We start live with Eric Bischoff talking to a majority of the heels on the roster. He tells them that he doesn't want Stone Cold as an enemy for the rest of his life. He is going to talk to Stone Cold and bury the hatchet, so he doesn't want any of them screwing things up. Chief Morley asks Bischoff to reconsider, when the Rock walks in. Rock tells Morley to leave so he and Bischoff can speak alone. Bischoff asks if Rock is getting ready for his match with Booker T. Rock says he's not getting ready, because the match will not happen. He could whoop Booker T's ass, and fighting for the World Title is something he wants to do--just not now. The only thing The Rock hasn't accomplished is beating Stone Cold at WrestleMania, and that eats away at him inside. He doesn't need to fight Booker T. Bischoff says that he has sponsers and advertisers counting on seeing the Rock in action. Rock says that if that's all it is, then he'll be in action tonight, just not against Booker T. As for his opponent, just leave that up to The Great One.Rob Van Dam & Kane vs. Chris Jericho & Christian
-We cut straight to the arena, skipping over any opening videos or pyro, as Rob Van Dam and Kane enter the ring. The Y2J Countdown hits 0.00 and out comes the Ayatollah, the Rock Star, the Living Legend, the King of the World, Chris Jericho. Oh, and Christian, too. RVD and Christian start, with Christian hitting a shoulder block, but RVD flipping him down and hitting a mule kick 1-2-shoulder up. Tag to Jericho, who immediately gets hit with a spinning heel kick. Diving elbow by Jericho, followed with a back suplex. Chops by Jericho. RVD dropkicks Jericho out of the air. Tag to Kane. Clothesline by Kane, then another. Back body drop by Kane, who then knocks Christian off the apron. Big Boot to Jericho. Kane goes up top and hits the flying clothesline 1-2-shoulder up. Big boot by Jericho, but he runs into a choke. Christian leaps off the top, but Kane catches him in a choke as well. They low blow out of their predicament and whip Kane into the corner. Kane back bodydrops Jericho out of the ring, and shoves Christian away. Tag to RVD. Van Dam hits a flying spin kick to Christian, then Rolling Thunder. Meanwhile, outside, Jericho whips Kane into the stairs. He gets on the apron and grabs RVD. Christian runs to hit RVD, but inadvertantly hits Jericho off the apron. Van Dam catches Christian with a spinning heel kick and goes up top for the Five Star Frog Splash! As Van Dam sells the impact, Jericho runs in and hits the Lionsault on him 1-2-3! Jericho raises his arms after a strategic victory. He celebrates up the ramp, only to be greeted at the stage by some Sweet Chin Music. Michaels stands over Jericho and accepts his challenge for WrestleMania. Fade Out.Booker T Interview
-Booker says that he is upset about not fighting The Rock, but there's nothing he can do about that. What he can do something about are the things that Triple H said to him last week. Triple H said that he was an entertainer, not a wrestler, someone who would never amount to anything, and that people like him were just here to lose. Booker says he is an entertainer, as he entertains all the fans 24/7. But he's the youngest from an eight child family. His father passed on while he was young, and he got mixed up with the law. When you lose yourself and put a gun in someone's face, that's aggravated armed robbery. He did his time, and he thought about himself. Triple H hasn't walked in his shoes, and hasn't seen what Booker has seen. Triple H said that he wanted to see Booker dance, because people like him don't win Championships. Well then why doesn't Triple H come down the ramp right now so Booker can dance all over his ass before WrestleMania, when he becomes the World Heavyweight Champion. Instead of Triple H, Ric Flair comes out on stage. Flair walks into the ramp, saying that Booker isn't Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods, and he damn sure isn't Triple H, the World Champion. Nineteen months in jail may have made Booker T bad to the bone, but it doesn't change the fact that his card doesn't read World Heavyweight Champion. That's why Triple H sent Flair out here, telling him to tell Booker that he's too good to sink to Booker's level. But he also told Flair to tell Booker that next week, Booker will have two options: when they arrive, he can pick up Triple H's bags, put them in the limo, drive them to the hotel and help with their bags, with the knowledge that he finally did something he was made for, or he can do something he'll regret. Booker decks Flair and then walks up the ramp. We find that he is making his way through the halls, and enters Triple H's dressing room. Booker finds Triple H at the sink. Trips tosses a dollar at Booker and tells him to bring him a hand towel. Booker decks Triple H and smashes the door into his face. Fade Out.As we return, Triple H tells Flair that Booker attacked him from behind and that he never saw it coming. He and Flair leave to retaliate.
