Then prior to the Lingerie contest, Dawn Marie gave him another peak. How did that make him feel? Al didn't have much to say but then Funaki brought up the fact that Dawn gave him the key to her hotel room. Al still didn't know what to say and Funaki brought up this past Thursday night when Torrie's dad was in the shower with Dawn Marie. So now, Funaki has big question; why was he wearing his clothes in the shower?! Al said that he's going to say this once only; he did not have sexual relations with that woman.

The Coach was shown with Rob Van Dam and in just moments, he'll step into the ring with Ric Flair. A man that a month ago nailed him with a sledgehammer and cost him a shot at the World Championship. Rob said that Ric Flair is a 16 time World Champion. He styles, profiles and is a limousine riding, jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin', dealin', son of a gun! As for RVD, he doesn't style or profile. Limos? He doesn't need them. You can catch him driving himself. Jets? He flies commercial and quite often gets stuck in coach or even in the middle seat sometimes. RVD is more of a chair smashing, frog splashing, risk taking, yinning and yanging, wooo, wooo, wooo, Van Daminating dude! He's Rob Van Dam!
After Rob Van Dam left, The Coach saw Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar walking by so he tried to get a word with them, but they wouldn't speak. The Coach talked to Tracy and Tracy said that there are no accusations. What she said is the truth. The Undertaker is a liar and a cheat. Everything she said is the truth and she is here tonight to watch that scumbag get what he deserves inside Hell in a Cell.
