We take a look back at Bill Goldberg's challenge to Drew McIntyre from last week.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look at last week's WWE Championship match and the return of Bill Goldberg.

Drew McIntyre says he wants to respond to Bill's challenge.  He saw legends who paved the way for him were on the stage.  When I was about to thank them, you knocked on the door and you were there.  I didn't see Bill Goldberg coming.  One of the most destructive force in WWE history.  Drew says his brother and he used to watch Goldberg when they were kids.  Never meet your heroes in person because they will let you down.  I want to respect and honor you but you let me down.  You put words in my mouth.  I am a firm believer of getting respect and giving respect. 

You never won the WWE Championship so you decided to challenge me.   I was not going to accept your challenge because you are 20 years older than me.  That changed when you put your hands on me.  I accept your challenge and in your own words . . . YOU'RE NEXT

Matt Riddle is in the back and he talks about winning the title from Bobby Lashley.  He says it is like getting the biggest pizza.  We see that he is talking to Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado.

Lince says they hope Riddle wins because they cannot stand the Hurt Business.  He tells Matt to watch his back and Matt discusses the inability to see your own back.

T-Bar says the power of positivity will be your undoing.  I am positive I will twist your body into the shape of your trombone.  It will make the sound of your failing spirit and your broken bones.

Randy Orton is in the back and Sarah ambushes him to ask him about Triple H accepting his challenge.

Randy says they go way back and Hunter knows him better than anyone else.  There was a time early in his career when Hunter knew Randy better than Randy knew himself.  Randy says he has a new found hatred for himself and it can be a horrible thing.  Since he can direct that hate, it is a good thing.  He can direct it at someone else, like Triple H.
