(As Smackdown comes on the air, Shane McMahon makes his way down to the ring.)

Shane McMahon:
Hollywood Hogan, I guess I know who's got the true balls in the nWo.  It sure
as hell isn't you any more.  It's Brock Lesnar.  He's the one with the power
in the nWo, the power that you had, abused, and then lost.  He's the man that
you need in your group to give it the edge that has otherwise been lost.  The
nWo could continue without Hollywood Hogan now, but without Brock Lesnar, it
truly would be the end.

But it really doesn't matter Hogan, because the end is near for the nWo anyway.
At No Way Out, I get the job started by defeating you in a one-on-one contest,
and then like I said, by the time Wrestlemania has ended, the nWo will be no
more.

So I suggest that all of you within the nWo, especially you Brock Lesnar, look
to life outside of the group.  Hell, get out now while you still can, or you'll
go down with the sinking ship.  Because when I'm done with the nWo...

(The music of Brock Lesnar interrupts McMahon, as the WWE Champion makes his
way down to the ring.)

Brock Lesnar:
Well, well, well.  If it isn't the boss, Shane McMahon.  Well take a look at 
me Shane.  I'm the WWE Champion.  The man that's going to decimate your boy
at No Way Out.  The man that's going to remain WWE Champion for a long time
to come, and the man that's going to ensure that Hollywood Hogan and the nWo
stays around for a very long time to come.  

But that's not why I'm here Shane.  I'm here to address a little situation
from last Monday on Raw.  You wanted to know who let Hogan in here last week,
and hey, I told you, it was me.  You said there would be consequences Shane,
so what are you gonna do, huh?  You gonna fight me Shane?  Is that what you're
gonna do?  Because I'd like to see you try.

Shane McMahon:
I'll fight ya Brock.  I don't back down from anybody, in case you hadn't yet
realised, my name is McMahon.  So how about, right here tonight, you go find
Hollywood Hogan, I'll go find Chris Benoit, and we'll have ourselves a tag
team match, right here tonight?

Brock Lesnar:
You know Shane, tonight's not good for me.  Me and Hogan, we've already got
ourselves a match, and Chris Benoit, well, let's just say he's got his hands
more than full tonight, check this out.

(Brock Lesnar points to the video wall, which cuts to live footage of Benoit
being attacked 4-on-1 by The Outsiders, Scott Steiner and Ted DiBiase.)

Brock Lesnar:
Like I said, I don't think that Benoit is in any condition to wrestle right
now, but come Monday night he will be, so me and Hogan, we'll take your match
next Monday night on Raw.  But until then, here's a little preview.

(Lesnar scoops Shane O Mac up, and delivers the F5 to him.  The WWE Champ
returns to the back laughing, as EMTs and officials rush to the ring to tend
to the fallen McMahon.)
