Todd Grisham interviewed Shawn Michaels backstage. He said Lance Cade was good and he knew that ten years ago when he trained him. Grisham asked Shawn if Batista would be his partner. Shawn finally acknowledged his sketchy past with Batista. Without saying names, he teased Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, and Bret Hart. He said he decided on a tag team partner “that actually likes me.”
Degeneration X defeated Chris Jericho and Lance Cade by disqualification in 4:56. Michaels’ music played first and DX’s music followed. Cole repeatedly said, “No way, no way.” Triple H and Shawn Michaels came out and did the DX pyro crotch chop on the stage. Cade and Jericho traded the offensive advantage on Michaels. Jericho missed a moonsault on Michaels and both men made hot tags. H hit a series of high knees and followed that up with a spinebuster on Cade. Triple H tried a Pedigree but Jericho hit the Code Breaker. Michaels attacked Jericho but Cade turned him inside out with a clothesline. They double teamed Michaels and the referee called for the bell. Weak. Jericho brought out a ladder but Triple H chased him off with a sledgehammer. Cade ate a sledgehammer shot to the abdomen, followed by Sweet Chin Music and a Pedigree. Jericho set up the ladder, climbed it, pointed with Jericho, and hit a splash reminiscent of the one he hit on Scott Hall at Wrestlemania X. Jericho looked on in disgust as DX’s music blared.
