We start live outside the arena, with Eric Bischoff pacing around. A limo pulls up, and Bischoff becomes ecstatic. He opens the door, only to find Ric Flair. Bischoff, dejected, asks Flair where Triple H is. Probably off somewhere throwing a fit after losing his Title to Shawn Michaels. But tonight, he's got a chance at the #1 Contendership. Flair says he'll be here. He just checked himself out of the hospital after suffering a crushed trachea. But Bischoff doesn't care about anyone or anything except Raw. Bischoff agrees. All he cares about is himself and what everyone else can do for Raw. And just to prove it, why not have Flair face Kane? Flair says he doesn't sweat Kane, because if he lays a hand on him, he'll have Triple H on his ass. But that's fine, because tonight, Raw is without Triple H, and we'll see how it functions without The Game.

Shawn Michaels Interview
-The Raw music video plays, but the pyros don't explode. Instead, the arena fills with moans as the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels enters with the World Heavyweight Title belt around his shoulder. Michaels says that you'll never guess what he found last night. He's not going to bore us with a long speech about he's really glad to be the new World Heavyweight Champion, so let's get straight to the point. After SummerSlam, he couldn't think about anything except getting revenge on Triple H. And after the Elimination Chamber match, he might have accomplished that goal, seeing as he is now the Champ. So the million dollar quesiton is, where do we go from here? He is not exactly the picture of health. He's a shell of the shell of what he used to be. Does he want to be one of those guys who hangs around too long and doesn't know when to call it quits? Or does he want to be the guy who says he can go out on top as the World Heavyweight Champion? There's a lot of talent in the back, and nothing would thrill him more than being able to come out here and perform with that talent week after week. But the fact is, his body can not handle that anymore. He has tried to be honest. The smart thing for him to do is leave the belt and go home. That would be the best thing, the smart thing, the sensible thing. The problem is, he's never been all that sensible of a guy. Since the last two matches he has been in have been pretty ok, why not see how much this old body has left? The belt is staying right where it is, in the possession of HBK Shawn Michaels. RVD's music hits, and Mr. Monday Night comes out to the ring. Just like everyone else, he enjoys watching the Heartbreak Kid. He found Shawn quite inspiring when he watched him as a kid. He paved the way for wrestlers like RVD. If it wasn't himself leaving as Champion, he's glad it was Shawn, because he knows Shawn will be a fighting champion. Why not, for his first title defense, the Show Stopper goes one-on-one with the Whole Damn Show? HBK takes on RVD? Shawn has never been one to back down from a challenge. I'm back... Eric Bischoff marches to the ring. Before Shawn loses his smile, he needs to remind him that it's Bischoff who calls the shots. And if RVD is going to be the #1 Contender, he'll have to earn it tonight in a Triple Threat No DQ Match. RVD vs. Chris Jericho vs. Booker T, with the winner facing Michaels for the World Title next week on Raw. Michaels says that there's a new sheriff in town, and as the new World Heavyweight Champ, some things will change around here. He won't represent a place with necrophiliac junk going around. Bischoff asks if it offends him as a Christian, but Shawn says it offends him as a wrestling fan (yeah!). So HBK will be back next week to defend his belt, and he'll be pulling for RVD, because he knows that's what the wrestling fans want to see. But if he could address one person for a moment. He asks Triple H how it feels to be the one in the hospital bed watching Shawn Micahels in the ring as the World Heavyweight Champion.

In the back, Spike walks the ring and is soon backed by BuhBuh and a returning D-Von Dudley. Fade Out.

Meanwhile, Spike goes up top and leaps onto Rosie on the outside.

In the ring, BuhBuh punches away on Rico, then elbows him down. Scoop slam by BuhBuh, who holds Rico for D-Von's Wassup Headbutt. They start to ask for tables, when Rosie and Jamal come inside. BuhBuh manages to take Rosie down, but Jamal dropkicks him. Spike runs in and hits Jamal with the Acid Drop, only to turn around into Rico's spinning heel kick. Rico taunts Spike, but turns and walks right into the 3D 1-2-3!

In the back, Stacy is on the phone with a t-shirt company. Test calls and she says that she has the prototypes for the shirts. She's going to take them to the ring and see which the fans like most. Fade Out.

