First up is the Womens Title match, a triple threat between champion Melina, enemy Candice Michelle and Jillian Hall, who won a No.1 Contender match with the help of Melina on Raw. It is certain they won't be helping each other tonight though, with the gold on the line. There is one man who might get involved, Viscera. He has found himself a job as Melina's bodyguard, so we may see him around. Lets get down to our first match of the night!

Lillian: And the second contender making her way to the ring, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 120lbs, Candice Michelle!

The fans boo the most dominant diva in WWE down to the ring, pausing to gawp at her amazing way of getting into the ring itself.
