Tucson, AZ
Commentators: Michael Cole & Jerry 'The King' Lawler


The Former World Champion Chris Jericho is in the ring furious that he was completely screwed out of the title last night at Cyber Sunday. He said Austin changed the rules and tried to bully and intimidate him through the whole match. He said he was a victim of a conspiracy. He said Batista should be embarrassed to consider himself champion. He said it took an entire army of people to beat him. It took HBK, Mike Adamle, Batista, Steve Austin and all the fans to dethrone him. He said he was dying to get his hands on Batista and Shawn Michaels tonight but he couldn't just get that.

He said he would except his rematch clause next week. Raw GM Mike Adamle came sauntering down to the ring shortly thereafter. He said he had a piece of paper that would insure there'd be no interference in their rematch. He said it was paperwork for a cage match. Jericho was seething. He asked Adamle if he wanted to put him in a cage before bumping him out of the way and stomping off to the back.

Shortly thereafter Randy Orton's music hit and he came down to confront Adamle in the ring. He bemoaned his being stunned last night by Steve Austin and declared it to be Adamle's latest failure. He looked to the camera and demanded Shane and Stephanie McMahon fire Mike Adamle. Or he would walk. He ran up one side of Adamle being a bad interviewer, a horrible commentator and an even worse GM who was spineless and had no control over his show. He said if he phoned his wife in Chicago, he'd probably find out that he was a failure as a husband and father, too. Adamle was the one boiling now and slapped Orton. There was a long stare down before Orton walked off while Adamle sat stunned in the ring.

World Tag Team Championship
Kofi Kingston & CM Punk v. Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase

Rhodes had a rough go of things with both Punk and Kofi and tagged in Dibiase who initially didn't fare much better. After fighting his way out of a front face look he missed a right punch in the corner and Punk hammered him back to the center of the ring. Dibiase ducked own though and hit a jaw breaker before firing back with his own punches before Punk flew off the middle rope with a cross body. Rhodes attempted to bust back into the fray, but was met head on by Kofi's leaping drop kick. As they regrouped on the outside, Punk flung himself over the top rope, crashing into the champions.

Cody stomped away on Kingston in the corner before Dibiase tagged in and hammered away on Kingston's face on the mat.

Kingston was vaulted into Rhodes and took him over the top rope and to the floor.

World Heavyweight Champion Batista was introduced and he came down to the ring for an interview with Michael Cole. He said it was a long, hard trip, but he finally got his belt back. Cole asked him for his thoughts on the cage match next week and Batista says he's got no fears that the cage was his home. He'd 'do what he always does' and successfully defend the title. Nice sports-ish interview kept short and sweet.
