Vince says it is his pleasure to introduce the recipient, Stephanie McMahon.

Stephanie comes out and fans boo. Vince praises her and gets emotional, talking about how she is like his father. Fans boo louder as she had a statement prepared, even though she says she didn’t know she was winning. She goes on and is interrupted by Shane McMahon to a big pop.

The crowd goes nuts as Shane makes his way to the ring and dances around. They chant “this is awesome” and “holy shit” and more. The music stops and Vince goes to hug Shane but Shane puts his hand up and stops Vince. Fans chant Shane’s name. He takes the mic and thanks the fans for the reaction. Shane says he has to handle business real quick. He says he’s back because this award is the straw that broke the camel’s back. He says the award is a good idea but should be given to someone deserving, and that’s not Stephanie. He says hello to Stephanie but says he’s sorry she’s not deserving of the award. Vince tells him to be nice and says maybe they should talk backstage. Shane says Vince had his chance, they could have talked days ago. Vince always told him to man up, do things face to face and in the ring. Shane says that’s what they’re doing tonight. He says it’s all getting done tonight. Stephanie says this is her moment, it’s not about Shane. She says it’s her legacy. Fans boo.

Shane says she hasn’t earned it. She reminds him he hasn’t been around for 6 or 7 years and has been watching from home while she and her husband ran WWE with their blood, sweat and tears. Shane asks Vince if Stephanie “knows” and apparently she doesn’t. Shane informs Stephanie that she and Triple H have been running the company into the ground. Shane brings up stock, ratings, talent injuries and says it’s all been under her watch. Stephanie says he’s nothing more than a quitter and tells him to get the hell out of her ring. Fans boo. Shane says #1, it’s her father’s ring. Shane says she doesn’t understand what’s going on here. He asks if Vince wants to tell her now and he doesn’t want to get into the details now. Shane says several years ago, Vince messed up big time and who was there to save the day? Shane. Shane says he and Vince cut a deal where Shane was able to go off and do what he wanted to do, build some businesses, but he never lost his “place in line” with WWE. Stephanie says this is ridiculous and says nothing happens in WWE’s business that she doesn’t know about. Shane says the only reason she’s been able to climb so high is because he let it happen. She asks Vince and says there’s no way any of this is true. Vince looks worried as fans do the “yes!” chant. Vince just wants to have a word with Shane. Stephanie says they have a little something called WrestleMania coming up and says if Shane wants to come, maybe she can get him a ticket.

Shane says it’s all true. He says at the time, it was “best for business.” Shane holds the ropes as Stephanie leaves the ring. She stops on his face and says she will never forgive him for this. Fans sing “goodbye” to Stephanie as Shane looks on. Vince gets riled up and asks what this is all about. He says he has his checkbook and will write Shane another check if he wants. Vince says name your price. Shane says it’s not about money, it’s never been about money. He says he left big money on the table just to get out from under Vince.

Shane talks about having freedom from Vince now. He talks about the McMahon family generations and his three kids at home. He wants this business to be around for the 6th and 7th generations of McMahons but it’s not looking like it will be around at this rate. Shane says he wants full control of Monday Night RAW. Vince laughs and says that’s a good one. Vince points out Shane would be controlling the whole company if he controls RAW. Vince says things have changed, WWE is a public company now. He says Shane can’t just step in where he left off. Vince says Shane is just itching for a fight, he just came to embarrass Vince and Stephanie. The crowd pops when Vince says people want Shane to run RAW. Vince says people have no clue. Vince says he will give Shane what he wants if Shane has 1 match on 1 night. Vince says if Shane wins his match, he gets his wish. If he loses, Vince wants the key to a lock box Shane has, so Shane will never hold anything over his head again. Vince says he gets to pick the opponent and location. Fans chant “you still got it” as Shane thinks it over. Shane says Vince has a deal and they shake hands. Vince says he has one last opportunity to do something that gets heavily edited by the censors. Vince says one last beating. Shane remembers those beatings but says they only made him stronger. He says Vince is on. Vince says he’s going to name a place and opponent almost as big as Shane’s ego. The place will be WrestleMania 32. The opponent will be The Undertaker.
