We see Chris Jericho in Stephanie’s office and she tells Chris to leave. Chris refuses to leave. Chris says that he called Vince’s office and he told Vince that it was a rash decision to see Stephanie fire the Superstar of the Year. Chris says that he has been given a chance to give his side of the story. We go to commercial.
Stephanie comes to the ring. Vince says that he does not want to go over Stephanie’s head but he is thinking about reinstating Chris Jericho because he is the superstar of the year. However, he is not going to reinstate him. He is also not going to fire his daughter. Vince says that him and his daughter Stephanie are going to run Raw together. Vince tells Stephanie if she wants to be benevolent and give Jericho a second chance, she can do so. Stephanie walks around Chris and sighs before telling Jericho if he wants his job back, he needs to apologize. Chris refuses to apologize and Stephanie says that she will get security to escort him from the building. Chris gives a half-hearted apology. Stephanie makes Chris apologize with a little more oomph. Chris says that he is sorry, but Stephanie says that he will have to do better than that. Chris says that he is sorry that he spoke out of turn against her. He was frustrated at himself and he shouldn’t have taken it out on her. He asks her to find it in her heart to forgive him. Stephanie says that it is good, but not good enough. Stephanie says that the fans have been called hypocrites so it is time for Chris to apologize to the fans. The fans want Jericho on his knees and Stephanie wants him to assume the position.
Jericho says that he has to explain to everyone. When you have a gift like him that makes you perform better than everyone on the planet, you come off as arrogant. Chris says that he knows that he has said a lot of mean things about them. Anything he has said to offend them, he apologizes. Stephanie tells Chris to get off his knee and she will see him at the Rumble. She tells Chris that he should walk to the back so the fans can really tell him what they think about him. Vince says that he loved to see Jericho grovel like that and he says that it warms his cockles. Vince tells Stephanie that she is still daddy’s little girl.
Randy Orton comes out while Jericho makes his way to the back. Randy rubs his face from Stephanie’s earlier slap. Randy says that he thinks that there is another apology in order. Vince’s daughter slapped Randy in the face earlier in the evening for no reason at all. Randy thinks that Vince should tell Stephanie to apologize to him. Vince wants to know why he should do that. Randy says that he is worth more to the company that Stephanie. Randy says that he will win the Royal Rumble and make Vince millions of dollars. People pay to see Randy more than Stephanie. Randy says that since Stephanie popped out a few grandkids, she has been worthless. Vince stops Stephanie from doing anything to Randy and she leaves the ring. Vince turns around and he stares at Randy and wants to know who the hell he thinks he is. Vince tells Randy that it is his ring and his universe. Randy is privileged to be here. Vince gives Randy a history lesson and brings up Bob Orton. Randy says that he was a mediocre rassler until Vince came along. Now Bob is in the Hall of Fame. If he had not done that, Randy would not be in the ring right now. Maybe Randy would be a gym teacher in St. Louis. Vince tells Randy to apologize to him. Randy thinks about it and Vince tells him to apologize to him . . . or else. Vince tells Randy he is not going to ask him again. Vince says that he will terminate Randy if he does not apologize. Randy tells Vince that he does not want to do that and then Randy calls Vince, sir. Vince starts to say that Randy is Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaahred, but Orton slaps Vince and then connects with the kick to the head. Stephanie comes to the ring and she starts to yell for help. Randy is told to leave the ring by the agents while they check on Vince.
