King – “That match will be fantastic. We also have the new women’s champion in action tonight and Jeff Hardy is back in action.” The General Manager’s music hits, “That’s the second time he’s done that to us J.R. What a rude arrogant person.”
Bischoff has a microphone in his hand and says, “Matt Hardy is not worthy of having the main event position tonight. So his match will be first. The Undertaker is backstage ready to go, but Matt Hardy is not here yet. So I we will take a break and if he is not here when the match is ready to start, the Undertaker will be the winner. I am very sorry that I have to do this Taker because I know that you are main event material. So next week you will have a rematch for the United States title against Destroyer alone. No-one else to step in your way. Just you and him.”
Taker appears on the big screen and says, “Thank-you Eric, but there is one thing I must tell you. I want to fight Matt Hardy tonight so if you cancel the match I will be coming after you.”
He disappears and Eric looks terrified. He says, “Let’s go for a break.” He walks backstage and the advertisement break comes on.
J.R – “We have confirmed with XWE officials that Matt Hardy is here. We are about to start the ladder match. For a person to win in this match, they have to obtain the belt that is hanging above the ring. To do this they must use the ladder. There are no disqualifications, no pinfalls, and no submissions in this match. Ladies and Gentlemen, the belt that is hung from the middle of the arena is not a championship belt. It just means that the person who acquires it will win the match.”
