Josh Matthews:
Chris Benoit, tonight you will face the Intercontinental Champion Triple H in
a non-title match, but at Wrestlemania, your gold will be on the line, as you
face Randy Orton.  Having left the nWo, Orton now vows that he will be 100%
focused on taking the gold from you.  Are you going to be 100% focused on not
allowing him to.

Chris Benoit:
Josh, it's no secret that Randy Orton pinned me the last time that we met, but
a lot of guys have got lucky wins over me in the past, and have gone on to tap
out.  At Wrestlemania, Randy Orton will be the next name on that list.  He can
be as focused as he like, 100%, 200%, it really doesn't matter.  This WWE belt
is around my waist for one reason, and that is because I am the best wrestler
in this business today, not Randy Orton, not Brock Lesnar, not Hollywood Hogan,
not Triple H, me.  And after Wrestlemania is all said and done, I'll still be
the best, and Orton, you'll be just another victim of the crossface.
