit the spear moments later for 3.

IN THE RING
Paul Bearer + World Heavyweight champion Kane: Paul announced Kane to the ring and said he left Taker a pathetic writhing mess on the canvas as HIAC. Kane said years ago when he was devising his plan he never thought it would be so easy. Kane said he never thought his brother’s pride would make him so week. Kane said Taker may have sent Paul to the darkside but it was him who brought him back. Kane said he is more powerful than Taker could ever imagine. Kane said even more satisfying than beating him was seeing the look on his face when Paul turned his back and handed him the urn. Kane said Taker wasn’t the only one deceived. Kane said everyone watching was deceived. Kane said everyone thought Taker was once again whole and the only thing missing was his inevitable triumph. Kane said with the fall of their idol all of their vicarious visions of grandeur and dreams came crashing down. Kane said they realized that Taker is just like them. Kane said weak, pathetic, and helpless. Kane said just like Taker all of them answer to someone. Kane said the deadman answers to the devils favorite demon. Kane said the legend of Taker allows them to escape reality but since he destroyed that legend they have nothing left other than their miserable lives. Kane said as for Taker, he has been betrayed by those closest to him and has failed all his creatures of the night. Kane said he must feel like he’s in his own corner of hell. Kane said not to worry because they are just warming up.
