Tazz tells us that Vickie will not be at the show tonight because Undertaker will. (Bet that changes)
Undertaker hits the ring. Taker tells us that anticipation of death is far worse then the death itself and that he’s going to let Vickie decide for herself. at Unforgiven he is coming for her soul.

Taker says he will descend to the fiery bowels of Hades where she can rejoin Edge. Taker promises Vickie her endless agony and an eternity in hell.
