While RVD celebrates this great fortune, Jericho knocks him down and slaps on the Walls of Jericho and holds it until RVD passes out. In the meantime, backstage, Christian walks up to wish Matt hardy luck in his match against Edge for the Intercontinental Title. He also tells Matt that he wants the first title shot after Backlash should he win. Matt tells him that he'll 'think about it.'

	Batista dominates Bubba through the whole match. Pure squash material here. During the Match JR and King note that on Heat the night before, Ric Flair took on D-Von Dudley in the first match of the set.

Cause his match is next. He then shoos Booker T off to the ring. RVD asks what Bischoff meant, and Eric tells him. . .Booker T wants to prove he's main event material, so he'll have a chance at least. When he faces Chris Benoit next!
