Rookie Diva 2005 Competition #2
Backstage:
Big Show was shown backstage and he looked deep in thought as he gets his shot at JBL and the WWE Championship inside the Barbwire Steel Cage later tonight. Tazz went through the rules of the match, and you can win by pin, submission or escape. He noted that the door will be padlocked shut throughout the match, so the only way to escape would be over the Barbwire.
