Intercontinental Championship Match: Champ Shelton Benjamin w/mama vs Ric Flair - Two weeks ago, Shelton beat Ric to win the title. Both men qualified for the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania. A few minutes into the match, Shelton accidentally pokes the ref in the eyes. Ric then applies the figure four leg lock and Shelton taps out.

Candice Michelle Playboy Cover Unveiling: Torrie Wilson & Victoria welcome Candice Michelle to the ring. There is a giant box with the magazine cover on all sides. The box is raised and Candice is underneath it. She does her GoDaddy.com dance. She then grabs the mic and starts insulting all of the Divas.

When it appears they are going to make up, Victoria and Candice attack Torrie.
