(After Smackdown returns from commercial, Shane McMahon makes his way to the
ring.)

Shane McMahon:
Well, Bad Blood is this Sunday night, and if the performance of Stone Cold
Steve Austin last Monday is anything to go by, then we may well have a brand
new WWE Champion this Sunday night in Randy Orton, and I for one welcome that.

But let's face it, if by some miracle opportunity, Stone Cold manages to retain
the title on Sunday, we know now that we have a more than capable number 1
contender in our midst, and that man is Ted DiBiase.  One thing that Teddy has
never held in his illustrious career is the WWE title, but all that could very
well change soon, after he proved his worth and won back his right to title
shots on Raw.

This Sunday, inside of a steel cage, DiBiase will once again prove that he is
twice the wrestler, and ten times the man Hollywood Hogan is.  Hogan, you do
not stand a chance of beating DiBiase, and you won't get me at the Bash later
this month.  But that's why I'm going to give you a chance here tonight.  Our
main event for this evening is going to be a 3 on 2 handicap match.  It's going
to be Stone Cold and Hollywood Hogan versus Ted Dibiase, Randy Orton, and 
Shane McMahon.  Think you've got what it takes to beat me Hogan?  Well, get
by Orton and DiBiase tonight, and we might just find out.  But trust me, this
is the last chance you'll get to fight me, because at Bad Blood, as my father
might say, you have no chance in hell of winning.  I guaran-damn-tee it.
