Matt Hardy vs. Maven
Maven's music hit in the arena and he made his way out and Batista was still in the ring with Ric Flair and Earl Hebner and Jack Doan were in the ring trying to talk Batista into leaving the ring but he remained in the ring with the Nature Boy. With Batista in the ring, Maven was reluctant to get in the ring for his one on one match with Matt Hardy.

Batista then gave Maven a power bomb and then he lifted him up and gave him another one as Matt Hardy remained in the aisle way, looking on at the carnage in the ring. WWE officials and the trainer got in the ring and attended to Maven as he was down and out and noticeably bleeding from the mouth. Matt Hardy got in the erring and referee Jack Doan told him to back it off and then Jack Doan went to the ring announcer and told her that because of the condition Maven is in, he will not be able to wrestle tonight. Therefore, the match between Matt Hardy and Maven will not take place. Matt Hardy gave Maven a big splash and then he counted a pinfall in favor of himself to give himself the victory over Maven. Matt Hardy then got out of the ring and grabbed a mic and announced himself as the winner of this match!
Batista was shown backstage with Ric Flair and Batista was going nuts, saying that he is better than Shawn Michaels. Flair agreed, saying that Batista has it. He's a man's man and he's seen them all come and go and Batista has that special thing in him that's going to make him the man. Everybody stumbles and we all trip but the good ones get back up and the good ones get back in the game. You walk out in that arena with your head held high and he left someone lying. Forget about Shawn Michaels, they'll get him another day. Right now, Flair has something special for him. They're walking out of here with title belts around their waist.
