An urn. This is what you send me Undertaker?” He talks about the weeks of messages from beyond. He asks if this is what he has to look forward to, empty promises. He tosses the urn outside the ring. It’s going to take more than this to beat him. The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania is about to come to an end. He says it’s back to the grave for good this time. It’s over.

Michaels says no one respects Benoit’s accomplishments more than him. He knows it’s Benoit’s dream, but for Michaels’, it’s the ending of a 10-year grudge with HHH. The only way he can do that is by walking out with the belt. Benoit says it isn’t about grudges. they agree to disagree about who’s going to walk out with the belt. they both feel strongly and passionately that HHH will NOT be the one with the belt. Michaels says “good luck” and offers his hand. Benoit takes it and they face off. HHH comes out on the stage. He’s so happy for the two of them that they can come out and agree on things, shake hands and be buddies. He agrees with anyone who feels this is all a bunch of crap, defending against two men in one night and that one of them will walk out with his belt. They fail to realize he’s the guy who always overcomes the odds. He will take any opportunity and twist and manipulate it until it becomes his advantage. He calls himself the best there is. He has beaten them all. He’s always found a way to have an edge. And this Sunday, it will be their egos. this Sunday, their egos will be all the edge he needs.