Jeff vs. Rico
-Jeff and Rico lock up, but we cut to the arena doors, where Stone Cold enters and immediately runs into a woman, knocking drinks onto her. Back in the ring, Rico takes Jeff down for a two count. Jeff comes back with the Whipser in the Wind. He back bodydrops RIco to the outside. Rosie and Jamal roll him back in, but Jeff uses Rico to leap onto Rosie and Jamal outside. Jeff leaps back into the ring, sunset flipping Rico in the process 1-2-3!In the back, Triple H confronts Maven and a vendor about something, but the audio is out. As Triple H clocks the vendor, the sound comes back, with Maven telling Triple H that the guy wasn't on Tough Enough. Triple H chokes Maven, telling him to get his gear because they're going to fight. Fade Out.
As we return, Stone Cold is walking the halls. Goldust calls him over and says that Bischoff wants to personally appologize and bury the hatchet.
In the back, Rock looks around his dressing room, saying that it is a poor excuse for a star. No wonder Jim Thome left. Rock picks up his guitar and plays a song about how much Cleveland sucks. Some one comes in, and Rock asks if they are ready to go one-on-one with the Great One. The camera pans over and we see that he has challenged The Hurricane. Helms asks if Rock is ready to go toe-to-toe with the Superhero. Rock says that he's ready and excited, because it's going to be a No DQ match, allowing all superpowers. Rock asks what superpowers The Hurricane has that he can bring. Helms says that he has HurriPowers, bitch. Rock says that reminds him why he wants to whip Helms' ass. First he talked trash about Booker T throwing Rock out of the ring, then he talks about Rock being scared of Stone Cold. But this is the biggest night of the Hurricane's life. He knows Hurricane will bring it, so he offers good luck. They shake hands, and Rock decks Helms.
Trish Stratus vs. Jazz
-The winner of this match will face Victoria at WrestleMania for the Women's Title. Trish starts with a quick hurricanrana, but Victoria comes in and decks both Trish and Jazz with the Women's Title, causing a DQ.Eric Bischoff Interview
-Bischoff comes to the ring. Last week, he ordered Stone Cold to be beaten to a bloody pulp. He had never been beaten the way Stone Cold beat him. But he let emotions get in the way of business. He is sorry. He's also sorry that he fired Austin via Fed-Ex back in WCW. He's sorry he told Austin that he wouldn't amount to anything. And while he's at it, he's sorry he smashed JR's head with a cinder block. The point is, these people shouldn't hate him, and Austin shouldn't hate him. If Bischoff hadn't fired Stone Cold from WCW, the whole Rattlesnake, Austin 3:16, Stone Cold Steve Austin thing wouldn't have happened. In a way, Bischoff is the reason why Stone Cold is here, and Stone Cold is the reason Bischoff still has a dead. They go together. They're both blue jeans guys. They both hunt and fish. They both went up against Vince McMahon and revolutionized the industry. They're the same animal deep down. Why don't they bury the hatchet here and now. The glass breaks, and Stone Cold Steve Austin enters the ring. Bischoff immediately asks if they can let by-gones be by-gones and bury the hatchet like men. He extends his hand. Austin asks if Bischoff wants him to just shake his hand and forget everything that he did and said to him after he took credit for everything that Stone Cold has done. Austin gives him the finger and tells him to put his hand away. Bischoff thinks he's something special, but there's one word that keeps running through his head: boring. Bischoff wants to bury the hatchet and put everything behind them, but the only thing Austin wants to bury is his foot in Bischoff's ass. The Rock comes out on stage and stops Stone Cold. Bischoff may want to be Stone Cold's friend, but the Rock doesn't. The Rock wants to smack Austin's face. Austin tells him to come down and do it. Rock has done it all in this business, except for one thing. The last two times Stone Cold went one-on-one with The Great One, Austin whooped his ass. Austin asks if Rock wants to go for three times. Rock says that Austin ain't nothing. Austin tells Rock to take his glasses off so they can all see how scared he is. Austin lays on the mat and dares Rock to come and pin him. Rock turns down the offer, saying that at WrestleMania, and only at WrestleMania, will he whoop that bald-headed ass. Austin says that he's not leaving this building until he whoops someone's ass, and if Rock is waiting until WrestleMania... Austin turns to Bischoff and starts stomping him into the corner. Rock runs down, but then backs out of the ring. Fade Out.Triple H vs. Maven
-Triple H starts by clubbing Maven in the back, beating him to the mat. Trips tosses Maven out of the ring. On the outside, Trips shoves Maven into the stairs. Back inside, Maven gets in a few kicks, but Triple H clotheslines him down. Triple H knees Maven repeatedly, then chokes him on the ropes. Maven gets in some shots, but Triple H picks him up and drives him into the canvas. More punches by Triple H. Maven hits a couple elbows, but Triple H locks in a sleeper hold. Maven climbs up and hits a jawbreaker. He explodes with a fury of punches, then a big boot, only to run into a spinebuster by Triple H. Trips picks up Maven and hits the Pedigree 1-2-3! After the match, Triple H picks up Maven and then tosses him over the ropes, only for Maven to get his head twisted in the ropes. As Triple H celebrates, Al Snow rushes to help Maven out of the situation. Triple H grabs Snow and Pedigrees him.In the back, Bischoff can't believe Steve Austin. Chief Morley tries to cheer him up by saying that not even McMahon tried to make amends with Stone Cold. Bischoff realizes that McMahon's time is consumed with Hulk Hogan and their match at WrestleMania. Now there's no one to stop him from doing what he should have done at No Way Out. Next week, it's going to be Eric Bischoff vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin.
