Back from commercial, JBL is flat out punishing Cena with another big boot and elbow drop on the outside. Back in the ring, Cena starts to fight back, but Layfield counters with a Sleeper Hold. Cena fights out, but gets nailed again with another big boot to the skull. Following a missed Clothesline From Hell, Cena recovers and hits two shots of shoulder tackles, a pinch of the Spinout Powerbomb, and garnishes it with a 5-Knuckle Shuffle.

JBL fights out of the FU once more and nails the Clothesline From Hell, but Cena is able to get his foot on the bottom rope. JBL rolls out of the ring to shoot some more daggers to Triple H as he pulls the covering off of the announcers table. As he returns to the ring to pick up Cena, the Doctor rolls him up in a small package for the upset victory.

After the match, Cena and Triple H have yet another face to face, but this time on the announcers table. As Triple H walks away, he takes Cena's legs from out under him.

As the show returns, McMahon decides that in honor of Lilian Garcia's measurements (yes, really), he gives Stephani Green of Lafayette, Indiana $98,000. With that, Chris Jericho arrives to do the Highlight Reel with special guest Shawn Michaels.

Jericho wastes no time in getting to the point. After the series of events that has transpired between HBK, Y2J and The Animal Batista, Jericho calls his guest a spineless worm and proceeds to attack him. As HBK fights back, Jericho punts him in the groin, shoves him to the ground, and rams his face into the Jeritron 5000.

The show returns with the crowd still stunned about the events that just took place. But in the process, Umaga and Snitsky make their way to the ring for action.

Fourth Bout: Umaga & Snitsky defeat Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly

Rhodes and Snitsky start the bout with the Tag Champs getting the early advantage. But the tide turns thanks to a throat thrust from Umaga. As Snitsky misses a legdrop, Holly gets the tag to Rhodes. Rhodes throws everything at the Samoan Bulldozer, but after blocking off a series of dropkicks, Umaga nails a Reverse Bulldozer Slam, followed by a Samoan Spike for the win.

Following the match, Ted DiBiase comes out and tells the champs to get their act together because @ Night of Champions, he will be one-half of the new Tag Team Champions.

RAW returns with the fifth winner of Million Dollar Mania about to be called. But first, Trevor and Jillian Hall are in the ring having a "sing-off." Is anyone else's ears bleeding? But back to reality, Sara Fuhrmann of Keller, Texas felt more screwed than us as she became the winner of $2.00, but don't feel bad for her, though. Backstage, she was given a consolation prize as she and her family were given a free trip to New York City.

But the sixth winner set the tone for the rest of the evening. Joshua Smith of Long Beach, Mississippi won $200,000, and responded simply with: Holy $#*&!

Fifth Bout: Cryme Tyme defeat Santito

The show returns with the arrival of Santito (with one of them still embarrassed over their SmackDown! debut) and the masters of money magic. Santino and JTG start the match with a few wrestling roll ups until Shad comes in to help his partner.