We come back to find Bischoff on the phone. A worker comes in and says that rumor has it, Triple H is on his way and could be pulling in at any moment. Bischoff laughs and goes outside to wait for him.

After clips from the Elmination Chamber, we go outside when another limo pulls up. Again, Bischoff goes to greet it and is delighted to find Big Poppa Pump inside. He says it's just like old times, when they ran all over the place. Bischoff says he wasn't kidding when he invited Steiner as a special guest. Anything he wants, he can have, provided he signs on the Raw dotted line. Fade Out.

Stacy Keibler Interview
-Stacy Kiebler comes out, saying she has a special treat for all the Testicles. Testicles want to be supported and covered, so she designed some t-shirts. So let's decide which one best says: I Am A Testicle! She pulls out one that says "I'm a Testicle" on the front, and on the back, "Rub Me The Right Way." Another says "Be a Testicle" "Take a Test Drive." Then she has one that just says "I Love My Testicles!" She knew the fans would like that one, so she brought a bunch of the shirts and her Testicular Cannon. She breaks out the pneumatic t-shirt cannon and starts shooting shirts at the fans. Stevie Richards marches to the ring, demanding that she stop right now. Last week, she set him up, and then Test gave him the Big Boot. But this week, the biggest Testicle of the all is over in India, and that means that Stacy is all his. It's time for Steven Richards to get some revenge. Stacy, predictably, shoots Stevie in the nuts with a t-shirt. She starts to leave, but Victoria races in and starts beating her down. She applies an armbar and then bites down on her fingers. These people came to see her, the Champion, she screams. She helps Stevie up and laughs as Stacy holds her fingers. Fade Out.

In the back, Stacy complains to Bischoff about Victoria. Bischoff says that he was going to give Trish a rematch, but instead, she will defend her Title for the very first time, against Stacy.

Tommy Dreamer & Jeff Hardy vs. William Regal & Lance Storm
-In the arena, the four men start by brawling outside. Tommy takes Regal inside, then has to fend off both Regal and Storm. Regal lays in with knees to the face. Snapmare and a kneedrop by Regal. Tag to Storm. Storm catches Jeff with a baseball slide that knocks him off the apron. Regal comes in and nails Tommy from behind, then Storm lays in with a blatant choke.

Regal comes back and pulls Jeff off the apron, and then kicks Tommy smack in the face. Storm pins 1-2-3! After the match, Regal brings a chair in the ring and sets it up. He whips Tommy into Storm's drop toehold that smashes Tommy face-first into the chair. Fade Out.

Scott Steiner Interview
-Holla If Ya Hear Me The sirens blare as the Big Poppa Pump makes his way down the ramp and to the ring. Everyone wants to know what took him so long to get here. Since he only cares about his freaks and his peeps, he's been busy. He's got women nationwide that he has to satisfy, and when he takes to the Big O, they know why they call him the Big Bad Booty Daddy. Some of these guys walk down the ramp and say they're the best of all time, when the best of all time is standing right here. Whether he signs with Raw or SmackDown, he's going to prove that no one can match the power of the Genetic Freak. The Y2J Countdown hits 0.00 and the Ayatollah, the King of the World, the Living Legend, the Rock Star, Chris Jericho comes out. He has one question: who in the hell does Steiner think he is? He has no idea what a Big Bad Booty Daddy is. He doesn't care about the freaks or the peeps. And if you want to talk about a body, everyone knows there isn't a better one than Jericho's. He flexes and asks if Steiner is jealous. And think about this: if he comes to Raw, he's not the best in the world, because Jericho is. Steiner may have the largest arms in the world, but Jericho is the Larger Than Life, King of the World, and a huge Rock Star. Tonight, when he wins the Triple Threat match and goes on to beat the Has-Been Kid next week, he'll have a lot bigger things to think about than a jive-talking kid who dresses like he's King Arthur. Steiner says Jericho is the exact kind of guy he talked about. Jericho starts to run to the ring, but stops himself. There's nothing he'd rather do than beat the hell out of Steiner right now, but he has a bigger match tonight. Steiner says he better run, but maybe he'll stick around and see if Jericho is as good as he thinks he is. Jericho runs off, and Steiner reminds us all that Big Poppa Pump is your hook-up, and you should holla if you hear him. Fade Out

Victoria vs. Stacy Keibler (Women's Title Match)
-Victoria starts by thrusting Stacy into the corner, then snap suplexing her 1-2-kickout. Short clothesline by Victoria, but Stacy catches her with a spinning heel kick. Stacy stomps on her and applies a boot choke. Victoria comes back with a big boot. She lifts Stacy onto her back and then drops, smashing Stacy into the mat 1-2-3!