In the back, Stacy is on the phone with Test. She tells him that she'll be fine because Jericho was already taken out by Shawn Michaels. She hears a woman in the background and finds that Test is already in South Padre Island, even though the Girls Gone Wild PPV isn't until Thursday.
In the back, Terri runs to find Stone Cold and asks what he thinks of getting to fight Eric Bischoff next week. Austin laughs and says that he likes it.
Dudley Boyz vs. Lance Storm & Chief Morely
-The D-Bombs explode, and the Dudleys make a surprise appearance, as they are supposedly suspended. Morley and Storm come out, accompanied by three police officers. Morley says that there must be some confusion. Only one of the Dudleys will be fighting tonight, and it will be D-Von facing Morley and Storm in a handicap match. If he loses the match, they'll remain suspended. If he wins, they will be reinstated. But if BuhBuh or anyone interferes, they will remain suspended indefinately. The cops escort BuhBuh to the back. Morley and Storm jump D-Von and pound on his back. They chop away at D-Von. D-Von tosses Storm onto the apron, then whips Morley into Storm 1-2-kickout 1-2-kickout. D-Von hits a running clothesline, then a DDT 1-2-broken by Storm. D-Von beats on Storm, hitting a clothesline in the corner, then a flapjack 1-2-kickout. Powerslam by D-Von 1-2-kickout. D-Von elbows both his opponents and applies a dragon sleeper on Storm, but Morley hits him in the back. Morley knees D-Von in the back and Storm htis a jumping calf kick to knock him down. Tag to Morley who goes up top for the Money Shot 1-2-3! Fade Out.Jerry Lawler/GGW
-As we return, Jerry Lawler is in the ring for a Girls Gone Wild Wet T-Shirt Contest. This Thursday, there will be a Girls Gone Wild PPV, but they're starting early tonight. King calls out four young ladies, all wearing orange tops. One at a time, Lawler will wet each one of them down, and then the audience will decide who is the wildest. Lawler gets ready to spray the first woman down, when Stacy Kiebler comes to the ring. When she talked to Test earlier, she realized that she's just as wild as any other girl. So she has decided that she will get the girls all wet. She takes the water gun from Lawler. Stacy sprays the four girls down. Lawler asks for the audience's vote. Before he announces the winners, Stacy tells everyone that Test won't be alone at the Girls Gone Wild PPV. She'll be there too, and she'll show how wild a diva can get. But she doesn't want to wait until then. She wants to get wet right now. She turns around and Lawler sprays her butt with the water. Fade Out.The Rock vs. The Hurricane
-Rock starts out by smacking The Hurricane, then whipping him into the corner and smacking him again. Helms starts firing back, and Rock leaves the ring to reorganize. Helms goes out after him and continues the beating. Back in the ring, Rock hits a Samoan Drop. He puts on Helms' cape and stomps on Hurricane while wearing it. Helms fires back, but Rock clotheslines him down. Suplex by Rock 1-2-shoulder up. Rock chokes Helms on the ropes. He rolls Helms into the corner, where he continues the beating. Helms starts to fight back, but Rock clotheslines him again. Snapmare by Rock, into a sleeper. Rock maintains the sleeper for quite some time before Helms finally breaks out.

Rock punches out of the hold and applies his own choke. Helms low blows Rock and hits the Rock Bottom! Hurricane crawls over to the Rock 1-2-shoulder up! Helms took too long to cover. Punches by Helms, but Rock catches him with a spinebuster. Rock sets and goes to take off the elbow pad like always, but instead gives the fans an obscene gesture.
