Then Mick Foley talks about how Undertaker beat Austin in the ambulance. He said that he cheered his damn ass off. He said Undertaker is known by making people famous. He said he got thrown off a cage by him. He said Undertaker was not even mad at him when he did that, so you can imagine what he will do to Austin.

Then we see Vince and Stephanie entering the building and William Regal tells them that Foley is in the ring and McMahon and Stephanie rush to the ring. Before they came, Foley asked the people what they think of William Regal as commissioner and they booed. He makes fun of Regal. NO CHANCE music hits and here comes Vince, Stephanie and Regal. Vince McMahon takes the microphone and tells Foley that he reminds him of an unwanted house guest. Because you never know when he will show up and he will stay too long. Vince said, since he fired Mick Foley, things have changed for the better. He tells Foley that he is now with Austin and he suspended the Rock. He gives him a brief history of what happened. Vince tells Foley to get out of his ring before he puts his hands on him. Then Vince calls out Rikishi to take Mick Foley out of the ring. Foley tells Rikishi that when Austin came back on Smackdown he tried to take off Rikishi with a chair and Vince and Regal did nothing about it. He tells Rikishi where was Vince and Regal when you needed them. Stephanie tells Rikishi not to allow Foley to brain wash him. Stephanie tells Rikishi to do the stinky face on Foley. Stephanie slaps Rikishi for not doing it. Then Regal said since Stephanie slapped some sense into him, he will beat some sense into him, then Rikishi right away, kicked William Regal. Vince, Regal and Stephanie are leaving, then Foley tells them to stop his music and play Rikishi's old music and they play the Too Cool old music and he tells Rikishi to dance. Rikishi and Foley start dancing. So you can say, Rikishi has turned face once again. Vince McMahon tells them to cut the music, then Vince said he will have the police to throw Mick Foley out.