Roundhouse kick by Trish, then mounted punches. Stevie Richards runs down and gives Trish a double-underhook DDT, then leaves with Victoria. Fade Out.

Chris Nowinski vs. Al Snow (School of Hard Knocks Match)
-Nowinski comes to the ring in a jacket with a backpack, lunchbox, and blackboard. He sees that Maven is at the World tonight. Looks like Teacher's Pet isn't at school today. He hopes Maven is watching because he's about to show everyone that it should have been he who won Tough Enough. Last time, he out-wrestled Al Snow, and tonight, he'll out-smart him. Al comes to the ring and tosses Nowinski into the corner, then smashes the blackboard over his head. He tosses Chris to the outside, where he then tosses him over the security barrier. Al goes under the ring and tosses various items into the ring before tosssing Chris himself in the ring. In the ring, Nowinski scores a quick elbow, then goes to his lunchbox. He pulls out powder (chalkdust?) and tosses it in Snow's eyes. Nowinski goes under the ring and gets a skeleton. He breaks off a leg and smacks Al with it. He pulls off the skull and goes to hit Al, but the mood strikes him to perform the famous scene from Hamlet. Al takes the opportunity to beat Nowinski with the entire skeleton. Al dropkicks a chair into Nowinski's face. He puts the dunce cap on Nowinski, then bowls the two ball strike. He sets up four chairs in the middle of the ring then lays Nowinski on top of them. He goes up top for a moonsault, but Nowinski rolls away and Al lands smack on the chairs. Nowinski quickly rolls over 1-2-3! Fade Out.

In the back, Bischoff greets Sean Morley, but goes on about his Val Venis days. Sean stops him and says that he isn't to be called that ever again. But he is glad to have the opportunity to join the Bischoff administration and if he needs someone to pay attention to detail, it's him. Bischoff invites him to finish the paperwork.

Ric Flair vs. Kane
-In the arena, the theme from 2001 hits and The Nature Boy comes to the ring, but he is wearing a suit and doesn't seem ready to compete. As soon as he hits the ring, the fires of hell erupt and Kane comes down. Flair rolls out of the ring and says he was just kidding about what he said to Bischoff. He respects Kane and he's even a little afraid. But at the same time, they both know that Triple H would kick Kane's ass if he laid a hand on Flair. Kane chases Flair around the ring, but Batista runs in. Spinebuster by Batista, then the sit-out powerbomb! Batista leaves Kane broken in the ring with ease.

We come back to an F-View camera spying on Jericho and Christian. Jericho appologizes to Christian for hitting him with a chair. He was caught up in the Elimination Chamber hype. He needs Christian's help. Steiner is still here, Michaels is still here, and who knows when Triple H will show up. Christian walks off, offended.

Booker T vs. Chris Jericho vs. Rob Van Dam
-In the arena, Booker T makes his way to the ring. Booker says tonight we're talking about Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Y2J, and RVD. But nobody mentions the five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time WCW Champ. But that's fine, because all the talking is done. After tonight, he will be #1 Contender for the Title, if you can dig that, suckas. Fade Out. Booker and RVD start out double-teaming Jericho with Booker getting apin, but RVD breaking it.

Booker tosses RVD out of the ring, but gets clubbed by Jericho. Chops by Jericho, but Booker hits a diving shoulder. Chops by Booker, but Jericho goes for a Susnet Flip.

Suddenly, Scott Steiner knocks Christian down on his way to the ring where he begins beating down on Jericho. He clothesliens an entering Christian, then press slams him down. Belly-belly by Steiner on Jericho, then the double-underhook powerbomb. Steiner leaves the ring proud, and as he does, RVD scrambles into the ring. He climbs the turnbuckles and hits Jericho with the Five Star 1-2-3! As Hebner raises RVD's arms in victory, Shawn Michaels walks calmly to the ring. He shakes Van Dam's hands and raises his arm. Fade Out. End Show.
