Mankind beats Hunter Hearst Helmsley in a Steel Cage Match by climbing out of the cage just before Chyna can drag Helmsley out. Before Mankind climbs out, he climbs back to the top of the cage, rips his shirt open (to reveal a very crudely drawn heart underneath) then hits an elbow drop from the top of the cage in a tribute to "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. After the match, Dude Love's theme plays. Mankind taps his foot to the music, then manages to get up.

They finally reach Michael Simmons (who isn't watching SummerSlam as his cable company doesn't carry pay-per-view), who picks key #33, which does not work. Michael does, however, win a $5,000 U.S. savings bond for answering the phone. For another call, Rebecca Cohen from Manchester, Missouri picks #14, which also does not work but gets her the complementary $5,000 U.S. savings bond for trying. Ryan Chadick tries his key, but it doesn't work. (He does, however, get a hug from Sable.) Patrick Stevenson's key does not work, either, and nobody wins the million dollars. The winning key is revealed to be #3.
