JR also reports that more than 15,000 fans are present at tonight's show. JR plugs the two main events.
* In the ring, The Coach changes the Bobby Lashley vs. Vince McMahon match to a no-DQ match. Out comes, Steve Austin. Austin talks about his weekend, in which he received several gifts from Donald Trump. Coach claims Vince has too much respect for Austin for him to attempt to buy off the "Rattle Snake." Austin said as it turns out, the packages came from Stamford, CT and Vince McMahon. Fans chant "hell ya" when he asks them if he should go backstage and shave Vince's head. Coach claimed to Austin that he sent the gifts. Austin reminds Coach that when the bell rings at Wrestlemania, he is in total control. Austin said no one will bother him in the ring, so he tells Coach not to bother him outside the ring. Coach tells Austin that bald is beautiful, they smile at each other, and then Austin gives Coach a stone cold stunner! Afterwards, enjoys his ice cold beer to the delight of the fans.
Outside the arena, Austin leaves in his truck as McMahon arrives in his limo. Vince pops his head out of the limo, but Austin gives him the bird. Mr. McMahon snaps and goes after his limo driver, and then fires him.
Up next, the divas tag match.
* The Women's title match at Wrestlemania will pit Melina against Ashley in a LumberJill match.
(1) Women's champion Melina, Jillian Hall and Victoria vs. Candice Michelle, Ashley, and Torrie Wilson (The Playboy cover girls). The babyfaces win when Ashley pins Jillian.
* They recapped the Vince McMahon/Donald Trump saga.
* JR plugged the No Way Out Main Event + Vince vs. Lashley in a no-DQ match.
(2) CM Punk vs. Kenny Dysktra. Punk was hailed from Chicago, which received a good pop from the fans. Punk won with a knee to the face.
* After the match, Edge cut a promo on Punk (as CM looked on) on the Titan Tron. Edge said the Cutting Edge segment is next.
* In the ring, all eight members of the Wrestlemania money in the bank match for tonight's Cutting Edge. A ladder is in the center of the ring, with the brief case hovering over the ladder. Edge reminds us that he won the first money in the bank match. Edge said he won more ladder matches than anyone in the ring. Edge also reminds us that he is undefeated at Wrestlemania. Each member of the match got a chance to cut a promo on the mic. Jeff Hardy said this will be his first Wrestlemania in five years. Edge tells CM Punk that he is addicted to sex and violence, but Punk said that Edge's only addiction is running his mouth. This leads to everyone brawling in the ring, except for Edge, who walks away from the action smiling. Finally they all run after Edge and chase him away.
* Rewind of the week: Last week's Benoit vs. Cena match.
* Backstage, Maria interviews John Cena. Cena cuts a Wrestlemania promo. He takes a dig at Michael Cole being at Wrestlemania. Cena said he and HBK will have an epic battle at Mania.
(3) No-DQ: Mr. McMahon vs. Bobby Lashley. On the mic, McMahon said he is going to embarrass. As the bell rings, McMahon slides out of the ring, allowing Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade to go after Lashley. Lashley takes care of them, and then takes care of Chris Masters. Johnny Nitro runs out, but reserves a running powerslam. Vince calls for more help, and out comes Umaga and Estrada. Umaga attacks Lashley, which allows Mr. McMahon to pin Lashley. After the match, Umaga jumps off the top rope onto a helpless Lashley. Umaga continued his assault on Lashley, leading to the Samoan Spike. Vince pins Lashley for a second time. After the second pin fall, Vince verbally assaulted Lashley. Umaga hit another Samoan Spike on Lashley.
* During the break, Grisham interviewed Mr. McMahon backstage. Vince said he guaranteed he'd beat Lashley. Vince had Eugune play the role of Mr. Trump, with a rug on his head. He pulls the wig off, exposing his bald head. Eugene opens the door for Vince, as he leaves in his limo.
(4) Randy Orton and Mr. Kennedy vs. Matt and Jeff Hardy. The heels win when Orton hits the RKO and pins Matt.
* Final inductee into the 2007 hall of fame class - Jim Ross! Simply the best announcer of all time. JR receives a standing ovation, which brings a tear to JR's eye. They got this one right.

* Backstage, HBK cut a promo. HBK said he is walking out of Wrestlemania the world champion. He finishes his promo by saying he has Cena's back.
