Zack Ryder comes out for his state of the union address and he says 'Welcome to ZackDown". He says the ratings are through the roof because Triple H made him the Assistant Host… and then gets interrupted by Ezekiel Jackson. Zeke says what's up, then says he is not here to beat him up because of the handicap match from last week, but he wants to know why he was in it. Zeke says he abused his power, and Zack looks confused, then they are joined by Rhodes and DiBiase. Cody says Zeke will lose the IC title and Cody will resurrect it's image, just like he did Ted. Zeke says he is using Ted, and he knows what it is like, but Cody says Ted wants to be with him.
Cody says it's up to Ted, but he thinks Ted wants to go beat the 'champ' out of Zeke, then Zack says it's OK with him.
