(As Smackdown comes on the air, Triple H and Ric Flair make their way down
to the ring, accompanied by Ted DiBiase and The Big Show.)

Triple H:
It is with some disappointment, and in some ways a whole lot of satisfaction,
that I announce to all you people that, at this current moment in time, The
Rock is not in the building.

Now, you can make of this what you will, but the way I see it, if The Rock
does not turn up before the end of the night, then not only is he out of the
Elimination Match tonight, but it's about 99% certain that he is in Evolution
come this Sunday night at Backlash.

So, Hogan I suggest you start looking for a new partner both for tonight, for
Backlash and for ever, because it won't be very long before you're left all
on your own.  Come to think of it, considering the jinx that you are, you'd
be best staying away from any other WWE superstar or else you'll end up 
ruining their career too.

Ric Flair:
Hogan!  Take a look at this right here.  This is where The Rock belongs, not
with you, not with Shawn Michaels, not with Kevin Nash, but with the Nature
Boy..wooooo. and The Game!  And we got the Big Man, and the Money Man watching
our backs, and hey come this Sunday, we got the Rock watching our backs.  So
why don't you pack up the red and yellow and run Hogan, because it won't be
long until the Evolution leaves you as nothing more than a piece of history
brother, woooooooooooooooooooo!
