NOw onto the show – Shawn laid out by Ordge – Nitro fights Cena – Michaels questions whether or not to help Cena – Michaels helps Cena.

Here comes Cena! New shirt: “Live Fast, Die Hard!”
“When can we get TNA on Monday.. so we don’t have to watch a promo at the beginning of the show” – Mike

Cena explains that they are tag team partners, but at Mania they have no friends. He then calls out Michaels to come out to kick the teeth down Cena’s throat.
“John Cena’s got big features on a little head.” – Bill

Heeeere comes Shawn!

Shawn has told Cena that nothing is going to happen to him until Mania, because Shawn wants the WWE championship. Shawn agrees. He has one goal for Mania, and that’s to be the champion.
“Praise Jesus” – Mike
“Hallelujeigh” – Bill

Shawn wants to know if Cena is going to turn on Shawn. So Cena tosses the mic from Shawn and are they going to get it on? Of course not, Coach is here.

“It would be a shame for you two to fight each other tonight.” – Coach
“It would break my f*cking heart” – Me

Due to his contract signing, Vince can’t be bothered to deal with them. So instead, Coach is going to give them a cage-gauntlet match for the tag titles.

They pull back and Hey.. a cage!
“WHERE’D THAT COME FROM!? WHO PUT IT TOGETHER?!” – Hernandez
“Mistico!” – Me

In the back… Trump is here!

“Dammit Ric!” – Eric
“One of these days he’s going to land and burst like an old potato” – Bill

Carlito then leaps onto Orton. Orton gets out of it. Ric rolls him up for two. Now it’s doubleteam spots on Orton.
“So is Mr. Shit In A Bag gonna win?” – Jenna
“Ric shits in a bag too, it’s just a colostomy..” – Bill

The food arrives so we stop watching for a moment. We come back and Carlito and Ric are still doubleteaming on Randy, each taking their shot at two count pin attempts.

Randy gets his knee clipped a bit. Eats a backelbow. Now Carlito seems to be upset as Ric goes for a figure four. Ric just pushes him out of the way. Of course until Carlito then hits him with the Backcracker!

Randy now throws Carlito to the outside… turns and hits the RKO on Flair… that’s that.
