Kurt Angle's music hits as he makes his way down to the ring. Angle grabs the mic, he says he came out here tonight not to wrestle but to make a point. He talks about how he lost the title three months ago, but at Vengeance he'll have a chance to win it back again. He said that he'll face two of the most dominating men today, Brock Lesnar and the Big Show. He said "It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be brutal, but I've got three words for you guys, bring it on!" Before he could say anymore, he's interupted by John Cena's music.
Cena has a mic in hand, and goes on to say that Kurt is forgetting Cena, questioning if Kurt has rocks in his brains? As he goes on into his signature raps. He says that the real main event at the PPV is John Cena VS The Undertaker.
He goes on to say that Kurt isn't his equal, because Cena is like Terminator 3, while Kurt is like the Legally Blond Sequel. Kurt grabs the mic and says that he didn't think it was possible, but John Cena is even whiter than he is. Kurt says that he respects Cena, but Kurt is multi talented, experienced in all styles, but sometimes he likes to kick it free style. He then said that he's willing to try and out rap Cena. Kurt then asks Earl Hebner's son to give him a rap beat over the mic, and Earl's son proceeds.
Kurt goes on to rap: "My name is Kurt Angle and what the heck, I won a gold medal with a fricking broken neck. You better step off because we ain't friends, I'm moving on up like the Jefferson's. You don't scare me no, no, no, I may suck but you just blow!" Cena then starts having a fit, saying that it's obvious that Kurt never majored in thuganomics, Kurt then gives Cena a quick hug. Cena questions what that was, and Kurt says that "Cena obviously hasn't majored in hugganomics, eastside!" Kurt then says that he'll be straight up and wont take his crap.
Suddenly The Big Show's music hits, as he makes his way to the ring. Show creates enough of a distraction allowing Cena to attack Angle with the FU finisher. Then Show picks up what's left of Kurt and sets him up for the ride with a chokeslam.
