When Will It End?

Raw, December 8, 2003

Shane walked around backstage. He noticed some people giving him weird looks, or turning their face while they were talking to somebody else. He ignored all of this and probably figured it was about what happened a week earlier on Raw with HBK and the steel chair. HBK took the chair shot from Kane despite what happened earlier between Shawn and Shane. To be truthful, Shane never thanked him for it.

Marissa walked up to Shane. Shane just noticed at this point that Marissa was getting quite a stomach. "Hey, Shane. I need to talk to you… Can you meet me in your locker room in about 2 minutes?" She asked. Shane figured there was no escaping what ever was going to happen, so he agreed. Shane ran into Steve and Rob before he went into his locker room to talk to Marissa.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Shane asked once he reached them. "Hey Shane." Steve stated. "Hey Shane-O. Hey, you know what happened between Shawn and yourself last week? Well, Shawn told me he's never taking another chair shot for you again. You better thank him or repay him because he's pissed." Rob told him. Shane seemed to be pissed off by Rob's statement.

"Is that why everyone's treating me like a jackass?" Shane asked, looking at some backstage workers. The backstage workers turned their heads once Shane looked at them. "Correction, Shane... you are a jackass." Steve stated and walked away. "Sorry, dude... But, he's right... That was a stupid thing for Shawn to do... Now I bet he feels stupider because you never thanked him. He wants to beat your ass... But because of Linda, Shawn is holding off on his anger. Please, take my advice and thank him for what he did." Rob told Shane and walked away. Shane noticed Rob met up with Austin and they were heading to the cafeteria.

Shane walked into his locker room and saw Marissa waiting for him. She was sitting on the couch. Shane walked over to her and sat down next to her. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" Shane asked her. Despite everything that happened between them, Shane still seemed to be concerned for his wife. He loved her so much no matter what. He wasn't going to break his wedding vows... Even though he told her that their relationship was over. He made a vow to God that he would keep her safe and love her forever.

"I need to tell you something... Um... I'm... I'm pregnant." Marissa stated. Shane looked at her like she was insane. Why did he need to know? She's been with Kane for a while, so that means the baby is Kane's. "Why don't you go and tell Kane?" Shane asked. Marissa started crying.

"The baby is yours," Marissa shouted. Shane stared at her. "What? How?" Shane asked. "I found out in June... I was going to tell you that night that Kane attacked you and took me... But... That's what stopped me... I'm so sorry... Don't worry about a thing... Kane doesn't know, and I don't intend to tell him." Marissa told Shane.

"Ok, come here." Shane stated and hugged Marissa. She continued to cry. Shane was thinking about telling somebody so he could get it off his chest. He thought of his three closest friends Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam. He would have to get all three of them to listen, and that meant apologizing and thanking Shawn. Marissa stood up. "I need to go now. Kane is probably looking for me. See you later." Marissa stated and left. Shane was happy that she left, and once she got down the hall Shane ran out of the locker room and into the cafeteria.

He saw just the three people he wanted to see. Steve, Shawn and Rob. He slowly approached them and heard that they were talking about Kane. "He's an insane monster." Rob stated. "He doesn't belong on Raw. He belongs in a psycho ward." Shawn assured him. "Look who's joining us." Steve stated and nudged the two men in front of him. Shawn and Rob turned around to see Shane.

"Hey... Uh... Shawn... I wanted to clear the grounds between us... Thanks for what you did last week... I'm sorry for not thanking you sooner, but I had a lot on my mind." Shane stated and stuck out his hand for a hand shake. Shawn looked at his hand and then at Shane. A small smile came on Shawn's emotionless face. "It's ok, McMahon. You have to realize that I'm never going to do that again for you. Got it?" Shawn asked, and Shane nodded his head. They shook hands and put the past behind them.

"Now that that's over, why are you here?" Steve asked. "Well, I need to tell you guys something... You're going to be quite shocked. I need to tell you in private, though..." Shane stated. Rob looked around the cafeteria. "There's nobody here, Shane." He said and looked back at Shane. Shawn and Rob got closer to Shane and Steve to hear what Shane had to say.

"Marissa's pregnant," Shane said in a very low tone. "Why did she tell you?" Steve asked, quite sure that the baby was Kane's. "The baby is mine. She found out about it in June." Shane finished. Rob smiled. "You're going to be a daddy! Awesome! Hey... I'm the only one without a child here... NO FAIR!" Rob shouted. Shawn knew something was very fishy about it, and Steve was thinking the same.

