SHOW OPENER PROMO

Ric Flair '88 emerges with a sinister glint in his eye and a sly smile on his face.

RIC FLAIR '88: "Woo! Shawn Michaels, the so-called “Heartbreak Kid”, the supposed “showstopper”? Tonight, you're about to deal with the dirtiest player in the game, the stylin', profilin', limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin' son of a gun! I took care of Christian on RAW IS WAR, and now I'm standing on the precipice of greatness, you're the unfortunate obstacle in my way."

(Boos fill the air as Flair continues, his tone dripping with arrogance.)

FLAIR '88: "You beat Kurt Angle '06, congratulations. But let's face it, Shawn, you're past your prime, living off the fumes of your former glory. Meanwhile, I'm like a Rolex: timeless! An icon in this business, and I won't let someone like you stand in my path to the World Heavyweight Championship. Tonight, I'm calling you out, Michaels! Put that #1 contendership on the line! You can't escape the inevitable, and the inevitable is me becoming the next World Heavyweight Champion. Woo!"

(Shawn Michaels's music hits, and the WWE Universe erupts in cheers as HBK struts down the ramp with purpose.)

SHAWN MICHAELS '05: "”The Nature Boy”, always running your mouth. You think you can just make demands? You might be a Legend, but you're not the Legend you once were. I've got news for you, Ric;”The Heartbreak Kid” has a few more dances left!"

"You want a shot at my #1 contendership? You've got it! But don't think for a second that you're going to derail ol' HBK! I've faced bigger and badder opponents than you! So, “Naitch”, be prepared for sweet chin music because when the music stops, you're going to know why they call me “The Showstopper”!"

At that moment, Michaels blocks a cheap shot attempt by Flair as a brawl breaks out between the two in a fracas that Flair gets the better of!

RENEE YOUNG: "Brie Bella, tonight you're facing Paige in what's sure to be a highly contested bout. What are your thoughts going into this match?"

BRIE BELLA: "Tonight's match is a big for me. Paige is tough and I have immense respect for her. But this isn't about friendships. This is about proving that I can bring it at the highest level. I've got my eyes set on the Divas Title. And Paige, you better believe I'm coming in with everything I've got. It's time to show the world what “Brie Mode” is all about!"

RENEE: "Paige, tonight you're facing Brie Bella, another respected competitor in the ring. What does this match mean to you, and how are you approaching the challenge?"

PAIGE: "Brie is a fantastic wrestler and I've always had respect for her. Tonight's match is crucial for both of us. The WWE Divas Championship is the pinnacle, and I want to prove that I'm the one who deserves a shot at Trish Stratus. Brie and I may share some mutual respect, but once that bell rings, it's all business. I'm not about to hold back. Brie, get ready for a fight because I want that Divas Title!"

Tonight, in that ring, I'm gonna prove that dreams come true. And when I'm done with Razor, Jake Roberts, I'm comin' for that European Championship, and ain't nothin' gonna stand in my way!"

(Razor Ramon, exuding charisma with his toothpick and a confident smirk.)

RAZOR RAMON: "Hey yo. Tonight, I steppin' into the ring with “The American Dream”, but let's not play around, chico. I not just here for a dance. I here for gold. The European Title, it's callin' my name, and nobody gonna deny me what I deserve. Dusty, you might be a legend, but tonight, you're dealin' with “The Bad Guy”.
