Seconds later, Paul Heyman makes his second appearance of the night.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Triple H demanding a title shot, i'm getting a sense of deja vu, and I guess i'm not the only one. Triple H....The Game..."The King Of Kings", I will agree with you on some things there, RAW is superior to SmackDown in every way possible, and none of the SmackDown guys can touch you, but I, and everyone else out the back, are sick of you coming out here and telling everyone how good you are, and thinking the WWE title is your property. The WWE title is now my property, and you will soon learn that what I say goes, and treat me with the respect I deserve."

"When I said all the titles will be on the line tonight, I forgot to mention the card is subject to change, and change it will. You will have to work for your title shot, but may I warn you, it's not going to be easy" Heyman reveals with a smirk.
"For we will have ourselves an 8 man Gold Rush tournament, with the eventual winner being rewarded with the WWE title. That will start, right here, tonight!"
"Oh, and before I go, I guess now would be an appropriate time to announce the first participant in the Gold Rush tournament. That man will obviously be none other than......................................................................
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels."
*Triple H, furious with the decision, storms out of the ring and grabs a steel chair*
"Oh, Triple H, you should save your energy for later tonight, because my instincts tell me you're going to need it. You see, as you're so eager to grace my ring with your presence, you will be competing tonight, in not one, but two matches. The first match will be a qualifying match for the Gold Rush tournament, and that will be against The Nature Boy, Ric Flair. That match is next!"
*Triple H smashes the steel chair against the mat, and points threateningly at Heyman*
