The show opened with Ref, Earl Hebner knocking on a
door to collect the World Heavyweight Championship title belt from Bobby Roode
so that it could be hung up in the air ready for tonight’s main event. Still
annoyed at Hulk Hogan for allowing RVD to pick the stipulation for his title
shot, Roode rambled on at Earl and asked why Hogan himself didn’t go to collect
his belt for the match which he didn’t want. He handed the belt over to Hebner
and told him to go hang it up before stating that he’ll have it back real soon.