Both men were giving Shane an odd look. Shane acknowledged them. He smiled. "It's ok guys. Lighten up. Kane doesn't even know about it." Shane assured them. Shawn nodded his head and smiled. He strongly believed in having faith. Steve, who just didn't give a damn, looked at Shawn in a weird way. "Why do you believe in faith so much? You freak me out sometimes, Shawn." Steve stated. Shawn smiled in a cocky way. "I believe in faith so much because He helped me recover from my injury which kept me out of the ring for 4 years." Shawn told him and his cocky smile got bigger.

The cocky smile seemed to piss Steve Austin off. They continued to exchange words while Shane and Rob watched on. Nobody dared to try and stop them. Knowing Shawn and Steve, they would beat the crap out of whoever tried to break up the fight. "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Rob asked, trying to get his mind off of Shawn and Steve. "No. I don't." Shane answered. "You should calm down!" Shawn screamed. Steve growled at him. In response, Shawn smacked Steve.

Steve looked at Shawn and it seemed like he wanted to beat the piss out of him. Shawn stood in front of Steve with no fear in his eyes and stared. "Sorry, Shawn. I guess I should calm down." Steve admitted and rubbed his head. Shawn smirked and looked at a nearby clock. "Holy crap! Its 5 minutes until the show! See you guys later!" Shawn shouted, ran out of the cafeteria and headed towards his locker room. Shane, Steve and Rob heard a familiar voice scream 'Shawn watch...' Then there was a crashing noise, and the voice continued. '...Out...' The three poked their heads out of the cafeteria door to see Randy Orton and Ric Flair looking dead on the floor with Shawn struggling to stand up. He got up and continued his way down the hall.

"Where's the fire?" Triple H asked as he dodged Shawn. "In his pants." Randy replied and helped Ric up. "Insane moron... I never saw him like that... He must be happy about something..." Ric stated. Shane, Steve and Rob came out of the cafeteria to face Evolution. "Yeah, he's really happy that Raw is finally going to start." Steve told Evolution. "If we only knew why..." Rob thought out loud and looked down the hall towards Shawn's locker room.

Raw: On Air

Raw started in the usual way, but for some reason, people got a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Shawn's music blared over the loudspeakers. As he pranced out, J.R got that funny feeling in his gut. "I think something is going to happen to this man, King. I don't think it's good," J.R started. "What do you think is going to happen, J.R? Why are you so negative?" Jerry Lawler asked his co-commentator. "I don't know King. I have this feeling in my gut. Stop doodling in your drawing pad and pay attention for once, will you?" J.R asked King. King stopped drawing a beach in Hawaii and watched Shawn make his way to the ring.

Once in the ring, Shawn asked Lillian Garcia for a microphone. She handed it to him, and a smile he made gave her an uncertain feeling. She quickly got out of the ring and thought about the night and what was scheduled. She knew HBK and RVD would have a match for the tag titles. She got a feeling that HBK shouldn't be in the ring or at the arena. Kane had something to do with this weird gut feeling she had.

Shawn, however, ignored the threats from Kane and decided to continue with what he had in mind. "Triple H," He started, and sighed. "I know you're back there. I know you can hear me. I also know you hate me, but I want to ask you a question. It's not about the World Heavyweight Title, so don't worry. You can keep your stupid belt. I want to ask you a question. Man to man. If I were you, I would come out here before I just forget about the whole thing. I think you would be excited about this." Shawn stated and smiled.

He was surprised to see Triple H come out by himself. Shawn's one time best friend made his way to the ring and stood in front of Shawn. Triple H grabbed the mic out of Shawn's hand. "Obviously, Shawn, you're a smart guy. I do hate you, and you're wasting my time. So hurry up. What do you want?" Triple H asked. Shawn swiped the mic out of Triple H's hand. "I wanted to ask you something. This is important, and I think you would love the idea. Do you want to get a big pop and once again hear fans chant your name? Do you want to make them raise an eyebrow? Listen to this..." Shawn stated and whispered something in Triple H's ear.

