Chavo points to Kidman and keeps beating on Nunzio. Cole says the SSP is injuring people and this is why Kidman does it.

Coming Up: Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle
Up Next: Heidenrich wants UT
Commerical
We’re back with Josh talking about Heidenrich-UT.
Heidenrich is on the phone with Paul Heyman. He keeps repeating that he wants the UT. He is begging to get a match with the Dead Man. It looks like is going to give it to him, because Heidenrich ends the conversation with a “thank you”. He is a polite monster.
We now see Heyman in the dark with the UT arriving, without showing his face. He puts all the blame on Heidenrich for what happened. After some more talking, Undertaker signs the contract and grabs Heyman by the throat. UT gave him a pass with the Paul Bearer situation, but don’t think for one minute that he wouldn’t take Heyman out. UT wants Heyman to watch what happens to Heidenrich. This won’t be a match, it’ll be an execution. Heyman runs away as UT laughs.
Coming Up: Booker T vs OJ
Up Next: Carlito speaks
Commerical
Afterburn returns with Josh talking about John Cena. He is making progress in his recovery. His kidney is healing, but it is unknown when he will return.
On SD, Josh Matthews catches up with Carlito Cool. Josh asks him if there is any truth to the rumor that Carlito, oops, a big guy grabs Josh, picks him up and asks if he got a problem. Carlito tells the big guy, Jesus, to put Matthews down. Back to the interview, Josh continues his question. Rumors aren’t cool. Carliton was at the club that night celebrating his US title victory. Cena was bothering a lot of people that night, so Carlito left. Josh isn’t cool, so he gets the apple treatment. Now, I’m no detective, but wouldn’t it be easier to just ASK CENA WHO DID IT?
