Before our opening match, Alberto Del Rio addresses the people of Fort Wayne. Alberto says that he has a big smile on his face because he is going to show us something really funny. His opponent at Wrestlemania, Jack Swagger claims to be the only ‘real American’. He tells Jackie that there are a lot of people in Fort Wayne, Indiana and other places in this nation who are from a different country. In the end, we are all made in America.
