Gunther and McAfee exchange words.
McAfee started off the Raw segment by criticizing Gunther for attacking a 60-year-old because of a difference of opinion. After putting over the state of Nebraska in general, McAfee stated that wrestling is now a job for Gunther instead of a dream. McAfee added on to that by accusing Gunther of getting too comfortable, saying that 'The Ring General' will underestimate him at Backlash.

Gunther took McAfee's words to heart, saying that his full and undivided attention will be on him at Backlash. Gunther then threatened to maul and choke McAfee, noting that only the grace of god can lift his arms from his throat at the pay-per-view.
"On Saturday, only the grace of God can lift my arms off your throat."
