JR: Well, if you remember, this feud actually dates back to Survivor Series 96. At the Survivor Series, the Undertaker was an unwitting pawn of the Empire and was forced to face Vader in the Best of Seven Series. Now Vader clearly dominated that match... until the Creatures of the Night reached out to the Undertaker and gave him the strength he needed to TOMBSTONE Vader! But then... instead of trying to pin Vader, the Undertaker walked out, giving a victory to the Titan Tower team. Vader was very upset about that. The next time they met was at the Royal Rumble 1997. Vader came to the aid of Jarrett, who was getting beaten on by the Taker. Vader got CHOKE-SLAMMED through a table by the Undertaker, and went in injured against Randy Savage later that evening, and was defeated and hurt bad in the steel cage. Vader was out for a month... but now he's back with a VENGEANCE... and the I/C title is on the line! But this is the Undertaker's type of match!

Heart Attack: Yeah, but if Raw is any indication, you can count on Vader attacking the Undertaker before the bell. And if THAT isn't enough... I don't care WHAT Tyr says... the Rebirth is going to get involved somehow.

Sarah: If the Undertaker can make it to this match unscathed, he has a good chance of winning it.

Pillman: Well, that's the one good thing about the WWF's Casket Match is that unlike other leagues where you can bring down 10, 20, 40 men on one and stuff him in the casket, it's only ONE on ONE! Undertaker? Yeah, he's tough and all, but Vader is the one with the motivation. Vader's winning the I/C title again.

Heart Attack: You could be right, even though this is the Undertaker's type of match.

JR: Well... the Undertaker HAS lost Casket Matches before. The Royal Rumble 1994, it was Hulk Hogan himself who stuffed the Undertaker in the casket and ended their six month long feud. And that match was for the World Title! It COULD happen again!

JR: Well, speaking of the powers of the dark side... the Rebirth... and what not... that will bring us to the SEWER match. Let's hear now from the Dream... and then Valetia Von Strahden!

THE DREAM

(The sound of the winds rushing through the winding passages of the sewers builds up and dies down with a steady beat. The sound of water dripping into the murky puddles maintains a tempo. The sloshing around of the sewer rats adds a chaotic rhythm to the sounds. The oncoming splashes of someone walking comes toward the camera as the noises persist. The Dream crouches down, clad in her full leather outfit, with strands of leather hair cascading down the sides of her slender face. Her eyes betray no emotion.... save for hatred.)

Dream: Valetia listen... the sewers are coming alive. They know of your homecoming... and they are preparing. Preparing... for your FUNERAL! Everything is in place to welcome home the little vampire. Welcoming her back into the sewers from whence she came. Listen to the sounds Vampire-bitch... to the sounds of the symphony... of your destruction! Sleep well these coming nights... for on the day of the sabbath... you will never rest again... outside of the eternal sleep! Pleasant dreams.

(The twisted and chaotic sounds continue as the camera fades out.)

VALETIA VON STRAHDEN

The lights go Dark and the Druids slowly walk down to the ring carrying a casket. One of them does naught have a robe on, he is Trent Reznor. The candle light up as they pass and they carefully set the casket down and stand around ringside. Trent slowly opens the casket and Valetia Von Strahden slowly rises. Trent and Valetia walk into the ring, side by side and Trent produces a microphone:::

Trent: Hello everyone! Trent Reznor here and I wanna say that WrestleMania is gonna be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! We're gonna have a great time so just sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the show. I believe my Lady has something she wants to say...

Valetia: Dream...................Your power was taken away the second that I left for I took this. <holds up a book of spells> That's right Dream.................Without this you're nothing!.

Trent: That's all we need to say honey.
