“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

A video kicks off the show that highlights the in-ring promo between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan on RAW. Orton insinuated that Bryan’s fiancé would regret being with him, causing Bryan to snap. Orton wound up getting the better of Bryan, and he gave him a hanging DDT off the ring apron right in front of Brie Bella. Orton then gave him an RKO through the commentary table.

The Smackdown video plays, and Michael Cole welcomes everyone to the show. Big Show’s music hits, and he comes out to a nice reception from the crowd. Big Show gets in the ring, and he says he’s been ashamed of himself lately. He’s done some really bad things to some really good people. A video then airs of Big Show knocking out Daniel Bryan, The Miz, and Dusty Rhodes. Big Show says he did those things because he had no alternative. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are holding his job over his head. When you’re a giant, there aren’t a lot of job opportunities out there. The crowd can’t understand what it’s like to be forced to do things you hate to do. Some have been in a similar situation in their jobs where they have to do things so they don’t get fired. He deserves to get booed, but he’s only tried to do the best for his family. These things have made him a crazy lunatic, but he can’t ask for forgiveness since what he’s done is unforgivable. Big Show just asks for a little understanding. If Stephanie McMahon called your wife and had her say that you’re not the man you used to be, understand how that would make you feel. It makes you question whether you’re still a man.

Big Show says he’s at his wit’s end, and he doesn’t know what he’s going to do. He has all this anger and frustration built up inside of him. He went so far as to threaten to knock out the COO of WWE Triple H. However, we all know that if he knocked Triple H out, he would have been fired right on the spot. Maybe it would have been for the best, but right now he finds himself in a situation because of that threat where he has to face The Shield in a 3-on-1-handicap match tonight. All the rage and frustration he’s had for the last few weeks is going to be turned loose on The Shield. The Shield won’t just be in the ring with a giant. They will be in the ring with a borderline lunatic giant. If he’s going down, he’s taking The Shield with him.

Triple H’s music hits, and the WWE COO makes his way out to the stage. Triple H says he’s ashamed of Big Show. He’s ashamed of the man he’s become, and he’s ashamed that as a locker room leader that he would question his authority in front of everyone. As far as his pent up anger goes, that on Big Show. His personal problems, financial problems, and marital problems are on Big Show. The fact that he can’t pay his mortgage and the bank will repossess his house is on Big Show. Yet here he is because he’s considered Big Show a friend for the last twenty years. He went out of his way to help Big Show, and now Big Show no longer owes a dime to the bank. Triple H takes out a document from his jacket pocket. Triple H says Big Show no longer owes the bank; he owes him. Triple H doesn’t want Big Show to lose his house and have his family on the street, and he doesn’t want Big Show to lose his job. How does Big Show show appreciation? He threatens to knock Triple H out. Now Big Show’s problems are his problems, and his patience is wearing thin. Triple H warns Big Show to get his emotions in check or Big Show won’t be living in his house – he will.

As far as tonight goes, he and his wife are simply offering Big Show an opportunity. That’s the American way. However, after Big Show just described himself as a borderline lunatic giant, it doesn’t seem fair of him to needlessly stick The Shield in harm’s way. Triple H says he’s changing the main event. Now Big Show will face Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and their partner, the face of the WWE, Randy Orton. Four men against as borderline lunatic giant – that seems fair. Triple H says as far as Big Show’s personal threat goes, no harm done. They’re cool. Triple H holds up the deed to Big Show’s house, and he goes to the back.
