Backstage: Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton

Backstage we see Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes. DiBiase asks him if he really wants to go through with this. Rhodes says when DiBiase’s dad was host he got a nice spotlight, tonight he’s going to make the most of this opportunity. Randy Orton walks in and asks Cody if he’s really going through with this. Rhodes says yes. Orton says just like you said earlier, no matter what happens in this ring tonight – it’s only business, not personal.

Backstage: Dusty Rhodes & D-X Talk History

We see Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash’s infamous "one finger touch" match on Nitro from the WCW DVD. The camera pulls back and Dusty and D-X are watching the DVD. Dusty says WCW’s Rise and Fall, that’s where the Fall started. HBK asks him how he let that happen. He says he didn’t. They continue to re-talk about history. Dusty asks HBK about some incidents from their past. HBK over-acting acts offended and tells them two to have a good time as he walks off. HHH tells Dusty that HBK is just mad he wasn’t part of the Attitude Era. HHH says whoever dressed up Marc Mero like Little Richard was an idiot. Dusty says it was his idea. HBK storms back in and over-acting complains that the Attitude Era was half-his idea and he storms off again in a huff.
