Barbecue comes to the ring and starts calling mask man out but no one comes out.  He then calls Speedster Lite out saying that he is the mask man.  Speedster Lite comes out and once again denies that he is the mask man.  Speedster goes back to trying to have Barbecue see where Steve Corino was and Barbecue said he already checked with Corino, Rhyno, and Jack Victory.  All three were not even in the state and have reelable alibis to that fact.  Speedster Lite again denies being the mask man and screams at Barbecue for putting him in a Hell In A Cell Match against Rob Van Dam.  Barbecue calls Speedster Lite a chicken and that he wasn't changing the match.  Speedster complained that it is a week after facing Joe in a match and that it is conspiracy between Joe, Barbecue, Scarlet, RVD to get the title from him.  Barbecue laughs and Speedster leaves.  Barbecue goes to follow him and makes it up to the top of the rampway when the lights go out.  The mask man is in front of Barbecue when they come on and spits a fireball into Barbecue's face. He then powerbombs Barbecue through a raw announcing table and then throws him off the stage.  The locker room emptied and circled the mask man.  The lights then went out and the mask man was gone when they came back on.
