IN THE RING
World Heavyweight champion Kane + Edge: Kane said 2 weeks ago Edge abducted the one thing that means more to him than his title and his life. Kane said last week Edge humiliated him with his perverted cat and mouse games. Kane said Edge used Paul as bait, trying to lure him into a trap. Kane said at Survivor Series Edge taunted him with an empty wheelchair, trying to distract him from successfully defending his title. Kane said despite all of this he is still the champion. Kane said this abduction is unlawful. Kane said he’s willing to let the whole thing slide if Edge just brings him back Paul Bearer. Kane said if Edge brings him back he won’t eviscerate him. Kane said he is not a freak or a monster. Kane said this hardened exterior isn’t really him, he has feelings. Kane said he’s a warm caring human being who only wants to be with his family for the holidays. Kane said he just wants his father back. Edge came out with an empty wheelchair. Edge said he also loves the holidays. Edge said Paul is here tonight and if Kane wants him back all he has to do is ask. Kane said he has been asking. Edge asked Kane where his manners were. Kane asked nicely if he could have Paul back. Edge said Kane didn’t use the magic word. Kane asked if he could please have Paul back. Edge said it wasn’t a proper please. Kane asked again and Edge said Kane didn’t mean a word of it. Edge left.

Edge showed up on the HD screen. Edge said he never had a dad either. Edge said Mother Nature called and Mother Nature is really calling Paul right now. Edge pushed Paul off to the washroom. Back from commercial Kane was outside the bathroom. He opened the door and “GONE FISHIN” was written on the mirror.

IN THE AUDIENCE
Edge & Paul Bearer + World Heavyweight champion Kane: Edge was up in the rafters with Paul. Edge said on behalf of Paul they would like to wish them the happiest of holidays. Edge said the holidays aren’t just about eating; they’re about bonding and conversing. Edge said he wants Kane to come out so they can have a conversation. Edge got Paul to scream for Kane and he came out looking mad. Kane said Edge was heartless and a monster. Edge said after all the things Kane has done to people it sounds like he’s describing himself. Edge said he would do the right thing tonight. Edge asked the fans if he should give Paul back to Kane and they booed. The fans cheered when Edge asked if he should shove Paul down the steps. Kane said all of this is clearly to get him to give Edge another world title match. Kane said Edge could have it. Edge accepted. Edge asked Kane to go up there and join them. Edge told Kane to join them at the hot dog stand. Kane went out there and Edge and Paul were gone.
