(As Smackdown comes on the air, Triple H makes his way down to ringside, along
with Ric Flair.  He grabs a mic, and proceeds to address the crowd. )

Triple H:
Terry Funk.  What you saw last week was an example of what happens when I don't
get my way.  You think that you can embarrass me in front of the entire world,
and get away with it?  It doesn't happen, and that sledgehammer you took to the
head is the reason why.

The next time that you and I face off, I won't be so restricted in what I do to
you, Funk.  I won't restrain myself, and I will hit you with that hammer again
and again.  I don't give a damn if you're the commissioner, if you're the boss,
whatever you are, if you stand in my way, I will take you down.

And when I once again become the WWE Champion, that is exactly what will apply
to each and every WWE superstar in the back.  And don't think it won't happen,
because it will.  I am on the ballot for Taboo Tuesday, and if I don't get the
shot then, I can take one whenever I want.  So you people had better get it in
your skulls that if you don't vote for me to take the Taboo Tuesday shot, I
will take the title when I feel like it.  No matter what measures you take to
stop me, I will not be stopped.  So Benoit, or Christian, whichever one of you
has the belt come Taboo Tuesday, or whoever has that belt after it, your reign
is on borrowed time.

And speaking of Benoit and Christian, it seems as though somebody with a sense
of humour has seen fit to team me with Christian tonight, along with Ric Flair,
to take on Chris Benoit, John Cena and The Rock.  Whichever one of you bright
sparks with the book chose to make the match, all you've gone and done is given
these people the chance to see how things run with me at the forefront, and how
things will be once I get my belt back.

(The fans pop for the music of Chris Benoit, which hits as Triple H finishes 
his sentence. )

Chris Benoit:
Your belt, huh?  Hunter, I can't help but notice that you've not worn this 
title in a very long time, while I have dominated the WWE title scene for
almost a whole year.  This belt right here, it's mine, and there's not a damn
thing that you can do about it.  When I get done with Christian at No Mercy,
I don't care who it is that I get to face at Taboo Tuesday, but if it's you,
I'm going to enjoy making you tap out yet again, and rubbing this belt, MY
belt, in your face, because...

(Before Benoit can finish his sentence, he's attacked from behind by Christian,
who picks up both the champ's belt and microphone. )

Christian:
When you get by me?  Benoit, you're not getting by me.  And Triple H, we may be
partners tonight, but that's only tonight.  If this belt belongs to anybody, it
belongs to me, and come No Mercy, it'll be all mine, because that's how I roll!
