Show has no financial responsibility, which is the reason he is broke. She tells Big Show to man up. He asks if he can go.

He cannot do anything in the company without either her or her husband’s permission. She tells Big Show to get down on his knees and beg. Show just shakes his head.

Big Show laughs. He says that he won’t apologize or beg. He knocked Orton out because he couldn’t take it anymore. He knocked out Daniel Bryan because she told him to do so. Stephanie says that it is typical that he won’t take responsibility. Stephanie claims that since she and Triple H weren’t at the show that it was the actions of Brad Maddox that influenced the giant. Show laughs off the accusation and says that everyone knows that Maddox is her puppet. Stephanie McMahon starts to slap Big Show in the face. She slaps him repeatedly while calling him a big baby. Ultimately she has had enough and commands Big Show to get out of the ring – because he is fired.
