Jericho vs C.M. Punk in a steel cage started off the show. Backstage Batista watched Jericho leave the ringside area after his win.
Later, JBL staged an in-ring protest, demanding GM Mike Adamle name him the #1 contender to Jericho’s belt. Randy Orton comes out, then Santino and Beth Phoenix and finally, Batista.
Batista proposes he and JBL fight for the contender spot, then says he’ll take the belt form Jericho, and beat every challenger who steps up until Orton is cleared to fight again -then Batista will beat him too! Santino takes exception to Batista’s ignoring Team Glamorella. Batista apologizes, then turns to Beth and offers her a chance at a match with the promise of her getting a beating like JBL and Randy.
Adamle comes on screen to announce that Jericho’s oppenent for No Mercy will be announced later tonight. Batista offers to plead his case now then attacks JBL and Santino. (Orton jumped out of the ring).
With Santino laid out, Beth gets in Batista’s face and yells at him for insulting her earlier. She slaps him. Twice. Ever the gentleman, Batista holds it in but the second slap is too much. He scoops her up and slams her to the mat with Santino.
Later, Batista pays the GM (with Lance Cade) a visit to find out if Adamle has named him for the No Mercy Match. He leaves without a clear answer. In the end, Adamle makes Batista vs JBL at No Mercy, the winner to face the champion.
