Eric Bischoff Interview
-We start with Eric Bischoff standing in his ring, alongside injured WWE Superstar Lita! Anyone who wants to check out football had better put their remotes down, because Raw is where the action is. There will be three Title matches tonight: Women's, IC, and World Championships. But it gets even better, because at No Mercy, the IC Champion will face the World Champion, winner takes all. One show, one champion: that's what Raw is all about. Some may say that's a little unorthodox, a little radical, but that's what Eric Bischoff is all about. Which brings us to Lita, who looks upset with Bischoff. It seems someone at WWE.com asked Lita what she thought was the better show. Her answer comes up on the TitanTron, with Lita claiming SmackDown is far superior to Raw. Bischoff calls Lita a bitch. Afterall, this is coming from someone who thought she was such a star they went to Hollywood and broke her neck, making her worthless. All Lita is saying is that if Bischoff had some respect for the people who work their asses off night after night, maybe they would respect him. Bischoff says that if Lita wants to keep her new announcing job on Heat, she has about three minutes to change her attitude. Rico, Rosie and Jamal hit the ring, but so does Jeff Hardy. Jeff knocks Rico off the apron, but Jamal superkicks him off the apron. Booker T and Goldust run into the ring and knocks Rosie and Jamal out. Bischoff backs up the ramp and says that Goldust and Booker T obviously didn't learn their lessons last week. So their match with Rosie and Jamal will start now!

In the back, Coach asks Rosie and Jamal what their goal is here, but Rico speaks up and says that the reason he came to Raw is to lead the most dominant team in the WWE to World Tag Team gold.

Jericho tells him that freaks are not cool. Ask Booker T and Goldust. He's not going to be intimidated by a freak in scary red mask. Kane comes up, but Jericho says the interview is over.

In the back, Bischoff tells Jeff Hardy to never ever put his nose in the GM's business. Booker T and Goldust got what they deserved, and now Jeff will get his when he takes on the Big Show. And he better perform well, because all he hears about is Mattitude, and he thinks he may have gotten the wrong Hardy.

In the back, Booker finds Jericho and asks why he called him a loser. Jericho says that's all Booker seems to do. Jericho is the first Undisputed Champion, current IC Champion, and future World Champion. The way Booker sees it, the only thing Jericho will star in is the movie "I Just Got My Blonde Ass Whooped by the Five-Time WCW Champion Here in H-Town, Assclown."

Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Triple H
-The D-Bombs explode and BuhBuh comes down and immediately sets up a table in the corner of the ring. He lets us all know that this table is reserved, then sprays "HHH" on it. It may be tonight, or some night down the road, but some time, Triple H's ass is going through that table. Tonight, he will show himself as something more than just a great tag team wrestler. Tonight, he will do something he has wanted to do ever since Triple H got handed the World Title on a silver platter. Tonight isn't just about him, and it sure as hell is about more than just tables. It's about every one of the guys in the back who has been forced to "play the game" and for every fan who never hand anything handed to them. It's about working hard, breaking your back, and busting your ass for everything you have. It's about beating Triple H and actually earning the right to be called the World Heavyweight Champion.