Fans were confused by Triple H's reaction to Shawn's idea. He smiled. Not a cocky smile, but a smile that he once used in D-Generation X. Shawn backed up and looked at him. "What do you think? Yes or no? If you say no, I'll ask somebody else." Shawn told Triple H. "Well, Shawn, I think that it's a great..." Triple H started, but was interrupted by Vince McMahon. Vince seemed to be running from something, but once he got into the ring and saw Shawn and Triple H's dirty looks toward him, he became confused. "Michaels, shut the hell up for a minute about your brilliant idea and let me talk to the champ, okay? Triple H, we need to talk about your next title defense. I was thinking about Armageddon..." Vince tried to continue, but was interrupted by a loud explosion. Kane was on his way to the ring.

Vince seemed like a guilty guy. He jumped out of the ring and ran for his life. "McMahon is running like a scolded dog!" J.R screamed. Kane got into the ring and glared at Shawn and Triple H. Triple H and Shawn looked at each other and denied telling Kane to come out. They both believed each other and looked back at Kane. Kane locked eyes with Triple H, and then kicked Shawn in the face. Shawn rolled out of the ring in agony, and Triple H continued to stare down Kane. "Why the hell would you do that?" Triple H asked Kane.

Kane looked towards Shawn on the ground. He looked back at Triple H and smiled. "Because I can!" He shouted and kicked Triple H in the face. Kane quickly got out of the ring and kicked Shawn's head into the ring post. He then got handcuffs and handcuffed Triple H to the ropes. Kane picked up Shawn like a sack of potatoes and threw him in the ring. Kane bent down and picked up a steel chair. He threw that into the ring.

Kane got back in the ring and adjusted the chair so that the bottom of it was behind Shawn's head and the curved part around his neck. He glared over at Triple H, who looked on in horror. Kane jumped on the middle rope over by the ring post, and jumped off. He landed on the legs of the chair, which caused the chair to try and close. Unfortunately, HBK's neck was in the way. "NO! SHAWN!" Triple H screamed off the top of his lungs. "OH MY GOD!" King shouted. The fans in attendance and the rest of the superstars were shocked to see blood pour out of Shawn's mouth.

"SOMEBODY GET SOME HELP OUT HERE!" J.R shouted. Kane looked at Shawn and smiled. He laughed and looked at Triple H, who was clearly disgusted in what he just saw. "You bastard!" He shouted at Kane. Kane just laughed it off and left. He was about to go backstage when Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon, Steve Austin, and Ric Flair jumped out of behind the curtains. Ric and Steve ran to the ring while Shane and Rob pounded on Kane. Rob and Shane double drop-kicked Kane, who fell off the TitanTron. They ran down to the ring to help Ric and Steve.

"Steve, unlock the handcuffs!" Ric shouted. Steve was too busy with Shawn. "Shut up, Flair! I'm busy! Somebody call some damn EMT's!" Steve shouted. Rob found the key to the handcuffs under the ring. He gave them to Flair, who unlocked Triple H's handcuffs. Triple H crawled over to Shawn. "Shawn? You ok? Calm down!" Triple H shouted. Shawn seemed to be having difficulty breathing.

"Pin his arms down, I'm going to take the chair off of his head," Shane shouted. Steve and Rob pinned Shawn's arms to the ring so he couldn't move them. Shane slowly grabbed the chair and opened it. "Ric, keep his head steady. I don't want to hit him by accident." Shane stated. "You got it, McMahon." Ric declared, grabbing Shawn's head and keeping it straight. Shane took the chair off and threw it out of the ring. "We won't be needing that..." Rob joked. "Where the hell are the EMT's!" Steve shouted. Almost on cue, EMT's ran down to the ring.

The EMT's got Shawn on a stretcher in the same old way and got him to a nearby hospital. "This is not a happy day for Shawn Michaels and his family," J.R sadly stated. "Did you see that, J.R! That was horrible! I never seen anything like that! Wait... Hold on," Jerry held a hand over his microphone and J.R did the same. "Was that even scripted?" King asked J.R. "I have no clue..." J.R added. He and King looked at each other and then let go of the microphone on their headsets.

Backstage

Triple H rampaged in his locker room after the ambulance left. He couldn't believe what happened. It was hard for him to deal with it, especially since he was in the ring with Kane and Shawn when it happened. Ric Flair and Randy Orton came into Triple H's locker room. "Something wrong?" Triple H asked in an angry tone. He didn't want to be bothered with anything or anyone. All he wanted was revenge for his innocent friend.

