Chris Jericho and his Highlight reel with guests Batista and Shawn Michaels

HBK says that he’s sorry for ending Flair’s career, but Batista begs to differ. He claims that he’d never do something like that, and that HBK did it for another notch on his belt. Michaels says that he’s not proud of some of the things he’s done, and tells Batista that if he wants a piece of him, he should go for it. Batista says, “I already have”. Regal then received a phone call from Vickie Guerrero saying that Michaels VS Batista is set for Backlash.

Orton comes in complaining to Regal, who then tells him that next week in London, England, it will be Regal VS Randy Orton.

Cena takes the advantage for the pin.
