The two laughed as they made their way to the ring as the fans booed. Calaway said, "You were expecting someone else? Well, I can tell you that Stone Cold Steve Austin won't be here tonight because, for his own safety, Stone Cold Steve Austin has been banned from the building. I can't be held responsible for what I might do to him." The cameras went to the back where a black pickup truck arrived to the arena. Back in the ring, Calaway was watching what was happening in the back on the LegendsTron. Calaway yelled to the security officials to stop Austin. They lined up. Austin revved up his truck and warned them, "I'll run you down you dumb sons of bitches. Don't think I won't." Austin revved the engine again and warned them again, "You dumb sons of bitches had better move." Austin revved the engine one last time and sped towards the line of security guards. They moved to get out of the way and one of two of them were hit by the truck and sent flying. Austin continued driving and made his way into the arena and down the entrance way towards the ring. Austin got out of his truck and stood on the hood as Calaway freaked out and hid behind Nikita Koloff. Austin grabbed a microphone and said, "You're not going to ban me from anywhere at anytime. My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin and I go where I want when I want and I do what I want and there isn't a damn thing you can do to stop me. And that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!"

I'm not going to wrestle you. I'm not a wrestler. Security, take his ass out of here. And when he gets to jail, or prison, or wherever it is you take drunk, inbred rednecks when they’ve had too much liquid courage, you be sure to let them know that I intend to press charges because Austin the next time you're going to see me, you're going to be seeing me through a set of steel bars. You're ass is going to stay in jail until I say so. Take his ass away.” As Austin was dragged away he inaudibly yelled at Calaway.