"We know you want to be alone, Trips... We just think you should talk about it with somebody. Call the hospital and see if Mich... I mean Shawn is there... Go find Shane, Steve and Rob... They'll help." Ric told Triple H. Triple H looked at Randy Orton. Randy and Ric both had serious faces on. "Go talk to Steve, Rob and Shane. Hunter, it's the best thing you can do right now... Thank them for helping..." Randy stated. Triple H saw he was serious. So, he patted both men on the back and left the locker room.

He found Shane, Steve and Rob in the cafeteria, where they usually hung out before, during and after a show. "Guys," Triple H yelled to get their attention. All three men turned to see Triple H and waited for him to come over to where they were. The fans were now cheering Triple H. "What's up, dude?" Rob asked and smiled. Triple H gave a cheap, small smile and looked at Steve and Shane. "Any word on Shawn?" Steve asked. "I was going to ask you that. No, no word. Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for coming out there tonight. If it weren't for you attacking Kane at the ramp, he could've gotten second thoughts and came back to do something else... Like end Shawn's career... Or even mine... Anyway, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I'm sure Rebecca does too..." Triple H told Steve, Shane and Rob.

"No problem, dude. Anything for a friend." Rob responded. "Don't worry, Rebecca probably had her hands full with Cameron... She doesn't watch... According to Shawn..." Steve assured Triple H, who smiled a little bit. "I don't know what I would do without you guys... I mean... you could've saved Shawn's career..." Triple H slowly stated. "I'm sure that was a traumatizing experience for you." Shane said, speaking for the first time.

Out of no where, Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon arrived in the cafeteria. They went over to Triple H, Shane, Steve and Rob. "Who died?" Vince asked in a cocky way. The way he said it gave Triple H an idea. "Do you know anything about what happened, McMahon! Be honest before I beat your ass!" Triple H shouted. "Calm down, Triple H... Damn..." Steve said. "I don't know anything. I was on the phone with my wife when it happened. You can check my cell phone, I was on the phone with her since 9:00," Eric stated and handed Triple H the phone, proving his innocence. "See? I had nothing to do with it." Eric finished. "Are you finished, Eric? You finally done yapping? Good. Shut up." Shane angrily shouted.

"I only told Kane that Michaels was number one contender for the title. That's all I know," Eric yelled back at Shane. Rob looked at Steve, then back at Eric. "That was smart, dude... Real smart..." Rob said. "I told Kane if he wanted the title, he had to eliminate Michaels." Vince stated with an evil smile. "You did WHAT?" Eric yelled. Shane looked at his father and seemed to be very disappointed. "You let the biggest monster on Raw attack one of the best superstars on Raw! I thought you were better then that, dad... You truly are an ego maniac..." Shane stated through gritted teeth. Triple H grabbed Vince and rammed him up against the wall. "If Shawn is not able to speak, I will track you down and kill you myself! GOT THAT?" Triple H shouted. He threw Vince to the floor and watched him scramble away.

"I swear I didn't know... I swear... Listen, I'll try to make it up to you, Triple H... Um... Anything you need, I'll be in my office... Update me on Shawn." Eric stated and walked away. As he walked out of the cafeteria, they heard him mutter 'What a scum, I can't believe Vince would do that...' to himself. "Well, well, well... What do you think about that?" Rob asked. Steve stared at the wall where Triple H rammed Vince against. "I can't believe McMahon would do that... What a scum... For once, Bischoff is right..." Steve muttered. Shane looked at Triple H. He felt bad for his brother-in-law. He knew how close Triple H and Shawn were behind the cameras and away from the ring. They were like brothers, but even closer then that.

"Demand a match," Shane said, all of a sudden. "What? How is a match going to help us here?" Austin asked. "I don't know... But demand a match, Trips... Anything you can come up with... Maybe a 29 on 1 match... You know... Any Raw superstar who wants revenge can beat on Kane..." Shane stated. Triple H looked at Shane and smiled. "Dude, you're a genius! I would kiss you, but I don't go that way... I'll kiss Stephy instead... Well... Um... You get it..." Triple H stated and ran towards Eric's office. Rob ran after him to stop him. "Call to see if Shawn's ok first... He's more important right now..." Rob told Triple H, who nodded his head.

"You're right..." Triple H stated and walked away. He pulled out his cell phone and called the hospital to check up on Shawn. Shane's cell phone rang. "Who is it?" Steve asked. Shane looked at the cell phone and his eyes widened. "Rebecca... Hickenbottom... Otherwise known to us as our worst nightmare..." Shane stated and looked at Rob and Steve. "Pick it up, dude... Don't make her wait..." Rob yelled. Shane nodded his head in agreement and picked up the phone.

