Following the match the Undertaker congratulates HBK on a hard fought match. The two men embrace and Taker raises Shawn's hand as the fans show their respect to both legends standing in the ring after completing another 5-star epic Wrestlemania performance. Just then, 'No Chance in Hell' hits as Vince McMahon makes his way out to the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand. He smirks and struts around mocking the crowd as they boo him loudly. He waits for the boos to die down before finally raising the mic to address the crowd.
Vince McMahon: I think I speak for each and every fan in attendance and the millions of people watching all over the world at home when I say that was....the.....WORST performance I have ever seen! This is Wrestlemania, the grandest stage of them all, MY CREATION! How dare you soil MY reputation with disgusting filth I just witnessed! Has chairman of the WWE I feel it's time I step in and take matters into my own hands. You see for too long I've sat back and let the ship sail it's own course. But the time has come, the time has come for a, for a change here in the WWE. A BIG change! Since I have total power to do whatever the hell it is I see fit I'm going to do just that. As of this very moment, every single title holder in the WWE is hereby....STRIPPED of his championship! That's right! That's right! The Hart Dynasty! Kofi Kingston! Even your beloved, John Cena, will hand over his title before exiting the arena tonight! And anyone that doesn't adhere by my decision will be FIRED! Oh but it gets better. Tomorrow night on Raw there will be..."changes" as well and no one is exempt! No one is safe! It's time we evolve out of this garbage I just witnessed tonight, and I know exactly how that's going to happen!
The crowd begins to boo even more violently as no one can believe what they just heard. Michaels and Taker are still in the ring in sheer disbelief as to what the Chairman has just said. Vince basks in the glory of knowing he's just screwed every WWE fan out of a great Wrestlemania experience. He finally takes it all in and then looks down to the ring and speaks directly to The Undertaker and HBK.
Vince McMahon: As for you two, you two couldn't have embarrassed me anymore than you have here tonight! Undertaker consider this your first strike. Since you won the match you get to keep your job, congratulations. As for you Shawn. Well you're not so lucky. You see you've been a thorn in my ass for too long now. And I can't tell you how long I've waited to say this, but Shawn Michaels......YOU'RE FIRED!!!!
At that Vince drops the mic and walks out as his music blares again. Michaels is in complete disbelief in the ring as Taker shakes his head and makes his way back up the ramp leaving HBK alone, dumbfounded in the ring.
Jerry Lawler: What just happened Michael? First Mr. McMahon comes out here and strips every champion of their title, THEN he FIRES Shawn Michaels?
Michael Cole: Indeed I'm as shocked as you are King. Ladies and Gentlemen I assure you I have no idea what the chairman's intentions or reasonings behind all of this are, but it's reverberations are sure to be felt throughout the entire WWE. What did Mr. McMahon mean when he said "it's time we evolve"?
Jerry Lawler: And what now becomes of the legendary Shawn Michaels? It appears his career is over, and I doubt this is the way he wanted it to end.
Michael Cole: Definitely a sour ending to the career of one of the most illustrious superstars in WWE history, indeed Shawn Michaels run here in WWE has come to an end thanks to the diabolical actions from Mr. McMahon. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for tuning in and join us for Monday Night Raw tomorrow night where hopefully we will get some answers as to why exactly this has all happened. For Jerry "The King" Lawler, I'm Michael Cole signing off here from Wrestlemania 26!
