- Backstage, the Posse run into Rikishi in the bathroom. He has seemingly unleashed the turd of doom as the Posse act disgusted. Rikishi gets pissed and attacks Rodney, the rest of the Posse attack but Rikishi scares them off. The camera pans to him and he for some reason is panting like a dog in mating season. What a strange segment.

- The Holly's come down to ringside. Hardcore has a mic. He says the crowd need to shut up and listen to him. The announcers act bored. Hah, even the announcers hate Bob Holly. Holly says he beat Y2J and Chyna clean so he should be the IC champion. He says he doesn't give a rats ass who it is, but one of them should come out and accept his challenge. Chyna makes her way out. Chyna tells him she accepts. Chyna says she will kick Holly's ass. Jericho's music hits and he comes down. Jericho tells Chyna he has no doubt she is tough. However, he says he wants the shot at the Rumble, not Chyna. Holly says they both can't accept, so he proposes a triple threat match. Chyna accepts and so does Jericho. He starts to talk about his Jericholics but Holly interrupts him. He says there will never, EEEEVVVER, be any doubt that Holly will win at the Rumble.
