Booker says the match is on and that is that.

----------

Damien Sandow gracing us with his presence.

He details his unsuccessful run in trying to find an apprentice in brilliant fashion, describing it as "looking for a needle in a haystack." A knuckle-dragging, simple haystack at that.

He asks that we all stand in silence so he can introduce his mustachioed best friend and tag partner, Cody Rhodes.

Cody says it is an honor to be standing in the ring with Sandow again and that anyone that drives to drive a wedge between the two...

Well, they are interrupted by The Usos.

He tells Big Show that it is all there in black and white and that he has a legitimate claim. Big Show asks him to use that Harvard degree for him. Otunga obliges and decides they should do it publicly.

That will be next.

----------

Show and Otunga in the ring.

Show says that everyone there saw Sheamus lay his hands on him and that there will be no chairs match for the World Heavyweight Championship at TLC because of this. He says if Booker T won't listen to him, he will perhaps listen to his legal council.

Otunga says that Show entered a legally binding contract last week and that Booker T has chosen to play by his own rules as he went along. He says Booker is a biased GM and they have no choice but to go to the WWE Board of Directors to cancel the match at TLC and request Booker's removal.

Booker enters.

Booker says Otunga's degree isn't worth the paper it was printed on, as the action is determined by intent and not the literal interpretation. Otunga objects, but Booker tells him to go ahead and file his complaint that will waste everyone's time. Booker stands by his decision.

Otunga says that just because Booker went to prison doesn't mean he is a legal expert. He says he will see to it that both he and Sheamus are fired.

Sheamus enters with a chair and makes a beeline to the ring. Sheamus says that if the contract is invalid, then there is no reason he can't kick his "arse" right then and there.

Of course, that is a threat, but hey, we all know Sheamus is a good guy, right?

Show stutters that the contract is still valid and leaves the ring.

Of course, Sheamus turns and Brogue Kicks Otunga.
WHAT A GOOD FELLA!
