He was soon joined by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin who poked fun at Hogan's error (before making one of his own when he mentioned all the WrestleManias Hulk Hogan headlined and included WrestleMania X of which Hogan was not a part of). Finally the trio was completed when The Rock made his way down to the ring in a big WrestleMania moment as the three biggest names in WWE history once again shared the ring together; Later in the Back Hogan was interviewed by "Mean" Gene Okerlund before being interrupted by rivals "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff (who was sporting a HUGE Yosemite Sam style handlebar mustache).

Hogan congratulates him and gives him the mic before returning to the back, but Zeb takes it and says he brought Cesaro into the fold as a Real American months ago.

Well tonight is no different. This is going to be a war of epic proportions because with all due respect with the Brooklyn Nets in the house, they’re on Warriors ground. And with the Splash Brothers and all these Warrior maniacs in the house, there’s going to be a war here in Oakland. So all I’ve got to say is what you going to do Brooklyn Nets when the Splash Brothers and all of the Warrior maniacs run wild on you brother?"

Big Show then interrupted and called all members of the panel old, washed up has beens who had no right in his ring. Show taunted the legends.

They wanted to do something in the ring with Hogan, but they decided to do the cold open H-Phone segment instead.
