Lars says you would never ask a Nightingale why they sing their sweet song, and you would never ask a lion why the methodically stalk their prey before ripping their teeth into it. Fans start with the “what?!” treatment now. Lars says then why would you ever ask what drives a man like him. Lars goes on and says he’s been defined by one word his entire life. He tells Kayla to say the word. Lars says it’s OK, he can take it, he’s been called this word his entire life. Braxton says, “Freak.” A “you suck!” chant breaks out.

Lars goes on about how people call him a freak when he performs his primary function, which is to hurt, maim, dissect and dehumanize people, to show all of the fans that the world isn’t full of rainbow and sunshine, it’s full of pain, agony and a real-life freak of nature like him.

Goldberg says he’s been waiting more than 20 years to see what it would be like to face The Undertaker one-on-one in the ring, now he finally gets the match he’s always wanted. Goldberg says listening to Taker on RAW last night, he made an interesting point – he didn’t want to share the ring with family man Goldberg, he’d rather share the ring with the Icon, the ass-kicking machine Goldberg. Goldberg appreciates Taker’s advice and says it made a light switch go off in his head because Taker was right.

Goldberg doesn’t want the family man near Taker because he thinks he would fall short. Goldberg says so he left his ass at home.
