In the ring, Maven has great news! "Eric Bischoff has been kind enough to give me - ME - a second chance at gettin' into the Royal Rumble! Yeah. It's great. So I'm out here right now and challenging anybody - anybody! - who's already qualified for the Rumble to come out here and face me right NOW. And you see the way it works. If I win - actually, when I win, I take his spot. It's that simple. It's that simple. So if there's anyone back there who wants to answer my challenge, come down here right now."

Nothing.

"Oh, I see how it is. There's absolutely no one back there with the guts enough to come down and give me another chance. No chance."

PYRO! Kane saunters out, selling the leg injury from last week. Maven doesn't like this. "What the hell are you doing here? I did not mean you. Actually, Kane, look at you - you are in no shape to be fighting me. You are in no shape to be - I did not mean you. I meant anybody else." Maven invites anybody else.

IT WASN'T MY FAULT!

Gene Snitsky heads out! "Vigilant" Mike Chioda informs Lilian Garcia that it's a Triple Threat match!

Match #5: Maven vs Kane vs Gene Snitsky
Triple Threat Royal Rumble Qualifying Match

Kane and Snitsky start. Snitsky shoves Kane. That hurts. Maven shoves Snitsky. That hurts. The big men try to boot each other. They both fall down! Maven tries to pin Snitsky. He gets 2. He crawls over to Kane and watches him sit up. Kane stalks Maven, then hits a hard lariat on Snitsky. Kane crawls over to cover, but Maven breaks it up with an axe drop and grabs a wristlock. Maven bails into the corner. Kane staggers over to beat on him, but Snitsky hits him in the back. Kane whips Snitsky into the corner and dumps him with a clothesline. Maven pops Kane with a hard right to the shoulder, which is supposdly separated. Kane gets up with the goozle and hits the chokeslam, and hot dog, we have a wiener!

Winner: Kane via pinfall (2:00)
