Vince yelled at Coach to "bring him out".

Just then after a pause, Stone Cold Steve Austin's breaking glass sounded and his theme music came on. Stone Cold came walking down to the ring eyeing Coach and Vince as he posed from the ring corners. Austin took a mic and began pacing the ring around Vince. Austin began discussing how he might be Vince's son. Vince told Austin "theres no chance in hell" he was his illegitimate son. Austin said they missed out on so many memories while he was growing up. Austin said Vince made it easy for him to just come out and "stun his ass". Austin told Vince he must have "overactve grapefruits" and to help him out Austin delivered a kick to the groin and then a low blow to Vince.

Coach walked up to Austin confronting him for what he just did. Austin then kicked Coach and delivered the Stone Cold Stunner to him. Austin celebrated with beers in the ring pouring them out onto Vince and Coach. Jim Ross said he thinks they can now conclude Stone Cold is not Vince's child. Vince finally got back up and Stone Cold said it's his first time back at the Garden, so he offered to drink a beer with Vince.
