(After Smackdown returns from commercial, Shane McMahon emerges on the ring
ramp.)

Shane McMahon:
As many of you may know, tonight's main event was scheduled to be Hollywood
Hogan and Chris Jericho versus myself and Christopher Daniels.  However, as it
has become clear that Hogan cannot be trusted not to hurt me and ruin the 
match at Vengeance, I have made the decision to back out of tonight's main
event entirely.  In my place, you will see the WWE Champion, Randy Orton!

But Hogan, tonight's match will indeed be something special, because if you
are able to win the fall for your team against either Orton or Daniels, then
you can pick the stipulation for our match at Vengeance.  However, if it ends
any other win, that job will go to me.  So Hogan, I suggest that you go talk
with Jericho right now, because I don't want him to be surprised when you 
turn on him in that match just to get your way.  As for me, well Hogan, I'm
leaving the arena right now, so I guess I'll see you on Monday for the contract
signing.
