Heyman introduced several superstars, including Shane "Hurricane" Helms, Kanyon, and Debra, who all presented Austin with tokens of their esteem. Heyman then showed an Austin tribute video on the Titantron which was paid for by the Alliance. Stephanie then unveiled her tribute to Austin, a reworking of the balled "Wind Beneath My Wings" dedicated to Austin christened "Wind Beneath My Ring." Stephanie initially attempted to have Lillian Garcia, an accomplished vocalist, sing the song. However, upon hearing Lillian's adaptation, Stephanie declared that Lillian lacked the soul and the passion to do it justice, so she would have to sing it herself, much to the approval of several superstars, including Raven and Tommy Dreamer. Stephanie led the tone-deaf Alliance members in caterwauling the song, at which point she decided to pass the microphone to several members to do solos. Chavo Guerrero Jr. was first, at which point Stephanie passed the microphone to Raven's valet, Terri, to do one. Stephanie then called out to Raven and he sang a couple of verses solo, hamming it up all the way.

In the second vignette, we see Raven and Terri sitting in a couch in the VIP suite of WWF New York. Raven is convincing Terri that the Alliance is the place to be. Now she won't ever have to be with a cross-dressing freak [Golddust] or a mop-toting imbecile [Saturn]. Now she can be herself, because the Alliance is all about money and power. Terri finally agrees to join the Alliance because she can be herself, a devil, at last.
In the final vignette, Al Snow and Micheal Cole are interviewing Raven and Terri. Snow asks Raven if he and Terri are an item. Raven states that there are 3 steps to knowledge; what you think, what you know, and what you can prove. Raven thinks his and Terri's partnership will be successful; he knows their relationship is none of Al's business, and he can prove the Alliance is the way to go to Terri by the virtue of all the titles they've won. Snow questions Raven's motives for joining the Alliance. Raven replies that Heyman's sports-entertainment genius is legendary, plus Shane and Steph handle the money, so he's not worried, The Alliance is the trend of the future and the WWF is obsolete. Raven snapped away from ECW, but the farther away he got from his roots the more violently he was snapped back. Now he's come full circle, back to where he started under Paul E.'s wing. Snow asks about how important Summerslam is to the Alliance master plan. Raven explains that Summerslam will prove his point, that there is a unifying force in the Alliance, an intrinsic unity that will make the Alliance come out on top.
