Chris Benoit vs. Fit Finlay (US title match)

Benoit had the advantage early on in the match, only to have Finlay take over by going after Benoit's knee. The Rabid Wolverine, after a failed attempt, capped off three back suplexes in row. His knee looked to be bothering him. He missed a flying headbutt, which Finlay used to his advantage by taking the top tunrbuckle padding off. With the ref's back turned, Finlay went under the ring, looking for the Little Bastard/ The little guy, for some reason, wasn't coming out. This almost caused Finlay to get counted out. Out of nowhere, The Boogeyman's music is played, and the worm-eater emerges from under the ring with the Little Bastard and begin to carry him off to the back. With Finlay distracted, Benoit rolled him up for the victory.

Winner: Chris Benoit.

After the match, Finlay chases the Little Bastard. They get into an arguement and the LB tries to run away. The Boogeyman, however, was standing at the entrance, is LB is caught between the two men.

Batista comes down to the ring in a suit. He states how all week, people have been asking him "Can you beat the Uhdertaker?" He welcomes the challenge and wants to know, man to man, what the Deadman's decision is/ At this point, John Cena makes his was to the ring, saying he's here for the same reason as Batista. Cena recalls his past week, from his match with Umaga, to winning the tag belts with Shawn Michaels, to nearly getting superkicked after his match by his partner, to Undertaker amking a surpirse appearance on Raw seemingly wanting Cena's belt.
