Non Title Match - Trish Stratus vs. Molly Holly
Molly Holly made her way out to the ring and she's scheduled to defend the Women's Title against Victoria but after what happened earlier tonight to Victoria, this match is uncertain. Molly took the mic and said just to be clear, since Victoria can't compete tonight but Molly can, then she guesses Victoria loses her title shot and Molly officially becomes the winner by forfeit. Molly then asked Lilian to declare Molly the winner. Theodore Long appeared on the Titantron and he said no one declaring anything. Victoria can't go, but there's nothing he likes better than a couple white girls beating the hell out of each other. Molly won't be defending the title tonight but she will be in the ring with another white girl and they'll be getting it on right now! Trish Stratus then made her way out to the ring and this is a non title match.
As Trish tried to get in the ring, Molly charged at her and knocked her down from the ring apron with a hard knee. Molly then got out of the ring and grabbed Trish and rolled her into the ring to officially start the match.

Trish went to the top rope and Jazz came out and shoved Trish down and then beat up on her and then Molly grabbed Trish by the head and slammed it into the mat.
Jazz held onto Trish for Molly but Jazz kicked Molly in the gut and tossed her out of the ring. Jazz then lifted Trish in the chicken wing and then dropped her right down to the mat.
Jazz then put Trish in the STF and Chris Jericho hit the ring to scare Jazz out of the ring. Trish then got up and looked at Jericho and let the ring upset, saying she's not stupid and that she's not going to fall for Jericho's trap again.

Chris Jericho was shown knocking on Trish's door and he told her she has to come out and talk to him. They can't keep going on this way. Chris said if she's not coming out, he's coming in. Chris said that he sees she's in the shower, so he's not going to look. Chris said this all started out as a bet and a joke but the joke was on Chris because somewhere along the way, he really fell for her. All the moments they shared were real for him and he doesn't blame her if she doesn't want to talk to him or believe him. He was a jerk and he apologizes. He just wants to be a part of her life. He just wanted to come and tell her this and get it off his chest. He can't keep going on like this. Chris said that he had to tell her this, he had to tell her how he really feels about her. Unfortunately for Chris Jericho, someone else was in the shower and it was none other than Mae Young.
Mae said that she didn't know Chris felt like this and she started coming onto Chris but Chris got grossed out and he left the room.
Kane's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring. Kane took the mic and said that in less than three weeks, there's an event called the Royal Rumble. The winner gets a World Title shot at Wrestlemania and Kane has never won the Royal Rumble and that angers him because he should have won every Rumble that he's entered. But he's made simple mistakes. In the past, he was always worried about being cheered by the fans, a bunch of insects. But that's not a mistake that he'll make again. And then last year, he made another mistake. He trusted someone. Take a look... They showed footage from last year's Royal Rumble where the Undertaker and Kane were seen in the ring and Kane seemed to trust his brother but the Undertaker grabbed Kane and launched him out of the ring. Kane said that last year, he should have won the Royal Rumble. It should have been him wrestling for the World Title at Wrestlemania but because of the Undertaker, Kane got nothing! But that's never going to happen again because his brother the Undertaker is gone because Kane buried him alive! But then there's the man who got his World Title shot at Wrestlemania last year, Booker T. Well last week, Kane sent a message to Booker T. He used Booker T to make a statement that this year, he will not be denied. He will enter the Royal Rumble and he will win the Royal Rumble and then he will take his rightful place at Wrestlemania and there's not a soul alive who is going to stop him.
Booker T's music hit in the arena and he stormed to the ring and hammered away on Kane with a number of right hands until Kane fired back with a hard right hand of his own. Kane backed Booker T into the corner and gave him some elbows and right hands and then he whipped Booker to the other side of the ring and grabbed him by the throat and went for the choke slam but Booker gave Kane a low blow and then went off the ropes and kicked him in the chest. Booker then charged at Kane to knock him out of the ring with a hard clothesline. Booker took the mic and said that nobody makes an example out of Booker T. Check it out, it's on. This year, he enters the Royal Rumble with two goals. One, to throw Kane's big Uncle Fester looking ass over the top rope. Second goal is winning the Royal Rumble and heading straight to Wrestlemania as the top dog. Now can you dig that, sucka?!