"Hello? Yeah... This is Shane McMahon... Hey Rebecca... Uh... Yeah, I know what happened... How do you know? Oh... You saw it... Cameron went to bed early? Oh... You saw it with his parents? SHIT! Uh, no, I spilled coffee on my shirt... Yeah, it really burned... Um, I don't know... We're checking up on him now. I'll call you later, ok? Don't panic, he'll be ok. Talk to you soon. Bye." Shane hung up the cell phone and looked at Rob and Steve in horror. "She saw it?" Steve asked. Rob looked at him and went over to Triple H. "Did you get through?" Rob asked. "No, all I'm getting is static. I need to borrow Shane's cell phone." Triple H stated and walked over to Shane.

"Shane? Can I borrow your cell? Dude, what happened?" Triple H asked. "Rebecca... Saw what happened... She saw it with... Richard and Carol Hickenbottom... We're screwed if you don't get an update... In a half an hour..." Shane slowly spat out. "This sucks either way we look at it. If he's ok, he definitely won't be able to talk for a short time... If he's not ok... He won't ever be able to talk again... Either way... his family saw it. That's what matters!" Steve shouted.

Triple H grabbed Steve by the shirt and started yanking him back and forth. "Don't you say that!" He shouted. "Dude, calm down and call the hospital!" Rob screamed as he and Shane got Triple H off of Steve's shirt. Triple H apologized and walked away with Shane's cell phone and called the hospital. "You ok, Steve?" Shane asked. "Yeah. I can understand the son of a bitch is upset, but he better control himself before I open up a can of whoop ass... On him..." Steve said under his breath.

"Hello, this is Paul Levesque calling to check up on a new patient... Um, his name is Shawn Hickenbottom and he just came from the Houston Astrodome... Yeah, the wrestler... Oh? A what! Oh geze... Is he going to be ok? Ok... Thanks..." Triple H stated and hung up. "Well?" Rob asked. Triple H walked over to Shane and gave him back his cell phone.

"Crushed larynx... Either that or major throat injuries... I'm going to fucking kill your dad, Shane... I swear..." Triple H began, but Shane interrupted him. "You know what Shawn would say about swearing." He shouted. "Right... Now you can go demand a match from Bischoff." Rob said, hoping it would boost Triple H's spirits. Triple H walked towards Eric's office. "We better follow him." Steve announced, as he, Rob and Shane chased after Triple H.

Eric Bischoff's Office

Eric was doodling in a notebook about Raw and the superstars when Triple H slammed the door open and walked in. Eric jumped up and looked at him. "How can I help you? Any update on Shawn?" Eric asked, noticing that a camera was on them. "Yeah, major throat injuries, possibly a crushed larynx... They'll know more later... Anyway, I want a friggin match!" Triple H yelled. Shane, Rob and Steve ran into the locker room and stood beside Triple H.

"What kind of match? Cage? Hell in a Cell? Lumberjack? Tell me!" Eric shouted towards Triple H. He glared at Eric, who sat down. "I want a 29 on 1 match with Kane." Triple H yelled. "29 on 1? What are you thinking!" Steve asked. Triple H looked at him and growled. "I don't think he was talking to you..." Shane stated, offering his word on advice for Steve Austin.

"29 on 1! What do you mean," Eric asked. Triple H looked back at Eric. "29 on 1. Meaning 29 of us NORMAL superstars against Kane. Do you understand now? Or do I have to spell it out to you?" Triple H asked Eric. "29 on 1, huh? Almost all the superstars against Kane? I like the idea... You got your match. Now get the hell out of my office!" Eric yelled. Triple H turned around to face Steve, Shane and Rob. He turned back around and saw that Eric had stood up, so Triple H punched him. Eric fell into the chair and the chair flipped over.

He stormed out of the locker room and into the hallway. Shane, Steve and Rob followed him. "Trips, I got your back. I'll help you." Shane told him. "Thanks a lot, Shane." Triple H stated. "I'm helping too." Rob shouted. "Stop babbling. We have to round up the Raw superstars and ask them for their help." Steve yelled.

10 minutes later...

