The Undertaker’s Last Rites Ceremony for The Big Show
The casket is in the ring with the blue lights on it when we return. The Undertaker’s gong can be heard as he makes his way to the ring. He rubs his hand along the side of the casket when he enters the ring. He says that at Survivor Series, they will settle their differences with a casket; better yet they will settle their differences in a casket match. He says to behold the casket and gaze at its beauty. He says that as Show gazes at it he should realize that this s his final resting place here on earth. He says as he stares at it he should think about his final moments in it. He says that when he closes the lid on Show, his debt to Taker will be repaid, and his debt to society will be repaid.
He says that Undertaker can spout all the mumbo jumbo he wants because some people might buy that, but he doesn’t. He says that he doesn’t fear Taker and so he has no power over him. He says he believes in power, but not that kind. His kind of power is this (he holds up his fist). He says he beat the Undertaker twice with this, and it is with this that he is going to…put him in the casket. Show stutters at the last line as he looks at the casket. Undertaker takes three steps forward and the lights go out as the gong sounds. When they come back on, Undertaker has Vickie by the throat in the ring and she is screaming her hear off. The fans explode as Taker opens the casket, puts her inside, and slams the lid closed. Chavo freaks out and tells Show to go help her but he stays where he is because of his fear of caskets. Instead, he throws Chavo into the ring and Taker focuses on him. While Chavo has Taker distracted, Show gets in the ring, manages to open the casket with a look of terror on his face, frees Vickie, and they flee back up the ramp. They look on as Chavo becomes the sacrificial lamb and is nailed with a Tombstone Piledriver. Undertaker then stares down the Big Show.
