(The camera cuts to a pre-taped interview with Shawn Michaels.)

Shawn Michaels:
Christopher Daniels.  The Intercontinental Champion, also known as the luckiest
man in the world.  You think that you can just take risks, fail, and save your
title?  Think again.  The Heartbreak Kid is on to your little game, Daniels,
and at Summerslam, you can rest assured that I'm not going to allow you to 
play it again.  I will do whatever it takes to ensure that you don't leave
Summerslam with the Intercontinental Title, and I do.  It may sound like a bit
of a cliche Daniels, but it's not, because Shawn Michaels said it, it's a damn
guarantee, jack.  Bring the belt, bring everything you've got, because it's
time for the showstoppa to show you what it's all about.

(The camera cuts to another pre-taped interview, this time with Christopher
Daniels.)

Christopher Daniels:
They've all said it you know, Michaels.  Jericho, Booker T, Tajiri.  They all
said that I wouldn't leave with the gold, but I did.  You think what I'm doing
is saving my title?  It's not.  If I'd connected with that move on you, you
would have been the one out cold, not me.  Whichever way it goes down, it's all
about me winning the title.  But if you're that scared Shawn, how about we
eliminate count-outs at Summerslam.  You and me, 1 on 1, no count-outs.  I will
show you, just like I showed everybody who said they would take the title from
me that I am the saviour of wrestling, and the future of this business.  HBK,
at Summerslam, the show will stop for you.