Cafeteria

Almost all of the Raw superstars were gathered in the cafeteria. Superstars ranging from Rene Dupree to Spike Dudley were there. Triple H quieted down the guys and went to talk. "Listen guys, I demanded this match for any of us who want to get some revenge against Kane. I know not all of you like me, or Shawn for that matter... But I'm asking for your help. Putting aside our differences for one night only. What Kane did tonight to Shawn was wrong, and I won't stand for it. Kane has been acting like a monster for months, and I can't believe he went this far. Are you guys going to help me or what!" Triple H shouted. In response, every Raw superstar shouted "Yes!"

Shane helped Triple H off a table he was standing on. Triple H looked at the superstars and saw Goldberg standing in front of him. "Hey Bill." Shane said and walked away. "I'm sorry to hear about what happened, Triple H. But when this is all said and done, I want to challenge you for the title." Goldberg stated. "I know, Bill... I know... Let's just take care of this first... This match is all that matters to me right now." Triple H told Goldberg and walked away. Goldberg noticed that there was something much different about Triple H.

The superstars were getting ready for their match when the cafeteria door busted open. Triple H, Shane, Rob and Steve were shocked to see who was standing there. "Hey guys. Heard there was a match. Am I invited?" Triple H smiled and ran to the man who was out of action for a few months. Randy Orton and Ric Flair joined him. "Hey, Batista!" Ric yelled. "Of course you're invited. We need all the help we could get." Randy stated. Shane walked over to Evolution. "You'll be happy to hear this..." Shane stated and whispered something in Triple H's ear. It was another surprise return of a superstar...

Match: 29 on 1

Raw Locker room vs. Kane

There were 29 opponents Kane had to face. They were Mark Henry, Rodney Mack, Spike Dudley, Rene Dupree, Rob Conway, Sylvain Grenier, Christian, Tyson Tomko, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Goldberg, D-Von Dudley, Bubba Dudley, Booker T, Hurricane, Rosey, Steven Richards, Tommy Dreamer, Garrison Cade, Mark Jindrak, Val Venis, Tajiri, Rhyno, Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon, Triple H, Batista and another special appearance.

It was going to start like a Royal Rumble match. Kane started out the match with Spike, Rene and Rob Conway. As Kane kept eliminating superstars, 3 more jumped in. Goldberg gave Kane the most trouble, but he was eliminated. Kane couldn't wait to get his hands on Triple H, Rob Van Dam and Shane McMahon. It came time for them to jump in the ring right after Tommy Dreamer, Booker T and Rhyno were eliminated. Kane eliminated Rob with no problem, and only one superstar was left. Batista jumped in the ring and tried to stop Kane from eliminating Shane and Triple H.

As soon as Batista jumped in the ring, Kane grabbed both Triple H and Shane for a choke slam over the top rope. Batista tried to get Kane to let go, but was kicked in the face for his efforts. Kane threw Shane over the top rope, thinking there wasn't any more superstars to face him. He figured he would leave a small portion of Shane left for that Sunday at Armageddon. He dropped Triple H on the ground and stared him down.

"You want ME to pay, huh? You have a lot to learn about pain. You want to go and see Shawn?" Kane asked in that freaky voice of his. Triple H just stared at him. Batista came from behind Kane and jumped on his back. He knocked Kane down and started to beat him with a series of right hands. "Where is he?" Triple H mumbled to himself, regarding the last entry superstar for this match. Triple H and Batista started to double team Kane. "If you smell... what The Rock... is cookin!" The fans went nuts when they saw The Rock run down the ramp and help Batista and Triple H eliminate Kane.

Shane and Rob jumped back in the ring and congratulated Triple H, Batista and The Rock. Steve drove down to the ring on his 'Sheriff Mobile' to party after the match. "That was for Shawn." The Rock told Triple H. "Thanks Rocky. I owe you," Triple H stated and looked at Shane, who smiled innocently. "So, you got The Rock to come all the way to Houston to help us with Kane? Dude, you're insane, but you're my brother in law and I love you!" Triple H shouted and hugged Shane. Steve came in the ring with a cooler full of beer and drank with Batista, The Rock, Shane, Triple H, Rob, Ric and Randy.

Preview: Armageddon: Kane will face Shane McMahon in a 'Love Her or Leave Her Inferno Match.' How will this match turn out and what surprise does Shane have in store for Kane? Will Shawn Michaels be involved? Or is another 'monster' willing to return to get revenge on Kane?
