(As Smackdown returns from commerical, the nWo music hits once again, as Scott
Hall, Kevin Nash and X-Pac make their way down to the ring.)

Scott Hall:
Hey yo, we're out here for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to
offer an invitation to a very special friend of ours.  A friend who needs the
nWo's help more than he's ever needed it before.  That friend, is HBK Shawn
Michaels.

Kevin Nash:
Shawn, since you came back, things haven't been too great for you.  In two
seperate matches, you've been forced to give up, by The Mountie and Chris
Benoit respectively.  But there was one match, in which you did not give up,
Shawn.  That was your match with Steven Richards.  Right there in that match,
you showed us the Shawn Michaels of old, when you crippled Richards, right in
the middle of the ring.  That's the Shawn Michaels we know and love, and that's
the Shawn Michaels that we're inviting to join the nWo.

X-Pac:
This is a one-time offer only, Shawn, but we know that you're gonna take it.
We are your three best friends in this business, Shawn, and we're know that
you won't slap us in the face, by saying no.  So we've got a shirt for right
here, come on out Shawn, and put it on.

(Shawn Michaels' music hits, and he comes out onto the ramp.)

Shawn Michaels:
Well, the first thing I've gotta say, guys, is what took ya so long?  Ever
since I came back, I've been waiting for the moment that my best buds would
come out here, and offer me the chance to get back in the fold.  But right 
here tonight, you've given me the opportunity, and it's with great pleasure
that I say...been there, done that!

The nWo may need Shawn Michaels, but Shawn Michaels does not need the nWo.  
And you can bring up friendship as many times as you want, but I know that it
doesn't mean a damn when you put on the black and white.  Triple H was your
friend, and you stabbed him in the back, and I'm damn sure you'd do the same
to me, given half a chance.

But seeing as you guys are out here, and probably wanna kick my ass right now,
why don't we get a referee down here to make it official.  But oh, don't think
that I'm coming alone, you see, I've got two other guys that are sour on the
nWo from personal experience, and wanna you guys disappear back to where you
came from, so I'm gonna bring them out right now - Goldust and the 5-time, 
5-time, 5-time WCW Champion, Booker T!

(Goldust and Booker T emerge from the back, and the 6-Man tag match is on!)
