1.BACKSTAGE

Triple H is backstage with Stephanie McMahon. He has a sly smile on his face as he looks at the notice board on the wall which says about the tournament and who's involved, he turns to Stephanie and puts an arm round her.

TRIPLE H : So, there's gonna be a tournament, huh ? Well, a tournament's not a tournament without the Game, ain't I right, honey ?

STEPHANIE : Absolutely.

TRIPLE H : I'm gonna win for sure. There's no one on that list that can even come close to me and it doesn't matter what opponent I get in the first round cause I'm gonna wipe 'em all out.

STEPHANIE : My Dad's gonna make the draw soon so we should probably listen to the announcements.

TRIPLE H : Don't sound so worried, sweetheart. I told you, I've got it all under control. This is going to be my finest hour.

The speaker above them buzzes. Vince McMahon then speak over.

VINCE : (VO) Ladies and gentleman the draw has been made for the upcoming tournament. I know you must be as excited as I am so without further ado here is the draw :

Eddie Guerrero vs Chris Benoit

Zach Gowen vs Matt Hardy

Kane vs Rob Van Dam

Chris Jericho vs A J Styles

The Hurricane vs Raven

Kurt Angle vs John Cena

Triple H vs Shawn Michaels

Chris Daniels vs Undertaker

VINCE : (VO) I thank you and good luck.

Triple H then looks back at Stephanie.

TRIPLE H : I've got HBK in the first round, that's unbeliveable.

HBK : Yes it is unbelievable, isn't it.

Triple H looks up and sees Shawn Michaels standing on the other side of the room. He walks over to him.

TRIPLE H : So, we're finally gonna settle it once and for all.

HBK : Yep. I knew our paths would meet again somewhere down the line, it's just a shame it's gotta be the first round.

TRIPLE H : Yeah, it'll be a shame for you.

HBK : Hey, one of us has gotta go out and it ain't gonna be me.

TRIPLE H : Yeah, we'll see about that...in the ring. Let the better man win

HBK : That'll be me.

Shawn Michaels extends a hand shake but then pulls it back to brush his hair and walks out of the room. Triple H smiles to himself.
