When he got backstage, the fans cheered. We then saw a backstage shot of McMahon walking between two lines of WWE stars. Jonathan Coachman stopped him and said he was going the wrong way. McMahon turned around, got at the end, turned and gave one last look. We then saw a shot of McMahon walking slowly outside towards his limo. He stopped twice looking behind him and then continued on.
