Angle comes down to ringside, he addresses Brock, he said that he told Brock man to man that he doesn't apologise for beating him for the title, because Angle lives for the belt. But he didn't come out here to tonight to ask for the assistence of Vince McMahon, because he fights his battles on his own. He vows revenge the old fashion way, finding his subject and kicking his ass. Kurt didn't come to Smackdown! for a match, he came for a fight with Lesnar, and Vince. He'll fight em both at the same time, makes no difference. Kurt isn't going anywhere until someone obliges to his demands.

Vince McMahon's music hits, he grabs the mic. He's impressed that Angle is looking for a fight, but it's not about what Angle wants, it's not about what the fans want, in this business it's about one thing, what Vince McMahon wants. Vince states that there will be no fight between Angle and Lesnar, or even McMahon himself. Angle tells Vince to come to the ring and tell him to his face.

Vince says that if he came face to face with Angle, Kurt would do something he would regret. If Angle comes near McMahon or Lesnar before Summer Slam, Angle is subject to immediate suspension, stripping of the belt, and getting fired. But McMahon still provides Angle with an opponent tonight, The Big Show! The Show's music then hits, as he comes down to stand beside McMahon on the ramp. Vince says, be careful what you wish for...

Angle tries to explain something to Vince, "He says he wants a fight, and he not going anywhere until he gets one. "Screw a 'match' with Big Show," Kurt wants a 'fight.' He then runs down to the ramp to attack the waiting Big Show. He knocks Show to the floor with hammering right hanbds, as officials are forced to pull him away.


Backstage, Big Show & Vince discuss the match, as Vince tries to control the Big Show from destroying the dressing room. They both agree on a Falls Count Anywhere Street Fight.

Because of a scuffle outside between Kidman and Moore, the ref then orders Kidman to leave ringside catches him with a steel chair in hand and hears the sound. Commercial break.
