They show a picture of Eugene instead of Bischoff to start the show.

Intro.

We start the show with Coach, Tajiri, King, Stacy and Tomko in the ring. Flair comes down, then Jericho. There are chairs in the ring. Eugene then comes out wearing a suite coat over his jacket. He asks who wants to see a championship match tonight, and he says that everyone in the ring will have a chance to be in a championship match, but they have to win a game of Musical Chairs. HAHAHA. The music starts, and only Stacy and King start to play, but when the music stops, everyone dives for a chair, and Tajiri is the one that misses, but he nails Coach with the green mist! HAHA. The music starts again, and Coach can’t see, so he is eliminated. Music starts again, and when it stops, King tries to sit on Stacy’s lap, but that doesn’t work, and he is eliminated. Music starts again, and Flair starts doing his strut. HAHAHA. When the music stops, Flair shoves Stacy out of the way and she is eliminated. When the music starts up again, Flair is stylin and profiling, but Jericho and Tomko get to the chairs first. Crowd is behind Jericho (duh, they are in Winnipeg). Last chair, and Tomko and Jericho keep their eyes on each other. When the music stops, Tomko goes to sit down, but Jericho pulls the chair out of the way, and hits Tomko in the gut, then sits down. Eugene announces that he has won a shot at Orton’s IC Title tonight.

They get to Eugene’s Office, which is an inflatable jump-o-lene, and Eugene reminds them of the time that KANE hurt him, and HHH says that if anyone hurt him, HHH would take care of it. Batista stops him, and tells him that HHH can’t wrestle KANE, and Eugene says that knows, but Batista can. HAHA. Eugene then reminds them of the time that La Resistance defeated Val Venis & Rhyno (Randy flips out...THAT JUST HAPPENED), and Eugene says that he knows the perfect Tag Team that can beat La Resistance, Ric Flair and….then he finds some action figures, and runs into his jump-o-lene…They get him back out, and he says…”Ric Flair and…ME, EUGENE…WHOOOOOOOOO).

One by one, they will all fall, because somebody has to make a stand, and Edge will be that person. Trip starts to take off his jacket, and unbutton his shirt. Trip then says that he has heard that a million times…from everyone (Foley, Rock, Austin, HBK, Benoit he says), but nothing changes. Trip then asks what does Edge have to make this time different. Edge then drills him, and they brawl. Evo comes down, Edge gets out of the ring, as Orton runs around the corner, Edge nails him with a right, and hops the wall to get out of there.
