Heyman says he doesn’t blame the crowd for booing and he, like the WWE Universe have been let down by Triple H. Heyman says he received an e-mail from Triple H and reads it out loud. Long story short, the e-mail says due to Triple H’s injuries, he cannot respond to the challenge tonight and will respond next week.

Foley says in his day, he took on the biggest, the baddest the best, and that he always found a way to get back up even when there was a tooth stuck up his nose and his ear was ripped off. Foley says that he knows that his day came and lef a long time ago so if Ryback decides to hurt him, he’ll go down and he might not get back up.
