We begin this week’s show with a look back at Kane’s comments about his World Title win and how he did it for his brother. Kane tells us that he will not rest until he finds his culprit. We see the footage from the match between Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio to see who will face Kane at SummerSlam. After the match ended, Kane came to the ring and he attacked Swagger and Rey.
We are live on tape from Corpus Christi, Texas and your announcers are Todd ‘Deep in the Heart of Texas’ Grisham and Matt ‘JBL’ Striker.
Kane is in the ring and he says that for sixty days and sixty nights, he has sat at his brother’s side waiting for him to show a sign and put him in the direction of the culprit who put him in a vegetative state. Yesterday, his brother moved and he opened his eyes. For the first time in two months, he spoke. Kane says that his voice was weak and frail. He could only utter two words, but those words will be forever engrained in his psyche. Those words were the name of his assailant. A tidal wave of anger and pain coursed through his body. It was something he could not believe. The guilty party had been looking him in the eyes and he could not see it. Kane says that the man who attacked his brother was Rey Mysterio.
Kane says that he sat staring at his brother before he drifted back into unconsciousness. The name Rey Mysterio hung in the air like a demon he could not fathom. He wonders why would Rey have done this. Kane says that he knows that Rey couldn’t have done it together. Kane says that the more he realized it, it was true. Rey had the most to gain. Kane talks about the night that Rey lost to the Undertaker to get into the Fatal Four Way Match. He says that Rey made a conscious decision and took the coward’s way out. The next week, like a virus invading its host, he opportunistically won a battle royal to get back into the Fatal Four Way Match. Then Rey won the title when he should have hung his head in shame for what he had done. Rey won only because his brother was not there. Kane says that he stopped Rey by cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase and he brought the title to the dark side. He will beat Rey at SummerSlam but defeating him will not be enough.
This time he will make Rey pay for his sins. He will make Rey experience what Undertaker has endured. Kane says that he will open a casket and stuff Rey inside. He will damn Rey to eternal hell where the fires will consume him over and over. He will condemn Rey to eternal pain. Kane says that Rey will be praying to him for mercy. Kane says that he will shut the lid and Rey Mysterio as we know him will cease to exist. As Rey gasps for air and the light dims, his fate will be sealed and so too will his soul. As the life oozes out of Rey’s pores, the last thought that will go through your mind will be to repent over what you did to his brother. Then the only thing left will be the darkness. Kane closes the casket and we go to commercial.
