- The Rock: Now, the Rock hates to break up your little party, but the Rock figured he'd throw a party of his own right here in Buffalo.
- [the crowd cheers]
- The Rock: But this party's gonna be a little different. The Rock isn't gonna serve up balloons and streamers and cake and give hugs and all that crap. The Rock says, he's gonna serve one thing and one thing only: payback. You see, Triple H, you can keep your WWF title tonight, because it's not about the Rock taking the WWF title from you, it's about the Rock giving you the ass-kicking of a lifetime!
- [the crowd cheers again, then begins a "Rocky" chant]
- The Rock: And it just doesn't matter what type of match it is. It could be the Rock and Triple H in a no-DQ match. It could be the Rock and DX in a handicap match. It could be the Rock and Stephanie in a stick 50 balloons right up your ass match! Because the fact of the matter is this, is that the Rock is gonna get payback, and he's gonna get it... tonight.
