RAW Opening: LIVE from Indianapolis, Indiana...coming off the heels of the
pay-per-view Judgment Day which saw the return of the Phenom, the
Undertaker...it's WWF RAW is WAR! "No Chances" hits, and Vince comes out
with no one but his smile. He comes into the ring and grabs a mic. He says
that Judgment Day is when the world comes to the end, and it did for many
Superstars last night. Based on the results of Judgment Day, he says, the
McMahon-Helmsley regime must be living right because they made it through the
night. He says that because of Vince's huge party, DX is a little late, but
they will be here. He says X-Pac and Road Dogg beat the Dudleys at their own
game. Then Shane "single handedly" beat the Big Show 1-2-3. And then,
Vince's son-in-law Triple H "single handedly" won back his WWF Title, even
though the Rock tried to get help from the Undertaker, Vince says. Vince
says it's been great without the Undertaker, and that if the Taker shows up
tonight, he'll be arrested because he walked out on his contract. Vince says
he's not sure if the Rock will swallow his pride and show up, but if he does,
he should go one-on-one with Vinnie Mac, but instead he will face X-Pac, Road
Dogg, Shane, and Triple H in a four on one match. He says that last night
they took the Title from the Rock, and tonight they'll simply take what's
left. Vince leaves as JR and Lawler discuss HBK's disqualification of Triple
H last night. In the back, Vince is strutting around, but Rock is walking
right behind him. Rock turns Vince around and beats the crap out of Vince
using everything from a meal cart to a trash can to Vince's own limo. He
shoves Vince in the limo and yells to the driver to take Vince out. Vince
yells at Rock, so Rock hits Vince with the trash can lid, as the limo speeds
out. Commercial.

comes out from the dark, having heard everything. JR and Lawler show what
happened in the Main Event at Judgment Day. They say that Michael Cole got
an interview last night with HBK. HBK says that he called it right down the
line, he called as best he could, and why does everyone want him to do
better. HBK says all he saw was Rock nail Vince, he got knocked out, and the
next thing he saw was the Undertaker chokeslamming Triple H, which resulted
in a DQ. He says he called it exactly as he saw it, and he can't stand that
everyone wants so much of Shawn Michaels, but when he doesn't live up, people

he saw. In the arena, Essa Rios is with the Godfather getting down with some

Triple H vs. The Rock: Rock's music hits and the People's Champ comes out to
a big pop. Rock says that Triple H brought everything last night: Shane,
Vince, X-Pac, Road Dogg, the Slut, everything. Rock says Triple H gave
everything, but the Rock gave it right back. Rock says that Triple H may
have left Judgment Day the Champ, but he never beat the Rock (oh really?).
Rock guaran-damn-tees that he will retake his Title. Speaking of Champions,
Rock says, the world witnessed the return of the Undertaker. He says that
Taker did the right thing, but on the Rock's time, the wrong time. Rock says
that Vince thought he could pick the Rock's pieces, but now he's in his limo
on Just Got Your Ass Kicked Blvd. and that Road Dogg and X-Pac are probably
still in that truck "sucking it with each other". Rock says he could've
kicked Triple H's ass in the dressing room, but instead the 4 on 1 is now 1
on 1, so why doesn't Triple H just come out. Rock waits and waits, until
Triple H's music hits and the Champ comes out with his wife. They stay on
the ramp. Triple H shows off his Title. He says that before he kicks Rock's
ass again tonight, he wants to say something. He says that they went through
hell last night, and they both gave their all and they made history by doing
what nobody else could do, for sixty minutes. But, he says, last night was
Rock's Judgment Day and he was the Great One, but all that greatness came out
at the end. He says that there are two men staring each other down: one is
in the ring, and is a loser; one is on the ramp, and is a winner. He says
that when all was said and done, he walked out the undisputed WWF Champion,
because he is The Game and because he is that damn good. Rock tells Triple H
to simply "bring it." Triple H drops the mic, takes off his jacket, and
walks down the ramp. They stare each other down, Rock in the ring, Triple H
on the apron. Triple H cautiously enters, but the soon start beating on each
other. Rock beats down on Triple H, but Road Dogg and X-Pac run in and get
beaten down by the Rock. Shane comes in and gets destroyed. Up on the
stage, Vince is helped down by Brisco. Vince goes in, but gets a Rock
Bottom. This allows Corporation X (sorry, but McMahon-Helmsley regime is
getting to redundant) to beat on Rock. Then the Judgment Day girls get on
the Titan Tron and chant a chant about coming back from the dead. The words
"His Judgment Day is Now" flash, Kid Rock's "American Badass" hits and The
Undertaker comes out on his motorcycle. Corporation X wait for him, but then
run at him and they all get destroyed by the new Taker. Taker gets back on
his bike and rides down the ramp, almost hitting Vince. He circles the ring,
and the everyone but Triple H, Rock, Tori, and Steph get run off. In the
ring, Triple H has Rock set up for a Pedigree on the stairs. Rock counters
with a back body drop. On the outside, Triple H sets up a Pedigree on the
announce table, but Rock low blows Triple H and Rock Bottoms him through the
table. Triple H is out cold. Rock is celebrating. The Undertaker is pure
American Badass. I'm Dan The Man, and RAW is OVER!
