JBL's music hits destracting Edge.  Big Show reaches in and CHOKESLAM for the win

During the Commercial break they set up for Carlito's Cabana.  They look like they do alot, but it's simple stuff that makes it look great.  Roll out carpet, hang up tree, hang up cabana and put a chair in.

Edge & Bishoff
Edge complains how JBL destracted him and asks what Bishoff is going to do.  Bishoff turns it around and says what are you (edge) going to do.  Edge vows to make an appearance at Smackdown.
