Bad Blood was last night. Mick Foley was the special ref in the Hell in a Cell match and he comes out to start the show and plug his new book. Or as Foley said it.. a cheap plug and a cheap pop.. is the reason he’s here. He talks about last nights match and how he was a man of his word. Foley says in the midst of it all, he remembered exactly who he is. Before he can continue, EVOLUTION INTERRUPTS. It’s the first official entrance for them, but they don’t have the Motörhead music yet which is weird, but the music they have is similar and not bad at all. So yeah, it’s still cool as fuck. Also, Batista isn’t with them. It’s just H, Flair, & Orton. They look pissed and surround Foley in the ring. Orton takes the lead and talks a bunch of shit to Foley.

Show opens with a truck pulling into the arena and it’s THE ROCK. He’s a guest on the highlight reel tonight. 

1) Trish Stratus, Ivory, & Jacqueline vs. Jazz, Victoria, & Molly Holly (w/ Theodore Long) 

Lawler says “puppies, puppies, & more puppies” as the women are making their entrances.. god I hate that motherfucker. Victoria and Trish start things off and Victoria hits the spider’s web for an early two count. The action really never slows down here and mostly everyone gets their stuff in. Ivory gets the big victory as she pins the women’s champion, Jazz. 

Match rating - **

Back out in the parking lot, GOLDBERG is here.

~VINTAGE OPENING VID~

Oh fuck Kevin Nash is opening the show! Let’s go!!! He gets an awesome ovation. Nash is pissed that while he was out, Triple H and Shawn Michaels turned on one another and when he returned last week, he was right in the middle of it. He says they’re all supposed to be friends and it shouldn’t be like this. Before Nash can finish, Triple H comes out and they… hug? It doesn’t last long. H says he’s happy to see him, but things are different and he’d assume to slap Shawn in the face rather than shake his hand. HBK IS HERE AND HE IS RILED UP. HE WANTS H TO SLAP HIM AND HE SAYS H IS RIGHT THEY WILL NEVER BURY THE HATCHER. Nash starts high pitching yelling and says he didn’t come back for this shit. H says Nash is in a tough spot, but he has to make a choice - it’s him or Shawn. H goes on an in depth explanation of why he should side with him and not Shawn, ending with H saying to remember that the biggest success either of them ever saw came when they walked away from Shawn.
