Michaels and Triple H then celebrated and walked off triumphant.
Results: No contest (I guess).
Todd Grisham interviewed John Cena backstage. Cena intentionally overhyped the match, making jokes about Umaga. Cena then got serious, noting that Umaga has never been pinned or forced to submit. Cena said he wouldn't just hand over the WWE Title because Umaga is supposed to be unbeatable. He said nothing lasts forever, nothing is impossible, and nothing would stop him from walking out the WWE Champion.
