Backstage, Shawn Michaels was backstage preparing for his match. Someone tapped him on the shoulder.
It was Bret Hart.
"Bret! How ya been?" HBK said trying to make small talk.
"Cut the crap, Shawn. I don't you and you don't like me. We're gonna have to learn to deal with it. I have a full-time contract here now. And at Backlash...you're mine."
"Yeah, if I lose to Vince, you have your match." HBK said.
"Until then..." Bret said and punched HBK in the mouth. "...that was for Montreal."
Match 9- Mick Foley vs. Edge w/Lita
Edge came out first and waited for Mick. Foley didn't come out and Edge began to get impatient. Edge told Lita to wait and started to walk to the back. Edge go to the curtain as Foley came out with a trash can and hit Edge in the face with it. The ref looked shocked and went to call for a DQ when Foley talked.
"Don't ring the bell. This match is a hardcore match. Bang Bang!"
Cactus Jack then started stomping on Edge as the ref and Lita walked up the ramp. Cactus saw Lita coming and turned around and locked the Mandible Claw in. Lita couldn't get out. Edge went around then and ran and gave Cactus a spear. Cactus got up and tossed Edge to the backstage area. The cameras followed them. Edge had a chair and was chasing Cactus around a coffee table. Cactus entered a room and shut the door. Edge banged on the door with the chair. "Come on, Foley! Come out!"
The door opened and Cactus came out with a chainsaw! Edge looked scared and ran away. Cactus dropped the chainsaw and ran after him. Edge turned and ran at Cactus and gave him a thunderous spear. Edge then locked in the Edge caution. Cactus had nowhere to go. Cactus grabbed a trash can lid and lifted it into the air and it caught Edge in the face. Edge let go as Lita stumbled into the backstage area. Edge got up and leveled Cactus with the trash can lid as Cactus tended to Lita. Edge went into a room and got a pane of glass. He set it up against the wall. Lita picked Cactus up and he planted her with a Double Arm DDT. Cactus got up and took Edge down with a running knee to the gut. Edge keeled over, but didn't fall. Foley tried to move the pane of glass but Edge ran over and gave him a spear right through it. Edge covered for a slow two.
Edge got pissed and looked for a weapon. Somehow, Foley picked himself up and followed Edge. Edge went room to room. Cactus picked up a kendo stick and threw it at the back of Edge's head. The stick bounced off of Edge and Edge landed in a heap on the floor. Foley spread Edge out on the floor and opened up a ladder and set it up near Edge. Foley slowly climbed, blood flowing from the holes in his skin the glass made. Lita came up from behind him with the kendo stick. Foley got to the top and climbed over on the other side. He was preparing to jump off onto Edge when Lita whacked him in the head with the kendo stick. Foley barely had time to think before he fell off. He gathered himself before he landed and hit Edge with an elbow drop. Foley stayed on top of Edge and the ref counted the three.
Winner- Cactus Jack- Mick Foley
After the match, Batista was shown preparing for his match when Kurt Angle walked up to him.
"My match is next." Angle said.
"You just interrupted my preparation to tell me your fighting Henry next?" Batista asked, annoyed.
Angle laughed in spite of himself. "No. I wanted to tell you that, no matter who wins...I'm coming for you at Judgement Day. Even if the Undertaker wins tonight...Batista versus Kurt Angle at Judgement Day"
"Yeah, that's great Kurt. You go concentrate on Henry and beating him without your Angle Slam and Angle Lock." Batista said. "Your dismissed."
