Recap of Evolution turning on Orton.

Intro, Jericho vs. Edge for the IC tonight.

The Divas are coming down to the ring, with Coach, and Traci gets eliminated. Coach then gives the last five contestants 2 minutes to tell The Coach how great he really is. Coach then thinks it over, and says that 2 minutes may not be enough, so he will make it 5. ‘IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLL’ Yup, The Rock is here, and he makes his way down to the ring. All the girls seem to start panting. Rock gives Coach 5 seconds to get out of the ring, before he gives Coach an ass whipping, and Coach scampers away. Rock then fawns over the girls, and says that he knows they all think his is fine. He then says that they have a chance to have one of the best jobs ever. He then jokes that Lillian Garcia wasn’t always a Raw Diva, she had a full time job at the sperm clinic, but she got fired for drinking on the job. HA! Rock then singles out Carmella, and tells her that she has to step it up. So, they will have a pie eating contest, and Rock has his new friend Tajiri bring out some pies. All 5 girls then eat pie, with the stupid red head sitting on hers, and then Coach comes back out, with La Rez. Coach yells, and Conway and Greiner attack, and take out Tajiri and Rock. Rhyno comes out and saves the day with the GORE GORE GORE, and all 3 faces corner Coach. Coach gets a Spinebuster, and then the People’s Elbow.

    We come back, and a small orchestra band is playing, as a midget ring bearer and a midget flower girl walks down. The orchestra then plays their version of KANE’s theme song, as KANE makes his way down in his all white tux. ‘Here Comes The Bride’ starts, and Lita comes out in her…wait, a BLACK DRESS!! KANE is irate. The reverend starts, and says that a man has requested to speak, and it’s Bischoff. Bischoff then recites from the Bible. The Reverend then tells Lita that KANE as prepared a video of their relationship, and they play it to a song that goes ‘Your having my baby, what a great say to show that you love me.’ HAHAHA. KANE has written his own vows. He says that when he chose her to carry his seed, he never thought it would come to this. He says that she is now his property, and she will be until the day she dies. Lita’s vows basically says that she hates KANE, Loves Matt Hardy, and prays for a horrible accident to create KANE’s untimely death, and he rots in Hell. KANE says that was lovely. The reverend then goes right into the ending, and asks if anyone knows why these 2 should not be wedded in matrimony, or forever keep your peace. Trish comes out in a white nighty. Trish says that it is horrible that she doesn’t have a Maid of Honor, and she even wore white, because she knew that Lita couldn’t. Trish says that she knows Lita is scared about wedding KANE, but she has to remember to just open her heart, just like she open her legs. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Lita then attacks Trish, and they roll around. KANE pulls Lita off Trish, and they go right into the ‘I Do’ part. Lita says I Do, but before KANE can, Matt Hardy’s music hits, and he jumps KANE from behind, sends him into the Steel Steps, then nails a Twist of Fate on the floor. Matt grabs Lita, and runs up the ramp, but there is a wall of fire that blocks them on the top of the ramp. KANE runs up the ramp and takes out Mattitude, then choke slams him off the stage. KANE drags Lita back to the ring, and they finish the I Do, and they are pronounced Husband and Wife, and KANE lays a wet one on her.
