The fireworks went off in the arena for the start of Smackdown! and Michael Cole and Tazz kicked it off on commentary and we are just ten days away from No Mercy on pay per view!
Linda McMahon's Wrestlemania music hit in the arena and she made her way out to the ring as the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment!
Linda got in the ring and took the mic and said that things have always been pretty bizarre with the McMahon Family. Just when she thought it couldn't get any more bizarre, she's watching this past Monday night and couldn't believe her eyes to see what Shane has done to Kane. And then last week on Smackdown!, she sees her husband, pick up their daughter and body slam her in this ring! And now, there's an I Quit Match between her husband and her daughter at No Mercy? Linda knows and has tried to talk some sense into Vince and she knows she can't do that, but she's hoping she can talk some sense into Stephanie.
Stephanie's music hit and she made her way out to the ring and said that she appreciates Linda coming out here and she knows why she's here. Stephanie didn't know her father was going to go through with this match but after what he did last week, she knows she can't back down. She's not going to let Vince win, not like this. And Stephanie doesn't care what he does to her at No Mercy, she will ... Vince McMahon's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring with the Vince McMahon stagger in tact.
Vince took the mic and said what do we have here? We have his daughter Stephanie and surprise, surprise, his charming wife Linda. What is she doing here? Meddling in his business again, trying to talk Stephanie out of this match. Stephanie had her chance to get out of this match lat week. He gave her a second chance. But now Vince wouldn't let her out of this match if she got on her knees and begged him. No, because at No Mercy, she's forcing him into doing something he really doesn't want to do. Vince is a loving father and he doesn't want to have to do to her what she's making him do. But she's gonna make him brutalize her, that's what she's gonna do. She's forcing him to brutalize her and when it happens, he's going to have a clear conscience.
Vince can't explain this, but when it happens, his soul will be cleansed. He's going to feel good about it because she's forcing him to do it just like her mother forced him to sire a second child years ago. Linda took the mic and said that Vince is twice her size and twice her strength but putting that aside, don't you think this match is a little bit unfair? If Stephanie loses and says "I quit," she resigns as the General Manager of Smackdown!. But what is Vince putting on the line if she should win? Vince said that he's the chairman of this company and he doesn't have to give up a damn thing. Linda asked Vince if he's afraid his daughter just might beat him? Vince said that he's not afraid of the big bad wolf, much less than his daughter beating him at No Mercy. But what he'll do is... just as Linda quit on their marriage years ago, he'll do this; if Stephanie wins the match at No Mercy, he'll resign as the chairman of the board.
Sable's music then hit in the arena and she made her way out to the ring. Vince told Sable that she looks fine tonight and he said that he doesn't think he's seen her anymore voluptuous. Vince continued on and then introduced Sable to his wife. Sable said "hi" to Linda and then she told her that she doesn't know if Linda realizes this or not, but behind every great man and oh yeah he is a great man is a great woman. And that is why Sable is offering her services in Mr. McMahon's corner at No Mercy. Linda said that doesn't really surprise her because the way she hears it, Sable offers her services very freely to anyone. Sable then kicked Linda McMahon in the mid section and then Stephanie speared Sable down to the mat and started hammering away on her. Vince grabbed Stephanie and flung her across the ring and then Stephanie got up and charged at Vince but Vince laid her out with a clothesline. Linda then got down on the mat and attended to Stephanie as she was down and Vince yelled "she made me do that!" - Referring to his own daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
