Before Truth can ask his first question, Shane McMahon's music plays and the Shane-O Shuffle is in full effect as he shuffles his way to the ring.

Shane says they try to put things like TruthTV on and things that people want to see.

We are back and Evolution makes its way to the ring.

Hunter says one thousand episodes.  How do you accomplish something that monumental?  You accomplish it by evolving constantly.  How do you celebrate something so monumental?  You bring together the one group that epitomizes Evolution.  

Ric wooos and struts.  He says this is a lifetime for the Nature Boy to be out here with that group.  Flair says he is more used to that 10,000 number.  

Randy says coming down that aisle and listening to that music brings back memories.  What better way to get a start in this business than with this group.  Randy says he has been evolving.  While Hunter has been running the show, Ric has been living vicariously through his daughter, and Batista has spent more time in a make up chair than the ring, Randy says he has been winning championships.

Batista says he is a little nervous being back in this ring.  It has been a long time.  He says he is going to enjoy every second of it and ignore what Randy said.  Batista says that you know the last place he wants to be is with this microphone in his hand.  Batista says he thought about it and on this auspicious occasion, he has four things he wants to say.  First, he wanted to be here tonight because it is Smackdown 1000.  He says he is proud to have built this brand.  Second, this is his home town.  He bounced at a nightclub two blocks away for thirteen years.  He saw more violence than anyone needs to see.  He is speaking to all of you and it is a dream come true.  Third, it is because of all of you.  Whether you booed him or called him Bluetista or BooTista.  Whether you loved him or hated him, he came out and busted his ass and loved all of you.  He didn't care if he won or lost, he wanted to entertain you.  Fourth, is the guys in the ring with him.  Do you realize how special this is?  Do you realize how the molecules changed in the room when they walked into this building.  When that music plays, it is a different vibe.  Four champions brought together to build an army.  It has never been done before and will never be done since.

Randy Orton, thirteen time champion.  Batista says he knew that Randy was special the first time he saw him in OVW.  Flair, Hunter, and everyone else knew he was special.  Ric Flair, the sixteen time World Champion.  There is nothing he can tell you about Flair that you don't already know.  Flair says something to Batista and Batista tells Flair to keep it in his pants.  Triple H, fourteen time World Champion.  This man has single handedly changed this business.  He is this business.  There is nothing that this man hasn't done in this business . . . except beat him.

Hunter and Batista stare each other down in the ring and Flair stands between them.  Hunter and Batista hug.

We see smoke in the back and the silhouette of the Undertaker.

We go to commercial.
