We are back and Kane is in the ring and the building is red and he is laughing maniacally. Kane says that when the devil removed himself from heaven and earth, he left seven deadly sins. Kane says that his favorite sin is pride. Kane tells his brother that it was his pride that weakened his powers over the decades of destruction. It was his pride that allowed Kane to put him in a vegetative state. It was Taker’s pride that brought him back before he was ready. It was because of his pride that he was able to drop Taker on his head at SummerSlam. Kane asks Taker if he can remember when it all began. He asks if Taker can remember when the downward spiral from immortality to the mangled wreck that was left in the ring on Sunday was started. For years, he was nothing more than some vague memory in the back of his mind. When Taker saw him again for the first time, the look in his eyes told the story. It was the story of an older self serving brother who was worried about keeping the spotlight on himself while leaving his brother in the shadows.
Kane says that everything that he did in those early years, Taker was able to overcome. Instead of destroying his legend, Kane made it greater. When Taker set him on fire, he knew that it was his influence that pushed Taker to the limit of the dark side. It was his little brother who separated him from his last vestiges of humanity. It was Taker’s most magnificent moment. That is when Kane knew what he had to do. That is when his master plan was set in motion. With every victory, Taker’s collection of souls grew, but so did his weakness. Kane says that he watched and waited. Even in victory, it was clear that Taker was losing his grip. It was the day that Taker forced Kane to take off his mask to reveal his true face to the world, that Taker unleashed the monster capable of ending Taker’s reign of darkness.
When they met for the second time on the grandest scale of them all, the time was not right, but the plan continued to evolve. Kane says that he understands Taker better than anyone. He positioned himself at Taker’s right hand to gain confidence. Kane says that he watched and waited. Their reunion was nothing more than a vehicle for his vengeance. Kane says that no matter how many times Taker was sent crashing down, he would get back up. It was because of Taker’s pride that he continued to get up. Taker’s pride would be his undoing. While Taker was disgracing himself and allowing himself to be disgraced by those beneath him, Kane says that he was biding his time. Kane says that he knew his moment arrived when he showed Shawn Michaels some mercy. Taker could have destroyed Shawn Michaels or he could become one with his weakness. It was at that moment that the plan he hatched over a decade earlier had come to fruition.
Kane says that he knew last Sunday when he saw that shadow of his former self rise out of the coffin and the weak grip around his throat, he knew that it was over. All of those years of planning, watching, and waiting in the shadows were at an end. Kane says that he had his vengeance. A vengeance that had eluded him for so long. Kane says that now the shadows in which he once labored are now cast upon him. What was once Taker’s holy grail is now Kane’s World Title. He tells Undertaker that they used to be the Brothers of Destruction, but now Taker is nothing more than the brother he destroyed. For fifteen years, Kane dreamt of the day when the Phenom would be no more. Kane relished the thought of being the dominant brother. He knew that this day would come. Kane says that he dedicated his life to this moment becoming reality. The moment that his brother would be cast down with grave vengeance and furious anger. That would be the moment that he would replace Taker as the devil’s favorite demon.
Kane laughs again as he summons the hellfire and leaves the ring.
