Bischoff that he wants Regal to leave Raw forever. But because of the board of directors Bischoff cannot just kick him out. So Bischoff has thought of an idea to fix all this. Because William Regal will have a match at Vengeance, the stipulation is if William Regal loses then he leaves Raw and stays on Smackdown. And William Regal's opponent at Vengeance is none other than me, Eric Bischoff. Bischoff also announces another stipulation to the match and that is if Regal wins he becomes the GM of Raw and can still be an active-wrestler on Smackdown.

Bischoff says that Jericho is injured and is not in any condition to wrestle here tonight. Bischoff goes on to say that if Jericho really wants a re-match against Triple H then he's got it, at Vengeance, the fans give Bischoff alot of heat for posponing this match. Bischoff says the only way Jericho will face Triple H Vengeance is to decide have a match, but because Jericho is hurt then he has an idea to fix this. Tonight, Jericho will pick a Raw Superstar to represent him, and Triple H will pick another Raw superstar, and these two superstars will face each other, and if the person representing Jericho wins, then at Vengeance Jericho will take on Triple H in a # 1 contenders match for the World Heavyweight Title at Vengeance.

Chris Benoit is still in the ring and we now see him walking around the ring with a mic before standing in the middle of the ring. Benoit began to talk about Edge attacking him last week. Benoit goes on to say that he had to have 12 stitches on his head because of Edge's violent attack. Benoit says that he has to defend the World Heavyweight Title against Kane at Vengeance and not Edge, but his personal problems with Edge is far from over. Benoit goes on to call out Edge down to the ring and fight him right here, right now, man to man. But instead of Edge coming out, out came Eric Bischoff. Bischoff says that Edge will not be coming down to the ring because he has told Edge to stay in the back. Bischoff goes on to talk about what happened last week. Last week Bischoff told Edge that he needs to prove himself worthy enough to get a title shot at Vengeance, and well what he did last week was enough to earn him a World Title Match. So Bischoff has changed the match at Vengeance, because at Vengeance Chris Benoit will be defending his World Heavyweight Title against Kane and Edge in a Triple Thread.................No Disqualification Match! Bischoff says that he is sick and tired of seeing Benoit as the Champ, and this way, he is almost guaranteed that Benoit will not be leaving Vengeance as the World Heavyweight Champion.
And with no warning out came Edge who stand next to Bischoff in the entrance way. Edge starts to thank Eric Bischoff for giving him this chance. Edge goes on to tell Benoit that he is the most deserving superstar on Raw. Edge starts talking about for over a year he had to stay in his house while he watched Benoit win the Royal Rumble, he was forced to watch Benoit defeat both Shawn Michaels and Triple H to win the World Heavyweight Title. Edge says that he was forced to watch this while he laid in bed injured. But now that Edge is back, he is promising to accomplish his dreams and his dreams start with winning the World Heavyweight Title, and at Vengeance is dream will come true. Edge was about to continue talking until Benoit interrupted him and said that he is tired of talking, and talk is over, and now, its time for fighting, and the fight begins right now. All of a sudden Benoit rolled out of the ring as he went up the entrance ramp. Bischoff ran to the back as both Edge and Benoit began to fight. They both exchanged punches all the way down to the ring. Both men fought at ringside when an explosion exploded at the entrance area and out came Kane. Kane charged both Benoit and Edge and clotheslined both of them. Kane looked at both men trying to decide who will he sacrifice. Kane then grabs Benoit by the neck and drags his body to the back while Edge was at ringside trying to get up from the clothesline he received from Kane. The cameras take us to the back where we see Kane tying up Benoit on some steel pipes. Both his hands are tied as Kane grabs a gasoline tank. Kane looked at Benoit's eyes and told him.....Welcome to Hell! Kane began to boor the gasoline all over Benoit. Kane then took out a match, he was about to turn the match on when security ran in and stand in front of Kane along with Bischoff. Bischoff told Kane that if he burns Benoit, not only will he lose his World Heavyweight Title Match at Vengeance, but he will also get arrested. Kane gets angry as he walks away while security tried to untie Benoit.

But before Orton could announce his opponent out came Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin entered the ring with a mic. Benjamin told Orton that for two years he has been talking about being the "Legend Killer". For two years he has proven why Orton is a great Intercontinental Champion, but he's not the best. Because at Vengeance Shelton Benjamin will acomplish his dreams by winning the Intercontinental Title. Orton gets face to face with Benjamin and tells him that Benjamin is just an underdog and that this dog will be his bitch before Vengeance ends. Benjamin smiles and backs off. All of a sudden both Shelton Benjamin and Randy Orton began to fight until at least 10 referees came out and broke up the fight. The referee's told Benjamin to leave and so he did.

Last week Bischoff told Edge that he needs to prove himself worthy enough to get a title shot at Vengeance, and well what he did last week was enough to earn him a World Title Match. So Bischoff has changed the match at Vengeance, because at Vengeance Chris Benoit will be defending his World Heavyweight Title against Kane and Edge in a Triple Thread.................No Disqualification Match! Bischoff says that he is sick and tired of seeing Benoit as the Champ, and this way, he is almost guaranteed that Benoit will not be leaving Vengeance as the World Heavyweight Champion.

But now that Edge is back, he is promising to accomplish his dreams and his dreams start with winning the World Heavyweight Title, and at Vengeance is dream will come true. Edge was about to continue talking until Benoit interrupted him and said that he is tired of talking, and talk is over, and now, its time for fighting, and the fight begins right now. All of a sudden Benoit rolled out of the ring as he went up the entrance ramp. Bischoff ran to the back as both Edge and Benoit began to fight. They both exchanged punches all the way down to the ring. Both men fought at ringside when an explosion exploded at the entrance area and out came Kane.

The cameras take us to the back where we see Kane tying up Benoit on some steel pipes. Both his hands are tied as Kane grabs a gasoline tank. Kane looked at Benoit's eyes and told him.....Welcome to Hell! Kane began to boor the gasoline all over Benoit. Kane then took out a match, he was about to turn the match on when security ran in and stand in front of Kane along with Bischoff. Bischoff told Kane that if he burns Benoit, not only will he lose his World Heavyweight Title Match at Vengeance, but he will also get arrested.
