A video package on Shawn Michaels' injury storyline was shown.

Shawn Michaels came out to the ring, accompanied by his wife Rebecca (who, for you trivia buffs, was Nitro Girl Whisper). Shawn took the mic and thanked the fans for their support. Shawn talked about his various back problems and his more recent injuries, and said he had been advised by doctors to retire. Shawn said he was taking their advice, and stepping away from the ring. Shawn talked about his career, saying he was known as the "Showstopper" and "Mr. Wrestlemania". He said he was also the man who screwed Bret Hart, formed D-Generation X, innovated the ladder match, retired Ric Flair, and lost his smile. Michaels said now he was going to devote himself to being a full-time father and husband. Shawn's wife was crying. Shawn continued to speak, and Chris Jericho's music hit. Chris Jericho walked out, wearing a suit. Jericho said "No". Jericho then said that he wasn't allowing Shawn Michaels to combine his injuries into one story and retire with dignity. He said he wanted Michaels to admit that he was the reason Michaels was retiring. Jericho said he had "earned the ring" to hear Michaels admit that Jericho had retired him. Jericho said he wanted Michaels' epitaph to read that he was forced to retire by Chris Jericho. Michaels said that he would do it, and he would tell his family that his career was ended by a "vile, worthless human being". Michaels then said he wanted Jericho to tell his family that "Daddy will never, ever be Shawn Michaels". Michaels and Jericho went nose to nose, and Rebecca pleaded with Michaels to go. Jericho went to punch Michaels, but he moved and Jericho knocked out Rebecca with a punch to the face. Michaels checked on his wife, and Jericho slowly left the ring, looking a bit confused. Michaels glared at Jericho as medics came in to check on his wife. She eventually sat up and left the ring on her own power.

Winner: The Undertaker

They cut to the back, where La Familia were applauding the result. Undertaker walked off, then stopped and walked back to the ring as Edge was starting to move on the mat. Undertaker set up a ladder, then lifted Edge powerbomb-style and placed him on it. Undertaker then took out a second ladder and set it up next to the first. Undertaker climbed the ladders, and pulled up the slumping Edge. Undertaker said "Now, you're going to hell" and slashed his throat. Undertaker gave Edge a chokeslam off the ladders, and Edge went through the mat. Literally, as in the mat ripped open and Edge went through the ring.
